>>>THE READING OF THE EPISTLE: "VIRGIN QUEEN SLAVE TRADE"
ELIZABETH I reigned 17NOV1558-24MAR1603. ==1562: John Hawkins Became The First Englishman To "Run The Triangular [Slave] Trade To The Spanish Colonies In The Americas, And Making A Profit At Every Stop." Between 1562-1569: Hawkins, [His Brother] William, And [His Cousin] Francis Drake (1)Sailed From Plymouth To W.Africa; (2)Kidnapped W.Africans; (3)Sold Over 1,400 W.Africans To Spanish & Portuguese Slave Traders. Approximately 350 ADDITIONAL Kidnapped W.Africans Died At Sea. Uncounted Africans Died In W.Africa Itself Resisting Hawkins' Butchery. ==Ruthlessly, QUEEN ELIZABETH Launched Bankrupt Britain Into Monolithic Savagery; The Transatlantic Slave Trade; Competing With Portugal, Spain And The Holy Roman Empire. Slave Trading Infrastructured Elizabethan Gentry. Slave Trading Generated More Capital Than Plantations! ==Hawkins' "Massive Profits" Were So Staggering QUEEN ELIZABETH Granted Him A Special Coat Of Arms Fetishizing Africans. Hawkins' Family Crest Romanticized A [MUTILATED?] Rope-Bound Black Slave. ==Over 45 Years, QUEEN ELIZABETH Invested Ships, Money, "Supreme Governorship" Over British Slave Trading. ==Elevating Her Newly Revitalized, 16% Literate Realm, QUEEN ELIZABETH Ushered-In Anti-Black Socio-Religious-Political Narratives To Justify Mythic Colonial Economies Built On African Enslavement: SLAVE Labor. SLAVE LABOR: FREE LABOR! VIRGIN QUEEN SLAVE TRADE.

>>>THE READING OF THE EPISTLE.   "Charles Deslondes Crucified!"

From 08JAN1811-11JAN1811, In The French/Catholic Colony Of New Orleans' St. John The Baptist Parish, Black Slave Charles Deslondes Led Over 500 Blacks From The German Coast To New Orleans:  "[T]he Largest Act Of Armed Resistance Against Slavery In The History Of The United States."  //  Charles Deslondes Demanded Economic Independence And Acknowledgement Of "The Rights Of Man" Enjoyed By ALL White French Men But Denied To ALL Blacks. In 1811, Slaves, Free Blacks, And Gens De Couleur Outnumbered Whites  5:1. // RESULT: US Troops Intervened And Butchered At Least 95 Rebels. Rebel Leaders Were Sentenced To Death By Firing Squad.  THEN, Their Bodies Mutilated And "Chopped Into Little Pieces."  Mutilated BODY PARTS Were Then Paraded Through The Streets. Heads Were Nailed To Posts And Displayed Along The Mississippi River. This Display Of Heads Stretched Over 60 Miles As FRANCE Paid Slave Owners [$300] For The Body Of  Each Slave Killed Or Executed. //  As For Deslondes: FIRST: Both His Hands Were Hacked Off. He Was Then Shot In Both Thighs.  THEN He Was Shot In His Body.  His Body, Still Alive, Was Then Roasted In Burning Straw. The Following Year, On 30APR1812, Louisiana Became USAmerica's 18th State.

>>>THE READING OF THE EPISTLE:      = = = "Lamentations" = = =
The Book Of Lamentations combines elements of a funeral dirge for the loss of the city of Jerusalem,
and the "communal lament" pleading for the restoration of its people. It reflects the view, traceable
to Sumerian literature of 1,000 years earlier, that the destruction of the Holy City was a punishment
by God for the communal sin of its people:
...Wholesale devastation and slaughter engulfed kings, princes, elders, priests, prophets and commoners alike.
...Parents Eating Their Children.

Credited with the first translation of the Bible from Latin Vulgate into Middle English vernacular.  In 1395, Wycliffe's Bible and his radical political activism inspired his followers, pre-Reformation [1517-1648] "heretics" known as the Lollards, to publish "Twelve Conclusions Against Corruptions In The English Church."  ==  "The First Conclusion: // The State of The Church // When the Church of England began to dote in temporality after her stepmother, the great Church of Rome, and churches were slain by appropriation to diverse places. Faith, Hope, and Charity began for to flee out of our Church. For Pride with his sorry genealogy of deadly sins challengeth it by title of heritage.

>>>The Reading Of The Epistle:    Holy Friday / LAMENTATIONS
The Book Of Lamentations combines elements of a funeral dirge for the loss of the city of Jerusalem, and the "communal lament" pleading for the restoration of its people. It reflects the view, traceable to Sumerian literature of 1,000 years earlier, that the destruction of the Holy City was a punishment by God for the communal sin of its people:
...Wholesale devastation and slaughter engulfed kings, princes, elders, priests, prophets and commoners alike.
...Parents Eating Their Children. 

[https://thetorah.com/parents-eating-their-children-the-torahs-curse-and-its-undertones-in-medieval-interpretation/
...[Lev 26:29]    You shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.

...An elaborate system of ceremony and worship came to an end.

>>>THE READING OF THE EPISTLE: SEXISM NATURE NURTURE PROPERTY
Most Western language systems define, predict and empower domination. “Sexual patronage” systems of 16th & 17th Century England are well documented. From 1534, until the Present Day, France's economy DEPENDS upon brutal colonization, enslavement and militaristic looting, in Black, African and New World territories. In 1685, Louis XIV’s Code Noir “defined the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire, restricted the activities of free Negroes, forbade the exercise of any religion other than Roman Catholicism, and ordered all Jews out of France’s colonies.” Contrary to “traditional Jewish Law”, Black slaves (a) were not indentured servants; (b) had no expectations of manumission; (c) were, in fact, legally defined as PROPERTY: Bought, sold, raped, hanged, burned, buried alive or otherwise collapsed and rebuilt at ANY given religious, social, economic, sexual whim. Current USAmerican Black language, Black “lawlessness” and Black resilience reflect reactions against God’s own earthbound stranglehold.

1.      The Reading Of The Epistle: “JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CLITORAL ORGAN HARVESTING.”
=== I do not understand USAmerican apology. I do not understand love that surpasseth all understanding.
I do not understand breeding generations of deprived humans as violence-dependent, war-dependent,
ignorance-dependent investment CAPITAL / CAPITAL / CAPITAL for 1% of USAmerica’s population
heavily invested in weapons, prisons, pharmaceuticals and imperialist enslavement to 16 intelligence agencies.
===I understand Murder, Theft, Annihilation. I understand Redlining, 40 acres and a mule; and,
from the black hole in my Black [brOther’s] soul, the Rose of Jericho grows wild, Chicago SouthSide Skid Row!
I understand King Leopold’s Kongo. Leopold’s Chicago! Leopold’s Dutch hoe. Reparations! 90M French Francs
and 200,000 dead babies, Haiti paid Paris. 1791-1804: Runaway slaves: Port-Au-Prince payday for the USA CIA.
I understand JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CLITORAL ORGAN HARVESTING.
===ALL USAmerican Socio-Political-ECONOMIC systems depend upon a SILENT SLAVE class.
SURRENDER IN SILENCE!! SILENCE MY FIRST LANGUAGE!!
===Sexism is necessary for USAmerican two-party Jim Crow ammo. JUDEO-CHRISTIAN CLITORAL ORGAN
HARVESTING is an essential reward for Capitalism’s Resources Distribution/Quid Pro Quo.
Darwinian division of labor idealize slavery, cultural patriarchy, female political imprisonment:
God’s own golden slave cargo.
===Thus USAmerican Liberation requires that White males must FORCE Blacks >TO OPPRESS THEMSELVES,
> TO MUTILATE THEMSELVES, > TO ERADICATE THEMSELVES: SOCIALLY, POLITICALLY and ECONOMICALLY.
Likewise, White women were long ago sacrificed at the decadent altar of White male supremacist English Common Law;
to which MEDIEVAL English Common Law USA Church and State rattlesnake allegiance: Unable, unwilling, unfit to tackle the needs of New THINKING of New HUMANS in the New WORLD. Thus Endeth The Epistle.===

3.         NOW … there was a little problem with the titles of the pieces.  There were some students, and one faculty member, who felt that the titles were somehow derogatory in some manner, being that the word Nigger is in it.  These particular titles … the reason I use them is because … in fact … there’s a whole series of these pieces and they’re called … they can be called “The Nigger Series.”  Now, the reason I used that particular word is because for me it has … what I call a basic-ness about it.  That is to say I feel that in any case the first Niggers were, of course, Field Niggers. And upon that is really the basis of the American Economic system.  Without Field Niggers you wouldn’t really have such a great and grand economy; that we have.  So, that is what I call the FIRST and Great Nigger; Field Niggers.  And what I mean by Niggers is that thing which is Fundamental. That person or thing that ATTAINS to a Basic-ness; a Fundamental-ness, and eschews that thing which is superficial or … what can we say: Elegant.  ===  So a Nigger, for me, is that kind of thing which ATTAINS, himself or herself to the ground of anything, you see.  And that’s what I mean by Nigger.  So there are many Niggers.  There are many kinds of Niggers. There might be … there are, of course, 99 names of Allah; there are now 52 Niggers.  So, therefore, [--] we are playing two of these Niggers.  Crazy Nigger!  Evil Nigger!

INTRO    I AM AN ABOMINATION (Words:Mary Shelley/Noise:ONO)
              FRANKENSTEIN By Mary Shelley (Published 1818)
“I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on. My imagination, unbidden, possessed and guided me, gifting the successive images that arose in my mind with vividness far beyond the usual bounds of reverie. I saw -- with shut eyes, but acute mental vision, I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion. Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world. His success would terrify the artist; he would rush away from his odious handywork, horror-stricken. He would hope that, left to itself, the slight spark of life which he had communicated would fade; that this thing, which had received such imperfect animation, would subside into dead matter; and he might sleep in the belief that the silence of the grave would quench forever the transient existence of the hideous corpse which he had looked upon as the cradle of life. He sleeps; but he is awakened; he opens his eyes; behold the horrid thing stands at his bedside, opening his curtains, and looking on him with yellow, watery, but speculative eyes.”

=Opening #11: Sexism Nature Nurture Property // Most Western language systems
define, predict and empower domination. “Sexual patronage” systems of 17th Century
England are well documented. Meanwhile, in 1685, Louis XIV’s Code Noir
“defined the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire, restricted the activities
of free Negroes, forbade the exercise of any religion other than Roman Catholicism,
and ordered all Jews out of France’s colonies.” Contrary to “traditional Jewish Law”,
Black slaves (a) were not indentured servants; (b) had no expectations of manumission;
(c) were, in fact, legally defined as PROPERTY: Bought, sold, raped, hanged, burned,
buried alive or otherwise collapsed and rebuilt at any given religious, social, economic,
sexual whim. Current USAmerican Black language, “lawlessness” and resilience reflect
reactions against God’s own earthbound stranglehold.

=Reading Of The Epistle: “What Does Sexism Want?” Sexism wants what Racism wants.  “Sexism” entered the USAmerican lexicon in 1963. “Racism” entered the English lexicon in 1902. Racial assassination justified ovarian castration in Europe and in the New World. Capital fulfillment, competition and supremacy always justified post-orgasm anxiety: Feelings of forfeiture, completion and mutilation. // Mutilation elevates dependency; seeks it out in the name of West Progress. Of course, 19th Century New World ideas of Progress are couched in European ideas about New World Indigenous Peoples being “Wild Nature” waiting, as part of so many so-called “divine plans” to be discovered, to be tamed, to be eradicated by Evolutionists and Scientists like Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer. Like native peoples, all femaleness was also perceived as “Wild Nature” with both groups dependent upon White Male authority for identity, reflection and definition. USAmerican ideas objectified “Wild Nature” in attempts to deconstruct “Manifest Destiny.” Manifest Destiny promoted USAmerican invasion, expansion, murder and militarism throughout the American continents as both justified and inevitable; all in the name of Progress. Man/Science versus Nature. Civilized versus Savage. Naming as subjugation. Virginity as subjugation.  Ritualistic male and female circumcision as subjugation. Sex is mutilation.

Msg FM Mykele Deville. Forwarded by PMichael: SUN 13AUG17 @ 10:00 AM:
Hey Micheal. I really dont think i can make it today. I woke up with no voice and shivering with a temperature. I have some flu like symptoms and its the start of it and i may be contagious. Ive been running myself ragged over the last couple of weeks and my health is slowly deteriorating because of it. I do not think its wise for me to risk growing sicker or making others sicker around me right now. I know time is precious and wed only have one other practice if i cant make it today but ive gotten word that the 20th wont work for me anymore either. A video of mine was picked up and that day id have to shoot for 12 hours to make it happen. I am so sorry to do this but I think it would be best if I removed myself from this bill with hopes that we can work together in the future. I think too many things are eating my time energy and health right now to fully give myself over to this collaboration the way I want to. I apologize for the timing of this. I know its shitty for this to happen this close to the performance but I hope you all can still salvage the set. It really pains me to make this choice because i love you all and it would be a dream.to work with yall. But in the interest of my health, time, my voice, and whats best for the show this is the best choice i can make. I wish you all luck and again my apologies for this.

I. The Technitronic Widowmakers DragON © 1977 By travis
      Black, therewithal without moonbeam gazed I
      Upon some blazing Countenance set free
      Entranced here held full high a cashmere sky
      Unstirred, invoked. Before her there a tree
      Sprang forth. Old Age bemoaned (in bloom)
      Her fruit: Truth: Sudden shadowplay in dream
      No more! Forlorn? I know not, only doom
     
[[That veils compel Nirvana, graven, gleam
      Perchance this Dragon’s vanity, God’s Tongue.
      Illumined like his father’s sad delight,
      A martyred Verse, a ruthless, silv’ry night
      Indulged ‘til, limpid, Truth had fast too long;]]
      As Vespers eve widows followed here on.
      So strong an omen yet; too weak to run.

"MOUTH OF DARKNESS"     
      ABOUT MOUTH OF DARKNESS:
“La Bouche d’ombre”/Mouth Of Darkness was Arthur Rimbaud’s (20OCT1854-10NOV1891)
name for his overbearing mother.
      Thanks to European Colonialism, French was the second most popular language amongst
Black people at the end of the 20th Century.
      From 1791-1804 Haitian Blacks fought for Independence from French Bondage.
In 1804, Haiti Won the War against Napoleon. Nevertheless, the World’s Strongest Military
Powers Forced HAITI To PAY FRANCE a Century Of Reparations; Devastating the Haitian
Economy to the present day.
      From 1844-1850 Rimbaud’s father fought in the “Conquest Of [Black] Algeria.”
      From 1880-1891, Arthur Rimbaud traded in coffee, firearms and Black flesh in [Black]
                Ethiopia including victims referred to as his “NIGGER QUEEN.”
      This performance ends on 16JAN1980! BLACK Classical Composer, Pianist, Vocalist,
Choreographer and Dancer, Julius Eastman (27AUG1940-28MAY1990), was caused to
justify using “NIGGER” at the World Premiere of his work “Evil Nigger” at my alma mater,
Northwestern University/Pick-Staiger Auditorium. I was present.
      Fast Forward: In 1979, and again in 2015, the title of my work “THE NIGGER QUEEN”
      was censored.

                  [Rebecca can pre-record her spoken words and do voices along with them or just read

JUSTINE  //  or ‘Good Conduct Well Chastised’ by Donatien-Alphonse-Francois de Sade
     Band in place and silent          Narrator in Chair in front of band
     Show opens with sound of Gong

     =travis speaks:
“TO MY DEAR FRIEND......

O thou my friend! The prosperity of Crime is like unto the lightning, whose traitorous brilliancies
embellish the atmosphere but for an instant, in order to hurl into death's very depths the luckless
one they have dazzled= it is only Vice that trembles when Vice is found out, and cries scandal
immediately it is attacked.”
=ZADA [Cymbals Crash // Maracas // Slide guitar // Trombone syncopated // Harmonium wheezes]

ZADA!  Every stormy morning.   Thirteen or so lay rusted now.   Some wear the Red Cross.  
(Eight Days Later)   ZADA, convicted, again crosses Eldorado Oceans at 2100h.   
Get it over with befo’  cockcrow.
(What’s missing?)   One axe each and the son of White Boy: 

                  [GONG SOUNDS - BAND GOES SILENT]
Thick pink lips retch, retch, retch, thru the empty weeping veneer.  
Then escapes to the rape of the lock 

ZADA!   //   HIALEAH!   Who goes there?   HIALEAH!   
Twelve strong  Arms ; no answer.
=NARRATOR:
Juliette had just attained her twentieth year when a certain === gentleman out of Anjou, about
forty years of age, became so captivated by her he resolved to bestow his name upon her;
he awarded her an income of twelve thousand pounds and assured her of the rest of his fortune
were he to be the first to die; he gave her, as well, a house, servants, lackeys, and the sort of mundane
consideration which, in the space of two or three years, succeeded in causing her beginnings to be forgot.

=ZEK [Tribal beats // Low tones from all // Gong sounds: band is silent]

The men are gone.   Gone to the mountain.   ZEK.   ZEK, the king, home to the hourglass.
Back  to the belly.   Back to the Army!   Dose  upon  dose.  //  Dose upon dose.   
ZEK!  The men are gone.  It’s over.  The Circus is ended now!    
And in the Army, seeds of my sincerity fuel the algae.  
=NARRATOR:  
I had about a woman, probably forty years old, as celebrated for her beauty as for the variety and number
of her villainies; she was called Dubois  ===  on the eve of paying the capital penalty, but as to the exact
form of it the judges were yet mightily perplexed: having rendered herself guilty of every imaginable crime,
they found themselves virtually obliged to invent a new torture for her, or to expose her to one whence we
ordinarily exempt our sex. This woman had become interested in me, criminally interested without doubt,
since the basis of her feelings, as I learned afterward, was her extreme desire to make a proselyte of me.

 = = = = = = = = = = = =
=ZORIANA AMALGAMATA [Tapes // Vocal sounds // Bells // GONG sounds]
ZORIANA.    AMALGAMATA.   (3X)

She moves with the sun.    ZEK would bury her king now give up the young.  
[NARRATOR Moves Forward:] 
The third bade me mount upon and straddle two somewhat separated chairs and, seating himself betwixt them,
excited by Dubois, lying in his arms, he had me bend until his mouth was directly below the temple of Nature;
never will you imagine, Madame, what this obscene mortal took it into his head to do; willy-nilly, I was obliged
to satisfy his every need.... Just Heaven! what man, no matter how depraved, can taste an instant of pleasure
in such things....I did what he wished, inundated him, and my complete submission procured this foul man an
intoxication of which he was incapable without this infamy. The fourth attached strings to all parts of me to
which it was possible to tie them, he held the ends in his hands and sat down seven or eight feet from my body;
Dubois' touches and kisses excited him prodigiously; I was standing erect: 'twas by sharp tugs now on this
string, now on some other that the savage irritated his pleasures; I swayed, I lost balance again and again,
he flew into an ecstasy each time tottered; finally, he pulled all the cords at once, I fell to the floor in front
of him: such was his design: and my fore-head, my breast, my cheeks received the proofs of a delirium he
owed to none but this mania. That is what I suffered, Madame  ===   The following day we fell hard by
Louvres, sleeping under haystacks; I felt in need of Dubois' support and wanted to pass the night by her side;
but it seemed she had planned to employ it otherwise than protecting my virtue from the attacks I dreaded;
three of the thieves surrounded her and before my very eyes the abominable creature gave herself to all three
simultaneously. The fourth approached me; it was the captain. "Lovely Therese," said he, "I hope you shall not
refuse me at least the pleasure of spending the night with you?" and as he perceive my extreme unwillingness,
"fear not," he went on; "we'll have a chat together, and I will attempt nothing without your consent. "O Therese,"
cried he, folding me in his arms, " 'tis all foolishness, don't you know, to be so pretentious with us. Why are you
concerned to guard your purity in our midst? Even were we to agree to respect it, could it be compatible with the
interests of the band….”

Who owns the stone in your heart
I told the gypsy JuJu you are wrong    I work for love ‘cause PawPaw turn to stone

John:
Missed you at The Bijou Theatre & Sex Club. The Oldest Gay Porn Theatre In The U.S.
Indeed it was a researcher’s dream. A brief description of the ONO performance might
hint at ideas for your presentation!
===INTRODUCED by The Bijou Theatre Host. A beautiful, 6’2" boy dressed to the teeth,
wearing a black tux complete with 100% white cotton shirt and hand-tied black bow tie!
Lights OUT!
===Noise from P.Michael/Beats and Drone & from Brett Naucke/Synthesizer.
===Flood lights from large yellow flash lamps held by ONO members seated in the audience.
Lights first surveille the audience members, seated in darkness, except for the red running lights
on the floor and along the ceiling.
Flood lights then surveille travis, entering through the rear, behind the audience via the single aisle.
===Costuming: Black, leather, floor length coat, body-hugging gathers at the waist but flaring into a, billowy skirt.
White gloves. White panty hose masking hair, head and face. Red/Black patent leather GBX/London “Creepers.”
Traditional white cotton shirt; formal bow tie.
WORDS: “Love is not all. It is not meat, or drink. Nor slumber. Nor a roof against the rain.
Nor yet a floating spar to men that rise and sink and rise and sink again….” (REPEATED)
Source: Edna St. Vincent Millay
      Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink//Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
      Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink//And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
      Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath,//Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone;
      Yet many a man is making friends with death//Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
      It well may be that in a difficult hour,//Pinned down by pain and moaning for release,
      Or nagged by want past resolution's power,//I might be driven to sell your love for peace,
      Or trade the memory of this night for food.//It well may be. I do not think I would.
Flood lights illuminate the speaker’s processional to the stage.
ON STAGE:
Vintage Pornography begins. Films play for the duration of the ONO performance!
“Love Letters” (Ketty Lester Version) Accomp: P.Michael/Rebecca/Brett. Rest of ONO are still in Audience!
      Love letters straight from your heart
      Keep us so near while apart
      I'm not alone in the night
      When I can have all the love you write
      I memorize ev'ry line
      I kiss the name that you sign
      And darlin, then I read again right from the start
      Love letters straight from your heart

NOISE Builds into heavy riffs of “Billy The Kid.”

"Billy The Kid" © 1977-78 by travis. //Published: Modern Images #41]
2013 version: Words: travis.djPTSD/NOISE:ONO
      Billy The Kid In Silver City Apartment 7//Hot blood dripping dripping passion
      Saffron Mythra; mistress with many feet//Saffron prayer. Drifting tired.
      Billy The Kid. Mistress With Many Feet.
      Legs wide open//Mummy mother welcomes me
      Screaming eyes to Ajna//Point the light of Heaven.
      Billy The Kid. Mistress With Many Feet.
      Hoofbeats. .88[CALIBRE] dim lit spaces//Consecrate my love’s host.
      Fine misty sweet air songs//Reveal Haloes of fresh new blood.
===Costuming/travis: Black leather full-length coat disappears, revealing
White silk panties worn over tights. White gloves.
===NOISE transitions into the strong beats backing “Calvin."
CALVIN © 2012 Words:travis/NOISE:ONO
      Calvin: I know that you can never love me//Soon you will be dead.
      Lash out your Love of God refrain for me//Soon you will be dead.
      Our little Faith is now 16//Screams of terrain & fearful camouflage
      She brings down the Saints & Then all eternity//Gods & Demons:
      Sentimental Predetermination
      Silent thickets inside my head//Soon you will be dead (3X)
      II. When did the firelight leave your eye//Sunrise Sunset waft across your bed
      Sky of blue blood Flesh like lead//Soon you will be dead
      Calvin: I know that you can never love me//Soon you will be dead. (REPEAT)
=As the last lines of “Calvin" devolved into a chant/drone, beats announced “Heroin.”
===Costuming/travis: Full-length POLY/Juno frock featuring three layers of
off-white silk organza over a layer of white tulle.
HEROIN (Lou Reed) Updated to reflect 1963-69/djPTSD experience:
HEROIN Velvet Underground
I don't know just where I'm going//But I'm goin' to try for the kingdom if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man//When I put a spike into my vein
Then I tell you things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess I just don't know (2X)
I have made big decision//I'm goin' to try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow//When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
You can't help me not you guys & All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a fuckin walk//LORD/Lord/Lord!!! I guess I just don't know
===Costuming/travis: RAGGEDY!/Broken full-length frock with layers-upon-layer of pink silk!
[I was born a thousand years ago
I have sailed. I’ve sailed the darkened seas//On a great big clipper ship
Aboard USS America (CVA66)//1965 to1969 //Going from this land
here to that//I still wear my sailor's suit and cap]
Away from the big city//Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils in this town//And of himself and those around//I guess I just don't know.
Heroin, be the death of me//Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainer to my vein//Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
When the smack begins to flow: I really don't care no mo
About all the Jim-Jims in this town//And everybody putting everybody else down
And all of the politicians makin' crazy sounds//All the dead bodies piled up in mounds
All the dead bodies piled up in mounds//All the dead bodies piled up in mounds//All the dead bodies . [REPEAT/REPEAT/REPEAT]
Now, that heroin is in my blood//And the blood is in my head//I thank God that I'm good as dead
I thank your God that I'm not aware//And thank God that I just don't care
Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!Heroin!
At the end of the ONO performance, the on-screen characters exploded in a cum-drenched climax.
Audience were stunned. They thought we planned it! We didn’t even know what would be screened.
(NOTE: I glimpsed the screen only once. Made me horny. I was stage horny already from fabulous fabrics.)
P.Michael gave the lovely, and very beautiful women in charge (and JB) carte blanche to screen
their favorite ‘70s-‘80s adult sex scenes. They did well. Throughout the show there was a very
mysterious synchronicity ’twixt words/Noise and visual imagery. I am now inundated with new FB Friends.

Windy City Rock returns for another fundraiser, this time for Intuit:
The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. Intuit is a member-supported and
donation-funded organization dedicated to "presenting self-taught and
outsider art — with world class exhibitions; resources for scholars and students;
a permanent collection with holdings of more than 1,100 works of art...
and educational programming for people of all interest levels and backgrounds."

CROWN LARKS got its start in a dank Chicago basement in late 2012.
Saxophone, guitar, clarinet, voices, noises, fuzzed out space organ and electric piano caravan
form volume hypnosis, feedback death rattles, psychedelicate chamber music space lullabies
and damage control against drums channeling grooves from motorik to Motown to Mitch Mitchell.
Comprised of players from Chicago’s experimental and metal scenes, MAKO SICA create beautifully
textured songs that walk along the border of experimentation while never losing themselves to
mindless abstraction.
DJPTSD is the solo project of ONO's TRAVIS TRAVIS, and if you're down with the kind of sonic
mindfuckery his legendary underground punk band has rustled up over the last thirty years,
then his bizarro noise and spoken-word performance here tonight will surely be titillating.
Majestic folky MUYASSAR KURDI, aka THE HUMMINBIRD, brings the freaky and psychedelic out tonight
with her unique blend of spiritual, backwoods singer-songwriter tuneage that’s all acid-trip meets vision quest.
Be sure and check out KURDI's newest solo release, Beyond the Orchard.

QUOTE:
TOUPEE return to our stage tonight to for the first time since
that bonkers OOZING WOUND record release in October.
Having become one of our favorite up-and-coming local bands
this year, the four-piece released their debut LP in January,
a collection of battered and bruised punk rock, out on Rotted Tooth.
Raw, noisy and, at times, dangerous, TOUPEE are a treat live – a treat
wrapped in barbed wire ready to explode the instant it touches your lips.
It's the return of PLASTIC CRIMEWAVE SOUND! A local space-punk trio
who've graced our stage numerous times, this STEVE KRAKOW-fronted
beast last played the Bottle opening for the legendary ROCKET FROM
THE TOMBS way back in December 2011. Tonight they're celebrating the
release of their newest record, out on Priority Male, so be sure and pick up
a copy while you're here. Legends of the Chicago underground,
ONO make their triumphant return to the Bottle tonight and are sure to wow
all in attendance like they have before. They've remained outsiders in a
sea of outsiders, and if you've seen em before you know what to expect:
sparse electronic beats, saxophone skronk, theatrical vocals and oddball
bass riffs. ONO are heroes to many and they will never die.
Minimal synth songstress MATCHESS, aka WHITNEY JOHNSON from
VERMA and E+, opens the show with a set of sparse rhythms, synthetic melodies,
squealing guitar lines and heavily-affected vocals that combine to create an
alien, futuristic sound.
This is a show for the ages - absolutely do not miss it, kids. UNQUOTE

Mary Shelley / FRANKENSTEIN
“I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at,
and kicked, and trampled on.
My imagination, unbidden, possessed and guided me, gifting the successive images
that arose in my mind with vividness far beyond the usual bounds of reverie.
I saw -- with shut eyes, but acute mental vision,
I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together.
I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some
powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion.
Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour
to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.
His success would terrify the artist; he would rush away from his odious handywork,
horror-stricken.
He would hope that, left to itself, the slight spark of life which he had communicated
would fade; that this thing, which had received such imperfect animation, would subside
into dead matter; and he might sleep in the belief that the silence of the grave would
quench forever the transient existence of the hideous corpse which he had looked upon
as the cradle of life.
He sleeps; but he is awakened; he opens his eyes;
behold the horrid thing stands at his bedside, opening his curtains, and looking on him
with yellow, watery, but speculative eyes.”

NOTE:  
      ONO Performance Abruptly Terminated By University Police Just After Midnight! (0020?)
      Show began 1.5 hrs late due to Storms. Rain and wind and weather.
      "Rains of biblical proportions." Car crashes. Pedestrians running for shelter.
      Branches upon cars. Impassable viaducts. Motorists stranded therein. Flooding on
      Lake Shore Drive and on lesser roadways. Near-zero visibility. Cars on curbs; drivers
      unable to determine roadway. Hydroplaning. From 1900 - 2100, continuous rain.
      The HIVE, which "never had flooding," suddenly! and dramatically! had nearly 2" of
      flood water. Everyone carried mops, buckets, towels, cardboard; moved equipment;
      etc. ONO fans from North Side representing! Ben Billingsley and entourage!
      Just before 2230, first band played. ONO, headline act, played full tilt to a full basement
      when University Police closed down the venue "or $500 fine."

*    GWENN-AEL-LYNN   ON   HYBRIDITY
      The six "Scents" presented in "ONO   BLACKPOWER.MOV"  stem from a
body of sonic work, created by travis (NOV12 - JAN13) at the request of
Gwenn-Ael-Lynn's  HYBRIDITY: "Creolization" project of 2009 - 2013.
For this project, Gwenn approached a number of artists to compose
sonics to support a series of Scents.
Gwenn-Ael-Lynn's Description of his project:
     QUOTE
In 2009 and 2010 I met, and engaged Chicago residents who identify
as hybrid, and asked them to relate their experience to scents.
In other words, community members who are mixed race, mixed culture,
transgender, bi-lingual or tri-lingual, and especially people who, through
personal experience, have come up with their own definition of hybridity.
If you are curious about this notion of hyrbidity (or creolization as I prefer
to call it) you are welcome to read the beginning of this online interview,
which goes more in depth about this experience:

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le cœur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'amour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs cœurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
D'un ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas.

Do not leave me now
We must just forget
Yes, we can forget
All that’s flown beyond
Let’s forget the time
The misunderstands
And the wasted time
To find out how
To forget these hours
Which sometimes kill
The blows of why,
A heart full of joy.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now

I offer you
Pearls of rain
Coming from the lands
Where it never rains
I will cross the world
Till after my death
To cover your bosom
With gold and light
I will make a kingdom
where love will be king
Where love will be the law
Where you will be queen
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now

Do not leave me now,
Will invent for you
The insane words
That you’ll understand
And I will tell you
Of these lovers who
Were seen twice
With their hearts in blaze
I will say in detail
The story of this king
Dead, from having not
Encountered you.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now

One often recalls
Flames light anew
From an old volcano
Thought to be too old.
It appears that
The scorched fields
Can give more corn
Than the best of springs.
And when evening comes
In this blazing sky
The red and the night
Marry nevermore.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now

Do not leave me now
I will cry no more
I will talk no more
Will hide somehow
Just to look at you
Dance and smile
And to hear you
Sing and then laugh
Let me be for you
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now

Exhibition Title:                  ONO     For   KARINA NATIS
                                          
                                          LYMPHOMANIA II

DUST BOWL
3214 West Augusta/CHGO

            https://www.facebook.com/events/265700410219147/
“Chances are, you've been in a photograph by Karina Natis.
You might not know it. You might not know her. You might be
a flailing limb, a shock of falling hair, drowned in a swath of light,
capsized in a pool of sweat, blood, or beer. But you're there.

In June, Karina was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's B-cell Lymphoma,
manifesting as a six-inch tumor between her left lung and heart.
After 18 weeks of chemotherapy, her tumor has all but disappeared,
and a final month of radiation treatment will hopefully cure her for good.

Like so many thousands of people in this country and many of us in
the underground music community, Karina is uninsured, and the cost
of the chemotherapy alone extends into the tens of thousands of dollars,
not to mention the numerous surgical procedures needed for access to
the tumor site and the weeks spent recovering in-hospital.

We're thrilled to announce that some wonderful people
(who also happen to be fantastic musicians) have stepped forward
to donate their time and talent in an effort to help stem the flow
of the enormous cost of Karina's treatment. We invite you to join them
in giving back to Karina, who has shared so much of her artistic gift
with us and the Chicago DIY community at large. An incredible
audio-visual lineup has come into being, bringing musicians and
artists from all corners of Chicago together to make
sound and light in celebration.
For more information about Karina's photography,
please visit www.karinanatis.com

I work for love ‘cause PawPaw turn to stone
You recall Oshun brawls in the dark
Paradise Lost picked apart; BUT overhead
Lovers I can see through and shed

KATE CINCINNATI © 25APR82 Words travis/Noise ONO

CONTEXT:
Written at Artist-In-Residence; 6165 N. Winthrop.  Kate, first tenant at 6165.  Deeply Catholic. 
Archbishop John Patrick Cardinal Cody (24DEC07 – 25APR82) lay dead.  Huge media sex scandal. 
Very racist, Kate was also convinced I was queer.  Attacked me with her umbrella, cane and
broken mirror; screaming, spitting in my face, as I entered AIR. 
[Cody was embroiled in a scandal involving power, money and Helen Dolan Wilson.  
Cody:  St. Louis native.  Bishop of Kansas City-Saint Joseph (1956–61),
Archbishop of New Orleans (1964-5).  Archbishop of Chicago (1965–82).
He was created a cardinal in 1967.  On 28APR82 I waited two+ very cold hours in the queue
at Holy Name Cathedral to view Cody’s remains w/pageantry. 
Soon afterward, Cody’s hat was elevated to the groin of Holy Name Cathedral.

KATE CINCINNATI © 25APR82 Words travis/Noise ONO
==I Am Fed.  (Were she Artemis!  Uptown stood still.)
A loam amid fed vague decorum
Or Helen’s echo far, far afield.
Wanton laughter.  Agglutinated liver.  Kate Cincinnati.

==I Am Shot And Dead. 
(O!  But today [Chicago’s Cardinal] Cody lay dead.)
Magnificat stole his loyal passionate trigger.
This old woman whipt me:  “You shameless Nigger!”
Jesuit blood on Maria’s unsullied bed.  Kate Cincinnati.

==I Am Shown To Saul.  (Sunday.  Early Morning.)
Maria, who cannot climb, is elevated.  [Assumpted.]
Right or wrong.  !Play Me A Sorrowful Song, Paraplegic!

   Paraplegic.  I’m in the mood for you.
   Why rest here, man you’re [Ju-Ju]
   My ghost outstripped, blueblood; backslider;
   Parallelogram diffused.  This I’ll give to you. 
   I come for food.

Let them expose me to the little sparrow;
Let them expose me to the sexton and to the cannibal.
Expose me to the paraplegic!  Faint!  Falling in Division!
Let the Black Friars bellow, remote amid the hubbub
Like a dream. 
Some men are ornaments.  All men begin as women.
Like a dream.  Arrivez de toujours.
Never again glean these steep rooms and rare rummage.
I come for food.       Kate?  Kate Cincinnati?

==I Beg To Crawl.
Fifty oriental gringos slept.
Taint her mummial harangue.
Blind whitecaps lay quivering.
Quivering loins upon Mundelein’s grave.
Ah, but were Maria clever Artemis. 
Were she Artemis!
Or a mongrel’s vowel:  Venison so unjustly modern.
!To Be Beat.  But Not To Die!  Kate Cincinnati!

==The Ideal Falls.  (Now Eat!)
Christ child took to [Cardinal] Cody instead.
Made RED his high hat.
Not John Paul (Publican),
Who, for you, Catherine, once wed.  Now eat!
But in Edgewater night = A second light might fall!
Flee then!  I Fled!  Leavened bread to Saul.
She beckoned withal ugly fits.  Philos!  Beheaded!
Beheaded!  Sloshing jowls.  Kate Cincinnati!
Running her red tongue in and out my mouth.

            From Wikipedia:

            The Shanghai Gesture is a 1941 American United Artists film noir starring
            Gene Tierney and Walter Huston, with Victor Mature and Ona Munson.
            It was adapted for the screen by Josef von Sternberg, based on the play
            by John Colton, produced by Arnold Pressburger for United Artists, and
            directed by von Sternberg. This early film noir explores the lives and
            secret pasts of the main characters, played out in a luxurious casino
            owned by "Mother" Gin Sling.
            Keye Luke painted the mural that is displayed in the casino. . . .
            PLOT
            Doctor Omar (Victor Mature) bribes the Shanghai police to not jail broke
            American showgirl Dixie Pomeroy (Phyllis Brooks); he invites her to seek a
            job at the casino owned by Dragon-lady "Mother" Gin Sling (Ona Munson),
            his boss. In the casino, Omar attracts the attention of a beautiful, privileged
            young woman (Gene Tierney), fresh from a European finishing school.
            She is out for some excitement. When asked, she gives her name as
           "Poppy" Smith. Meanwhile, Gin Sling is informed that she must move her
            establishment to the much less desirable Chinese sector. She is given five or six
            weeks, until Chinese New Year, to comply. Gin Sling is confident that she can
            thwart this threat to her livelihood, and orders her minions to find out everything
            they can about the man behind it, Englishman Sir Guy Charteris (Walter Huston),
            a wealthy entrepreneur who has purchased a large area of Shanghai.
            Dixie proves to be an unexpected source of information; Charteris had taken her
            out to dinner a number of times, before dumping her to avoid her meeting his
            newly arrived daughter: Poppy, whose real name is Victoria Charteris. From Dixie's
            description, Gin Sling realizes Charteris is someone from her past. Meanwhile,
            Poppy falls in love with Omar and becomes addicted to gambling.
            Though the spoiled woman is openly contemptuous of the casino owner, Gin Sling
            allows her credit to cover her ever growing losses. Gin Sling invites Charteris and
            other important dignitaries to a Chinese New Year dinner party. Charteris at first
            declines, but then curiosity gets the better of him. At the dinner, she exposes his
            disgraceful past. Charteris, then calling himself Victor Dawson, had married her.
            One day, he abandoned her, taking her father's money and their daughter, leaving her
            destitute and alone. Forced to do whatever she had to in order to survive, she
            wandered from place to place, until she reached Shanghai. There, Percival Hower
            had faith in her and backed her financially, allowing her to work her way up to her
            current position. To cap off her revenge, she has Victoria brought in. Victoria openly
            flaunts her attraction to Omar, a dinner guest. Charteris drags his wayward daughter
            out, but she defies him and goes back inside. When he tries to retrieve her, he is
            confronted by Gin Sling. He then reveals that Victoria is Gin Sling's own daughter.
            Gin Sling tries to talk to Victoria, telling her she is her mother, but when the young
            woman continues insulting her, Gin Sling grabs a pistol and shoots her dead.
            She then remarks to Hower that this is something she cannot bribe her way out of.

      (Machine sounds …..Then LAP STEEL growl sustained)

      Mary Shelley / FRANKENSTEIN
            “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at,
            and kicked, and trampled on.
            My imagination, unbidden, possessed and guided me, gifting the successive images
            that arose in my mind with a vividness far beyond the usual bounds of reverie.
            I saw -- with shut eyes, but acute mental vision,
            I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together.
            I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some
            powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion.
            Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour
            to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world.
            His success would terrify the artist; he would rush away from his odious handywork,
            horror-stricken.
            He would hope that, left to itself, the slight spark of life which he had communicated
            would fade; that this thing, which had received such imperfect animation, would subside
            into dead matter; and he might sleep in the belief that the silence of the grave would
            quench for ever the transient existence of the hideous corpse which he had looked upon
            as the cradle of life.
            He sleeps; but he is awakened; he opens his eyes;
            behold the horrid thing stands at his bedside, opening his curtains, and looking on him
            with yellow, watery, but speculative eyes.”

                 Ursula stood aside watching the living man stare at the frozen face of the dead man.
                 Both faces were unmoved and unmoving. The candle-flames flickered in the frozen air,
                 in the intense silence. `Haven't you seen enough?' she said.    
                 He got up. `It's a bitter thing to me,' he said. `What -- that he's dead?' she said.
                 His eyes just met hers. He did not answer. `You've got me,' she said.
                 He smiled and kissed her. `If I die,' he said, `you'll know I haven't left you.'
                 `And me?' she cried. `And you won't have left me,' he said.
                 `We shan't have any need to despair, in death.' She took hold of his hand.
                 `But need you despair over Gerald?' she said. `Yes,' he answered.

                 `You can't have two kinds of love. Why should you!'
                 It seems as if I can't,' he said. `Yet I wanted it.'
                 `You can't have it, because it's false, impossible,' she said.
                 `I don't believe that,' he answered.

                    SONG TO THE SIREN by Tim Buckley/This Mortal Coil
                    On the floating, shapeless oceans I did all my best to smile
                    til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes.
                    And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me; Let me enfold you."
                    Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
                         Did I dream you dreamed about me?
                         Were you here when I was full sail?
                         Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
                    For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
                    Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
                    I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
                    I'm as riddled as the tide.
                    Should I stand amid the breakers?
                    Or shall I lie with death my bride?
                    Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."

                    "Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

      BURNING OF THE MIDNIGHT LAMP  By JimiHendrix
                 ==The morning is dead and the day is too
                There's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon
                All my loneliness I have felt today
                It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away
                And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, alone
                ==Now the smiling portrait of you
                Is still hanging on my frowning wall
                It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me too much at all
                It's just the ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see
                That forgotten earring laying on the floor
                Facing coldly towards the door
                And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone
                                        LONELINESS IS SUCH A DRAG!
                 ==So here I sit to face that same old fireplace
                Getting ready for the same old explosion
                Going through my mind
                And soon enough the time will tell
                About the circus in the wishing well
                And someone who will buy and sell for me
                Someone who will toll my bell
                And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone


                   GOIN DOWN SLOW (1941) By James Burke Oden
                I have had my fun, if I don't get well no mo
                My health is failing me, and I'm going down slow
                Please write my mother, tell her 'bout the shape I'm in
                Tell her to pray for me, forgive me for my sin


                   COSMONAUT By DaWei Wang

                Brave New World. Olympian big shot
                Got no time for me. Got no time for me.

                   MUSIC V. NOISE   By Jesse Thomas
                What are all these sounds I'm hearing these days?
                We used to make so much distinction between
                [the music and the noise, &] (4x)
                We used to make some kind of distinction
                Between all the sounds we were hearing
                                Are you impossible or are you just like me
                                All these complaints the same they claim its too easy
                                Want you to discover me before we go to sleep
                                I'll mix a daiquiri wash down amphetamine
                                She's making tuna fish I'm not allowed to eat
                                The distance from her almost feels like a relief
                I share the darkness she expresses disbelief
                & everything's so funny in the belly of the beast
                [Ha Ha In the belly of the beast] (3x)
                                *These kids man, they're gonna be the death of me
                                Wanna keep me out late on a school night
                                Make me feel like I've messed myself up*
                                                That's Some Flavor (4x)
                                **Sick of breathing so he sucks a cigarette
                                the smoke reminds him of the steam from Christine's breath
                                16 not one day better but I heard that girl's the best
                                 Saved a space and now an empty place is all you've got left
                                You can read the signs if you know they're there
                                I touch my face she touches her hair
                                 Cover your mouth caught your stare
                                It's a pantomime if you can read the signs**
                We used to make some kind of distinction
                The noise on one side
                The music on the other side
                We used to make some distinction for everybody
                We don't need labels like this
                Noise & music
                WE never needed them
                Not for us or them, Never

                JUSTINE//or ‘Good Conduct Well Chastised’//by//Donatien-Alphonse-Francois de Sade
                 Jesse and travis electronic intro
                 Travis speaks:                 TO MY DEAR FRIEND...... O thou my friend!
                 The prosperity of Crime is like unto the lightning, whose traitorous brilliancies
                 embellish the atmosphere but for an instant, in order to hurl into death's very depths
                 the luckless one they have dazzled. === it is only Vice that trembles when Vice is found out,
                 and cries scandal immediately it is attacked.
                 NARRATOR Enters:                 Narrator / piano
                 Juliette had just attained her twentieth year when a certain === gentleman out of Anjou,
                 about forty years of age, became so captivated by her he resolved to bestow his name upon her;
                 he awarded her an income of twelve thousand pounds and assured her of the rest of his fortune
                 were he to be the first to die; he gave her, as well, a house, servants, lackeys, and the sort of
                 mundane consideration which, in the space of two or three years, succeeded in causing her
                 beginnings to be forgot. = = = = = = = = = = = =

                 NARRATOR / piano:
                 I had about me a woman, probably forty years old, as celebrated for her beauty as for the variety
                 and number of her villainies; she was called Dubois === on the eve of paying the capital penalty,
                 but as to the exact form of it the judges were yet mightily perplexed: having rendered herself
                 guilty of every imaginable crime, they found themselves virtually obliged to invent a new torture
                 for her, or to expose her to one whence we ordinarily exempt our sex.
                 This woman had become interested in me, criminally interested without doubt,
                 since the basis of her feelings, as I learned afterward, was her extreme desire
                 to make a proselyte of me. = = = = = = = = = = = =
                 NARRATOR moves back
                 TRAVIS moves forward and begins to recite:
                 TECHNITRONIC WIDOWMAKERS DRAG-ON
                 NARRATOR moves forward and Da way begins to play Spanish guitar:
                 NARRATOR: The third bade me mount upon and straddle two somewhat separated chairs and,
                 seating himself betwixt them, excited by Dubois, lying in his arms, he had me bend until his
                 mouth was directly below the temple of Nature; never will you imagine, Madame, what this
                 obscene mortal took it into his head to do; willy-nilly, I was obliged to satisfy his every need....
                 Just Heaven! what man, no matter how depraved, can taste an instant of pleasure in such things....
                 I did what he wished, inundated him, and my complete submission procured this foul man an
                 intoxication of which he was incapable without this infamy. The fourth attached strings to all
                 parts of me to which it was possible to tie them, he held the ends in his hands and sat down
                 seven or eight feet from my body; Dubois' touches and kisses excited him prodigiously;
                 I was standing erect: 'twas by sharp tugs now on this string, now on some other that
                 the savage irritated his pleasures; I swayed, I lost balance again and again, he flew into
                 an ecstasy each time tottered; finally, he pulled all the cords at once, I fell to the floor
                 in front of him: such was his design: and my fore-head, my breast, my cheeks received
                 the proofs of a delirium he owed to none but this mania.
                 That is what I suffered, Madame ===
                 The following day we fell hard by Louvres, sleeping under haystacks; I felt in need of Dubois'
                 support and wanted to pass the night by her side; but it seemed she had planned to employ it
                 otherwise than protecting my virtue from the attacks I dreaded; three of the thieves
                 surrounded her and before my very eyes the abominable creature gave herself to all three
                 simultaneously. The fourth approached me; it was the captain. "Lovely Therese," said he,
                 "I hope you shall not refuse me at least the pleasure of spending the night with you?"
                 and as he perceive my extreme unwillingness, "fear not," he went on;
                 "we'll have a chat together, and I will attempt nothing without your consent.
                 "O Therese," cried he, folding me in his arms, " 'tis all foolishness, don't you know,
                 to be so pretentious with us. Why are you concerned to guard your purity in our midst?
                 Even were we to agree to respect it, could it be compatible with the interests of the band….”

                     MERCY © 2011 Words:travis/NOISE:ONO
                MERCY Is The Domain Of The Rich
                Thus sayeth the god of my father
                Wrath ensures prosperity without obligation
                I beg out loud but the god of my father never pardons
                Hypnosis protects me from compensation
                     MY BODY ANOTHER MAN’S PROPERTY
                Rich men own my Cattle my Uterus & my Memory
                I beg I pray but the God of my father is a vengeful god
                Revenge Envy and Jealousy
                     MY BODY ANOTHER MAN’S PROPERTY
                Rich men own my Cattle my Uterus & my Memory
                     MY BODY ANOTHER MAN’S PROPERTY
                Sin Death Hell and the Devil
                Very God of Very God
                Rich men own my Cattle my Uterus & my Memory
                     MY BODY ANOTHER MAN’S PROPERTY
                Behold: My suffering For    //God is Good (3X)//
                Behold: The spectacle of suffering.//[REPEAT TO END]//

                     I know that you can never love me
                     Soon you will be dead.
                Lash out your Love of God refrain for me
                Soon you will be dead.
                     Our little Faith is now 16
                Screams of terrain & fearful camouflage
                She brings down the Saints & Then all eternity
                Gods & Demons: Sentimental Predetermination
                Silent thickets inside my head
                Soon you will be dead (3X)
                     When did the firelight leave your eye
                     Sunrise Sunset waft across your bed
                     Sky of blue blood Flesh like lead
                     Soon you will be dead

                  Static Swamp electronics         all other sounds fade in and out
                  trance beat      travis hits the gong to end
                  =ONCE UPON A DREAM FACTORY
                  Once upon a dream ago      There is movement in my motion      Drowning in
                  perilous streams I have faced when my world seemed useless and slow
                  I knew something was different, as I felt myself cooing inside
                  Still I had This feeling I hadn't felt in years and so it began the greatest revolution
                  Forbidden harmony is so repetitive.
                  There is movement in my motion … A most Harmonious song shrieked
                  The days of the anti-hero have long since strayed And I haven’t forgotten
                  what it was like to overcome feeling alone      But you made sure that I wouldn’t
                  end up like that.      You hang your head low; you knew I had to go
                  Once upon a dream ago
                  =FACTORY
                  In the factory Waiting Thin walls of glass and cement The clock of conformity
                  The faded chipped floor, Listening to the fan blowing out hot stale air Walking back
                  through the old limping factory Listening to Allen Ginsberg with much antiquity
                  Wearing Italian glasses Hot stale air      The witnesses who never existed or the point-
                  Counterpoint texture lectures twisted around the Tongues and teeth of fear of
                  consequence that lies Waiting in the dark, ready to pounce      Pointed fingers,
                  yelled & screamed & reamed for tyrants No windows inside the factory
                  The outside world, Gossips and conversations who feel like prison
                  Bell rings and it rings again to the great battered machines and worn out tables and
                  desks that were bought second-hand.      I am continents apart I think drifting off to
                  that time in ’98 smoke-stacked an entire nation      I pointed out fact from friction,
                  although fiction was not far from their truths…..

Exhibition Title:          travis        @ NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS  
         
                                  Performing ALBINO     at the Closing of
                                  Kandis Williams's "New Catalogue" Exhibition.

                "Kandis Williams produces large-scale black and white collages that track a deeply
                 personal on-going exploration of racial-nationalism, authority, eroticism, magic and
                 violence. For her show as New Capital's first artist in residence, Williams takes the
                 recent Tanzanian folk conviction that the arms and legs of albinos can be used in
                 magic potions, and weaves copies of a documentary photograph of a severed
                 Tanzanian albino arm into intricate and hypnotic lattice structures.

                 Using collage as a deliberately hideous metaphor for violence, these repetitive and
                 idiosyncratic nets, formed from specific incidents of sociological chaos, are set against
                 monochromatic gradients, suggestive of deep space and the occurrence of these
                 incidents over time, compounding the horror and fascination with both physical and
                 ideological difference. Williams implicates both herself and the audience in the
                 intoxication of commodity - fetishism, dramatizing the mind's struggle for truth in
                 moral judgment.

                 Kandis Williams was raised in Baltimore. She received her BFA from Cooper Union
                 and is currently based in Berlin."

                                  "The Club and Music Scene:

                QUOTE
                This series of three gallery conversations propose that we look at Mark Bradford's work
                in relation to different social and cultural contexts. Led by a guest presenter and museum
                staff, at each, we ask: What the nature of this scene? What record of it do we see in
                Bradford's art? Why does it matter to his work and to culture now?

                With Joe Bryl, acclaimed DJ, music programmer and former Sonotheque owner;
                Travis, multidisciplinary artist and lead member of the boundary-crossing music
                and performance group ONO; and
                Aay Preston-Myint, interdisciplinary artist and active scene-maker through the
                collaborative groups Chances Dances and No Coast.

                THE TECHNITRONIC WIDOWMAKERS DRAG ON (travis/ONO)
                Black, therewithal without moonbeam gazed I
                Upon some blazing Countenance set free
                Entranced here held full high a cashmere sky
                Unstirred, invoked. Before her there a tree
                Sprang forth. Old Age bemoaned (in bloom)
                Her fruit: Truth: Sudden shadowplay in dream
                No more! Forlorn? I know not, only doom
                That veils compel Nirvana, graven, gleam
                Perchance this Dragon’s vanity, God’s Tongue
                Illumined like his father’s sad delight
                A martyred Verse, a ruthless, silv’ry night
                Indulged ‘til, limpid, Truth had fast too long
                                 As Vespers eve widows followed here on.
                                 So strong an omen yet; too weak to run.

                ELEPHANT (Jesse Thomas)
                Are you my friend? I am an elephant
                they keep me in here but not for too long
                because these bars are nothing but toothpicks
                and this fence is much too small
                Are you my friend?
                I am not a part of this
                this is the last time I make this senseless walk
                these hollow hallways will soon belong to me
                I wasn’t meant for you and I will not forget
                I am an Elephant
                Are you my friend?
                this is appalling can’t keep pretending I'm getting smaller
                this performance will divide us
                suffered silent slings for far too long
                most of them taunt me
                underestimate today is my day
                and I am not your property
                this sickness creeps and crawls me
                I am as human as the worst of you I am an Elephant

                JESUS AND TEQUILA by Minutemen/JoeCarducci
                I had a girl                    She loved what she saw
                She loved me so good   She made her daddy mad
                My woman cried            She's dead to me now
                My woman ran off         And I can't deny it
                My life - Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it
                I had a job                    It paid me good
                I could have my phone [FUN?] And tip the preacher too
                My boss yelled               He's dead to me now
                My boss kicked me out  And I can't deny it
                My life - Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it
                You better listen to me 'Cause I'm gonna tell you, son
                Don't give away your love And don't give away your sweat
                Because a girl can't know you And a boss can't afford you
                Remember Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it
                Remember Jesus and tequila I'm satisfied And I can't deny it

                VEIL © 2011 (Words/travis:Noise/ONO)
                Today I wear a veil; I turn away from the prey
                The swamp you loved so much retains me
                And with the hunt a rancid power play.
                Hunger. We never hunted for hunger.
                We aim our sights; out the lights
                And then our siblings overstay.
                The dogs are whining.
                Forever I will howl from the clay.
                Behind my veil I see your face
                Every Decoration Day.

BRITCHES © 2011 by travis      

     I DON’T WANT NO BOW RIBBONS ON MY BRITCHES.
     I stood out FRONT of the Temple proclaiming my victory over the Devil
Preachers Saints & Christians LAUGH at me.
In BACK of the Temple I met an angel of the devil; an agent inside a wheel.
I answered: I DON’T WANT NO BOW RIBBONS ON MY BRITCHES.
     My desires aside I deny my father’s hatred: [My father hates me;
my father has always hated me; in death my father shall forever hate me.]
Embarrass his shame/Embarrass his name. Much as I can I follow. I shadow. I leave me alone!
Plunging into the Light
      I DON’T WANT NO BOW RIBBONS ON MY BRITCHES.
      I Wave to his Shroud in Vain. He is Wasted in Ash. He is Whining. He is Wind.
      He is Torn from Shame.                                I Visit the Grave. I Fall on the Ground.
AMAZING GRACE (Verses 1&3)                          John Newton (1725-1807)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound                Through many dangers, toils and snares
That saved a wretch like me.                               I have already come;
I once was lost but now I'm found                     'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
Was blind, but now I see.                                   And Grace will lead me home.

                DANGER     A Film Directed by Michael J. Phillips, Jr.
                                  Featuring Technology & Effects by JayVe Montgomery

                ONO:          P.Michael Grego / Rebecca Pavlatos / Jesse Thomas /
                                  DaWei Wang / MiMi Wallman / travis

                Herewith, my modest proposal:
                 = = = = = = = ONO     //DANGER//     PREMISE: Desire LEADS TO Assumption.
                 No discernible light or light source. Darkness. Animal sounds. White space.
                 Two queen sized white sheets (or plastic, but preferably sheets for projections and
                 dismembering) slash the diegesis at odd angles. Mysterious stillness permeates a
                 space thick with undercurrents slowly rising from mournful gospel bass guitar and
                 droning, foreboding organ. Irregular flashes of light (w/images of Wild Dogs or other
                 animals in the wild?) and roll of thunder. Camera pans space, but in snatches/flashbacks.
                 Shadowy outlines of ONO members. MiMi (demure as if she is a child/bride OR Costumed!)
                 is positioned in a child’s chair, but beckons the viewer by “reaching out.”
                 (Here: Temperamental Lighting) MiMi sings: “Apple in the Tree…” [While I’m here /
                  I’m reaching out /About to touch / To love too much / A hand on branch / One red desire /
                 A fire carte blanche / A heart on fire]. ^^^ Before Mimi’s final phrase ends, ONO intro to
                “Berlin Cowboy” is well underway, INTERFERING (Funhouse/Change lighting) muddying the
                 accompaniment to “Apple in the Tree.” ONO voices overlay/overlap MiMi as ONO speak phrases
                 from “I Am An Elephant” Repeated/Injected (Homonculus). Build into “Berlin Cowboy”
                 at first utterly disjointed and broken/out of tune, then: [“Radio Hobo Wild Coyote /
                 16 stallions a wild coyote / Berlin cowboy got a blood reaction / You better sell these uniforms
                 join a freedom faction (Repeat) / (CHANGE) / And she waits for the doctor / Sally saves all
                 her favours for the doctor / She’s a radio hobo wild coyote / 16 stallions a wild coyote /
                 Sally left home gone a bought herself a pony / 16 stallions a wild coyote / Berlin cowboy
                 better take heed / She tans the cowhide & she takes the lead / Berlin town got a
                 blood reaction / you better sell these uniforms / join a freedom faction / (CHANGE) /
                 And she waits for the doctor / Sally saves all her favours for the doctor / She’s a radio hobo
                 wild coyote (Repeat)”] ^^^ After the second change, guitars DUEL and MiMi destroys all
                 remaining rhythmic patterns as she SCREECHES AND HOWLS//UNMUSICALLY (while pointing
                 surveillance lamps into the eye of the camera/viewer): [While I’m here / I’m reaching out /
                 About to touch / To love too much / A hand on branch / One red desire / A fire carte blanche /
                 A heart on fire]. VOICES: “I AM AN ELEPHANT! I AM AN ELEPHANT!” ^^^ P.Michael bass leads
                 Jesse guitar to control the DISorder by imposing one final INTERFERENCE (Funhouse):
                 DANGER! Big Intro To DANGER! MiMi is out front! Wild Dogs are Howling!/DaWei to the fore!
                 travis is in the rear of the White Box, changed into all-white, and climbs a ladder to deliver:
                 DANGER: [“I was up there with the stone in my eye / I turned to you and there was only the
                 Moon and the Sky / Come here Eagle Boy / Don’t tell me you love NoNoNo / You have the
                 schemes but I have the numbers / And the Demon in the middle of the firmament /
                 Come here Eagle Boy; Come Here! / You have the schemes but I have the numbers /
                 and the Demon in the middle of the firmament.”] Danger provides a reasonable opportunity
                 for our director’s audio/video thematic overlays/juxtapositions, a good degree of
                 Assumption and no small hint of Apocalypse! /travis

HAPPY THANKSGIVING  &  MOTHER'S FUNERAL

Dear +++: Happy Thanksgiving. I am very happy to hear from you. I think of you often.
Mother is dead.
Here’s the story of Saturday 20NOV10.
Friday 1700 Southwest flight Chgo MDW to Cleveland. Delayed two hours. Finally arrive CLE.
Shuttled to CLE auto rental. Collected Alamo rental car. My preferred auto was gone.
Upgraded to a gigantic black 2010 Chevy Impala w/Massachusetts license plates.
Drove 1.3 hours to Akron, OH. Checked into Red Roof Inn (w/room for four) at 0230.
Wake-up call 0830. Up at 0800. Drive to Templeton Ministries COGIC, 994 Swartz Rd.,
for Mother’s funeral.
That was fun.
Friends and family from MS, OH and MI. Lots of singing, dancing, food/repast, etc.
To my enduring surprise, my family did not throw themselves into the casket.
They did not faint and fall about. They did not require nurses. And there lay Mother’s corpse,
exquisite make-up beneath a bed of highly fragrant flowers (The Graceful Tribute Casket Spray,
Colonial Florist #TF201-1). Deep purple roses, and endless other flora, fell gracefully about the
New Point Saturn White/Pink 20 gauge metal casket. Perfect hair. Pearls perfect in her pierced ears.
Perfect airbrush blush. Full-length, off-white evening dress with matching pumps!
Actually, quite an ordinary affair. Then came the big fun. The three-block processional snaked the
full breadth of Akron into downtown and busy West Market Street, led by Sheriff escort’s flashing lights!
matching Cadillac hearse and limousines. I drove the last car in the procession, as it was very impressive
to see the crawl up and down Akron’s very steep, hilly terrain and summer-perfect roadways.
It was a perfect day; I could have left my black leathers at home in Chgo.
^^^ Inside the spectacular landscape of beautiful Glendale Cemetery, one slithers through a cavernous
maze of 50ft-100ft hillsides, cliffs, ravines, etc., covered with Gothic Chapel, Neo-Gothic and Renaissance
facades and endless Romanesque-covered-in-vines. It is on the National Register.
“The Guardian of Akron’s Heritage Since 1839.” Then, there it is! Mother ordered a curious crypt/vault,
huge and highly glazed in silver, sitting in Section 42 Lot 3, in the garden by the side of the road.
Pallbearers deliver the casket to a waiting pedestal. Tented Ceremony; again surprisingly uneventful.
No one threw themselves into the casket or into the grave! I have a great conversation with the pastor
about “all this hardware to rot in the ground.” Then, everyone leaves the sylvan landscape to the blaring
of my niece’s bass booming from the butt of her truck: Just a hint of New Orleans.
They return to repast and party at Templeton. I grow old in Glendale graveyard.
A small army of gravediggers descend upon the scene. We chat. The huge, silver 12 gauge Clark Steel Vault
is raised into the air by a heavy, black spidery trucklike device. It is placed over the casket and pedestal.
Four locks click the parts securely together, then the heavy burden is lifted into the air and moved away
from the grave. Wooden supports, turf, etc., are removed from grave site, and the giant silver vault
returns and is lowered into the ground: Fewer than four inches from the foot of the next vault;
like condominiums. Then, a bright, freshly-washed, poppy-red Tonka Toy Dump Truck arrives with soil.
It is beautiful, heavy, the same length as the grave. Perfectly positioned, it arches its back and dumps its load,
perfectly planting Mother’s mortal remains in the dirt.
I sniff the purple roses and drive 1.3 hours back to Alamo; return the auto; shuttle to CLE;
fly Southwest to MDW; arrive home at 1945; pack my bags and drive an hour to Mortville
haul my equipment up three flights of stairs; and I am onstage at 2100 performing with ONO
(P.Michael, Rebecca, MiMi, Jesse, Dawei and me).

               About this event: Part four of a four-part series celebrating Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
               (LGBT) people and organizations who make a difference around Chicago.
               The final interview subject is James Darby, President of the local chapter of
               American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER), an organization which works with
               veterans in many ways. As Mr. Darby explains, 'We drive them to their
               VA appointments, we help with expediting paper work, we discreetly offer financial support,
               all of our functions are 'ability to pay', we meet with as many politicians as we can to educate
               them, and the list goes on and on.' AVER also continues to closely monitor efforts to end the
               government's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy affecting the estimated 65,000 U.S. LGBT
               military personnel. 'Ending the DADT is our raison d'etre,' Darby has said, 'and we won't be
               satisfied until we reach our goal.'

                                   NOTES:
                                   Half the soundtrack will be diegetic: Traditional, pre-recorded Carnaval sounds,
                heavily amplified w/Afro beats. I also plan to look, performatively, at deep, dark American or
                Latin Blues as an OVERLAY; CARNAVAL provides Escape as well as Transfiguration.
                ^^^At CARNAVAL, Masters and Slaves switch places. (Costumed rich women singing the
                Blues (in a DIFFERENT language)). I want a very NOISY installation of lights, sounds and
                psychological acting out!

                >>>>> CARNAVAL in Rio is when the people (living in the favela's) reclaim their city and
                they can become anything they want, another sex, the king/queen, have wealth, imagine
                a new self & recharge their sense of being for the next year.

Exhibition Title:          ONO PLAYS FOR DELIRIOUS INSOMNIAC        15SEP10 @  DARKROOM

                  http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=116176125093545

                  FROM ARVO ZYLO:   The Delirious Insomniac Freeform Radio Show has haunted the airwaves
of WLUW into the wee hours of dreary Monday Nights for nearly 3 years. Taking the concept of Freeform
and directing it more into the realms of an art form, host Arvo Fingers uses his lengthy experience as a
sleepless madman to wield surrealistic songs and sounds into a slithering swath for 4 hours a week.
He's clandestinely guested overnight many tim...es at WZRD-Chicago, cohosted a soul radio show with
Eric Lab Rat, booked numbers of otherworldly bands, and sustained long stints of freeform band/DJ nights
at daring bars or clubs, often covering two floors of activity. Presently, "Delirious Insomniac" is now
syndicated on RadioKL.Hr in Croatia, with regular international guest contributions from foreign music
enthusiasts. Arvo also writes music-oriented articles as well as making music alongside some of Chicago's
experimental luminaries. For this 3rd Anniversary event, challenging the freeform medium will extend into
the physical/visual realm. You might be alarmed, but you won't be disappointed.

     Hi Jesse, Andy and I have been receiving lots of calls from Ken Vandermark fans who are driving
     from far distances and who are arriving early, etc. We're nervous about capacity (we didn't think
     our small capacity of 60 would be an issue) and about properly showcasing both Ono and
     Ken Vandermark. Your fans might be eclipsed by the Vandermark fans and vice-versa and
     we may have to turn people away, which we've never had to do. We've decided the best
     solution is to reschedule Ono so that both bands are properly showcased. Next Friday,
     September 10, is open and we are looking for an act. Would you guys be able to play
     that night? We really don't have a choice for tomorrow other than to cancel Ono.
     But we would like for you guys to play as soon as possible. Please let me know as soon
     as you can. Thanks, and I'm very sorry for the last minute notice. Rani

03SEP10:     [travis reads Jesse's email, and paraphrases RANI WOOLPERT'S CANCELLATION to the ONO elist]
     9/3/2010 6:42:52 PM
     Dear ONO FANS:      ONO FOR KEN VANDERMARK SHOW CANCELLED.
     I returned from performing at Daley Plaza, practiced, packed equipment
     and checked email before leaving home
     for TRANSISTOR. This just in from TRANSISTOR: ===
     The ONO for Ken Vandermark show is CANCELLED.
     TRANSISTOR owners are concerned because of the number of telephone calls
     they have received, and the factthat the venue capacity is 60!
     I just received this news moments ago, and I apologize for the late note.
     TRANSISTOR promises to reschedule at ONO's earliest convenience. Stay tuned.

04SEP10:     [Ken Vandermark's FaceBook page, updated 03SEP10, is quoted below]
     9/3/2010:     
     QUOTE     Ken Vandermark ‎9/3: Small turnout for the Transistor show;
     the organizers decided to ask
      Ono to move their performance to another date because they were concerned that the
     turnout was going   to be too large for the room.
     This seems to have confused things for the listeners and, ironically,
      the opposite kind of attendence occured.
     The ......folks that showed were very appreciative and I was happy
      with the way the music went: played the Ayler and McPhee pieces, "(brullt),"
     and the Rothko template from
      "Furniture Music," the other four performances were open improvisations.
     I've been asked to do a solo set
      in Oslo during the Brotzmann Chicago Tentet residency at the end of October,
     the rehearsal and
      performance for the Transistor gig will be preparation for that concert....

QUOTE
This event will also feature longtime Chicago way-out unit ONO,
recently resurrected in what is now their nearly 30-year career,
whose work –verifiable through early 80s releases and numerous
performances archived on the internet— keeps re-setting the bar
for total mind-bending performative fuckery.

       so make sure to get here early
===NOTE: This shindig is going to double as my 23rd Birthday...

                 It looks like i get a decent-sized guest list for the opening of
                 The Secret History of Chicago Music art exhibition in the 12 X 12 gallery
                 at the MCA May 7, 6-10pm...please let me know ASAP if you'd like to attend,

                 I will be giving a talk in the Puck's Cafe the following Tuesday the 11th at 6pm,
                 with fave strip-subjects ONO performing from 7-7:30, but this is free.
                 We are working on music programming for the 18th and 25th as well,

High Sheriff, he told the deputy, he says, "Go out and bring me Lazarus."
High Sheriff, he told the deputy, he says, "Go out and bring me Lazarus. Bring him dead or alive,
Wo, Lawdy, bring him dead or alive." Oh, the deputy begin to wonder, where in the world he could
find him… "Well I don't know, Wo, Lawdy, I just don't know." Oh, they found poor Lazarus
way out between two mountains… And they blowed him down, Lawd, Lawd, and they blowed him
down. Old Lazarus told the deputy he had never been arrested… By no one man, Wo, Lawdy,
by no one man. So they shot poor Lazarus, shot him with a great big number… Number forty-five,
Wo, Lawdy, number forty-five. And they taken poor Lazarus and they laid him on the commissary
counter… and they walked away, Wo, Lawdy, and they walked away. Lazarus told the deputy,
"Please gimme a cool drink of water… Just before I die, Wo, Lawdy, just before I die."
Lazarus' sister run and told her mother… "Poor Lazarus is dead, Wo, Lawdy, poor Lazarus is dead."
Lazarus' mother, she laid down her sewing… She begin to cry, Wo, Lawdy, she begin to cry.
Lazarus' mother, she come a-screaming and a-crying… "That's my only son, Wo, Lawdy, that's
my only son." Lazarus' father, he sure was hard-hearted… Didn't say a word, Wo, Lawdy,
didn't say a word. Lazarus' sister, she couldn't go to the funeral… Didn't have no shoes,
Wo, Lawdy, didn't have no shoes. Cap'n, did you hear about - all your men gonna leave you?…
Next pay-day, Wo, Lawdy, next pay-day.

WEEDS/travis (1995-1996)
Every time I   
See you naked I    
Offer my death bed but    
You won't take it
Strange, my flower bed cannot hold you.
In my prime I      
Tried to burn away my    
Winter weeds but I
Breed and then I decay
Strange, my flower bed cannot hold you.
Strange, some ghostly deed exposed my fangs
And all my lilies turn to seed
Strange, my flower bed cannot hold you.

                       ^^^GROIN VAULT=A groin vault … is produced by the intersection at right angles
                        of two barrel vaults. The word groin refers to the edge between the intersecting
                        vaults…. Sometimes the arches of groin vaults are pointed instead of round ….
                        In comparison with a barrel vault, a groin vault provides good economies of
                        material and labour. The thrust is concentrated along the groins or arrises
                        (the four diagonal edges formed along the points where the barrel vaults intersect),
                        so the vault need only be abutted at its four corners. =Wikipedia

             CONDUCTOR Enters wearing all black or all white. Center stage:
             CONDUCTOR: "Helena, Goddess of Thessaloniki, is Displeased!"
             CONDUCTOR strikes bells or gong to signal commencement.
             HELENA Enters SHRIEKING!! in Greek;
SLOWLY! bypasses stage,
             headed for the front door.
             She is pursued by two suitors:
                 1. LITTLE DRUMMER BOY (LDB), SHAKING SHEET METAL, and
                 2. NARRATOR.  Both ENTER behind HELENA.
             NARRATOR stops at microphone and SPEAKS CLEARLY:
                          NARRATOR: "...  In the land of [OZ], queen-sized, amplified,
                          trash disposals echo the [Empty Stage] of our dreams
                          and aspirations."
 
                           "What will you do this morning?"

                           "What will you do this morning?" [phrase REPEATED regularly]
             Meanwhile,
Little Drummer Boy accompanies Helena's Greek TIRADE
             
with [SHEET METAL] occasionally reciting:
             "Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
             
"Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
             "Lundi=  Mardi=  Mercredi=  Jeudi= 
Vendredi=  Samedi=  Dimanche="
             "Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
"Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
             ... Helena stops at the front door where her LIGHTED LITTER awaits.
             CONDUCTOR RINGS A BELL OR [Harmonium?] signals Helena's
             
return to the heavens upon her litter [playing Harmonium 2?]
                  Throughout the room (HEAVEN/OZ):
             [8 symbols of death and transfiguration]. Upon her litter,
             the Goddess growls Greek genuflections to [Albino] or [AHA]
             [Harmoniums] hover overhead. Illuminati.
             Ceremonials.
             [Maria] emerges in the arms of [The Little Drummer Boy].
             She knows "The Rejection and The Loneliness!" He does not.
             He moans [I Wonder Why/(concept: N. Rodgers/B.Edwards]:
             good times these are the best times leave your woe behind
             these are my good times i wonder why i wonder why the clock
             keeps turning i wonder why hesitate let's cut a rug jive jitterbug

Mayor Daley's Salute to LGBT Veterans

            Salute to LGBT Veterans  
          The City of Chicago’s annual Salute to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Veterans,
          “With Liberty and Justice for All,”
will be at 12 noon on Wednesday, August 5 in Daley Plaza
           at Washington and Dearborn streets. The program will last one hour.

          The salute is hosted by the Chicago Commission on Human Relations’ Advisory Councils on
           Veterans Affairs (ACVA) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues (ACLGBTI)
           and the Chicago chapter of the American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER).

          “The American Veterans for Equal Rights has been working for the recognition of Chicago’s
           LGBT veterans for many years,” said Jim Darby, President of the Chicago chapter of AVER
           and Secretary of ACVA. “Thanks to the efforts of Dana Starks, Chairman and Commissioner
           of the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, Will Schmutz, Director of ACVA, and
           Bill Greaves
, Director of ACLGBTI, this seventh annual salute will be held on August 5.”

          Mayor Richard M. Daley will issue a proclamation in support of the Salute.

          U.S. Representative Mike Quigley has been invited to speak. Congressman Quigley recently
          issued a statement calling for an end to the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

          Quigley will be joined on stage by a number of LGBT veterans and elected officials.  

          We thank all Chicagoland veterans for continuing to support their country.

          This Salute is an historic event in the LGBT veterans’ movement. We hope that everyone will
           turn out in force to support this event:

  Prairie Avenue Gallery hosts ‘Pride’ show

          CHICAGO —  Chicago’s Prairie Avenue Gallery will host a Pride Show in honor of
           gay pride month in Chicago. The opening reception will be Sunday, June 7,
           noon-4 p.m., with food, music and mingling with the artists. The gallery is housed
           in the Prairie Avenue Historic District, in the Keith House, one of the few remaining
           historic homes along Prairie Avenue. The building, located at 1900 S. Prairie Avenue,
           is also the former home of Woman Made Gallery.

          The Prairie Avenue Gallery was founded in the mid-1980s by Joy Darrow, a photojournalist
           who was a managing editor of the Chicago Defender. Darrow died in 1996, and her
           daughters, Marcy and Tracy Baim, re-opened the gallery in May of this year with a show
           featuring freshmen students at the School of the Art Institute.

           The Prairie Avenue Gallery was known for ground-breaking shows, including what is
           believed the first AIDS art show in the mid 1980s, a showcase of Black photojournalists,
           and shows featuring emerging Chicago photographers, sculptors and painters.

           The new Prairie Avenue Gallery will have weekend hours. During the week the gallery
           will offer classes and studio space for photographers and artists.

           Artists in the Pride Show are: Photographers Rick Aguilar, Steve Becker, Renee Brown,
           Kat Fitzgerald, Lisa Howe-Ebright and Betty Lark Ross. The painters and illustrators are
           Jorjet Harper, Juarez Hawkins, Carol James, David Johnson, Andrea Kaspryk, Mary King,
           Riva Lehrer, Otis Richardson, Erik R.Sosa and Travis. Carmen Noriega will display her
           stained glass works.

           The Pride Show is in honor of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pride Month and
           will be up through June and July.  The hours are: Sunday, June 7, Noon-4 p.m. opening;
           Sat., June 13, noon-3 p.m.; Sat., June 20, noon-3 p.m.; Sunday, June 21, noon-3 p.m.;
           Closed pride weekend (June 27-28); and open every Saturday and Sunday in July, noon-3 p.m.
           Call 312-907-7909 for hours by appointment.

///^^^09APR09Hey Travis,     I got your bio email a late and I was told by my organization's co-chair to stop accepting artists if they had not sent one in.
                    We stopped because she (without my knowledge) contacted and accepted more artists than we could fit at the Smart Museum.     I really want to apologize
                     for this, it was very much our fault for not being more organized and failing to communicating with each other as an organization. I  also think our organization
                     should have created deadlines to avoid confusion.     The Smart doesn't have the event on their website because it is a student-run event, not their event, and
                     we did not make arrangements for them to do so.      Again, I apologize for the confusion and for the fact that my peers and I were so disorganized. We really
                     would have liked to display your work, so I hope this doesn't ruin the possibility of collaborating with you for our future art events.     Sincerely,  ARTEPOPULAR
                    ///^^^09APR09To ARTEPOPULAR:     It is 9AM on Thursday, 09APR09.     I have seen NO installation information, nothing at all!, regarding TODAY's art
                     exhibition "Arte Popular."     ^^^I found NO indication of this event at the SMART Museum Web site.  ^^^SMART Mus. Web site indicates it closes at 8PM.
                     ^^^SMART Mus. Calendar for today is entirely BLANK!     There are NO events scheduled for today at the SMART!     Did I miss your "TBA" follow-up email?
                     /travis>>> travis 04/05/09 4:40 PM >>>To ARTEPOPULAR:     Both below and attached are a few paragraphs of BIO.  If you require more, please feel free
                     to pick-and-choose from my Web site:  www.travistravis.com ----------------BIO----------------travis     I am a Black//Native American male born in Itawamba
                     County Mississippi 23SEP46.     My work springs from a performative approach to race, gendered space and colonial objectification.     My current art work is
                     based in Calligraphy, Drawing, Painting, Sound, Design, and Live Art/Performance Art.  I work with the band ONO to overlay each of these disciplines and to
                     produce sonic experimentation often classified as traditional Mississippi gospel.  My sound environments represent ethnographic industrial experimentation
                     disciplined by Noise itself.     Visual Noise also transmits a political statement.  All art is political.     Please visit my BIO:

Hello Travis,     We would love to have your work displayed! Yes, here's more info about the
                     event:     Arte Popular is a one-night exhibition on April 9, 2009 (exact time TBA). It will take place at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum and is hosted by
                     the student-run organization, MEChA.  Arte Popular is part of a week long celebration of the lives and work of Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez, but mostly meant
                    to address current social and political problems in the US, including those of labor, education, poverty, and immigrants rights. Arte Popular is meant celebrate artists
                    who incorporate cultural, political or social issues in their work.     I think we are asking for two paintings from each artist, who contacts us. I will let you know as
                    soon as I get a word, but what are the dimensions of the work you were hoping to submit?     Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks,

                    FEEDBACK From ONO @ ENEMY Performance: /27FEB09                      

                    SEE:   http://bloodlust.blogspot.com/
                    "ONO was up next and what a show they put on! Early industrial meets minimal synth
                          meets almost surfed-out coldwave guitars meets true Chicago outsider weirdness.
                          Travis remains the ultimate frontman, not that there was any doubt in that department.
                          Expanded to a four-piece, sans Ric Graham, but with a new guitarist [Jesse Thomas]
                          and a new keyboardist [Rebecca Pavlatos], the band has a fuller sound than I recall
                          from the 1980s.
                          And they rocked the room... heads were bobbing, people were smiling.
                          Excellent! I am looking forward to more. Someday, "Ennui" will be mine... "

                    FEEDBACK From ONO @ Chicago's NO WAVE FESTIVAL/06DEC08
                    SEE:                 http://www.punkvinyl.com/?s=ono&x=0&y=0              [Great PICTURES]
                         ONO
                         Bad weather and the general obscure nature of this show resulted in a pretty thin crowd
                         which was a bummer because I thought for sure more “old-timers” from the Chicago
                         punk scene would come out for the show. The selfish photographer side of me liked all the
                         space to move around in though. I was setting up my camera gear when I heard the
                         sound of sheet metal being hit and turned around to see the members of ONO filing in and
                         heading toward the stage. They got on stage, put down the sheet metal and spent about a
                         half hour playing some very interesting early-industrial/avant garde music.
                         It was at times aggressive and in your face, and other times more ambient.
                         Their singer/main gadget manipulator was a very charismatic front man and seeing
                         this set has inspired me to go revisit their record which I own but haven’t touched in
                         probably at least ten years! Having this opportunity to see an old band that
                         I missed in my youth was a real treat for me.

Now gone from earth gone south
From fire into your mouth

            For Hell defines     Your eyes in mine

And in the silence of her tale

Wake me up in the Asylum

SHAME © 1998 by travis
1)I shouted. I shook. I tore my tambourine from sycamore to sycamore. 
I serenaded devil horses breeding in weeping willows for Baptists wherever they be. 
I slammed shut open cuts & I testified in every Sanctified church house in Amory.
Now I spin ‘round & round, ‘way up in the middle of the air; sins every Saint ought to foresee. 
2)This fragrant creek gave way to the raging river Tombigbee.
Cold, cold Communion waters redeemed my chains that hot summer day. 
My heart contaminated every refugee. They prayed “O Dear God Ordain Me!” 
But at the Jubilee they reneged. All agreed my father was ashamed of me.
3)Blaming me for the Shame in me. 
4)The scolding god is lost on me.  The old outgrow their hell below. 
The seed is sown so let the true vine flow. God will wash me whiter than snow. 
5)At sunset, the red clay hillside slid slowly away; down into Mississippi mud.
I learned new ways to pray as I made my way from Baptist grit out into
Sanctified snake pit.
Old Saints laid hands on me,
& I woke to find God’s own cicadas washing themselves in Jesus’s blood.
& for the first time I withdrew from the shelter of  Grandmother’s pulpit. 
6)My heart contaminated every refugee. They prayed “O Dear God Ordain Me!” 
Every sunset I miss you, although I know! I know! My father was ashamed of me. 
But my spirit snapped & I screamed “Salvation!  What of Salvation?  Salvation is free!” 
& every Sunday morning, about daybreak my father’s bright blue Dynaflow Buick abandons me. 
7)Blaming me for the Shame in me. 
8)The scolding god is lost on me.
The old outgrow their hell below.
The seed is sown so let the true vine flow. God will wash me whiter than snow.

Oh Woman after death
Ships! Fire boats! A dandy under earth!
Madonna gutted then she buried her quest
Trump’d by the queer ignored by the rest

But you were not a colored woman then, FATHER!

Up from fire, acid every time
If not Magdalene, Peter’s manhood sublime
Betwixt her hips pox and hurt
You will never cover dirt

Disfigured Pilgrim, Do You Remember Gnostic Collar?
Do You Remember Hollering In Public?
Do You Remember Permissive Injustice?

Well! You get sassy you get hurt!

Tried to burn away my

And all my lilies turn to seed.
