ARTWORK: CHU
WORDS: Robert Anton Wilson and Steve ‘Fly Agaric 23’ Pratt
MUSIC: Steve Fly, Tim Egmond, Martin ‘Youth’ Glover, Rick Rasa, Hagbard Celine, Garaj Mahal.
PRODUCED BY: Mark Sampson and Steve Fly Pratt
MASTERED BY: Simon Reeves at Framework Studios, Birmingham
“Would
you be so kind as to grab me a coffee, it’s in the pot” he said.
“Sure”. I fetched a mug, which had a quote from Hannibal Lecter printed
on it, filled it with black coffee and set it down on the table,
sitting
opposite Bob. “Thanks, fly. So, you’re going to make a
recording
right?” he asked. “yeah, if that’s cool with you.” I unpacked
my
minidisc recorder, and set up the microphone on the table.
The
apartment reflected a humble man, with moderate furnishings, a couch,
two chairs, a television set, stereo, coffee table and a dresser
decorated in what looked to me like traditional Japanese artefacts.
There were framed pictures hanging up and ornaments that indicated this
really was Bob’s residence. On my way out I recall seeing a certificate
from a UFO convention, plus I’ll never forget the cute Loch Ness
monster
ornament laying out on top of the cable box, which at one point
during
the interview he politely asked me to straighten out for him.
We
had two smoke breaks out on the balcony, where i kissed the sky with a
specially rolled up bomber. Bob passed my offer due to already feeling
high as a mountain goat on his marijuana brownies, which he consumed
for
medical purposes to help relieve the pain from post polio syndrome.
It
would be fair to say we were both pretty high and cheerful. I went
the
whole nine yards and cracked open a four pack of guinness, which
was
probably a mistake due to the slight fogging of my memory caused by
the
alcohol.
Bob
talked and talked, weaving his unique prose to my unrehearsed
questions, turning them into delightful examples of his unique mind at
play. He mixed hilarious tales with some serious facts and produced his
unmistakable discordian dance of delicate metaphors. There were times
when my mouth opened and nothing came out, due to my processing what he
had previously said. I had to remain mindful not to interrupt or talk
over him, which i’m prone to do at times. There seems nothing worse to
me than an interviewer who can’t listen, and sings the eternal song of
“I”.

“Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes
into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the
unexpected. Find THE OTHERS” – Dr Timothy Leary
For those that know the significance of 23, no
explanation will be required. For those not familiar, worry not, it’s
all a big joke. Well.. in so far as everything is. So it’s a very serious joke, and 23 is very significant to us Discordians.
“But what is a Discordian?” you ask. As well you might. Your inquisitive nature may mean you’re already one of us.
We are philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists and clowns.
So that’s how we got here. What we don’t yet know is how YOU got here, but we are certain that synchronicity had everything to do with it…

Last Under The Sun - are recording a new album at Framework Studios, Birmingham. It's
taking ages. Don't worry, despite the constant interruptions we are
working on it.
"John
Sinclair - renegade poet, scholar and cultural revolutionary.....an
Archetype of the 1960's art, music and literary synthesis, still
kicking
with both feet on his trajectory for cultural transformation.
Mohawk
features ten tracks from his book of verse: always know: a
book
of monk.
Beatnik poems, great odes and personal reflections of
the
Be-Bop jazz
persuasion, all flowering together."
I want to pass on a message from Seth Faergolzia of Dufus.....
Seth Faergolzia (Dufus) from Rochester, New York here!! I’m excited to announce that my stellar new project, MULTIBIRD, will be touring Europe in July. I’ve been performing in Europe since 2001 when I first toured with Jeffrey Lewis and Cornershop. Ever since then, I’ve come back at least once a year with one of my projects (Dufus, Forest Creature, Faergolzia, Heck Yup)
and have performed at Green Man, End of the Road, Zappanale and Down
By
the River Festivals. I’ve played shows with such greats as Adam Green, Dan Deacon, Animal Collective, Regina Spektor, and the YeahYeahYeahs.
I’ve toured over 20 countries and put out over 20 albums! I’m just
finishing up a project called #100songs, which is a songwriting &
recording project released via subscription website. We will be
promoting this 4 album set and performing a “best of” from the #100songs
project.
