NECRO TIMES #2
By Marco Jefferson
The second NECRO TIMES article! We are still checking out this news article program. I'm not sure if the older articles are cataloged or not, we'll find out once we click "save". I kind of like the idea that everything erases, BUT if they are cataloged that means we can explore other things.
This week we are proud to post about the first mini comix IDIOTS. This was made by Viridian Van Buskirk and will be put into our shipments for people to follow along. Viridian had reached out to us and it was immediately apparent that she had many fun comic-like art pieces so we asked her to invent a storyline. Long ago we had an artist named GVVL send us some of his mini comics. There is something about really tiny comics. Jason Little's Sweat also comes to mind, or Retard Riot. We really liked those. It is fun to consider what storyline in IDIOTS might unfold here. More Zines, Comics and books to come!

A new cassette from PAYSPACE, out of Germany, arrived. Payspace's first cassette is a haze of abstract electronic collage. It employs sampling in a cut-up sort of way, in which words are placed against other words forming a jumbled picture that recalls perhaps today's computer livin', scrolling the pages of a myriad sites and their various soothing and/or agitating endless patterns of stimulation.

• One of these articles we make had better talk about the magic of mixtapes/cds/personalized playlists. Putting this here to remind ourselves to do that.
In a Ralph Vaughn Williams pocket lately. He's maybe best known for his Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (which I always play when a pet dies), but so many of his other pieces are just as catchy. He sure fits in with the springtime.
Dreams are awesome. I had a good one last night. I feel like I'm close to connecting a few different dream maps. I go to various places in my dreams and get to know the layouts, but these places are disconnected or in different sections of the dreamworld, but damn, they seem closer to connecting lately. I don't like talking about my actual dreams as they seem they are a person's own private puzzle to interpret, but Wendy will tell me EVERY part of her dreams so who knows! But I will report in NECRO TIMES if these dream worlds end up connecting.
