March 4, 2015 - allison anne is definitely a wise and discerning music fan, especially in the area of musicians and music who have emerged from or been associated with the Eternal Network. allison anne and I had an absolutely delightful and informative online conversation at IUOMA-Ning about Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV and industrial music (if memory serves and it often doesn’t). This inspired me to rant about Genesis’s dealings with William S. Burroughs, Blaster Al Ackerman, Neoism and other related matters that are the stuff of legend and urban legend.

Beyond Tales of Beatnik Glory, I am awed that allison anne is such a fine and accomplished artist. I adore the collage, especially the integration of text and image. I find the band of “silence” across the middle section to be a very powerful statement on a gender-political level as well as on an artistic-self-reflective level.

Deepest thanks to allison anne. I look forward to more exchanges!

Thinking of Genesis P-Orridge, I dug into the archive a while back and found this collage titled “Throbbing Gristle” that appeared in a European zine circa 1980. Genesis P-Orridge is named as the artist on the contents page:

Throbbing Gristle

Things were different then, and Genesis P-Orridge has always represented an extreme anyway, but a really interesting extreme.
