INDIAN WARS


TOGETHER WE CAN



DIFFERENT DEGREE OF HOMELESS


WHERE HAVE ALL THE HIPPIES GONE


WHERE HAVE ALL THE HIPPIES GONE

GOOD IDEA BUT DID THAT REVOLUTION EVER GET SCREWED OVER

LOVE WAS WINNING UNTIL SOMEHOW IT TURNED TO THIS

THE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT

THE CHURCH HAS BEEN CORRUPTED

THE POLICE HAVE BECOME OUR ENEMY

TONS OF HUMAN ENERGY IS SPENT THINKING ABOUT IT

MORE MONEY MORE MONEY HAS BECOME THE PRAYER AND WISH

STARTREK PHONES ARE AVAILABLE

SOME SAY THE EARTH IS WARMING

ALIENS ARE COMING

ASTROIDS ARE COMING

POLLUTIONS IS FEEDING ON ITSELF

TOLD TO EAT THIS DO NOT EAT THIS

PILLS ARE THE ANSWER TO GOOD HEALTH

OUR FOOD IS TOXIC

NEED TO FILTER OUR WATER

HAVE WE POLLUTED EVERYTHING

BEES ARE DYING BY THE THOUSANDS

GENETICALLY ALTERED FOOD

STARVATION AND WARS

CONFUSED GENERATIONS

WHERE ARE ALL THE HIPPIES

SHOULD WE THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT ANIMALS

RECORD TURNOVER

Indian Wars first came to my attention through their affiliation with Dead Ghosts and a brilliant first 45 “Ghost Letter”. Since then, they have faithfully stayed with Bachelor and now deliver their second longplayer. For a Canadian band, they seem unnaturally attuned to down-South roots music. A few whiffs of country rock and bluegrass flicker by as titles like “Mississippi”, “Florida” and “Pastor Phillips” set the tone of the album. Songs From the North does kind of feel like a trip “There and Back Again”, as the opening track is called. A musical trip both back over latitudinal lines and back in time. “Windshield Wiper Blues”, “Wastin’ Time” and “Already Home” reinforce a travelling theme, while the full-on “Denny” invariably brings to mind fellow garage/country enthusiasts Denney & the Jets. Although Vancouver is a long way from Nashville, these groups share what is currently quite an unusual mindset. It’s a gritty sound, miles away from The Jayhawks or other staples of modern country rock. It’s no surprise to learn that the entire Indian Wars set was cut in one studio session. I think they shine the brightest on the sparkly second track “Sweetheart of the North”, where they mix up their sound with some West Coast folk rock (hear it below). Closing track “Who Needs a Girls Like You” with its lengthy Dylan-circa-’65 jam also impresses.

HARRY BELLICK

THE HALLS OF ENGRAVED PLAQUES HANGING LIKE DEAD MEN FROM A GALLOWS OF HUMAN MISERY.  THESE ARE THE TRIBUTES TO THE LACK OF HUMAN DISSEMINATION FOR POWER AND PROFIT.  MECHANICAL REPRODUCTIONS ETERNALIZING THE BLOODLETTING OF THE ELITE. THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH UNIQUENESS IS ONLY A SMALL PROTRAIT OF DOMAIN TRADITION, BY A BLOODLINE OF INTERBRED PROFOUNDLY SUBVERSIVE DOMINANT CLASS OF GIGGLING MANIFESTATIONS OF EVIL.  THE THEME IS ONE OF THE DELECTATION OF THE COMMON PEOPLE.  THE IMPLICATION THEREFORE IS ONE OF SUPERORITY, EMOTIONALLLY OVERBLOWN IN THE ANCESTROY OF THEIR FOREBEARERS.  OWNERSHIP IS A CRITICAL ICONOCLASTIC IMPLICATION NOT UNDERSTOOD OR REQUIRED BY THE MASSES.  THEY CREATE MONTAGES CAPABLE OF DUMBING THE MINDS AND SOULS OF THEIR FILTHY EATERS.  POPULARIZING OF THE END GAME IS JUSTIFIED BY WAY OF A DIVINE DESIRE TO CREATE EXOTIC SPECTACLES, THEIR ACTUAL FUNCTION APPEARS TO BE TO PROVIDE RELIEF FROM HARSH POLITICAL ECONOMIC REALITIES.  IMPRESSIONS OF LIFE ARE SPLAYED WITH COLOUR AND VIOLENCE AND ITS REPEATED APPEARANCE.  NEVER ACKNOWLEDGING THE LIE AND DECEIT OF COMLPLETE CONTROL THROUGH THE USE OF MAMMOTH EXHIBITONS OF WHAT YOU ARE TOLD YOU NEED.  GHETTOIZATION NEED NOT BE SQUALOR, FILTH, STARVATION AND MISERY, IT ONLY NEEDS CONTROL AND CONFIRMATION AND HUMBLE SUBMISSION TO THE PUPPET MASTER.  FLOURISHING ECONOMIC PROSPERITY, OR PUNISHING POVERTY IS NO MORE THAN THE F0RGERY, THEFT AND THE PIRATING BY PROFITEERS OF EVIL.  THESE SOULS ARE LOST TO THE BELLOWS OF HELL, NO CONCIOUS AWARENESS OF GOODNESS.  ENTERAINMENT AND ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE DARKSIDE ARE AMONGST THE AIMS OF THE ORGANIZERS OF CULTURAL EXTRAVAGANZA.  EMOTIONALLY THE WORKERS AND PEASANTS ARE PROFOUNDLY MOVED BY THESE IMAGES.  DESTROYING THEIR VERY OWN PURE ACCESS TO THE TRUTH.  SENTIMENT AND WARMTH ARE TORN BY VINYL AND MOVING IMAGES FROM THE VERY AWARENESS OF THE PROUD SOVRANS OF MOTHER EARTH.  CONFORMITY TO THE MASTERS PLAN CAUSED REPETITION, STANDARDIZATION, SUBORDINATE WORKERS TO A REGIME AND RHYTHM OF THE MACHINE, MONOTONY, IMPERSONALITY AND BOREDOM.  ART IS THE CONTRAST, IT STANDS FOR THE VALUES OF INDIVIDUAL OR PERSONAL EXPRESSION, ORIGINALITY, UNIQUENESS, AND SKILLED HANDIWORKS.  THE MACHINE EQUALS NON-HUMAN OR ANTI-HUMAN, WHILE ART EQUALS THE QUINTESSENCE OF HUMANITY STRIVING TO OVERCOME THE EMOTIONAL NARRATIVES OF RELIGION, GOVERNMENT AND IGNORANCE.  WHAT STANDS BETWEEN THE THE AUDIENCE, THE ARTISTS OR PERFORMERS IS ONLY THE FACT THAT THE MASS OF PEOPLES HAVE BECOME MERE CONSUMERS OF CULTURE AND ART PRODUCED BY THE RAGING MACHINE OF BOURGEOIS SOCIOLOGICAL INTERBRED, BLUE BLOOD EVIL MONGERING, SATAN WORSHIPPING FIGMENTS OF OUR OWN IMAGINATION AND OUR THOUGHTS CREATING PASSIVE ACCEPTANCE OF EVIL.  THIS IS WHERE AND WHY ART HOLDS A PREFERRED CONCEPT FOR THE MASSES, PURE ART IS OF THE SOUL AND MIND OF A COLLECTIVE CONCIOUSNESS.  THIS PROVIDES TRUTH, LOVE , KINDNESS, AND JOY.  MANKIND, AS ALL CREATURES OF THE UNIVERSE WILL COME TO UNDERSTAND ONCE ANARCHY IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE NO MORE THAN FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND CAN BE WITHOUT VIOLENCE.  BOTH THE THEME AND COMPOSITION OF ART AND ITS CREATION WILL NOT CREATE AN ANARCHIST PHILOSOPHY BUT A TRUE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.  SO ONCE AGAIN DON’T THINK, DON’T TRY, DON’T MATTER IS THE WINDOW INTO THE SHORTCOMINGS OF HUMANITY.  THERE IS A PROFOUND SOPHISTICATED SOUL WITHIN, RELEASE IT.  THIS IS HARRY BELLICK HERE AT MUSIC BOX RADIO, SAYING LOVE IS NOT JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD.  LOVE IS US.  REMEMBER JUST TAKE A WALK AROUND THE PARK

snl149 EXPONDANCE OF ART

THE EXPONDANCE OF INTERGRAL CONSPIRACY WITHIN THE UNNECESSARY REBIRTH OF A JOURNEYMAN EXPERIENCE, IS AND HAS SINCE THE HISTORICAL COMPOSITIONS OF REALISTIC SUPREMACY AROUSED THE EXPLOITED CLASSES. IT’S UNIQUE EXISTENCE AND AUTHENTICITY HAS RETROACTIVELY CREATED AN IMPRESSION OF TRADITION. THERE IS A RAWNESS OF PERCEIVED ELIMINATION OF A MECHANIZED EXISTENCE. THE TRANSFORMATION OF SOCIETY IS A DIVISION THAT BROACHES THE ASSIGNED CONTRADICTIONS OF SOCIAL EXPLOITATION. WITHIN QUOTATIONAL TECHNIQUES LIES THE SOCIALISM OF ARTICULATED CRITICS, THAT DESTROYS CONTEMPORARY CONCLUSIONS. FUTHERMORE THE COMPLETE CONTRIBUTIONS TO ALL CULTURAL MASSES IS INFLUENCED BY ENGAGING AND REPRESENTATIONAL PRACTICES. NEVER PRE-CONSIDER THE NON REVOLUTIONARY MOTTO OF DON’T THINK, DON’T TRY, DON’T MATTER. CERTAIN SELF-CONSCIOUSLY MISUNDERSTOOD
BORERLINE ACTIVITIES AND NEW TENDENCIES THAT CHALLENGE OUR SOPHISTICATED EMANCIPATED MINDS, WILL OVER TIME BE ASSOCIATED AS AVANT-GARDE. OBJECTIVE REALITY WILL FOSTER A DISADVANTAGE OUTSIDE THE NORMAL. SOLIDARITY OF COMMUNITY IS BASED PRINCIPALLY UPON MORE NEBULOUS EXAMPLES. ALL OF LIVE IS A VISUAL PLURALISM OF THE PRESENT, WITH LITTLE OR NO BARRIERS TO THE PAST OR THE FUTURE. THE PHILOSOPHY IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AS FAR AS REALITY INFLECTS A FORMAL STRUCTURE ON STEREOTYPES THAT ARE INIMICAL TO ALL ORIGINAL ART. THE VALUES AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE DEMONSTRATES THAT PERSISTED PARADOXICAL PHENOMENON IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN AVAILABLE THROUGH UNACCEPTED ARTWORKS. ART MUST BE PREPARED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SOCIETY ALLOWING A CRITICAL IMENSION TO EMERGE AND TRUTHFUL DEPICTION WILL REVEAL THE FAULTS AND CONTRAICTIONS OF SOCIETY. THE LIMITATIONS ARE OBVIOUS, IT NEED
BE ACKNOWLEGED AND APPRECIATED WITHIN THE MESSAGE, DON’T THINK DON’T TRY DON’T MATTER.
THIS IS HARRY BELLICK HERE AT MUSIC BOX RADIO SAYING CELEBRATION WILL EVENTUALLY BE FOUND IN TRUE FULFILMENT OF PURE ART, JUST REMEMBER TAKE A WALK AROUND THE PARK.

ART JUST WHAT IS ART.

BLANK CANVAS, BOARD, WALL, STATUE, ANY PHYISCAL FORM THAT CAN BE USED TO ACCEPT COLOUR.  THIS IS AN INTEGRAL NEED OF ART.  ART FLOURISHES BECAUSE IT RECIEVES SUBSTANIAL PATRONAGE.  THE CENTRAL QUESTION IS WHY?  DOES ART CREATE SOME KIND OF INTELLECTUAL STIMULUS, DOES PEOPLES LACK OF SUPPOSED ABILITY GIVE RISE TO A NEED TO ACCEPT OTHERS WORKS AS PROFUND AND BEAUTIFUL. EXPRESSING SOME HIDDEN DESIRE.  IS THERE SOME CULTURAL STRUGGLE PROVOKING DISCUSSION WHERE ART IS CONCERNED.  WHY IS THERE ALWAYS CLASS DIVISION, WEALTH AND EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITIES IN ART.  WHAT DOES ART CAPTURE, TIME, SPACE, THOUGHT, REASON, NEED, OR JUST NOTHING.  DONE JUST BECAUSE A THOUGHT, A DESIRE TO DO, HAS ELECTRICALLY BEEN GENERATED IN THE BRAIN, THAT NEEDS AN OUTLET.  IS THIS PURE THOUGHT, PERHAPS, BUT WHAT IS LOST IN THAT PURE THOUGHT AS WE TRY TO TRANSLATE IT ONTO OUR PALLET OF CHOICE.  DOES TO MUCH THOUGHT DESTROY THE BEAUTY OF THE PURE ART THOUGHT?  PERHAPS ART SHOULD BE FREE OF TO MUCH THOUGHT.  THE VORTEX OF THE MIND IS A WINDOW INTO THE PAST AND THE FUTURE AND THE NOW AT THE SAME TIME.  AN ARTIST IS NOT A CRITIC, AN ARTIST IS NOT THE SOUL CREATOR, THE ARTIST IS ONLY  THE MEDIUM THAT PRODUCES THE ART.  WITHOUT THIS CONCEPT ART IS PRIMITIVE AND UNEVOLVING.  WHY DO ARTIST FEEL COMPELLED TO FEEL THEY ARE PROVIDING THOSE AROUND THEM WITH SUCH GREAT AND NECESSARY SOCIAL TREASURES.  ART IS A SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE BOTH FOR THE ARTIST AND THE VIEWER, OR SHOULD BE.  ART IS A FORM OF CAMOUFLAGE, TO CREATE, FEELINGS OF LOVE, FEAR, DISPAIR, DOUBT, UNCERTAINITY, JOY, PEACEFULNESS, AW, AND SABOTAGE.  THE ARTIST NEEDS TO RESPECT THOSE WHO FIND ART USELESS, FOR IT IS, UNLESS ON SOME LEVEL IT IS CAPABLE OF DEMANDING SOME HUMAN RESPONSE, EITHER, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, BUT SOME RESPONSE.  IF IT JUST HANGS OR STANDS EXPOSED TO LIGHTING AND WALLS, WITH NO DIRECTION OTHER THAN TO REPRODUCE AN EXISTING IMAGE, THEN YOU CANNOT DISMISS THE ASSUMPTON THAT ART IS BORING, UNINTERESTING AND OF NO VALUE.  ART DOES NOT DEMAND THE MASTERY OF AN ONE TECHNIQUE, JUST THE DESIRE TO DO IT.     THE ARTISTIC PRACTICE MUST BECOME FULLY INTEGRATED INTO A COMMON REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE TO FIND, COMPASSION, LOVE AND PEACE.
