This track is the last from a CD compiled from the audio archive of Psychic TV, Genesis P-Orridge and the Transmedia Foundation. It is intended to be multi-functional and it is here to be re-abused through you. The raw materials, loops, sonic maps and trance routines included may be listened to as a Kaotic entertainment; as a navigational exploration of brain and expectation; or as a resource to be sampled, reworked, adjusted and processed by other individuals for their own personal works and their own ends. Any and all interpretations are valid. This NOT an indexed and formularised "Sampling CD". Rather, it is a description from a different perspective, of the eclectic and unique world which Psychic TV and their Closet Collaborators have inhabited in various media and incarnations from 1950 to the present. This is an Electric Newspaper, a speculative publication deprogrammed to preserve and make accessible to the maximum number of participating travellers, multiple brain-escapes, and audio-collisions in order to give the greatest potential stimulation and communication to all.
The interview included at the end of this publication is an Electric Newspaper exclusive. Never before published anywhere as either text, or audio. In it Genesis P-Orridge questions Brion Gysin about his various interactions with legendary Rolling Stone Brian Jones in Morocco in the 1960's, as part of his extensive research prior to recording the classic PTV single "Godstar". The interview was conducted in Hackney, London on the 10th July 1985. To our knowledge this is the only authentic document stating exactly how Brion Gysin experienced these events, previously only mythologised in both the Astory of Jajouka, and books on The Rolling Stones. On the original cassette box Brion wrote afterwards...
...NIL BONUM MORIENDI DIC ERUNT.

Mein jüngster Sohn hat für den Englischunterricht einen Text über Richard Brautigans Shortstory "The greyhound tragedy" schreiben dürfen...es ist bildungstechnisch doch noch nicht alles verloren...und als #sozialistischerRealismus Geschädigter, der die Amis erst Anfang der 90iger, mit über 20 durchgeackert hat, bin ich schon ein wenig neidisch... #beatgeneration #brautigan #ontheroad #wordisvirus #amerikanischeliteratur #burroughs #WilliamCarlosWilliams
A “very significant” unpublished story by Jack Kerouac described as “a lost chapter of the On the Road saga” has been discovered after languishing in the files of an assassinated Mafia crime boss for at least 40 years.
The two-page typewritten manuscript signed by Kerouac in green ink is titled The Holy, Beat, and Crazy Next Thing and is dated 15 April 1957, five months before his classic of beat literature, On the Road, was published.
It was discovered last year during the disposal of items owned by Paul Castellano, who ran the feared Gambino crime family in New York from 1976 until he was murdered in a hail of gunfire on 16 December 1985.
It is not known how or when Castellano acquired the Kerouac story. According to the company that bought it from his estate, Your Own Museum, it is thought to have originally been given to a San Francisco poet in the beat generation circle. The company said: “It has remained in private hands, meticulously preserved, for over six decades. It is a direct, tangible link to the moment the beat generation exploded into the American consciousness.

Je lis l'excellente traduction de l'édition bilingue du recueil "drive" de Hettie Jones de Florentine Rey et Franck Loiseau.
Si j'admire la démarche réussie de rendre le texte original, l'éclairer & le compléter, c'est aussi la 1e fois que je me dis de manière consistante que j'aurais fait autrement. Est ce par je manque d'expérience ou juste une différence de démarche ? #poesie #traduction #TraduisLaTraduction #hettiejones #beatgeneration #anglais #traductologie #livres #autrices #PoésieEngagée
Stanford University: Stanford acquires an unseen piece of Beat Generation history. “The archives of Al Aronowitz, a journalist known for his ‘street-level’ coverage of the seminal poets and musicians of the 1950s and ’60s, offer scholars a new lens on mid-20th-century counterculture.”

I like that they translated #womenpoets of the #beatgeneration in French but I'm glad they chose to do so in a bilingual version because despite the quality of the work that was done I feel limited by the mandatory #translation choices #poets #poetry

THE BURNING GHAT
Starring beat icon Herbert Huncke (1915-1996) in his sole acting role, The Burning Ghat was filmed on location in Huncke's then apartment on Henry Street in Brooklyn, New York. Co-starring his longtime companion Louis Cartwright (later murdered in the East Village in 1994), the film was written and directed by James Rasin (Beautiful Darling: The Life and Times of Candy Darling, Andy Warhol Superstar) and Jerome Poynton. It was edited by Francois Bernadi (director: Walking the Dog, Original Beats, for a kiss..., The last boat), and shot by Michael Slovis (Emmy Award winning cinematographer of "Breaking Bad").
Although conceived and scripted as a dramatic short, the film incorporates documentary elements reflecting the real life relationship between Huncke and Louis. Allen Ginsberg wrote of the film, "O Rare Herbert Huncke, live on film! The Burning Ghat features late-in-lifetime old partners Huncke & Louis playing characters beyond themselves with restrained solid self-awareness, their brief masquerade of soul climaxing in an inspired moment's paradox bittersweet as an O'Henry's tale's last twist". Harry Smith said of the film, "It should have been longer".
Jack Kerouac was a master of the roman a clef - a novel in which real persons or actual events figure under disguise. But the key word here is "disguise". He dressed up all his characters, including the narrator, himself. But who is that person? What is real/reported and what is imaginative? This question could easily suit a book-length answer. But one of the best answers in short form comes from William Burroughs, who obviously knew the man himself - https://allenginsberg.org/2014/09/william-burroughs-on-jack-kerouac-at-the-1982-naropa-conference/
“Kowalska sees these ‘counter-sites’ as versions, however imperfect, of a utopian ideal in which heterogeneity is valued. “They are by nature non-hegemonic, and in the modern context are often the spaces of subculture or deviance; in literature, they are often the setting if not the subject of transgressive fiction. In the work of the Beat Generation writers, scenes such as nocturnal Times Square, the transient lives of migrant worker communities, port and border cities, or downtown rooming houses, can be understood as heterotopias in terms of their liminality, their difference from conformist society, and the sometimes idealised potential for freedom, expression, and experience they are portrayed as holding.”
