This is Party Volcano's Memorial Day issue. Don't worry I am not downgrading this public holiday. But I will throw in a blurb about it, in which I will talk about death, love, seaweed, and a yellowed shirt...

Autonomat partay @ CHAC lower level

hello party volcano- i'm lincoln, a subscriber to
your list and i'm throwing a partay. i imagine it's
probably too late to get included, but on the off
chance it's not...
this friday may 28th, 2004 @ the CHAC lower level,
1621 12th ave, directed to yourself by autonomat:
vitamin d, freshly ordained seattle's #1 hip hop
artist by seattle weekly, will be headlining, going on
after 12:30a to close, spinning new, inside hip hop
rhythms that people have yet to hear. the show will
be opened up by autonomat representatives ted dancin
(the shadow teddy ruxpin) and myself, lincolnup. ted
will be building bridges betwixt soul, funk, hiphop,
techno, and prince between 11p and 12:30 a. I'll be
blending and cutting on new and old school
electrobreaks, miami bass, hiphop, 80's freestyle and
pop, and accelerated funk from 9:30p- 11p.
we're bringing in the lustre king sound system,
which consists of 7200 clean, warm watts of crown
micro amperage runnin thru dbx comp, limiter, gate,
and eq, pushing 4 yorkville elite cabs- 2 bass bins
each housing 2 18"s, and 2 tops with 2 15"s and a fat
horn in both, all lovingly administered to by lustre
king tyson manzin. suffice to say, it'll sound as
good in the lower level on friday nite as in any room
in the 206 on any nite
cover is $6 and the lower level finally got their
liquor license, so there'll be $3 middle shelf wells
(bacardi, smirnoff, etc.) all nite long.
this is about a good ole bacchanalian group rhythmic
experience. come as you are.
cheers,

Ladies and Gents.
OK, the sun is gone today, but it is still warm, and it may return by
the weekend.
But whether the weather is pacific or inclement, this Friday we will
be rocking it at The Mirabeau Room. ¡Claro que es Globalista!
Last Friday’s Globalista week was again very fun (are you seeing a
theme here?), with Nasir and Darek rocking us well.
And now this Friday, it is time for our monthly Bollywood Blowout. DJ
Anshul, and DJ Anup on the wheels of steel, plus that Darek Mazzone
guy. Deepayan on tabla, yours truly on darbouka, sarod, and occasional
tabla. Live Visuals by E-Tastik.
Cover is $7. The exciting begins right around 9:30pm and goes until
2am. I hope to see you there.
BTW: you can catch Mr. Deepayan Acharjya playing classical tabla at
this weekend at the Folklife Festival. Deepayan is accompanying
vocalist Deepa Banerjee, with harmonium player Rahul Deshpande. Saturday at
6:20 – 6:50pm in the Center House.
Peace, Best musical wishes,
James Whetzel

On 83 isolated acres I bought near Patzcuaro, Mexico. I will be starting an
eco-farm there. Aspects of it will be like an intentional community. I will
be painting down there and selling in Mexico City, Guadalajara and
Monterray. Also I will likely come up to the states with a van of art twice
a year and sell along the west coast. I have many aesthetic directions I
want to go in and will be painting for many decades.

Memorial Day
There are three types of holidays: public holidays like 4th of July, banker holidays like Martin Luther King Day, and Burner holidays like Halloween. I knew that Memorial Day is not a Burner holiday (even though it should be). But I have to admit that I had to ask a friend whether I would have to go to work on Monday or not. Embarrassed by this incident I decided to read up on this weird little holiday:
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. There are many stories as to its actual beginnings, with over two dozen cities and towns laying claim to being the birthplace of Memorial Day. There is also evidence that organized women's groups in the South were decorating graves before the end of the Civil War: a hymn published in 1867, "Kneel Where Our Loves are Sleeping" by Nella L. Sweet carried the dedication "To The Ladies of the South who are Decorating the Graves of the Confederate Dead".
The following has nothing really to do with Memorial Day but reading about death and love made me think about lyrics written by the Bavarian songwriter Konstantin Wecker. He wrote this remarkable song in 1973. It is still one of the most moving love songs I know. I couldn't find any English translations, so here is mine (which I have previously released as part of a pre-PV project called "Undertaker's Poetry Club"):
My Corpse
When I dragged you out of the river
you were still a little bit pale and blown up by the water.
Fern wrapped around your hands.
Seaweed and a yellowed shirt.
In spite of that you seemed to be beautiful just a couple of days ago,
filled with life from your head to your toes.
What were their or your questions that escorted you into the water?
What broke into peaces? Or what was simply too beautiful
to be continued to experiencing?
And it was certainly no accident
that water drops on your forehead
cut me like shards.
Perhaps it would not have been a pleasant sight for guests.
You in my room, pale, lying in a bier while decomposing.
You stayed with me, with those rings around your sallow eyes,
you were my quiet eerie pet.
And we danced the dance of death.
And your body was breaking into pieces
like there were waves gnawing at it.
Once there were green fishes mockingly
swimming out of your stomach.
We had been living in that defiant humid room for several weeks.
Then I drowned in you
and my body has been trying to catch the stench
of your decay like a feisty dancing faun,
because it now knows:
You went into the water only for me.
Happy Memorial Day!

"Gone To The Dogs" @ Retail Therapy
Tuesday is an unusual day for an art show opening. But I'll go in either way. Jamie took the pictures for the "PV adventure section" of the Hindsight book.
Retail Therapy’s art show this month has “gone to the dogs”. Two women with
a passion for pets have combined forces to bring you Seattle’s best pet
photography and pop animal paintings. Not your standard cheesy posed
portraiture of dogs with bows in their hair, these paintings and photographs
are in a class of their own.
There will be an artist's reception with wine and nibblies at the Retail
Therapy gallery on Tuesday June 1st from 8-10pm, and the show runs through
July 4th.
The artists:
Jamie Pflughoeft is the owner of Cowbelly Pet Photography, a local pet
photography business that specializes in photographing pets in their natural
environments.
Jamie’s innate skill photographing animals is honed regularly during her day
job as a dogwalker. She has amassed hundreds of images, and will be showing
25-28 new images at Retail Therapy during the month of June. Photographs
will be in both black and white ! and color, in 8.5x11 and 11x14 sizes, and
range in price between $45-$85 framed.
Each photo will have a little story about the dog or cat to make viewing
more engaging and interesting. She'll also have samples of her popular new
Decopaw art in her portfolio- just ask and she'll show you. If you can't
wait until the show to see it go to www.cowbellyproofs.smugmug.com.
Shai Steiner is a talented painter who paints graphic portraits of animals,
(dogs, cats and horses especially), using the acrylic medium on canvas.
Shai’s work boldly combines her two passions: animals and art, using a
graphic design background that is evidenced in her painting style. In her
series "Animals In Primary" she limits herself to using only primary colors
in her palette. The bright colors truly create a cheerful reflection of each
animal’s personality.
Shai will have about 5-6 paintings ranging in size from 20x16 to 36x48.
Prices will range from $550 - $2800. Although busy working! on a list of
paintings commissioned by clients, Shai is excited to take a night off and
come to the show.
Shai and Jamie both hope you’ll stop by and ask, "how much is that doggie in
the window?"

Show dates: June 1st- July 4th

Hi,
If it's not too late, would you please add us to your list of events for next week? Thanks!
La Boum!
DJs Les Saucettes invite you to enter the world of 60s French Pop, where hip young actresses, models, and scenesters ruled the airwaves, Ye-Ye was all the rage, and Serge was one very lucky man. At the turn of the 60s, French kids were given their own radio station, Europe 1, and the DIY spirit that wouldn't reach the US until the 70s punk scene prevailed, resuting in raw, edgy pop more on par with today's Thee Headcoatees and Holly Go-Lightly than that of the heavily produced Supremes and Shangri-La's of their time. Join us in celebrating these femme fatales and fey mod playboys and be prepared to twist et chante!
This month features a Go-Go dance contest for prizes. Anyone can participate, and boys are encouraged to enter - the girls could use a bit of eye candy!
