I read a fantastic way of a "do it your self" oracle. This is what you do (or what I did anyway). Think of 7 of your favorite songs. Then think of a favorite line from each song and write each line on a separate slip of paper. Then put them aside. Then think of 7 questions you want answered and write down each question on a separate slip of paper so you have one pile with questions and another with the answers. Simply pull one question out of one pile then pull the answer out of the other pile! It works! The song title will answer the question. It is amazing.

Snakefinger (W/ The Residents) - Kill The Great Raven
Kill The Great Raven Kill the great raven
His tiny eyes, they search the skies He looks so alone, so he must die
"Oh, does he really have to die?" "Oh yes, he really has to suffer"
Kill the great raven (repeated)
And when he dies, to his surprise The sun will set and he will rise
"Where will he go?" "He'll become the sun of course. We must have one you know"
Kill the great raven

Christopher Dawes - Rat Scabies & The Holy Grail
pg. 140: "One of the reasons I was [in Paris] was because I wanted to meet 'Mad Dog'. I remembered 'Track down Mad Dog' from the List Of Things To Do To Find The Holy Grail. His name intrigued me, as it probably would anyone, but it also made me feel faintly nervous. Which was stupid, really, considering I spend most of my time hanging out with somebody called Rat Scabies."
pg. 141-142: "Back in the 60s Martin ['Mad Dog' Stone] had played guitar in The Action, a London mod outfit whose records were produced by George Martin, the Beatles studio supremo. Scabies first met him in the mid-70s, in the earliest days of The Damned, by which point Martin had joined the trippy rockers the Pink Fairies, who were one of those bands music journalists usually describe as 'seminal'. But within a year or two, too old to be a punk (although his 'Mad Dog' antics earned him a degree of of kudos with the spiky-headed brigade), Martin swapped one major love of his life for another, giving up on music in favour of the book business. He has worked as a book scout ever since, initially in London and latterly in Paris, but regularly waking up in some other city as he travels in search of rare and antiquarian titles. "I must confess that I thought Scabies had exaggerated his friend's 'expert' status. He was, after all, known as Mad Dog. So I hadn't fully grasped that Martin was one of the best book scouts in the world. He was the inspiration* for the principal character in 'White Chapel, Scarlet Tracings', Ian Sinclair's novel based on the workings of the book trade. Playing the part of himself, he also has a lead role in "A Pound Of Paper", John Baxter's book-collecting memoir. He once paid Fr 1,000 for an original edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' and almost immediately sold it for Fr 36,000. On another occasion, he flogged Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page a copy of the I Ching which had belonged to occult magnate Aleister Crowley."
Rat and Christopher meet Mad Dog in search of a pamphlet titled, "Le Serpent Rouge", The Red Snake/The Red Dragon, etc. They drink a copious amount of wine and the subject turns to ghost stories. Christopher doesn't believe in ghosts. Mad Dog, on the other hand, does. He tells a story of how one night with his friend Phil Lithman, A.K.A. Snakefinger, they saw the ghost of a woman emerge from a wall, on a white horse, whilst standing at a bus stop. Both men saw it, and concocted a method to test whether they saw the same thing: One would say a word, the other would compliment that word. Mad Dog said "Woman". Snakefinger said "Horse". They made a pact that whoever died first would come back from the other side and give a sign that they were still around.
pg 144-145: "Like Martin, Phil was a guitarist. And also like Martin, Phil was a bloody good guitarist. Phil Lithman, better known as Snakefinger, went on to cult acclaim as a solo artist and as an associate of the American experimentalists The Residents, arguably the most idiosyncratic band of all time. He and Martin stayed best friends, even after Phil moved across to San Francisco. They were still best friends in 1987, when Phil suffered a major heart attack. He was 39 years old. By coincidence, or synchronicity if you prefer, he died the day that his last ever record was released. It was called "There's No Justice In Life. 'After Phil's funeral his Mum gave me his guitar,' said Martin. 'I took it home with me that night. I was very tired and very emotional, it had been such a dreadfully sad day, and I was exhausted by the time I got in. So I gently leaned Phil's guitar case against the wall and went straight to bed. But in the middle of the night, I was awoken by the massive power chord - KUZZAAANNNGGG - that came ripping out of the guitar case.' Martin drained the last of his coffee and popped his notebook in his pocket. 'Of course, there might be a very good reason why that happened.' He shrugged. 'I can't think of one, but it all depends on what you want to believe, doesn't it? And I know what I think happened there.'"
* Martin 'Mad Dog' Stone was also the inspiration for the main character of Arturo Pérez-Reverte's book "The Club Dumas", which, in turn, was inspiration for Roman Polanski's film "The Ninth Gate" starring Johnny Depp. It should be noted, Martin is rather Elvish, and I'm sure he got a kick out of the film portrayal.

Wow, that last post took like 45 minutes. I had to dig out the book, then search for the pages, and then transcribe it. Now I have to put the pieces together...
It's going to be a long night, me-thinks.

On 17th January 1967, a document was submitted to the French National Library called "Le Serpent Rouge (The Red Serpent)" as part of "Les Dossier Secrets". Notably, it appeared there three weeks before the release of Gérard de Sède’s book "The Accursed Treasure of Rennes-le-Château", that introduced the mystery to the wider French public. And 6 months before Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... Original Record of Le Serpent Rouge in the French National Library: catalogue.bnf.fr/servlet/biblio?idNoeud=1&ID=33163629&SN1=0&SN2=0&host=catalogueRat Scabies went to Mad Dog to find a copy of this "pamphlet". The following is the text: "1. Aquarius How strange are the manuscripts of this friend, great traveller of the unknown. They come together as white light but for one who knows separately, they are the colours of the rainbow; for the artist these six colours unite like magic in his palette and form black. 2. Pisces This friend, how would you know him? His name is a mystery but his number is that of a famous seal. How can one describe him? Maybe like the pilot of the everlasting Ark of Noah, impassive like a pillar on his white rock looking beyond the black rock towards the south. 3. Aries In my arduous search I was trying to hack a way with my sword through the dense vegetation of the woods. I wanted to reach the place of the ‘Sleeping beauty’ in which some poets can see the QUEEN of a lost kingdom. Desperate to find the way I was aided by the parchments of my friend, they were for me like the thread of Ariadne. 4.Taurus Thanks to him, from now on with a watchful eye I could make steady progress. I can find the 64 scattered stones of the perfect cube which the brothers of the beauty of the black wood had scattered when they fled from the white fort while they were being persued by the usurpers. 5. Gemini Reassemble the scattered stones and, working with square and compass, put them back in order; find the line of the meridian in going from East to West, then looking from South to the North and finally in all directions to find the looked-for solution. Station yourself in front of the fourteen stones making a cross. The circle is the ring and crown and the crown forms the diadem of the Queen of the Castle. 6. Cancer The Mosaic tiles of this sacred place alternate black or white and Jesus, like ASMODEUS observes their alignments. I seem incapable of seeing the summit of the secret place of the Sleeping Beauty. Not being Hercules with magical power how do I solve the mysterious symbols engraved by the witnesses of the past. In the sanctuary however, is the font, fountain of love, of those who believe reminding us of these words ‘BY THIS SIGN YOU WILL CONQUER‘. 7. Leo I am aware of the scent of the perfume which impregnates the sepulchre of the one I must release. Long ago her name was ISIS, Queen of the benevolent springs, COME TO ME ALL YOU WHO LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. Others knew her as Magdalene with the celebrated vase full of healing balm. The initiates know her to be Notre Dame des Cross. 8. Virgo I was like the shepherds of the celebrated painter Poussin puzzled by the enigma of ‘ET IN ARCADIA EGO‘. Would the voice of the blood form an image of our ancestral past. Yes, a light of inspiration floods my mind; now I understand. I know now the fabulous secret and what is more amazing is that when the four knights moved, one of the horses left four hoofprints in the rock. Here is the sign which Delacroix has given in one of the three paintings in the Chapel of Angels. There is the seventh sentence which a hand has traced: ‘DELIVER ME OUT OF THE MIRE, AND LET ME NOT SINK. Two times I.S. embalming and embalmed. Miraculous vessel of the eternal White Lady of Legends. 9. Libra I began my journey in shadows and completed it in the light. At the window of the ruined house I look across the trees denuded by Autumn. At the summit of the mountain, the cross stood out from the crest of the midday sun. It was the fourteenth and highest of all with 35cm. Here, then, is my knight’s tower on the circuit of the divine horseman of the abyss. 10. Scorpio There is a celestial vision for the one who recalls the four tasks of E.M. Signol around the line of the meridian; the same Choir (heart) of the sanctuary from which radiates the source of love for one another. I turn looking at the rose of P then to that of the S. Then from the S to the P until my mind is dizzy. The spiral in my mind becomes like a monstrous octopus expelling its ink, the shadows absorb the light. I put my hand to my mouth, biting my palm, maybe like Olier in his coffin. Curses, I know the truth, He has passed, in doing good as did he of the flowery tomb. But how many have pillaged the house, leaving only embalmed corpses and a number of metal things they could not carry? What strange mystery is concealed in the new Temple of Solomon, built by the children of St. Vincent? 11. Ophiuchus (The Serpent) Cursing the profane in their ashes and those who follow their ways; returning from the darkness while making the gesture of horror at the abyss into which I had plunged. Here is the proof that I knew the secret of the Seal of Solomon and I had visited the secret places of this Queen. Take Heed my friend, do not add or take away one iota; think and think again, the base lead of my words may contain the purest gold. 12. Sagittarius Returning again to the white hill, the sky opens its floodgates. Close to me a presence, its feet in the water, like one who has just received the mark of baptism, I turn away again to the east, facing me I see unwinding endlessly by his coils, the enormous Red Serpent mentioned in the documents, rigid and bitter, the huge, unleashed beast at the foot of the white mountain beast becomes scarlet with anger. 13. Capricorn My emotions are elated, deliver me out of the mire, immediately I woke up, my dream is over. I meant to tell you that it was a dream I had on this 17th January, the day of Saint Sulpice, but the nightmare persisted. On reflection, I wish I had told it to you as a fairytale by Perrault. In the pages which follow, dear reader, are the results of a dream which nursed me from the bizarre to the unknown. Let he who has the understanding use it with wisdom."

His asshole is the Brown Eye within the Gray Triangle... Wings - Back To The Egg [Earth, Kubrick reference] cover (1979): Notice the Two lanterns are Eyes, and the Fireplace is a Mouth eating Paul. Also, the Earth is within a Trapezoid. A Trapezoid. Xeper.org The Grateful Dead - Mars Hotel back cover (1974): (Note the 'indecipherable' words above the image read, in a mirror upside-down, " Ugly Rumours".

AND SO WE RETURN TO OUR ORIGINAL BROADCAST: The Damned - New Rose The first "Punk Rock" single. The Damned beat The Ramones + by a few months. To their credit, the Ramones were travelling to the UK and performing before the so-called punk groups in the UK even formed. It's a similar story to the Velvet Underground *. "The Velvet Underground and Nico" sold about 20,000 copies by 1970 (a made up figure, but it didn't do well). However, it is said, everyone that heard the album started a band. The same was true of the Ramones first concerts in the UK. They played very small shows to a future members of the Damned, the Buzzcocks, Sham 69, Joy Division, The Clash, X-Ray Spex, etc., etc. were there. Granted, Throbbing Gristle were at it in 1974 with the COUM Transmissions, but nevermind that, for now. New Rose: The Rose Cross + It should be noted, the name "The Ramones" came from a pseudonym Paul McCartney used while booking hotel rooms. * As the Story goes, Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison were friends with a man named Tony Conrad that happened upon a book called "The Velvet Underground" which was originally published in 1963 on the sidewalk of a random street in New York City. The book described (and was about) the BDSM subculture. "Everything is Everything."

Hawkwind - Quark, Strangeness and Charm Oddly enough, this is a video from the Marc Bolan Show: "Remember, keep a little Marc (sic) in your heart..." Odd, because he says, "The band that should have written Star Wars..." and "My best Friends..." I forgot about this subtlety while searching around for an adequate video to post. I would say this is FAR more adequate than I was hoping to find. I must be on to something... The following is an interview with Bob Calvert (Ca. 1977). It should be noted, Hawkwind played the Isle of Wight festival, and this interview takes place quite late in their career (the link to the page at the bottom, special goodies may be found there.): "Quark, strangeness and charm. An entirely new sketch starring Bob Calvert. Our legendary hero has spent the last year saving sci-fi rock band Hawkwind from the dreaded funk. Now read on... "Alan Powell and Paul Rudolph who were effectively the rhythm section of the band, had distinctly different ideas to me and Dave Brock - and we're the ones who have to take responsibility for the direction. There was always an argument about the style of music because they wanted to play a more funky rhythm and they weren't too keen on our near obsession with fantasy and science fiction, so it came to an obvious split," says Calvert cunningly disguised as a mortal, eating melon in a Soho restaurant. Powell and Rudolph have formed their own band, Kicks, and saxophonist Nik Turner has also left. He'll be working with Steve Hillage. But the institution of Hawkwind continues even though Calvert admits that in 1977 they're hardly a fashionable band. "We try to stay outside fashion and do what interests us and if people come round to liking what we do that's fine. But no, we're not as popular as we have been though we do still manage to pull a large concert audience," he says. Point is, the last album 'Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music' was their least successful. "It was not a very good album," concedes our hero. "Because it was made before the split and under the tension of a lack of co-operation." But the latest 'Quark, Strangeness And Charm' is a more solid achievement. "The musical direction is not vastly different but it's a step further from what we've done before. We seem to be able to clarify what we're doing now, whereas before it was instinctive, a bit thrown together. Nowadays more thought goes into it, I think the music is more sophisticated. To me, Hawkwind is a way of life. Other things I've written, like poetry, I would sometimes put into Hawkwind, but it does have a clearly defined area. For instance we've never done a love song." An example of Calvert's poetry met you on the way in to this article, as did the subject of a play the man's written about Brian Jones."I've researched it quite a lot," he says. "And a lot of the things that were happening to Brian Jones were happening to Donald Crowhurst. So I've written this play, an extremely controversial piece of work actually, especially as far as the Rolling Stones parts of it are concerned. I don't really want to say too much about it in case it's squashed before it's even seen the light, but it's full of strange coincidences because they were both driven to a kind of suicide by inadequacy and the drive of ambition for fame. They were carried along by publicity. To get a thing like this staged is going to be difficult," he adds. "I don't think various members of the Rolling Stones might like the way they're being portrayed and it would be easy for someone round the Stones to stop the whole thing by not allowing the music to be used which is what they've done before. I understand Mick Jagger would like a film made of Brian Jones, I don't know whether it's true." And if you thought that was a revelation how about this for a bit of science fiction gossip: Johnny Rotten used to hang around Hawkwind. (Gasp). "Yeah, I knew him vaguely from some time ago, but I don't want to blow his image for him," maintains Calvert. "I don't want to suggest that he might not be 20 years old. He came to see us when we were in Camden Town and I knew his face..." But Calvert refuses to be drawn anymore although he denies rumours that Rotten was once a Hawkwind roadie! In fact he admires much of the punk rock scene: "Johnny Rotten is proving that freedom of speech cannot be taken for granted in this country." But "while they're saying decadence is to be despised they're manifesting another sort of decadence just as much, in the same sort of star syndrome. We've done punk kind of things," owns up our hero. "In fact back in 1972 I think, just after 'Silver Machine' we wanted to follow it up with ' Urban Guerilla', a very dangerous piece of work actually. "It was about urban bombing and just after we released if the IRA had a really concentrated attack all over London, so the record was quickly withdrawn. United Artists quite rightly got cold feet about it because it would have been very likely they'd have made themselves a target for a bomb attack." And you thought Hawkwind were just a bunch of old cosmic hippies. "Hawkwind is an experimental group at a time when rock music is very conventional; very conservative," claims Calvert. "That's the thing that puzzles me about the 'new wave' actually. It's produced by kids who have grown up with the media at their disposal and yet still their view of the world is so old-fashioned. Their political ideals seem to be based on really outdated ways of thinking; influenced by George Orwell. They still believe that a 1930's vision of paranoia for the future applies for our time. Big Brother is watching you is nothing to the subtle techniques that are already being used. The 'new wave' is the most conventionalised influence I've ever noticed in any art form at all." Hawkwind presumably defy convention. " To my mind the psychedelic era was the most creative with new adventures in lifestyle and music style; pharmaceutical experiments. I tend to be against trends," (which is why he's dressed like a solicitor's clerk), "because it's a denial of individuality. There are people now who are so trendy they can't like anything unless it's been OK'd by the trend, and they end up being unable to form an opinion. "During the acid rock period there was a new approach to the music but now it's all gone back to the three-minute pop format, even the current avant-garde use it. I'm really not even sure if rock is the answer anymore." Calvert, like his band, thrives on being unfashionable; calculatedly enjoys going against the grain. From his house in Devon he doesn't view modern urban society as the frightening picture painted by Ob Noxious from his tower block flat. But he also warns that Hawkwind "are not a joke". "Hawkwind is more than just entertainment. It's a serious band but people don't take it seriously, they think it's a joke. But that's starting to change. It's certainly more than the common misconception of us being a bunch of Ladbroke Grove hippies into science fiction. In fact I suppose Nik Turner was the nearest we got to a hippy. In many ways Hawkwind is unique; there's no other band like it. We're in touch with the modern world as people and we take an interest; we're not living outside the tide of events just because we're interested in science fiction." Science Fact Physicists now believe that the atom is not the smallest particle of matter. It is in fact a quark." www.starfarer.net/nuthort.html

The town I live in is full of Bars. Every day there are wasted Men and Women walking about. Tonight I was walking to buy my cheap Cigarillos and happened upon two drunkards, a Woman and a Man. The Woman turned to me and said, "You should probably walk past us, we may be walking too slow." So I did just that. Then, the Man half-shouted, "Hey!"... I turned around and looked at him. "You look like John Ellen from the Old Days." I knew he meant John Lennon, but I realized he was wasted so I decided to play a game: "Jack Ellen? ... Oh... You mean John Lemon." "Nah!" Looking to the Woman, "What's that mother-fuckers name? The Guy that was killed." She: "Yeah, it's Jack Lemon, right?" (Looking to me...) "Are you sure it isn't JOHN LENNON?" Both at once: "OH... YEAH..." He: "You look like that dude." I proceed to walk into the store singing (in an English voice) "Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play..." as I waltz into the store. We all laughed and had some fun at the expense of the Dead Man. Double Diamond Cheap-O cigarettes. $2.22 a pack This is what it says on the side: " Made in Bangladesh.

Salo, 120 Days of Sodom
A film that may mean nothing (beyond Repulsion) to most.
However, if you watch it, note the Surrealist paintings and the dialogue of the Patrons. Baudelaire, St. Paul, etc. etc. There are certain Crowley-ian undertones throughout the film.
The author of the thread is in a bit of a Pickle, but will try to contribute sooner rather than later.

While this doesn't seem to make sense or be related anyway, bear in mind, last night I had a dream the govt was taking a Census of sorts. Not the usual filling in a form and mailing it back, but being required to an appointment where you were subjected to questioning by a series of "administrators" who spoke with strange accents. They were not even US Citizens, but of the world. They took you into a room away from any other family member and asked questions and things you were supposed to do in front a panel of judges. It was as if these people were purposely testing your intelligence and responses to stupid questions or stupid things you were to do at their asking.
In my dream I realized that they were testing us to see if you thought inside their box, or outside and if you were peculiar in your responses, that you would be taken somewhere to be tested and observed.
How does that fit in this particular thread? Over the years being baited with particular groups and solo artists from different genres, how you responded to their music and how you lived your life because of the particular music you lived by. I thought it a peculiar thing to read this thread after having that dream last night.
I woke up feeling that I was being tested to see if I would give generic answers just to be released, or to respond to their questions by asking them questions.

The Castle from the Ending of "The Ninth Gate" Jimi Hendrix - Spanish Castle Magic The Rainbow Bridge is path from the Heart Chakra to the Head. The Goddess is a Rainbow. She encounters Love and the Rainbow shoots upward from her Heart like a Rocket and colours ejaculate from her. From the top of her Head. She comes in Colours. Hawkwind - Cover of "In Search of Space" (Master of the Universe is the most incredible song) In Search of Space is a heavy concept album. After Hawkwind released the album they traveled the world playing what would later be released as the "Space Ritual" live album Hawkwind - Cover of "Space Ritual" These are the two albums John Lydon credits as being responsible for English punk rock. For what it's worth. Hawkwind began in London's Ladbroke Grove area. Genesis P-Orridge, of Throbbing Gristle/Psychic T.V., was a member of a radical commune in the area, Transmedia Explorations. Most people ARE familiar with the UFO club, made famous by producers Joe Boyd and groups like Pink Floyd. But, there were weirder, more obscure, circles. There are tinges of the "Process Church" and embryonic forms of the "Skinheads". Ladbroke was the epicenter of the most radical of London's "Underground". Radical politically, socially, sexually, and philosophically. The people attracted to Ladbroke were not hippies. Lemmy in Hawkwind Lemmy, of Motorhead, before he was kicked out of Hawkwind. Lemmy said that the name "Motorhead" was inspired by two things. 1) Jim "Motorhead" Sherwood of The Mother's of Invention (Saxaphonist/Vocalist). 2) Motorhead was slang of Amphetamine, which is the reason Lemmy was kciked out of Hawkwind. Amphetamine was "Hitler's Drug". Let's forget Owsey Stanley began his drug manufacturing days with Amphetamine... Either way, the term could be interpreted different ways: A person that talks a lot. A person that enjoys Speed. Maybe both. Genesis P-Orridge describes his days in the Transmedia Exploration commune as unusual. A large group of people lived in a house in which all of the walls had been torn down, including the bathroom walls. There was a chest full of clothing which everyone shared, men and women. At any point you could be stopped and questioned (washing dishes, playing guitar, sitting in a chair, wiping your ass) "Why are you doing that the same way you did it yesterday?" The idea was to break out of natural patterns. Interviewer: "Why do you hate hippies?" John Lydon (Johnny Rotten, of the Sex Pistols): "Because they are complacent." Paul Cook, of the Sex Pistols, wearing the infamous "I Hate Pink Floyd" shirt Apparently, someone is still selling this shirt: '68 The Summer of Hate. The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle. Photo from the Nosebleed section on the Pink Floyd "The Wall" tour. Showing a massive Wall on stage with Nazi-type banners hanging from the rafters. It's almost like a warning... Pink Floyd - Meltdown (Montreal Spitting Incident 1977) Fucking Animals. Punk Rock existed for a reason. I like Pink Floyd (Cover of Ummagumma): People are paranoid, though. This: Becomes That: John Lydon SCREAMS that he is "AN Antichrist" (Not THE) yet according to some sources Pink Floyd are dedicated to Baphomet. "I am an Antichrist. I am an Anarchist..." Curious. And Curiouser still. Reflections and Projections to the Line of Constant Motion where Momentum is Exponential.

I studied John Cage and his concept of "Silence" before I gave a funk-all about Warhol.
To Abbreviate Cage: "There is no such thing as Creation." Warhol was the epitome of Cage's philosophy, BUT Warhol, unlike John Cage, was a a Pop-Capitalist."
David Bowie - Andy Warhol
"HOLE" as in "HOLE".
Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, in his memoir, "Searching For The Sound": "We played a show on the top of a building in New York (1968), and Andy Warhol showed up with his retinue. He was a Human Black Hole. Sucking all of the life from what was a otherwise beautiful night."

While this doesn't seem to make sense or be related anyway, bear in mind, last night I had a dream the govt was taking a Census of sorts. In my dream I realized that they were testing us to see if you thought inside their box, or outside and if you were peculiar in your responses, that you would be taken somewhere to be tested and observed. How does that fit in this particular thread? I woke up feeling that I was being tested to see if I would give generic answers just to be released, or to respond to their questions by asking them questions. Always, respond with a well-informed question. Snakefinger - Magic And Ecstacy I have solved this lame fucking mystery.

Timothy LEary has the nerve to call someone else a pathetic loser. Talk about being on a permanent acid trip...he was the poster child of acid testing.....and the results of being on acid for decades....TOAST
Not that Brian Wilson didn't have his issues, but Timothy Leary.....what a piece of work...
