ALBERT'S BLOG ON ALL THINGS PARAPOLITICAL

Check out Albert's Blog BDC192, the new blog by my old pal - and very interesting character in his own right - Albert Venczel. He's working on a media degree at a prestigious Toronto university, and he's undergoing a trial by fire right now as an adult student back in school at a later point in his life. He's a good man who's had some intriguing encounters, and his work on a variety of 9/11-truth-oriented projects (among other things) deserves some attention, so here's a link to his work. Wish I could do more for you, Albert! Sorry I lost all my audience! Seriously. It sucks for both of us.

EVIDENCE OF REVISION, PART FOUR OF SIX

EVIDENCE OF REVISION, PART THREE OF SIX

EVIDENCE OF REVISION, PART TWO OF SIX

EVIDENCE OF REVISION, PART ONE OF SIX

This 6-part documentary series presents the publicly unavailable (and even suppressed) historical audio and video recordings relating to the Kennedy assassinations, the classified "Black Ops" used to launch massive war in Vietnam, CIA mind control programs, the Jonestown massacre and other important truths of our time. The more you know about real history versus official history, the better equipped you are to see behind the lies of our day. All together, this documentary spans 8 hours, and it is a definite must see. This is Part 1: The Assassinations of Kennedy and Oswald. If you dig it, you should buy it!

PUNISHMENT PARK

This little-seen classic of early 70's paranoid political conspiracy cinema deserves to be seen by a much wider audience. You can now watch the entire mockumentary online, thanks to Youtube. Here it is. Watch along with yer old pal Jerky and leave some comments!

INSANE WOMEN WE HAVE KNOWN + LOVED - PART 2

This is a reading of one of the two posts which had been censored by Open Book Toronto, home of Basil's author blog. Thankfully, they saw the light and re-posted my work. The background imagery was created by Fernando Perriera, with assistance from Sandra McLelland, at Station Zero.

BASIL PAPADEMOS READING MORE FROM MOUNT ROYAL

The giant scrolling image in the background is the novel's cover and again features model Araina Nespiak. The cover photo, design and image processing were done by Fernando Perriera at Station Zero.

BASIL PAPADEMOS READING / VIDEO

Our old pal Basil Papademos - of frequent guest posting infamy - stars in this video of a reading from his upcoming novel, Mount Royal. While shooting the cover photo for the novel, a video camera was left running to record the whole process. The background imagery is an out-take from that video. The model/performer is Araina Nespiak.

HOLY CRAP-DOODLE! A NEW RIGOROUS INTUITION POST!!!

Run, run, run to our old pal Jeff Wells' formerly essential Rigorous Intuition Blog to read his latest post in... what... a year and a half? I got so excited when I surfed on over there and saw an update that I immediately raced back to my own pathetic blog to announce it. I haven't even read the damn thing yet, but that's what I'm gonna do now. So, if you'll excuse me...

The Incredible Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack (1960)

I'd never heard of this cat before, but I was immediately intrigued by both the braggadocious album title and the humorous cover photo. Whoever this "incredible" Jimmy Smith gentleman might be, he definitely grabbed my attention from the get-go. The music behind the image was absolutely not what I expected. The central focus of this all-instrumental album is the legendary roller-rink sound of Mister Hammond's Organ. The Book says this is the first ever album of "soul jazz" and I guess that moniker kind of fits, but more than anything this reminds me of a kind of embryonic version of Booker T and the MG's, with a hint of the type of music that would explode out of Jamaica a few years later with the likes of Jackie Mittoo and The Upsetters. Fans of these Kingston superstars should find this album very enjoyable, as I did.

Had I heard this before? No.

Do I like it? Yes.

Am I keeping it? Yes.

Standout tracks? "Minor Chant", "When I Grow Too Old To Dream"

The Everly Brothers - A Date with the Everly Brothers (1960)

I don't know what to say about this record other than the fact that I didn't enjoy it. Perhaps the inability to enjoy this kind of harmless fluff is a failure all my own. If so, so be it. The lyrics are the typically insipid treacle characteristic of the era - neither more nor less offensive than all the other teenage broken heart at the malt shop crap that was being churned out by countless artists and labels back in the Good Old Days of Eisenhower's America. Even the album cover gets on my nerves. They look like they're calling a Black family to warn them not to move into their neighborhood or something. Blech!

Had I heard it before? Yes.
Do I like it? Meh.
Am I keeping it? No.
Standout Tracks? "Cathy's Clown" is, at the very least, memorable.
