The Container Store (Vols. I & II)

A Song

joescirehall — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:31:08 +0000

It’s been awhile since I posted on this blog. I was talking to Adam R and he pointed out that blogging is kind of on the way out. Which makes me nostalgic for all the blogging I was doing way back in 2011. Maybe the future is the past and I’ll just start posting whatever here? Here is a song I wrote with my friend Tom. It starts in the middle and kind of gets disheveled. We don’t really practice. It is about a Dwarf Fortress. It is called Dwarf Fortress. The final two minutes really reiterate this.

Here is the same song with Tom messing around on an effects pedal.

I should also note that somewhere in me, I’ve got a really great post about the Hunger Strike and the DC OWS movement. Need this break to last longer…I will also very soon suggest you buy my new book. Get ready for that.

The Destroyer: D Krewer Gives Horrible, Bloody Birth #New Lit

joescirehall — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:21:23 +0000

The Destroyer is taking its title pretty seriously. Light red paint and impaling, ladies in distress, man eating plants, beautiful, beautiful toasters. This digital publication has its voice figured out from step 1. Go there and get creeped out in a good or bad way.

Also, Drew hid my “vent” under a hanged lady (I’m not saying your review sucks, I’m just sayin’, in general…). See also work by Tony Mancus and Joshua Marie Wilkinson.

Traveling with just Antonio Pigafetta in my bag one last time before SpringGun publishes my collaborative word thing with Chad Hardy about The Container Store. Let’s do this, ok?

BOSTON – Walter Sickert and Black Ocean (Nov 18th-19th)

The best thing I can say about this is that I don’t know quite yet what the hell this is. Which means it is probably better than a “POETRY READING.” Here’s Walter Sickert and The Army of Broken Toys.

Full and probably evolving event info here.
