About Me

I am nothing, therefore I must become everything. Now is the time to get down, to turn on, to groove... but for more check:
The official Mister Trippy website: www.stewarthomesociety.org
To sumarise, I'm into revolutionary shamanism and forms of drug taking that expand consciousness and improve communication by overflowing all attempts at canalising life.
LSD + Voodoo = A Classless Society.

My Interests

You and me. Me and you. Revolution. Good times. Cataclysm. Positive vibes. The reinvention of world culture in its entirety. Excess.

I'd like to meet:

Tripped out groovy people; those in touch with both their masculine and feminine sides; crazy characters, chancers and just plain beats, who must necessarily have discovered their inner vandal.
And here's an ancient video, a promo for a book of mine called "No Pity" dating from 1993, so an oldie but goldie which shows how I like to have fun with my friends:

Music:

Eddie Harris, Hawkwind, Willie Mitchell, Luigi Nono, Sonics, Flamin' Groovies, James Brown, The Jolt, Ike & Tina Turner (not Tina solo, apart from as the Acid Queen in Tommy), Cornelius Cardew, Monks, Lee Perry, Davy Graham, Aretha Franklin, Model 500, Sinitta, AMM, Fat Boys, Luke Haines, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Glenn Branca.

Movies:

Last Year At Marienbad, Masque Of Red Death, Persona, Spy With A Cold Nose, October, Death Race 2000, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Repulsion, Female Vampire, Abby, Blow Up, Thundercrack, Scorpion Thunderbolt, A Man Escaped, The Beyond, Dolemite, Blacula, Can Dialectic Break Bricks?, Videodrome, Belle De Jour, Planet of the Vampires, More, Cain's Film, Pressure, Cleopatra Jones, Orphee, Psychomania, Liquid Sky, Christie Malry's Own Double Entry, Sparrows & Hawks.

Television:

Documentaries like Art & 60s, but better yet old programmes like Man Alive: What Is A Happening? from 1967.

Books:

Everything by Stewart Home but epecially Slow Death, 69 Things To Do With A Dead Princess and Tainted Love. The German Ideology by Karl Marx, Art An Enemy Of The People by Roger Taylor, Baron's Court All Change by Terry Taylor, Angels From Hell by Mick Norman, Cain's Book by Alex Trocchi, The Black Game by Ellic Howe, Ann Quin, Alain Robbe-Grillet. William Burroughs, Georges Perec. Michael Moorcock, Lynne Tillman, Darius James, Dennis Cooper, Clarence Cooper Jr, Iain Sinclair, Blaster Al Ackerman, H. P. Lovecraft.

Heroes:

I don't have heroes, but I do admire Amadeo Bordiga, the last person to insult Stalin to his face and to live to tell the tale. In 1926 he told Stalin that the proletarian nature of the Russian revolution could be demostrated by allowing all the communist parties internationally to rule Russia collectively. He went on to study the agricultural question within the Russian revolution and concluded from this that rather than leading a communist revolution, the bolsheviks had instigated a capitalist revolution.
