The Demiurge

I guess it depends on what an audience is more inclined to watch, escapism VS. authenticity...

I wonder what today's audience would watch, as the tv has turned to some pretty dumbed down stuff, food shows, reality and talent contests, news that is largely propaganda and passed on as news. I really feel there is a void out there for something as mesmerizing and mysterious as Aeon Flux was. The writing in the end seemed to still have a taste of the exotic, no matter how MTV tried to strain out the unfathomable mysteries it ended up with, and it was poetic in some of it's phrasing.

I wonder if anyone here has ever heard of The Fourth Tower of Inverness. Copied from Wikipedia: It is a 1972 radio drama, produced by the ZBS Foundation. It is the first of the Jack Flanders adventure series, and combines elements of Americana and Old-time radio with metaphysical concepts such as past life regression, Sufi wisdom, Tibetan Buddhism and shamanistic communication with the natural world.

They were written by a guy named Meatball Fulton. Way back when in June 1970, Meatball Fulton moved to Fort Edward, New York to help found ZBS Media, with a focus on producing commercials for various musical acts such as Billy Joel, Little Feat, Jefferson Airplane and Captain Beefheart. After about a year and a half of this, he became bored with writing commercials, and had an uncomfortable experience producing an album for Abbie Hoffman.

I bought a few of the cd's and they are pretty fun to listen to. They sell them on Amazon. I wish Amazon would sell Aeon Flux, be nice to see it out there.

I hadn't heard of the 'Fourth Tower of Inverness' before. Sounds cool :)

I find it interesting that we now have camera's around the cities, just like in Aeon Flux.

Whats next? Maybe anti personnel grass..

The other week I had a riot turn up right outside my door.. Everything unfolded in a great deal of quirky chaos with basically minimal injury and damage. The riot came about basically as a result of the police hoping to anticipate vandalism towards an unwanted supermarket. They came in large disorganized numbers and managed to 'kettle' an ever growing crowd of bemused locals all the way up to the unwanted supermarket. They then made a tactical retreat, leaving an agitated crowd to vent there frustrations on the unwelcome and undefended Tescos. Here's a good report: http://neurobonkers.com/?p=2509

But yeah, I reckon something could evolve out of something like the dance between Bregna and Monica.
