JACK KEROUAC
Readings By Jack Kerouac On The Beat Generation
2024 U.S. MONO reissueThe end of a very long day; spent travelling down island on a day trip to Victoria.
Found a couple gems through my day’s adventures, THIS being my favorite one.
I discovered #JackKerouac when I was 14; the first time I read On the Road, and my whole world opened up. I was hypnotized by Jack’s rhythm and language, & it’s been a life long love affair.
Unlike his legendary album with Steve Allen, there is no jazz piano here. No musical accompaniment.
Just Jack alone, reading excerpts from his various writings, and it’s remarkable.
The aforementioned rhythm and language really takes on a different energy hearing it directly from Jack’s mouth.
Smoky jazz clubs, lovers and drinkers, the heartbeats of San Francisco, the infinite and immaterial.
This is my favorite find of the year.

The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg is a 1993 film by Jerry Aronson chronicling the poet Allen Ginsberg's life up to that point, along with his views on death; Ginsberg was in his mid 60s when the movie was first released, and died at age 70. The film has been completed and released a number of times due to changing technologies and world events. The first release of the film was in 1993 at the Sundance Film Festival after which it enjoyed an international festival run and USA theatrical run. When Aronson showed him the film the poet is reported to have nodded his head thoughtfully and said, "So, that's Allen Ginsberg."
After Ginsberg passed in 1997, Jerry Aronson decided to update the ending of the film to include the poet's passing, added a shot of Ginsberg's headstone in New Jersey, and added a new recording of Paul Simon singing Ginsberg's "New Stanzas for Amazing Grace" for the closing credits.

So many of the Beats were assholes, right-wingers (Kerouac, Burroughs), murderers (Burroughs, Lucien Carr), or open pedophiles (NAMBLA member Ginsberg). It is one subculture I mostly cannot get into at all even if young Ben liked some of their poems (mostly Ginsberg) and books. There's only a couple late-period Beats who were explicitly left-wing like Gary Snyder that I actually still enjoy reading and will defend.

Damn. I knew, and then temporarily forgot, that "The Nervous Set" was a beatnik / Beat Generation era (inspired) musical, but I failed to pick up on "The Ballad of the Sad Young Men" being a direct lift from F. Scott Fitzgerald - who, while not a Beat author, can definitely be considered to be a Beat precursor. Heck, the whole Lost Generation was a direct influence, once you see it.
I love finding these interlocking webs betwixt different eras and movements. (And feel a little silly for not catching it sooner.)

"The Center Street Cut-Ups"
"The Center Street Cut-Ups" is the abbreviated title of the latest Third Mind Books original presentation, "HAVE A PLEASANT TRIP... 210 Center Street NYC 1965: the Cut-Up Life of William S. Burroughs," -- crafted with monocle at the ready by TMB founder & Ann Arbor eminence, Arthur S. Nusbaum with the assistance of Joe Provenzano (VP of Operations at Third Mind Books, and Nusbaum's protégé in life and literature).
The focus, here as elsewhere is on WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS -- the Patron Saint-Demon of Third Mind Books -- and even more specifically, on a tranche of documents acquired at auction belonging to the painter, David Prentice. Prentice was a close, personal friend to Burroughs and his Papers document
document a very key time in the development of the Cut-Ups as both a literary technique and original philosophic contribution.The presentation was first delivered at the European Beat Studies Network Conference (ebsn.eu) in Paris, France in September of 2023, and was re-recorded with narration by the author in December of that same year.

Saw this on TV last night. #BeatGeneration adaptations are typically a bit weak, but this really stands out. Much better than I thought it would be. They really caught the feverishness of Burroughs, via cinematic nods to Lynch, Jodorowsky, Fassbinder.

Von allen Seiten auf das Ding einhämmern oder: Danke, Diane DiPrima
KEINE METHODE FUNKTIONIERT, wir müssen alle von allen Seiten auf das Ding einschlagen, um es zu Fall zu bringen. –Diane di Prima, Revolutionary Letter #8
Ich habe letztes Wochenende in einer Kleinstadt in West Virginia einen Vortrag gehalten und eine Lesung gehalten, und bei allem, was in der Welt vor sich geht, brauchte ich einen Moment, um mich auf das Lesen von #Belletristik zu konzentrieren. Wenn ihr euch an die #Krise vor drei Tagen im Vergleich zu den Krisen dieser Woche bis jetzt erinnert, war der US-#Präsident damit beschäftigt, mit anderen Staats- und Regierungschefs der Welt Mutproben zu machen und damit zu drohen, die gesamte #Weltwirtschaft zum Absturz zu bringen. Mein vor dem Haus geparkter Truck war mit Grundnahrungsmitteln beladen, die ich auf dem Weg zum Vortrag abgeholt hatte.Ich habe trotzdem etwas #Folklore gelesen, und ich bin froh, dass ich das getan habe, denn ich brauchte einen Moment der Leichtigkeit, einen Moment, um zu sehen, wie eine Kunstgemeinschaft einer Kleinstadt zusammenkommt. Ich brauche auch die veganen Cupcakes, die jemand für die Veranstaltung gebacken hat. Danach haben wir uns unterhalten.
In den letzten Wochen wurde ich sehr oft gefragt, in der einen oder anderen Variante der Frage: „Was zum Teufel sollen wir tun?“ Ich bin schüchtern, wenn es um Antworten geht, denn was weiß ich schon? Ich bin in dieser Scheiße genauso verloren wie alle anderen. Wenn ich auf zwanzig Jahre Proteste zurückblicke, fühlt es sich manchmal so an, als würde ich auf eine Reihe von Misserfolgen zurückblicken.
Dann wird mir klar: Auf Misserfolge zurückzublicken und daraus zu lernen, ist genau das, was wir tun sollten. Und dann, wenn man das Ganze noch größer betrachtet, wird einem klar: Diese Proteste waren keine Misserfolge.
Wir leben nicht in einer #Utopie, das ist wahr. Wo ich lebe, driftet (oder läuft) die #Dystopie jeden Tag näher und näher. Nichts von dem, was die #Rebellen vor uns getan haben, hat also „funktioniert“, da sie keine stabile, perfekte Gesellschaft geschaffen haben.
Aber nach diesem Maßstab hat auch nichts von dem, was die #Reaktionäre getan haben, funktioniert, denn wir leben nicht in der Hölle, in der wir ihrer Meinung nach leben sollten. Wir leben an einem wunderschönen, schrecklichen Ort voller wunderbarer und schrecklicher Dinge, die ineinander übergehen. Jedes bisschen Sicherheit und Glück in unserem Leben wurde mit der Arbeit und dem Blut sozialer Bewegungen erkauft, die vor uns kamen.
Die #Proteste, an denen ich teilgenommen habe, waren kein Fehlschlag. Die Proteste gegen die #Globalisierung von 1999 bis 2003 waren weitaus erfolgreicher darin, die #Ausplünderung des globalen Südens zu stoppen, als wir damals dachten. Auf einer persönlicheren Ebene war einer der ersten Proteste, an denen ich 2002 teilgenommen habe, für Leonard #Peltier, der diesen Monat aus dem Gefängnis entlassen wird, weil er fünfzig Jahre lang organisiert hat.
Ich habe also letztes Wochenende in #WestVirginia diese Rede gehalten und danach haben wir darüber gesprochen, was zu tun ist. Der Kern, der Kern des #Organisierens, war, dass sie beschlossen haben, sich regelmäßig zu treffen und zu reden. Das war's. Das ist der Kern des Organisierens. Möchtest du wissen, was ich denke, was du tun solltest? Du solltest #Gleichgesinnte in deiner Umgebung finden – einige davon kennst du bereits, andere nicht – und mit ihnen reden. Sprich über die Probleme, mit denen du konfrontiert bist, die Probleme, mit denen du wahrscheinlich konfrontiert sein wirst, und darüber, was man dagegen tun kann.

“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.”

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...

Burroughs 101
This American Life host Ira Glass was never into William Burroughs. Didn't get why people love his writing so much. Then he heard this radio story that changed all that, partly because it wasn't very reverential about Burroughs. For Burroughs 101st birthday, we hear that story.Iggy Pop, the documentary's narrator, begins by listing some of the artists and artistic movements influenced by Burroughs: Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Steely Dan, Kurt Cobain, Lou Reed; punk, heavy metal. We hear from director John Waters on the impact on him of Burroughs' open homosexuality and frankness about sex. Others talk about Burroughs' heroin addiction and obsession with guns and weapons. Burroughs shot his wife to death in what he said was a terrible accident.

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 -

Did you learn anything in particular collaborating with William Burroughs?
The most important thing I learned from him was second person. I did some tours with him, and he was always going [adopts austere Burroughs voice]: “You people. You think that …” He wasn’t talking like a writer does about “I” or an essay about himself. He was talking about “you”, which was very challenging and interesting. He came to clubs because he loved reading and the audience became “you”. It was a fabulous device which I’d never really thought about, but he taught me how to do it.
