Here’s a fun look at the history of computer graphics from an early ‘70s perspective. I’m sorta digging the music and the “futuristic” trippy designs. Enjoy!

Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. Here’s the late, great Joey Ramone doing a smashing job of singing the beautiful early John Cage piece The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs which is itself based on text by James Joyce. This comes from an Italian Cage tribute LP from the early 90’s that I was previously unaware of which also features a ton of other luminaries such as DM super-pal Ann Magnuson, David Byrne, Debbie Harry, John Zorn, etc.

All Tiny Creatures: Cassette collage memories

Generally when Wisconsin’s All Tiny Creatures goes out on tour, band member Andrew Fitzpatrick carries around an old Sony handheld cassette recorder, tapes a bunch of random phenomena then edits the best of it into a sort of abstract personal memento of the experience. Says Fitzpatrick, “I managed to capture about three hours worth of material over the course of 14 days, which I then edited down to about 14 minutes. The process of editing the material is rewarding; it enhances my memories of the trip, and it’s an interesting way to construct a new narrative of sorts.” Makes for good listening, says I.

Dangerous Minds pal Taylor Jessen writes:

Do Blu-Ray players dream?... There are some truly haunting moments in this guy’s film - stick with it. You can bet George Lucas’ student films would have looked exactly like this if he’d had access to MPEG compression. I have no words for it except “fucking awesome”!

Millions of images: Virgil Widrich’s magical “Fast Film”

Austrian filmmaker Virgil Widrich and his crew truly turned it out in 2003 with Fast Film, an amazingly obsessed confluence of film history, paper-craft and pre-digital animation.

Born from the scraps of Widrich’s equally well-crafted short, Copy Shop, Fast Film imbues its surrealistic qualities with familiarity, humor, anxiety, dread and hints of sexuality.

Alan Moore and Mitch Jenkins: Unearthing

One of the things that can certainly be said for Alan Moore’s various projects over the years, is that they tend to be beautifully packaged and published products. Although often pricey, his dedicated fan base clearly appreciate the effort, as these beautiful objects tend to sell out rather quickly.

Dig Unearthing, his latest, a collaboration with noted photographer, Mitch Jenkins: Lex Records produced the package, which includes two deluxe 180g vinyl records of Unearthing, a deluxe 180g white vinyl record Instrumental EP, three CDs, a poster, a portrait of Moore by Jenkins and a printed transcript.

Unearthing is an audio and visual project uniting legendary comic book writer Alan Moore award-winning photographer Mitch Jenkins and a cast of high- caliber musicians. A story written and narrated by Moore with a mesmerising score from Crook&Flail, Stuart Braithwaite, Zach Hill, Justin Broadrick, Mike Patton and more.

Bleep are proud to be the first retailer to present this deluxe, limited edition box set via Lex Records including the full 2-hour audio reading of Unearthing on CD and heavyweight vinyl, a separate EP of instrumental highlights from the score, a dot-matrix printed transcript, photo portrait of Alan by Mitch Jenkins.

Personally, I think he ought to throw in one of those huge “Camberwell Carrot” joints he’s so famous for, as seen in the photo below:
