spam prescience
caught my eye this morning that just last night the homie kingdom left a comment on an old spam poem which i added to the collection back on 30 july 2007.
spam poems aren’t what they once were. i guess the great spam poets of yore have, by this point, been roundly routed by akismet critics. (t.s. eliot in mirrorshades?) too bad. the spams i get these days are far less oblique, much more to the point (solve your debt, impotence, etc.). oddly enough, it feels like a loss.
evenso, i still keep track from time to time when some seemingly automated internet thingy does something possibly poetic. the most recent example, which is not so poetic really, was some bollywood navel fetish site embedding text from a post i wrote about mutual appropriation btwn filmi and hip-hop, presumably to boost their google juice. (for that reason, i refuse to link ‘em.)
but i’m glad that kingdom redirected my attn to this one –
not least b/c it contains such awesome phrases as “bass chemotherapy” (mixtape anyone?), but b/c it also seems to wink, all oracular-like, at the current financial crisis. daydream banks conflagrate indeed.
tip of the iceberg, right? we could learn a lot from the subconscious net.

Late February, and the air’s so balmy
shaded by live oaks and bottlebrush trees
In realms of dingy gloom and deep crevasse
with visors. Their brave recreational vehicles
Comes up with as a means to its own end.
Everywhere, utterly.
He never even dreams, being sheer snow;
A frame of glided twilight뾋
to matter, for the flushed boys are muscular
III. Chronology of Northern Exploration
She stretches a hand toward the toothy sleeper
In a single floral stroke,
Where does this all end? What is the vanishing
Late February, and the air’s so balmy
Bronze the sky, with no
Would their world not remain comfortably
Calling me to you with wild gesturings
In Winter Haven, the ballplayers are stretching
Coextensive with everything? How could they know?
The snowflakes are swirling, blotting out

Nice try, Mr.CHRISTIAN OSITA ASAPUO, but you nah go chop my dollar with that ol’ 419 spamscam.
Still, I admire your persistence and politeness.
Mr.NKEM OSUOFIA OWOH, on the other hand, well, he’s just plain in-your-face about it.
I admire that, too –

Imagination has beenlost
Likewhat Jose Dali said about my fairy tale character Crab-Mac-Claw orAlice Garibaldi’s view of my computer drafts of sculptures in Rome. They copy someone else’s style. Frederic the Frog is main character in "Frederic the Frog and Elias the Elephant".
Order Asbjorn Lonvig art posters with printed passepartoutonline at ArtWanted. It’s about my decision to make new standards and challenge art traditions by making my drafts on a computer and exhibit the drafts. legit mail becomes bulk, while spam mail get thru. byAsbjorn LonvigYou are an artist. com ArtWanted er et .

Probably the best colorful simplicity artist in the world. I too had seen an interview with a curator from Arosin TV, she was fascinated by the technical aspectsof Bill’s exhibition: Huge screens, high stereo sounds etc. If I pass the review tomorrow I’ll open an exhibition in Rome, Italy,too.

What Grilleration Are You On?
You had Bill Clinton, Condi Rice, Dustin Diamond and I think one more. I believe it works with the Mario Paint mouse but we need a new mouse ball to get that functional. Can you taste the suspense? If anything, SNL should be the place to take a potshot at yourself not do eight minutes about California Drivers and Whacky Suicides.
That is specifically prohibited along with things such as earthquake, fire, theft, malicious mischief, riot and hitting an animal. I asked for a map of it and basically was denied.
The TSA sketch was okay but lacked an effective climax. I live in a PO Box now.
Plus, I get some exercise hiking up the hill after work to meet up with her. What a silly Captain Concorde of the snowy egret zoo.
They have hired help. Here is the list of shows that are still up right now. Subject titles can be outright strange.
Typically, I need to post at least three messages every two weeks to maintain a positive average.
FYI – We have a few mic problems during the first ten minutes but it clears up quickly!
There is an endorsement that you can buy where the Insurance Company will cover their theft to a certain limit.
Hopefully like Alissa says, the initial frost will calm the Fall allergies and kill these repugnant villains.
I raise your insurance premiums.
One of the coolest things ever happened.
Joining them in a combination of factors: experience, right timing for auditions, class start dates, grooming habits and spelling competition.
Or more accurately the police station and the High School. I raise your insurance premiums.
To vallahalla with them so saith me! I miss my friends in Rochester lots – especially from Church, Wrestling and Improv.
What grilleration are you on? I raise your insurance premiums.
I was reminded of some of the setting for Dead Alive. I work in a giant building. There is an endorsement that you can buy where the Insurance Company will cover their theft to a certain limit.

linkthink #426: Textual Promiscuity and Other Forbidden Delights
///
Go go text-sharing blogs: Greg Scruggs offers up Paul Sneed’s’s doctoral thesis on funky Rio.
///
Kerim argues for an Open Source Anthro, asking “Can the Subaltern Google?”

While we’re at it, allow me to point you to an article I’ve got in a forthcoming “hip-hop issue” of Callaloo: “Giving Up Hip-hop’s Firstborn: A Quest for the Real after the Death of Sampling” (pdf). It’s a recent rivisitation of an ol’ master’s thesis spin-off (a revised chapter really — the other one’s on DJ Premier). Reading ?uestlove’s and the Roots’ musical and extramusical gestures as producing a poetics of the “real,” I examine the effects of copyright law on hip-hop production in the late 90s and the investment of sampled sounds with authenticity. High hip-hop theory (or high theory hip-hop [or hip-hop theory high]), if you’re into that sort of thing. I try to keep it grounded in sound and sentiment, though, knamean?
In addition to doing a close reading of ?uestlove’s “History of Sampling,” as published in Rap Pages, wherein the drummer slyly threads a consistent record of “trad” instrumental practice into and against the development of sample-based techniques, I attempt to explicate the musical poetics at work in the group’s invocations and reformations of hip-hop’s signpost features, focusing largely on Black Thought’s flow and ?uest’s drumming and timbral concerns.
Take, for example, the following (loose) transcription of Black Thought’s flow on the first verse of “Concerto of the Desperado” (listen along and see what you think — rhymes are in bold, with internal rhymes italicized):

If you want to check out my analysis, peep the paper (esp pp. 12-6). And go ask for Callaloo at your local library. And pick up a copy of Illadelph Halflife too for that matter.
