NETHERWORLD- the trailer for a short experimental film, featuring myself, TheBoyNamedCrow...
& Lula in the poppy fields....
the short experimental film EPHEMERA (below) which i wrote the screenplay for, and went on to win The New Frontiers Award. for more info including production stills on Netherworld, cast, Zingology’s featured artist of the month check out the website(type in as a url) http://www.flyingorb.com
if you dig it, pass the word around or give the website a line in yr film section...
Writing- songs/prose/prose poetry/film scripts. though my spelling and grammar are sub-par. i also love music/film-making/acting/photography- the arts. but when it comes to painting or drawing i don't know shit from shinola, as the saying goes- but i'm a champion doodler. i love tatoo's, here's one from clive barker's "visions of heaven and hell" on my left forearm, a pic of another one, which is half of a man ray sketch on my right forearm can be found under my photo album "pictures of TheBoyNamedCrow"...

anyone band who can say fuck you so totally to a record company- by giving them this, after being pressured for another number#1 hit
Alex Chilton got the record exec's even better- they were pressuring him for a "commercial album"- he gave them one titled "loose shoes, tight pussy" ironically, if you listen to his work- "loose shoes..." is probably his most commercial sounding solo album
I'd like to meet:
me and Meow Meowi finally found the profane goddess i'd been waiting for, this one here:but AMANDA PALMER, for sure, tooALL THE ACTORS AND CREW THAT BECAME MY FAMILY IN THE MAKING OF OUR FILM "THE WHY" AGAIN, WE'LL REUNITE AT A FESTIVAL. I LOVE YOU ALL. ANTHONY PEDONE (lego death squad) AND STEPHEN FLOYD (snake woman) REAL BAD, MISSIN YOU GUYS- THANK YOU, WE DID IT!
(A.P. again, but this time with some ruby ruby red merlot noir & black and gold natty shermans. we could play Operation with stun guns and chop-sticks sharpened with prison-shiv precision, or we could play Poison Control where you'd be the 1-800-dial-a-nurse and i'll have ingested a quart of liquid fire drain cleaner, and...we could play...Mr. Plumber with plungers and pipe snakes (ummm...) and Operator with dental floss and dixie cups, and of course Dental School, where after having put each other under, we could take turns drilling holes in each other, yanking teeth and sucking up the blood and spit after with those suction tube things, while in a nitrous oxide black-out haze. laughing gas is dreamy. we could order chinese take-out and read aloud from Chinese Take-Out (by arthur nersesian) and bask in our own clever superiority. we could 'dress up like cops and see what we could do', we could be private eyes and spy on the innocent until we're satisfied we're guilty, then pick the locks on all the florist shops and steal all their love lies... run like crazy to a frozen pond and take turns reading from Seventh Heaven- which words (patti smith's) makes your belly- jellyfish quiver like locked in the birthday-girl's closet for seven minutes in heaven-like strip poker at the slumber-party sleep-over).

Add to My Profile | More Videos the many people who i've been lucky enough to have in my life over the last 11 years who have both changed it for better and for worse. the ones i've loved, who've swooped in always at my most vulnerable moments, and either picked me up or flat out saved my life (CRAIG)- from the tweeker ghost who showed me the future on a desolate san francisco street in 97, and to jerry garcia who's sacred heart has saved me a 1000 times.
