Miss this night oflive music and you will self shame yourself ...july 1sy

July 1st 10PM ... a dream line up at the Mercury Lounge

Pylon Reenactment Society from the ashes of the best live US indie band of the early '80's (Athen's GA PYLON) comes a perfect reconstruction of the Pylon songbook put together by the magnetic and indelible Pylon lead singer Venessa Briscoe Hay that features some of today's best Athen's players and most importantly has the approval of both Michael and Curtis the other two surviving original Pylon members, (Randy unexpectedly had a heart attack and Pylonceased t exist. I saw the PRS last year at Maxwell's in Hoboken,,, and it was a memory made alive and real. I have always loved PYLON and now I love PRS

Richard Barone is a legend in US indie rock because of both his band the Bangos and his solo albums ... as well as his work with recreating the folk music scene of the early 60's He also happens to be one of the best guitar players to emerge in the indie rock of the 80's

ah 75 Dollar Bill,, not Not since the Method Actors has a two-person band been able to make such hypnotic soundscapes, Rick Brown and Che Chem a new 75 Dollar Bill some call it trippy psychedelic jazz looping rounds and others ears suggest a mash-up between Mauritanian trance meets the softer side of Branca's guitar sonic complexity. 75 Dollar Bill is my favorite NYC art experimental band ..

Praxis, my dear, is the only real way to succeed in the culture war.

Praxis, my dear, is the only real way to succeed in the culture war.
Yes indeed there is a culture war going .. but you know that if you have arrived here. We suggest that you put theory into practice by taking virtual you and virtual ideas into the reality of real live physical and cognitive action.

MEANING: get up and out of your chair and do something physical in real time. OCCUPY YOUR BODY. Be physical.

The fuel is love, compassion and curiosity. Anger is a result of the repression of fear and distances one from compassionate change ... do the Che Che cha cha cha .. or if you prefer the Stiegler tango! or the Shulamith Firestone death metal raga!

PRAXIS is the action of putting into practice the thoughts, theories and desires running through your bio-magnetic, nerve sensitive self. Reality propelled by the friction of input/output.

Damn it, it should be fun !

I will share with you my interaction in the real world and the theoretical world and invite you to do the same.

Politics is an everyday affair. Politics is how we live our lives Every action or non-action we do is a political act. Culture is the expression of desire in public interactive way.

So jump in please.

Join me in participating in life. Making change starts with self and ripples out. Pop culture is where I live ..not in some isolated, white tower, postmodern, distancing intellectual thought or theory. Theory in practice is praxis . It used to be called dialectics .. still a good word even if dressed up in new theory drag.

Serious fun has it consequences including changing the status quo.

We are all at the same life party. Find the door you can come through to make PRAXIS a full time act of creativity .
