So, here're the Pegritzian releases for the next two months, more or less:

By New Year's Day, we'll have both of the new derek.cf.PEGRITZ dark ambient releases, Not much longer now and the followup A special place prepared for you in Hell, available for...ohh, Idaknow, probably $5 a piece of $7 for both. Everyone probably knows the basis and ideas behind Not much longer now...., but A special place is a whole 'nother story--literally! The rough narrative structure of Not much longer now.... follows my mental disintegration throughout most of September and October of this year, ending in my fictive (though almost literal) death. A special place prepared for you in Hell is prettymuch the direct narrative sequel, and follows the process of Our Hero creating a nice, cozy little abbatoir in Hell to await the future death and arrival of a certain person whom he will then spend the next billion years slowly eviscerating. It's one 40-minute track of nothing but horrible sounds, mutilated voices, and downsampled metal shrieks....Probably impossible to listen to, but, hey, someone out there's bound to like it, I guess! The third volume in this pseudo-trilogy, which will be called either The Meat Chamber or A Catalogue of Incisions Recounted Over Time will be even worse, as I'm currently sampling lots of surgical sounds to use for source material....

To offset the horror and brutality of that shite, A Doctrine of Works' first album Eleventy-Seventy Names in Vain will be out, as well. Expect nothing but freaky, booty-rockin' house beats, IDM nonsense, and twitchy soundscapes aimed right at the heart of humanity's god-module in the attempt to bust the damn little clump of neurons open and free Mankind from the tyrrany of his neurologically-tempered beliefs in "gods." Shortly thereafter, I've got another Doctrine of Works EP on deck, too, called 2 in the pink, 1 in the stink. It's basically just three songs that I couldn't fit on the previous one:

1. Lindsey's Flap-Hat
2. Pagan Pottery
and 3. Hrrak-a-Pussy Idol

Completely retarded and weird.

I'm already getting started on the next ADoW full-length as well, entitled Flight of the Psychic Polydemonstrative Butt-Bee. It's going to be a concept album, following the adventures of Bruce, a religious-studies/psychology student at Miskatonic University who one day gets exposed to a beam of deleterious radiation coming from the very heart of the Galaxy's central black hole, which transforms him magically into a "species of one" by virtue of the metamorphosing realization that Mankind has no place in the Universe but that which he makes for himself. The transformation turns him into a strange, beelike organism that can interface psychically with the human mind through the base of the spinal column--the coccyx, a.k.a. the tailbone (or seat of Kundalini energy, if you like). Bruce then goes about the world, attempting to overthrow humanity's foolish dependence on gods and serious thinking one butt at a time! He discovers that skittery electropop and mutilated house beats are the best means by which to influence the human mind, in light of George Clinton's dictum, "Free your ass, and your mind will follow."

Yeah, I've lost my shit. But at least it's keeping me busy!

Bizarre!

Lord, have I been in a weird mood lately....Maybe I have a touch of Seasonal Affective Disorder, or maybe I'm just sliding into another oneirophrenic state again--gods, I hope not--but I've been having the most funked-up dreams. The exploding, multiplying turkeys were only the start of it all. Last night I dreamt that a gigantic black car (not a Cadillac, surprisingly...I think it was a Chevy Biscayne) was parked out in front of my house and it was full of "super-villains." No names...just anonymous super-villains--who apparently had tracked me down here from Pittsburgh and wanted to beat my ass. But that was okay, because I unleashed the dragon and flew out the window and whomped them good with my Hulk-powers. Yes, I turned into the Hulk. But not the Hulk: more like an overgrown Green Goblin on steroids with a very bad temper. Anyway, I chased the villains away and stole their car, then took it up into the mountains and drove it off a cliff.

I sort-of know where the superhero imagery came from: I just bought Spider-Man on DeeVamaDee the other day. And we all know how much I love big black old cars....But other than that, I don't know where the heck my mind's been digging some of this stuff up. There's a lot of humor in it, too, which is good--anytime I'm feeling down the best way around that is, of course, silliness (consider the derek.cf.PEGRITZ/A Doctrine of Works dichotomy, for instance)--but the sheer weirdness is starting to confuse even me.

More proof that WalMart is evil.

Best quote of all: "Wal-Mart was putting it before consumers, saying, This represents what Wal-Mart's about. You can buy a stinkin' gallon of pickles for $2.97. And it's the nation's number-one brand."

Yeah, I know they drive jobs overseas and the company is probably run by Satan Himself, but ultimately I don't give a shit. A gallon of pickles for $2.97? Count me in!
