Janus Faced

I have a history with this place.

“Hucka D., we should talk. The Table is being reset. Your lines?”

I keep forgetting that Hucka D. doesn’t usually get up until after sunset. Too bad we don’t have 3 hour days in Real Life. Then again we also don’t have 1 hour nights.

So regarding The Table… we’ve had updates since the summer of 2012, when I was last in what I then called Philo. I’m *pretty* sure why I know I had to come back here. The (virtual) location I’m in, through Baker Bloch mainly, mirrors the place I’m at in real life with the *carrcasses*. We are at a transition point.

So who’s at The Table now? What variants sit around it? Carrcasses 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 10 and also 11 (untaped) have been created since summer 2012. 8-9-10 collectively may be my best work along with Carrcass+1 and Carrcass+2 from the 2006-2007 peak period. What have we learned?

We know that Dr. Blood is the Ray Davies variant. His solo work is in a carrcass now, along with many fine songs from his former group The Kinks, which I consider among the 4 or 5 best rock bands to come around. Dr. Blood takes the form of the Tinman from Oz to naked eyes. He might also be Tin S. Man. (pause). He is 4 men in 1. He is Apeman. He is Tinman. He is Superman. He is Imaginary Man. And it is through the latter guise that he enters variant territory and is allowed to sit at The Table along with…

Roger Pine Ridge
Little Robert Plant Variant
Peter SoSo
Marty & Lemmon

Henry L. Cow has not yet arrived.

Little Robert Plant Variant has recently been seen in a Red Umbrella collage, actually the last one in the gallery and the last collage created by me, baker b. He stares at a metallic giant head in the sky. It erupts like a volcano as Mossman takes center stage on the toy blocks and matches roar with roar. Too bad Hucka D. isn’t here to chat with. He loves this kind of abstract bantering. (pause)

Triumph of the Toys (part 2)

Peter SoSo also makes an appearance — actually several appearances — in the Red Umbrella. He sneaks into “Triumph of the Toys” disguised as a human-like fox (from the cover of the Genesis album “Foxtrot”). Mossman passes by the figure on his way to center stage. Do they have a secret exchange of words or perhaps more? What’s the multi-colored ball or sphere he holds high and proudly?

12:00:

I was just getting my midday snacks and taking my daily walk, and while checking out at the grocery store, saw an older Peter Gabriel staring back at me from the cover of a magazine called [insert name]. I recognized the employed image as one I had saved in a folder on my hard drive…

Notice that the redder lighting of the right side of his head is similar to Plant’s in Triumph of the Toys.

Additional thoughts: Robert Plant becomes an official variant after use of his solo material in Carrcass+6 from almost 10 years back now. Peter Gabriel’s official entry into the same status comes in Carrcass+1 from early 2007. Roger Pine Ridge has an even earlier entrance through 2003’s Quadrospirited. Marty even earlier: Walt SIDney’s Fantasia 2000 (2002). Then Lemmon, let’s see, Lemmon’s status as a variant is probably not established until Carrcass+8 in 2004. Then Dr. Blood (Ray Davies variant) — not until 2013 and Carrcass-9, with his “Imaginary Man” used in that. Henry L. Cow’s entry is not until the future. And don’t we also have the Frank Zappa variant (OWZ still?) at the table? I think we have to, since his Mothers of Invention band was one of the audio heros of Quadrospirited, and Zappa’s solo material has been used extensively in carrcasses. And I’m also thinking at least one of the 4 Bills of The Bill comedy group will eventually sit at The Table. And, yeah, let’s not forget the Chuckster himself: Artie J. Spongeberg. He may be or become a very special variant indeed. All I have to do is use one of his solo tracks in a synch and voila, instant variant; able to co-mingle with the others positioned around The Table.

But what of visual artists? Certainly David Lynch Lunch must be eligible. Queue Brick in a lesser manner (?) Hitchcock (variant name pending). And then what of *actors*. Wouldn’t Jack Nicholson be eligible, I find myself asking myself, since he’s a star in both the last 2 carrcasses?

So let’s get to those: the last 2. These are again called Carrcass-10 and Carrcass-11, with the latter, the last, worked out last August but still not taped (why not???). But according to numerology the numbers 10 and 11 can be reduced to 1 and 2. 10 is the number of perfection. Carrcass-10 is about as perfect a synch as I have. Perfect match, then: number with carrcass. Yet Carrcass-11 is a logical extension beyond this new perfect peak, as the number 11 naturally and logically follows 10 in any lengthier sequence.

To successfully deal with Carrcass-10, we should return to the “6 Weeks of Shining” document, specifically Week 2.
