chaotic clusters of wires
transmit mankind's monkey-head
nonsense through techno-magic

picking repressed memories'
locks, untangling the demons
hiding behind slammed shut doors

wasted lands accumulate
assorted detritus piles,
withered down by scrabbling hands

introspective reflections
from a plastic society -
am I still real? for how long?

Rojonekku Word Fighting Arts issue II

Second issue of my latest (& greatest) zine now available. Limited edition of 150, with custom haiku in red ink in a box on the back page along with edition number. These can be obtained:
also at resurrected WORKINGMAN ETSY SHOP

You can subscribe (support) at the first link as well, if you so give a fuck, and eventually minus the 3 saved and 15 given as creative tithe to artists I like, all 132 subscriptions will be sold out and wait-listed and you won't be able to get this. But for now, there's a bunch of them laying around under my desk, including copies of issue I still.

In Issue II is the following pieces gleaned from my heart & brain:
  • INTRODUCTION TO ROJONEKKU WORD FIGHTING ARTS II
  • FURTHER THOUGHTS ON ASSASSIN KNOWLEDGES OF RAMMELLZEE
  • YAKUBTIVISM
  • INTERNET TRAPPINGS
  • NEW EARTH WRESTLING
  • ONE THOUSAND FREE NEW WRITING TIPS
  • YAKUBTIVISM CLARIFYING SPRAY PLUS SPACE WHO OWNS IT
  • FREESTYLE SONNETS TRIPLE TRANSLATION FILTER
  • CROW OF CONSTANT SORROW
  • RANDOM NOTE ONE
  • RANDOM NOTE TWO
  • DEDICATION
  • OUTRO MOTION
  • SOME THOUGHTS AT THE ENDISH OF THIS THING

It is quality nonsense gibberish, as always. If you have any questions about the zine, or really about anything, hit me up in the comments.

R.I.P. DJ Screw June 27th Megamix

Because it is June 27th, which is unofficially DJ Screw day, here is a megamix of a bunch of crap off of Screw tapes that I love more just a little bit than all the other crap on DJ Screw tapes. I will still talk a motherfucker's ear off about how Screw was ahead of his time, still so, and a heavily underrated influence not just on hip hop but pop music. So here is:

What is on this: intro/roller skates/crossroads/five minutes of funk/represent the south/recline & shine/sunny dayz/smoke on/world of mine/running the underground/groovin' on a sunday/eazy does it/every year/time/public enemy/posse on broadway/steppin out/loves gonna get you/be thankful.../codeine fiend flow/purple stuff/country rap tune/knockin' pictures off the wall
windows to forgotten worlds
which once were more important
than all else for somebody
