“Forty little monkeys jumping on a building.” A couple of days ago I received an eflux announcment about N S Harsha’s show Tamasha at Berliner Kunstlerprogramm/DAAD. Reading the promotional copy, the show sounds fascinating, referencing Indian and German religious and folk traditions/myths as well as the current problem of “the plague of monkeys in real [...]
So this Wednesday’s dose of other people’s good words and/or good works focuses on Alabama Shakes performing Hold On. This performance on Saturday Night Live has a hold on me. There is some damn fine music playing, but what holds my attention is Brittany Howard. Ms. Howard, who also is one of the bands guitar [...]
Tonight, I give thanks for a small glimpse of a glimmer of patience seasoned a quarter teaspoon taste of self acceptance. Despite being more down than up lately, despite having to conserve my energies and despite spending god/dess awful amounts of time reading genre fiction, mainly fantasy, I have gotten quite a bit of creative [...]
It has been a few days since I’ve written, but today it is easy peasy to post a dose of the Good (and Not So Good) Words. As my faithful and faithless followers know, generally on Wednesdays when I do manage to write I write about the Good Words and/or Good Works of some creative [...]
So here at the Bishop Family Compound, we’ve been outputting like crazy- writing, shooting video for ourselves and for others, performing in a variety of personae, more writing, editing of words (we’ve been procrastinating on the editing of video footage) meeting about art projects, planning for art projects as well as working day jobs and [...]
Editor’s Note: Bishop Bishop kept switching the title of the art piece from “Bucky Bar” to “Bucky Ball,” which is kind of fun, but also annoying. We tried to catch all the switches but may have missed one. My faithful and faithless followers may remember that I, way back in a dose called Not So [...]
As my faithful and faithless followers know, on the Wednesdays that I actually write I most often hold up the Good Words and/or Good Works of creative types. I often offer my own thoughts on the work and once in a blue moon I might be a bit critical. But my primary goal is to [...]
I would have written a dose of the Good (and Not So Good) Words yesterday, I had plenty of thoughts I wanted to share with y’all. But the artist who shares a corporal address with me (and a few other folks- Professor WishUp, Scarlet Azalea, Sheila Claws, etc) needed all of our available writing time [...]
Note to my faithful and faithless followers: Residents of The Bishop Family Compound have been struck down with horrible colds. For a brief while, I thought I might get away with only a minor cold, but the fates, those witches, conspired against me. This meant that yesterday I had about five get shit done hours, [...]
This dose of the Good (and Not So Good) Words is going to take a while because I plan to fold together Ash Wednesday, Valentine’s Day, Vday, violence against women, generational violence, cranes (live and paper) and art. I do not have a pattern, so I am not sure what we will end up with. [...]
