Jeeez….where have you been?

Ok, so the old ZT has been a bit neglected.  I guess that LogAnarchy and Pat have been as busy since the new year as I have. It has been a crazy few months for me, how about you?

Its 345 A.M. on a Sunday for me.  I am pleasantly  relaxed. I went to see “Alice In Wonderland” tonight. It was good…not great but good. I was more than a little bummed that there was no Tron Legacy  trailer as i had been told…

So you run across some off the wall stuff late at night/early in the AM when youre almost out of it and aimlessly browsing. (I recently heard that “surfing the web” has gone out of vogue in the popular vernacular.) So go here and listen to this song called “S.o.S.” I just found, its kinda cool I think…

Feeling daring? Try this out…its kinda NOT cool…like, for real but with a song called “vampire joe” what do you expect.

So have you been watching this Spartacus show? Wow…its pretty bad ass so maybe you should.

Finally you should go and discover the song  MayDay by UNKLE featuring Duke Spirit on the album War Stories.

***yawn***

time for bed…

Melvins – Civilized Worm

Civilized Worm (right click/save as)

Melvins are one of THE definitive grandfathers of “Grunge” music. Kurt Cobain was their roadie for a while, and the band has had numerous influences on many of the Seattle bands that we still enjoy today. The band never really enjoyed mainstream success like some other Seattle bands, but they were signed to Atlantic Records from 1993 until 1997. They released 3 albums, Houdini, Stoner Witch, and Stag for the label, before being unceremoniously dumped (Atlantic eventually folded anyway).

Melvins formed in 1981 by Buzz Osborne, Matt Lukin, and Mike Dillard. In 1984, Dillard left the group and Dale Crover became the full time drummer (and longest serving member, besides Buzz). Mike Dillard can be heard on the 2005 rarities album “Mangled Demos from 1983). Dale Crover is heard on every Melvins album, beginning with Gluey Porch Treatments. The band has had a rotating door at the Bass position for years. Lukin departed in 1988 to join Mudhoney, after Melvins relocated to LA from Seattle. Currently Jared Warren of “Big Business” is their Bass player.

The sound of the band has changed, somewhat, over the last 27 years. The band started out as punk rock trio, cranking out 1 minute songs that ended, almost as quickly as they began. Some time around 1986, the band slowed down, and became the Sabbath sludge-laden sound that we know and love today.

I’ll spare you a review of the band’s discography, but I will tell you that you must have Ozma, Houdini, Stoner Witch, Stag, and [A] Senile Animal in your collection.

The track I’m sharing with you today, is off of [A] Senile Animal, which is the first album to feature Jared Warren and Coady Willis (of the band Big Business") as band members. They have since released “Nude With Boots” in 2008.

Check out Melvins in the Zune Marketplace, as well as at AmazonMP3.

For those of you that want the CD:

I still love you…..

Forgive Me

There is no definitive version of the Montauk Project narrative, but the most common accounts describe it as an extension or a continuation of the Philadelphia Experiment, alleged to have taken place in 1943. According to proponents, the Philadelphia Experiment supposedly aimed to render the USS Eldridge invisible to radar detection with disastrous results. Surviving researchers from the Philadelphia Experiment met in 1952-1953 with the aim of continuing their earlier work on manipulating the “electromagnetic shielding” that had been used to make the USS Eldridge invisible to radar and to the naked eye, and they wished to investigate the possible military applications of magnetic field manipulation as a means of psychological warfare.

Common versions of the tale have the researchers’ initial proposals rebuffed by the United States Congress due to fears over the potential dangers of the research. Instead, the researchers bypass Congress and receive support from the Department of Defense, after promising the development of a weapon that could instantly trigger psychotic symptoms. The conspiracy theory relates that the funding came from a large cache of Nazi gold found in a train by U.S. soldiers near the Swiss border in France. Proponents allege that the train was destroyed, and all the soldiers involved in the discovery were killed as part of a coverup.

Various conspiracy theorists claim that experiments began in earnest from 1982 through to 1987-1988. They claim that during this time one, some or all of the following occurred at the site. The following claims are entirely unverified:

  • Experiments were conducted in teleportation, parallel dimensions and time travel.
  • On or about on August 12, 1983 the time travel project at Camp Hero interlocked in hyperspace with the original Project Rainbow back in 1943. The USS Eldridge was drawn into hyperspace and trapped there. Two men, Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron both claim to have leaped from the deck of the USS Eldridge while it was in hyperspace and ended up after a period of severe disorientation at Camp Hero in the year 1983 at Montauk Point. Here they claim to have met John von Neumann, a famous physicist and mathematician, even though he died in 1957. John Von Neumann had supposedly worked on the original Philadelphia Experiment, but the United States Navy denies this.
  • A “porthole (portal) in time” was created which allowed researchers to travel anywhere in time or space. This was developed into a stable “Time Tunnel.” Underground tunnels with abandoned cultural archives were explored on Mars using this technique where apparently some kind of “Martians” had once lived many thousands and thousands of years earlier.
  • Contact was made with alien extraterrestrials through the Time Tunnel and advanced kinds of ‘etheric technology’ was exchanged with them which enhanced the Montauk Project. This allowed broader access to hyperspace. Stewart Swerdlow also developed the “language of hyperspace”, utilizing archetypes and glyphs as well as colour and tone, in other words, a “non-linguistic language”, the language of the Creator, that is God itself. However many researchers have questioned the validity of Swerdlow and what he actually did within the Montauk Project.
  • Enrico Chekov, a Spanish-Russian dissident, reported in 1988, after defecting to America, that satellite surveillance captured during the 1970s showed the formation of a large bubble of space-time centered on the site, lending further support to the D1 Base Time Tunnel research. After Chekov shared photographs with a reporter from the The New York Times, his apartment in Manhattan was burgled and the photos were all that was taken.
  • People had their psychic abilities enhanced to the point where they could materialize objects out of thin air. Stewart Swerdlow claims to have been involved in the Montauk Project, and as a result, he says, his “psionic” faculties were boosted, but at the cost of emotional and psychological instability, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other issues, including being programmed with microchips, and also through the use of “psychotronic mind control”. An alien supposedly designed a chair, which an individual could sit in to boost his mental and precipatory powers. A prototype duplicate was given to Britain and put in a facility on the River Thames.
  • The facility was expanded to as many as twelve levels and several hundred workers. Some reports have the facility extending under the town of Montauk itself and interconnected with vast maglev tunnel networks to other “Deep Underground Military Bases”, also known as “D1 Bases”.
  • Nikola Tesla, whose death was faked in a conspiracy, was the chief director of operations at the base (which if they started in the 80s would make him 120+).
  • Mass psychological experiments, such as the use of enormous subliminal messages projects and the creation of a “Men in Black” corps to confuse and frighten the public, were invented there.
