Here in TEXAS we have a much wider variety of potential main courses -- armadillos, wild boars, raccoons, squirrels, snakes, not to mention slow-moving, greedy vultures...... Also effete tea-sippin' liberals from Austin!

HERE'S A SUMMARY OF THE MOST RECENT EVENTS, WITH MY CONTRIBUTIONS...
may : dark moon listening salon : playlist Monday, May 25, 2009 at 11:38am possibly the strangest yet: memorial weekend dearth, illustrious guests with unexpected libraries, deranged sensibility and tough love; the few, the proud, the war dead. DIDN'T MAKE THIS ONE, WE WERE AT MASSMOCA WITH DURLAK
===============
dark moon listening salon - april playlist Monday, April 27, 2009 at 2:15am
sadly missing a furry friend we called a special animal tribute edition: wild voices in the aural wilderness, fierce cries from fuzzy beasts, shamanic blessings from sonic drivers, alien friends with beautiful voices: a landscape emerged, nature sang; drinks, lights, and laughter ensued. thanks as always to all contributors; great turnout, some real gems...
SOMEHOW, I MISSED THAT ONE TO. ACTUALLY, CHRIS HAS BEEN SENDING EMAIL NOTICE THE DAY BEFORE. SO THIS IS ANOTHER REASON I SIGNED UP FOR FACEBOOK.
=====================
dark moon listening salon : march playlist Monday, March 23, 2009 at 6:00pm DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY
I BROUGHT THESE...
This salon was dedicated to the lost, and so we found ourselves lost in a sonic labyrinth of hazy drones and mysterious overtones. Balkan and Finnish influences snuck in from the borderlands, and a cover version or two took us into side dimensions of welcome reconnection and unexpected homecoming. Thanks as always to all contributors!

.oO]: FEBRUARY DARK MOON PLAYLIST :[Oo. Thursday, February 26, 2009 at 11:26am
it was funny and strange, possibly the most eclectic yet, perfect for a short month of cold snaps and meltdowns, enhanced by mike's aqua-vit & the mysterious depletion of an entire bottle of makers mark. more than one guest interpreted "beatless" as "beatles", and so commenced a bizarre and (sublime mini-series of latino beatles covers) James Chance - I Danced With A Zombie
cassia Eller - Eleanor Rigby Gilberto Gil - Sgt. Peppers Tropical Tribute To The Beatles (unknown artists) - Hey Jude
===============
(o :: DARK MOON LISTENING SALON :: o) Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 2:23pm
from the sublime to the ridiculous, January brought crystalline gems amid the requisite slush of mud-stained snowdrifts on frozen asphalt. of special note this month: a Dark Moon Original Mashup, as well as recordings from several local artists, and a special visual contribution from Gabriel's Low Pressure Sodium All Yellow Giant Gas Monster Lightbulb.
THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME. LIL CAME, BUT LEFT AFTER 20 MINUTES. I TOOK A CAB HOME MUCH LATER... BROUGHT THESE:
Sun Ra - Technicolor Pachyderm Nelson Riddle - excerpts from 'Lolita' soundtrack ESPECIALLY FOR "THE END"

MEMORIAL DAY | ALBANY - N. ADAMS, MA Monday, May 25, 2009
Traveling with Bob (Durlak) and Lillian (Mulero) to North Adams, MA to visit MASSMOCA - in particular to see Guy Ben-Ner's video installations, which the New York Times Friday ARTS section featured among their what-to-do-this-weekend picks.
Lillian says, "Memorial Day is not what it used to be."
"What do you mean?" asks Bob.
"Well, it's not really about WWI, or II, or even Vietnam anymore. They're too far back in history. Now, it's about celebrating the preservation of our own memories."
"Maybe," I suggest, "they should rename it Alzheimer's Day."
"Good idea," they reply in unison. Bob goes on to suggest that we are a privledged generation, probably the first in history to have our nearly complete memory banks preserved in amber on the web. Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, blogs, email logs, credit history, medical records, school records, IRS and SS records, IM's, phone voice mails, Skype calls, supermarket/mall/bank/convenience store/gas station/and a hundred other surveillance camera records stored, archived, and instantly accessible. Nothing will be lost of our generation and each of us should be able to google-up whatever we need, whenever we want it.
May 25, 2009 New Yorker Cover Art, Painted With an iPhone
By STEPHANIE CLIFFORDThe New York Times
Some people send text with their iPhones, and some play games. The artist Jorge Colombo created this week's cover for The New Yorker with his.
Mr. Colombo drew the June 1 cover scene, of a late-night gathering around a 42nd Street hot dog stand, entirely with the iPhone application Brushes. Because of the smears and washes of color required by the inexact medium, it comes off as dreamy, not sharp and technological.
The best feature of it is that it doesn't feel like something that was done digitally; quite the opposite, said Françoise Mouly, the art editor for The New Yorker. All too often the technology is directed in only one direction, which is to make things more tight, and this, what he did very well, is use this technology for something that is free flowing, and I think that's what makes it so poetic and magical.
Mr. Colombo bought his iPhone in February, and the $4.99 Brushes application soon after, and said the portability and accessibility of the medium appealed to him. He began the scene by beginning with the buildings structure, then layering on the taxis, neon lights, hot-dog stand and people. (A video of the process is available at newyorker.com beginning on Monday.)
It made it easy for me to sketch without having to carry all my pens and brushes and notepads with me, and I like the fact that I am drawing with a set of tools that anybody can have easily in their pocket, he said. There is one other advantage of the phone, too: no one notices he is drawing. Mr. Colombo said he stood on 42nd Street for about an hour with no interruptions.
It gives him an anonymity in the big city that an artist with the easel wouldn't have, Ms. Mouly said.
Absolutely nobody can tell I am drawing, Mr. Colombo said. In fact, once I was doing the drawing at some place, and my wife was around, and they asked her why did I have to work so hard? I seemed to be always on my iPhone sending messages.
