>message received jan22-2006ce from Dr Herme Nemesis< The interwebmegalink, a dark and forbidden place filled with all the subterranean mystery. The true home of the nameless ones on the internet. I cannot speak more of it suffice to say that the things you will find ther are not for the minds and hearts of mere mortals to perceive. It would be far to easy to laugh the interwebmegalink off as the deranged phantasy of a deluded misanthropic babbling mad raving social misfit from the bad side of town, if it were not for the facts that it contains, holding far to much water and bearing up to well under even the most brutal of scrutiny. Dr Offchopsky Walters has researched the interwebmegalink in great detail and has come to the conclusion that it is most certainly no simple work of practical humourology, or even a shaggy dog story. This being true we must ask ourselves "what the hell is the interweb megalink if it is not any of these things?" and as we ponder on these unthinkable facts it dawn onto our feeble human intelligences that if it is not crazy talk, that if it is not a joke then it must therefore simply be a lie, for it cannot contain any essence of fact or else everthing that I have grown up believing, all my homespun truths and hand-me-down schoolbook facts are wrong, and the world is no simple oyster for me to calmly pluck out the pearl and sell to the highest bidder. I wish now that I had never seen or heard of the
interwebmegalink, but....wait, >message ends< This was not the last message ever posted by Dr Nemesis,
however it certainly was the most upsetting. Not to be put off I continued my line of questioning with the good Doctor, however I now can only elicit technical papers on obscure physics related economics subjects, quite out of the good Doctors usual subject of expertise. We can only wait and watch for what the future might hold as Dr H. Nemesis is no longer working on the matters at hand and we shall have to continue our own lines of investigation. Yours faithfully Stay Human is an independant broker of merchandise for people who want to promote things. It originally started out as a very small business of a single man and his badge machine, but has now grown into something else. Stay Human have found sources for all sorts of items such as t-shirts, guitar picks, stickers and such like. The difference between stay human and other organisations doing the same sort of thing is that Stay Human have a staunch attitude toward ethical business practices. Some of the examples include the way in which Stay Human address the issue of the glue used in the manufacture of the stickers. In the catalogue which the Author receives, there was quite a few words given over to the notion that the glue was made by a company which claimed that it was abiding by German standards for environmental saftey and so forth, and that all of the workers were recieving a decent wage for their troubles. What makes Stay Human unusual is that instead of simply taking this on face value, the catologue goes on to say that this information may or may not be true, as there is no real certification or such. This attitude is beautiful in the nature of the disclosure which Stay Human display about the information and prodict which it provides. Many other groups or businesses would just simply side step the issue altogether, instead of providing information which might be harmful or negative attitude inducing apon the prospective consumer or client. Of course this is a fallacy as the information may come out at some time, or a prospective client may just ask, and wonder why they were not told earlier.With the full disclosure policy of Stay Human one feel comfortable that suddenly one isnt going to ask oneself what is the ink made out of or where do they get their paper from, as this information will be already supplied. In dealing with stay human Go Genre Everything have been at all times stoked to the gills with the promptness, reasonability, attention to detail and quality control which Stay Human consistently demonstrates. We have recived innacuracy in product of less than one percent, with exceptionally short run completed assembled and printed objects. This is I might add is a much higher quality than that which we have been recieving from much larger corporations and businesses, during the same period. Stay Human have printed and made into badges for GGE. the badges are garanteed NON BIO-DEGRADABLE and so will be here in the future as relics of hom-sapien life when the Alien Archeologists arrive to discover our unusual ways lof life in this era.
There is an astonishing amout of very insightful writing
about the exceptional artist Diamanda Galas. Much of which is in the
form of detailed anaysis of her complex and provoking works. Much of it
is in the form of various biographies detailing her myriad achievments. Diamanda Galas is a truly magnificent one. This is
highlighted when one attends one of her rare Australian concerts. You
will be able to guarantee that You will meet an array o ffolk whom you
thought must have left the planet due to their inactivity in Your life.
People who You thought were well and truly retired forever and never to
make another appearence, lo and behold, abraxcadabrax there thay are. Truly the testment to the powers of Diamanda Galas is this ability to bring them all out of the woodwork. One of the things which is highlighted about Diamand
Galas is her skill in performance. This is somehow misinterpreted and
constantly pointed out by people in passing when they talk about her.
It seems that to this writer some people do not realise that the true
skill possesed by Diamanda Galas in her performance is that her skills
and talents and practice become subliminated to the communication and
expression of the performance. When one attends a performance one feels the power. One feels the intensity. One can see the movements and hear the sounds but the performer reaches through the act of transmission of expression to actually connect thus making the performance not one where the audience marvels and wishes that they were any good at anything but one where the audience is empowered by the strength and concern and sentience of the performer. Diamanda Galas empowers the listener of her musics, that is if the listener does in fact agree with her. If the listener is one of those people for whom she is singing. There is that isssue of those who are opposed to Diamanda Galas and her works, and concerning those people It would be not to much of a gamble to predict a sense of illness, fright, uncertainty, nausea and perhaps bewilderment at these amazing recitals of unique living expression. This writer has not seen a negative response to the work of Diamanda Galas ever. So it is totally conjecture as to what one might be, and really not worth dwelloiing apon, when we can instead marvel at the seemingly endless strength and determination which seems to be that which Diamanda Galas gives out so generously in her works, both live and recorded. The link above will take you directly to the Diamanda Galas webspace on the internet. Spill
