beat generation ballads re-remembered

Began as digital sandpit experiment at this very blogspot, now turned into commodity on great University of London Veer label, stored among collection of fave 10" vinyl albums like Sonny boy Williamson's LE GRAND CHANTEUR DE BLUES ET SPÉCIALISTE DE L'HARMONICA "JAZZ CLASSICS" No 17 .
"Hey, wait a moment, there's no wax inside this bleedin' album. No disk. Nowt to download. You call this poetry?", says Mick Weller. "Looks more like blown-up parody of insert booklet stuck inside retro nineties cd to me."

HomeBaking printing of title March, the author realises since first edition July 2010 at least half-dozen modernist female poets entering book's radar monthly. Not counting pseudonyms, Joseph Walton's heteronyms, and other rogue males. And dear departures from earth require birth/death years added.

Questions and answers

20th century electronic revolution in communications taken for granted by anyone using keyboard today to make media - newspapers or blogs like EGNEP's linguistically innovative €#*@$?! Does this mean revolution of productive forces affected historical change in Marxist sense? Was change from hotmetal to electronic progressive for working class?

Was Wapping fight 25 years ago (eg here) just about ownership of means? Laclau argued not and GA Cohen changed his mind from 'yes' to 'no' in development of 'analytical' marxism. In Laclau's case he'd had already begun questioning whether working class were historical actors of change. What are social relations of production in comunications present age. What mean for practising poets? The problem of working class as historical subject in Wappling battle is complicated by Murdoch/News Corporation's ownership of social entertainment media (ie Myspace used by millions including poets like EGNEP).And what about nature of social relations and ownership of Google, Facebook or Twitter? Platform used (eg here) as (almost) second nature? My_____ profile as site of contradiction

bad lettering



Whoever lettered this thing put a stupidly gigantic word balloon on top of a character's face, despite the fact that there's a huge open spot just slightly to the left of where it sits now. And considering that the background looks on close examination like it might be a photograph of a hallway that's been run through a few filters, I think it's safe to say that it could've used a little covering up. Instead, the problem was solved with a transparency, which at best makes Mike here look like some kind of cyborg, and at worst makes it look like we're reading his dialogue through a glass of water.

Either way, it's jarring, which is what bad lettering does: It pulls you out of the story and puts an obstacle between the reader and the content, and considering that "Twilight" has a very good chance of being the first comic a lot of people read, that constitutes a pretty huge problem.
