It’s amazing that this crop circle basically ending the 2012 season is still the closest [“legitimate” one] formed to Uffcott down through the years…

… save for this one, also found in the 1st collage of the Gilatona-Lis series set up in the Power Tower Gowlery of Rubi’s VWX Town, most recently.
The Hackpen Hill crop circle pictured above also appears in Gilatona-Lis, starting in Gila 04. I identify it with a 3rd eye cube of some sort, indigo in symbol.
Currently I’m reading through all the Gilatona-Lis posts on this blog, focusing on the interpretations.
Hucka D.:
Go ahead…
bb:
I’m wondering if this Hackpen Hill cube, with its small, hollow interior cubes inverted in respect to the small, hollow exterior cubes, is the same as Mr. Boyce’s cube from The High Octave Story at the end of part 2 of 3, or the middle part? It is indigo at the 7th perspective — sort of explaining my indigo reference above or continuing it.
Focus now will be on England (!!!). Studying crop circles. Will read Edna’s England travelogue asap. Will read my own analysis of Wheeler-Jasper collages from same web site, and maybe Baker Bloch in England material also. I have access to a super cool crop circle database now that allows one to view the circles down through the years on a single satellite map.
I’m also on the outer fringes of another carrcass, to even add a bit more to all the excitement going on in my life right now. I think that was the clincher in giving up the Rubi land… how am I going to mix *that* in with everything else. The initial song involved is “The Lovely Linda” by Mac, his first track from the solo years beyond The Beatles.
Elton and Ursula form LINDA—”London Investigation ‘N’ Detective Agency”—with three others, Bridget, Bliss, and Mr. Skinner, and meet in a library basement to discuss their experiences, but soon their activities become more social in nature. Elton and Ursula become closer through these meetings.
One day, a man by the name of Victor Kennedy comes in and interrupts one of the group’s meetings, and points out that LINDA has lost its cause.

bb:
Marty, we talked to you quite a bit in 2009, I believe, when Carrcass-3 was slowly percolating after the summer creation of Carrcass-2. I assume you know what I mean.
Marty:
As a variant — yes, I know what you mean. We were in Sunklands[ at the time].
bb:
Still miss it Marty… Pietmond and all.
Marty:
Pietmond, yes.
bb:
I’m starting a new carrcass, Marty, and you’re tile #1. “The Lovely Linda”. Can you tell us about, say, the relation with Lemon’s Plastic Ono Band for Billfork, which also uses his track 1 from the post-Beetles career?
Marty:
I can tell you some. I can say that I agree with the tiling process as much as Lemon. Back to basics, that was my mantra[ at the time of McCartney I]. We, the variant band, appeared in WES west of Sunklands (pause). Lennon was shot. (long pause)
bb:
That was a long time ago, now. (pause) Are you familiar with Billfork?
Marty:
Yes.
bb:
I mean the carrcass now.
Marty:
Yes I know. Billfork.
bb:
Do you like Billfork?
Marty:
Yes, very much.
bb:
Did you agree that The Bill had to be called in?
Marty:
Just translating — yes, I agreed.
bb:
But not at the time.
Marty:
No. I didn’t understand how it would all unfold.
bb:
Billfork was something new, beyond SID[‘s 1st Oz]. Then the carrcass beyond that was something new again. Then the carrcass beyond even that was something new once more. The Foreign One. It was big big, so big I couldn’t control it. And the Beatles [Beetles] were right there again. 5 songs, the use of Magical Mystery Tour[ video], and The Rutles [Beatles parody band movie]. Lead Zeppelin and The Beetles acted together, like in the later Carrcass-3. Plant and Marty again.
Marty:
Yes. Zeppelin Tube, I remember. How I remember.
bb:
Do you think Lead Zeppelin is a better variant band than your own?
Marty:
No. Plainly speaking.
bb:
Why not?
Marty:
They lack a sense of humor about themselves — took themselves too seriously.
bb:
But let’s look at The Bill. *All* they do is make fun of themselves and others. One could say there’s no seriousness or *gravity* about any of all that.
Marty:
Yes.
bb:
Lemon liked them, though.
Marty:
Yes. He said: Bring in The Bill. Sure, bring ’em in, baker b.
bb:
“Bring me The Bill”, and all.
Marty:
Yes.
bb:
The influence of The Bill in the carrcasses essentially ends in Carrcass-0, which is often grouped with Carrcass+0 as the ur-carrcass or beginning carrcass, not Carrcass-1 as some believe.
Marty (repeating):
Some.
bb:
They are bookends for this central period of the carrcasses, which contain the largest and most complex of the lot still.
Marty:
Lot.
bb:
Billfork and Carrcass-0 I mean. We have an opening and a closing for that period. Both use Lemon as a primary artist, unique in that respect. Billfork uses Lemon 01. Carrcass-0 uses Lemon 02 04 05. 03 is skipped over. Do you know what I’m talking about?
This is the shared one of the first 5, and then the last two were also shared, 06 and 07 I suppose.
Marty:
Yes.
bb:
Do you think the shared albums are weaker?
Marty:
Most definitely. Don’t you?
bb:
Well, what I’ve heard I think you are probably correct.
Marty:
I mean… well, I won’t go down that road. I think the original idea was the best for the two of them: release 2 solo albums, one with his music and the other with hers. You didn’t have me sharing alternate songs on Band on the Run with Linda.
bb:
Hmmm, I can understand. Lennon started co-writing with Ono, when originally he had *you*. Probably a step down.
“Are you then cancelling the second meeting of the Council of the Sylver Forest, baker b.? I hear you’re thinking about already pulling out of Rubi, or the Rubi Forest environ. Environment?”
bb:
Unsure, Hucka D. Maybe we should just call a meeting about that decision.
Key:
I came back but then I need to go again.
Coke:
Me too. Good luck!
Ratti:
I am taking over. I take over all things. I am the artist of the sim.
Karoz:
Where’s the, sorry…
[delete name]:
Where’s the Korean Channel?
Hybuli:
Not much on mainland any longer, baker b. Sad it comes down to you and me and a handful of others. We’re the last ones standing, almost. I don’t blame you for pulling out. Wait until July and then rent again. You only have…
Hucka D.:
You only have a month until England. And you have so many other projects to do. I’d pull out.
bb:
You too, Hucka D.? Do we have any more opinions? Or any more people back there, period?
Hucka D.:
Only yourself.

4:05:
For now I’ve compromised between giving up my land and keeping it by putting *half* of it up for sale, ratcheting me down to the next tier level (15 bucks cheaper for the month). The Power Tower Gowlery is gone for now. It will come back but I’m not sure if it will be in Tyta. We’ll see if the land sells before tomorrow.
6:52:
One-half is now sold, and the other half is up for sale. I’m simply sick, it seems, of Linden tier, as I was putting it to a prospective buyer. Focus should be on *England*. England England England!
I either do that or start working on a skybox creation. I have to pay 40 more dollars tomorrow or else opt out. Mainland is pretty much a rip off any more with its outmoded tier system.
Or I could just wait til June 06-07 to dump this land, and see what develops in the meantime. I just got here! — maybe the second option is the better plan.
“Since the grey seal is perched on the Power Tower Gowlery, it seems to assoc. one with the other[ is logical], or bring them in line with each other. But the song “Grey Seal” of John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road comes after the title song, with only a shorter song called “This Song Has No Title” between them. And *that’s* the origin of the name No Title Spring that runs alongside Grey Rock and its Seal Stone, down to Whitehead Brook in rainier times. So is the creek that runs alongside most of VXW Town No Title Spring, or the virtual equivalent thereof? Could be Whitehead Brook instead? Could be Little Whitehead. Hucka?
Hucka D.:
You’ve answered your own question, like Ray’s “Dedicated Follower of Fashion.”
bb:
True, I suppose. But really I only posed 3 questions. Now I know you don’t like things that are bunched in 3’s.
Hucka D.:
Never said that. It’s all 3 after all.
bb:
Let’s take each one, because the positioning of the VXW Town creek seems so synchy and sygnificant.
Hucka D.:
If it’s No Title Spring, then like the real version it disappears into the ground before finding a true source. There’s that parallel.
bb:
And Whitehead Brook?
Hucka D.:
Grey seal looks down from Power Tower Gowlery to the brook, like Grey Rock and Seal Stone do with Whitehead Brook [although reversed in direction]. The flow of the virtual creek is more similar to Whitehead Brook in real life, which has more [volume] than Little Whitehead and especially No Title Spring.
bb:
Then what about Little Whitehead?
Hucka D.:
Hmmm… the length may be similar. 128 meters, eh?
bb:
Yeah, one-half of a sim basically exactly.
Hucka D.:
Rock’s Rocky Trail, also compared to this yellow brick road, runs through and past Grey Rock(Seal Stone), like the 2 golden sections of VWX Town’s yellow brick road both point to Power Tower Gowlery and its grey seal from different directions.
“The Yellow Brick Road of Whitehead Crossing is now in your VWX Town. Congratulations. You know that Elton John stepped back from this yellow brick road in his album — the cover — just like you can step back from virtual reality to come back into real reality. Back away from VWX Town.”
But I created the yellow brick road here to lead people more easily to the towering Power Tower Gallery… um, Gowlery. John’s “penthouse” of the lyrics, perhaps. To back away from this gowlery back down the yellow brick road backwards to exit VWX Town is like John returning to the plough of the farm he left, leaving the big city. This big city, then, is VWX Town itself, which at least gives the appearance of a big city because of its numerous skyscrapers, with the PTG being the highest.
Hucka D.:
This has to do with Shared Fantasia and your contribution, which on the audio side include the first 4 songs or tracks of John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, but ending with the 4th track, which is the title song we’ve been referring to.
bb:
Then there’s another yellow brick road on the other side of the Power Tower Gowlery, but in even more disrepair. They are probably part of the same road, these two golden sections.
Hucka D.:
The goldeny Trojan Warrior is another reference to the road. He disappears at 125 125 098 and reemerges at 128 128 098. He disappears inside the eucalyptus tree and reappears in the center of the sim as a whole.
bb:
If VWX Town — Virtual Whitehead X-ing Town that is — is the same or brought in line with the actual Whitehead Crossing, then the yellow brick road takes on new meaning. The grey seal of VWX Town is obviously the Grey Rock of real Whitehead X-ing, as combined with its topping Seal Stone.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Obviously. That’s a mnemonic. Well, not actually a mnemonic. What’s the word I’m looking for?…
bb:
Unsure, Hucka D. But I understand. The grey seal of VWX Town is the same as Grey Rock with its topping Seal Stone. Grey seal in toto.
Floyd and the Rubi Forest or Rubi Woods have been associated since the beginning for me. Key had a picture of Floyd and Barrett in his otherwise almost berift-of-objects second floor of his Rubi gallery at the time. He came to Rubi in July 2007, as I’ve found out. Must figure out how to get his variant, the actual pretend Key, to reinvest in the forest. A map, as Hucka D. reinforced to me — yes, that could be it, along with the same for Coke. Coke must not see the Rubi Forest as just Ordinary Glass.
Hucka D.:
Invite Hybuli to the next meeting. Isn’t that tonight?
bb:
Hybuli being the closest gallery owner when I opened the Power Tower Gowlery the other night, but then he deleted the kiosk as it moved across the internal sea of Heterocera. But for a moment, his was the closest. And of course I know him, especially through another.
Hybuli:
Hi, I thought I’d drop by before the meeting. How’s Chilbo doing?
[5 pages of script deleted]

Further notes (now that that interesting interruption is over!):
The grey snakelet Aspinwall is the same as the Great Linden Wall of Heterocera. An important clue: the first letters of the first three sims the wall passes through, top to bottom, form the acronym ASP (Athetis, Spini, Pyri). Then it enters Ziczac, already blog famous in Baker Blinker’s completed macro-opus. Mystery ship The Arab, passed down through The Wall beginning at Ziczac, creating The Point(of The Wall). It passed underneath the main part, through a passage which is not square but pointed. Then it reaches Rubi, Hucka D., to become SID’s 1st Oz. 26 in 1. The diagonal: Ziczac Zoe. Rubi Forest. Temple. SID’s Temple. The placement of the Edwardston Station Gallery in Rubi opens up Sylver as in Sylver Forest, the past. The Past. Later this manifested as Jeogeot, the Southern Continent.
—–
“How did The Arab pass through The Wall, Hucka D.?”
Hucka D.:
How does anything pass through anything? Luck.
bb:
Is this where Aspinwall changes to Colon?
—–
“Says here in this deleted script, Hucka D., that Aspinwall had changed to Colon by the time The Arab had reached Rubi.”
Hucka D.:
Have you ever seen a ship driven by trees? They’re all *over* the road.
bb:
Hmmm.
Hucka D.:
Have you?
bb:
Yes, maybe. Like the trees overhang the Robin Loop next to my new parcel.
Hucka D. (apparently speaking to someone else offstage):
Oh no you haven’t. There’s 3 there instead of 2. You overcharged me once more!
bb:
Who’s that, Hucka D.?
Hucka D.:
My agent. He’s booked 3 shows for me at once instead of the normal 2. I asked for 2. I ask for multitasking. But not 3.
bb:
Interesting. So… back to the Rubi Woods.
Hucka D.:
I think you should call Hybuli back and apologize to him. How’s he suppose to know about the positive carrcasses?
bb:
All’s I said is that I always had the suspicion that Giant Rat of Sumatra was FT’s greatest work, Hucka D., and he gave me back the usual rigamarole about FT themselves claiming Dwarf as their best. And then he named half a dozen more albums he thought were better than Rat.
Hucka D.:
The Foreign One let the Rat out of the Bag. You saw it once. In the woods. Remember?
bb:
Yes. The trap when I bought the Rubi land along the woods in 2010. Yes, that was obviously something psychic taking place. The thing in the woods knew I would buy the land there. And then Bill might have shown up last night.
Hucka D.:
Yes (!)
bb:
Did the Rat pilot The Arab[ down through The Wall and to Rubi]? It’s obviously quite queer that Hybuli shows up right when I buy the new land in Rubi. It must be the Rat again
Hucka D.:
What else did you say to Hybuli[ to offend him]?
bb:
We talked some about Zappa. We agreed that Lumpy Gravy may be his best work, because Hybuli had read the same stuff as I had about Zappa saying that very thing. So we agreed there.
Hucka D.:
Here’s his story…
—–
SWITCH TO HUCKA D.’s EARLIER CALL TO HYBULI:
“Hell yeah! Bacon… ummmm. Love it.”
Hucka D.:
Hi yourself Hybuli. Must you always answer… well, yeah, I guess you have to answer that way. Do you know Furry Carl?
Hybuli:
He’s here now. What a meeting[ of the Sylver Forest Council] he’s describing! Couldn’t sound more exciting.
Hucka D.:
Is that sarcasm?
Hybuli:
Yeah. He actually only offered me a summer beer. Like always.
Hucka D.:
Figured as such. Listen, baker b. — you know the guy that supposedly *organized* this thing… you know Baker don’t you?… course you do.
Hybuli:
Well, I know of *a* baker. And I know [another delete name].
Hucka D.:
But you and he talked about FT last night at the meeting.
Hybuli:
I was running late because I had to close up the gallery and move it across the sea and all. Bobby Darin, thank you.
So when you arrived I had left, and then Baker was still around. How about [delete name]? Tell me all the gossip.
Hybuli:
I don’t know that person. [another delete name] was with me but he stayed outside. Said something about he and baker had split from each other. Separated at the hip, he said, and laughed. Not sure what that means, but I think it has something to do with the Lion and Tiger of Oz. Wait… (checks script). That’s your line, sorry.
Hucka D.:
Just back it up a bit. Just end with the line you were suppose to end with. Ready… just begin again now.
Hybuli:
Now?
Hucka D.:
Yes, now. Go…
Hybuli:
Not sure *what* that means?
Hucka D.:
Nice emphasis. Ahem, yeah, I think *that* has *something* to do with the *Lion* and Tiger of *Oz*.
END FLASHBACK

Hucka D.:
So you see, he did it to me as well. Tried to double back on me. Trap me in a corner, like you were symbolically trapped by that Rat in Rubi. Ratti.

Music from “Booger Haze”
Options
05-26-2008 07:45 AM
I was just watching my 12 oz. Mouse DVDs (yeah, again) and I noticed that neither of the two piano songs from the episode “Booger Haze” were put in the special features. Does anyone know the titles and artists/composers were for those two songs?
For the record, these are the two songs that Spider plays inside his cave SPOILER! after he kidnaps Roostre SPOILER!

Headburro? (to add mythological depth)
Blinkerton?
—–
Baker:
So we begin. Greetings to all variants present, and thanks for attending the first meeting of the Council of the Sylver Forest.
Keraz:
Call me Key.
Baker:
Thank you Keraz. I will. You were always a champion of the Rubi Forest. Now you know of the larger Sylver Forest in the past.
Karoz:
What is the relationship of the Sylver Forest to the Square Forest of Frank Park?
Baker:
Thank you Karoz. Didn’t see you back there behind Keraz.
Keraz/Key:
Actually I have to go to another meeting. Karoz can have my seat, then, so he can see better and you can see him better and hear him better. Thank you for inviting me, Baker.
Baker:
Um, no problem. No other remarks before you step out?
Keraz/Key:
Only: Good luck!
[Keraz/Key leaves the building. Where is the building?]
Cocoala:
Actually I must leave as well. Must get back to creating my houses. Nice gallery. I prefer landscapes.
Baker:
Yes, I like landscapes too. Sorry we never got around to creating that interview I promised, Cocoala.
Cocoala:
Call me Coke. Yeah, no big deal. Where’s the exit again?
[Baker points to the exit, and Cocoala/Coke exits through it]
Baker:
Hope she can find her way home through the Rubi Forest.
Patsi Rubi:
She doesn’t live there any more. Remember? It’s only you and me. Keraz is gone too. Key, I mean. And I’m…
Baker:
Leaving too?
Patsi Rubi:
I am ill.
Baker:
I remember that.
Patsi Rubi:
I am the forest more than anyone. I am the forest more than you[ for example].
Baker:
Could be. My main chunk of time here was still in 2008. Long time ago. So what happened to the ring of galleries you were going to build around the forest? The Forest?
Patsi Rubi:
Let’s see… Sylver broke me down.
Hucka Doobie:
What does that mean, Patsi?
Baker:
Hi Hucka D. [seeing Hucka’s head emerge from behind where Patsi is sitting]. You know everyone here, I assume. Everyone that’s left.
Hucka D. [ looking around]:
Hi Goodnight Violet [nods to Goodnight]. Hi Barbury Castle [nods to Barbury]. Hi [delete name].
Baker:
Yes, hi to you as well, [delete name]. But Hucka, all the rest you were nodding to were just empty seats.
Hucka D.:
*I* see them.
Baker:
Okay, I’ll just go along with that now. I wonder if you, [delete name], have any comments?
[delete name]:
Questions. What is the Korean Channel?
Baker:
It’s the central shaft of water at the Jeogeot continent, the largest landmass of Second Life as a whole. You know that, don’t you?
[delete name]:
Not really. Or I forgot.
Baker:
Do you want to say anything about the idea of the Sylver Forest?
Barbury Castle [suddenly appearing to Baker in a formerly empty seat]:
Do we get to walk The Diagonal?
Baker:
You *are* real. Well, sure we can do that.
Barbury Castle:
I want to disappear at the one hundred and twenty-five.
Hucka D.:
That’s one-eighth of a thousand to you, Baker. 1:8.
Patsi Rubi:
Yes The Diagonal is nice. I created it. I am taking over, Baker.
Baker:
Well, um…
[delete name]:
The Korean Channel is what?
Hucka D.:
Furry Carl! (Hucka D.’s eyes follow an imaginary person coming into the hall and sitting in another empty seat, an empty seat to Baker.)
Baker:
Does anyone else see Furry Carl besides Hucka D.?
(But then Baker *sees* Furry Carl, and *everyone else* has disappeared.)
Furry Carl:
Merry fucking summer have a beer!

POST MEETING NOTES
That was not a really successful meeting, Hucka D.
Hucka D.:
I enjoyed it. I thought it was great. Wonderful, even. What was wrong with it?
bb:
Well, most of the people left. A lot of the remaining people were *imaginary*.
Hucka D. (countering):
They *all* were imaginary. Are imaginary.
bb:
Delete name was there and not there at once.
Hucka D.:
On off, black white, Zebra.
bb:
The actual place of the meeting was not clarified, even to me.
Hucka D.:
You said it was a hall. The Hall.
bb:
I don’t have a hall. Not yet, I suppose you’re going to add…
Hucka D.:
Not *yet*. (smiles; pauses) So what else disappointed you?
bb:
Nothing got done (!)
Hucka D.:
You were thinking about a map.
bb:
A map of the Sylver Forest, thank you. I think I’ll prepare one for the next meeting. Invite Coke and Key back. Think they’ll like[ it].
Hucka D.:
Barbury Castle said he wanted to walk The Diagonal[ as well].
bb:
Okay we can do that. Don’t know really who that is but we can acommodate him.
Sunklands
