We have the impression that
we’re learning nothing,
but as the years
pass we recognize more
and more mushrooms and
we find that the
names that go with them
begin to stick in our
heads.

Furthermore, we’re
still alive.

However, we must be
cautious.
Guy Nearing sometimes says
that all mushroom experts
die from mushroom poisoning.
Donald
Malcomb finds the
dangers of lion hunting
largely imaginary,
those of mushroom
hunting perfectly real.

- John Cage

A Scan a Day

In Bruges (2008)

Two hitmen are ordered off to Bruges to lay low, but their boss has other plans with them there.

A magnificent black comedy with everyone involved bringing top performances. Lots of great dialogue!

Ray: Bruges is a shithole.
Ken: Bruges *is* not a shithole.
Ray: Bruges *is* a shithole.
Ken: Ray, we only just got off the fucking train! Could we reserve judgement on Bruges until we've seen the fucking place?
-------------------------------------------
Ken: Harry, let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a cunt. You're a cunt now, and you've always been a cunt. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids.
Harry: [furious] Leave my kids fucking out of it! What have they done? You fucking retract that bit about my cunt fucking kids!
Ken: I retract that bit about your cunt fucking kids.
Harry: Insult my fucking kids? That's going overboard, mate!
Ken: I retracted it, didn't I?
----------------------------------
Marie: [to Ray and Harry] Why don't you both put your guns down, and go home?
Harry: Don't be stupid. This is the shootout.
----------------------------------------------
Ken: You from the States?
Jimmy: Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
Ken: I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.

A Song a Day

Butthole Surfers - Cherub

Another favourite band of mine - to this day. The Butthole Surfers's concert were absoutely fabulous and the only ones I'd ever have felt some sense of danger. Always keep away from the stage!



Cherub
Cherub the angel
Roll back the hands of time

Cherub
Enter the angel

aaaaaaahhhh!

You walk alone now
You're never mind
The walks you've taken
have left behind
All people sideways
They look at you
may god forsake me
cause I do to

I see bodies
Maybe, maybe someone is alive
Naked we smile

Hoo-hahahahahahahah, a-hahahahahohoho

Naked

Ha-ha

ahhhh

You're right beside me
you gaze a view
your body's vacant
they crawl right through

those bodies falling
it's in the air
we're mixed so close now
but I don't care

ha ha ha

walk upon me
your body lead
you try to escape you
it's in your head


I'd better go back
I'm not over there

You walk beside me
you gaze at me
you're homeless now
or that times three

amazon
you gaze along
I'll make you talk you
there is no bong

your mind has cut you
you're bleeding now
your plans escaped
just like a bow

they walk right past you
they stop and stare
your body's lying
all over there

ha-he-he-he-he

Once
over in
Amsterdam
a
Dutch musician said to me,

“It
must be very difficult


for you in America

to write music.



You are

so far away



from
the centers of tradition.”

- John Cage
