DEAR JACK,

WHEN DID YOU FIRST FIND LOVE?

YOUR PAL,
DDB

in college, a young, low self esteem inflicted girl whose father was a psychiatrist (and, thus, as is the case sometimes, she was very messed up). we first had sex in a hotel while Flowers In The Attic was playing on tv. she left me for a fratboy Canadian, the cruelest blow of all. Her parting line: "You are too smart . . . I want someone simpler."

The last time I saw FITA was in a hotel room. Later that day I nearly had sex.

dear ian:

definitely next year! nyc and philly! unfortunately i have to save to go to detroit for christmas (and also SF/Oakland).

just got a package from armageddon: brinkman mixtape, barnacled cd, landed 10", work death cd-r, etc. anne (is it anne?) is sweet as punch.

also, i forgot to mention that my first girlfriend joined an Ayn Rand group and became a hardcore Objectivist for a while.

― jack cole (jackcole), Sunday, 5 September 2004 23:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Anne is totally a treat, fo real. That Landed record is totally killer; I might like the LP more, but that's just perfect--two long jams. Which Barnacled CD did you get? 6? I don't have 6 yet.. I just have one of the tour CDRs they released a long time ago, and the 7" on White Denim. The 7" is one of my fave EPs of recent memory.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 6 September 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i got 6 -- carny jazz with noise flourishes? me likes. i also liked the white denim single too. whats the tour cd like?

― jack cole (jackcole), Monday, 6 September 2004 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

More of the same pretty much! With maritime shoutalong flourishes. But good! email me if you want to trade anyfinn; i've got a couple live shows of theirs recorded too.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 6 September 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

ian, after i get back from seattle let's get a trade going.

TAKING SIDES: THE 24 HOUR CHURCH OF ELVIS vs. THE NEW BAD THINGS?

one year passes...

JACK HAVE U HEARD THIS:

Artist: HALLELUJAHS
Title: Niko Wo Kuraite Chikai Wo Tateyo
Format: LP
Label: Rover
Country: Japan
Price: $28.00
"Hallelujahs were a band led by Shinji Shibayama, during the mid-eighties. This was their sole album, released in 1986 in an edition of 300 on Shibayamas fledgling ORG Records label. ORG went on to release some great records by Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Reiko Kudo and Love Beach (Shibayamas current dream-pop psych band). Musically, pop psych is about as close as Im going to want to get to a description of what they do. Theres something about this record thats hard to get a grip on. It seems to float on layers of melody rather than rhythm, and in places it has an incomparable start of autumn melancholic atmosphere. Subtle, but a grower if you give it enough time. Part of yet another invisible Japanese scene." - Alan Cummings. Highly recommended! This is the remastered, 180 gram vinyl reissue which came out in 1997 in an edition of 500 a few years prior to the PSF CD. Includes obi strip and an insert (with lyrics and newly found photos).

daerest jack coal,

do you live in seattle? do you like it ok? would i like it there?

xx,
caitlin

― caitlin oh no (caitxa1), Sunday, 16 October 2005 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

dear jack cole,

why did you stop drawing plastic man? you were really good.

yours,
j.d.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Sunday, 16 October 2005 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

I like the Hallejuahs a lot, Tim. Low key psych pop leading the way for Maher Shalal Hash Baz and all that. ORG records is probably my favorite scene/label in Japan.

Caitlin, I live in Portland, which I much prefer to Seattle. I was just there for work in September.

J.D., the orginal Jack Cole quit drawing Plastic Man because he wanted to do a comic strip (which was unsuccessful) but wound up doing one panel cartoons for Playboy in the fifties before killing himself in his car.

daer jack cole what do you look like?

i like jack cole

― Jeanne (Tim Ellison), Monday, 17 October 2005 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Jack Cole is much slimmer these days, though no longer the skeleton he had become this time last year. If you are unlucky, you might run into him walking down the sidewalk singing the Thought Criminals' "More Suicides Please" to himself, his eyes rolling back and forth in their sockets.

Tim, what should I do when the punk rockers beat me up at my next show? Should I bring extra syringes and put them into insulin shock when they attack me?

― Luigi Russolo (Grodd), Monday, 17 October 2005 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

Jeez, I don't know, Jack. Just try to be cool and stay away from them, I guess. Are you going to be there by yourself?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Monday, 17 October 2005 22:28 (nineteen years ago)

The Nephews "Funeral at Sea"
-- jack cole (jack_col...), April 12th, 2005.

"Funeral at Sea" was one of our best songs.

dear jack,

are there any aggro punkers left? or did they all get on a boat and sail off across the sea? the last aggro punk i met was like in his early 40s and he didn't like me because i was nice.

stupid elves,
m.

― msp (mspa), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 02:57 (nineteen years ago)

i suspect mostly the grey area between garage rocker and older punker, an audience still unfriendly.

― Luigi Russolo (Grodd), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 04:29 (nineteen years ago)

dear jack,

is grodd your evil twin or vice versa?

jack's son

― Mad SETI (jaxon), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 04:46 (nineteen years ago)

Both.

Have you heard the Welsh Rare Beat comp yet?

Love,
Grodd

― Luigi Russolo (Grodd), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 05:19 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, love the shit out of it. i think someone ysi-ed it at ILM

jack,

you live in portland, eh? should i drive there from SF on my week off? will i buy lots of records? will i get mad bored?

jason

― jaxon (jaxon), Monday, 31 October 2005 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

Portland isnt very fast paced and has decent record stores (and is rainy as hell right now). I suppose if you want something slower, it would be fine. I can give you a little bit of an idea where to check out for the records.

― Igor Adkins (Grodd), Monday, 31 October 2005 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

Jack, do you like Marissa Marchant/have you heard "Emu?"

Your pal, Tim

You don't... like... Steely Dan?

How about Plush? Do you like Plush?

when it comes to the Dan and the Dead, JC draws a line in the sand ... and he dares you to cross it

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 2 February 2006 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

I like Gygax -- isnt that good enough? If you add a C after the Dead then its perfect.

Tim, never heard Marissa. What does she actually sound like?

Someday I have to cajole Stormy into making a Diamondesque tour of his RAWK garden.

― Jack Cole (jackcole), Friday, 3 February 2006 07:45 (nineteen years ago)

I'm still trying to figure out if Marissa is real or not. That may be her ONLY redeeming quality.

Dude,

http://s31.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=03GHS6YK9LSWJ18BK9FSK7CF0H

Emu

Essense of Topiary, splash in the air.
Go down to silken water, cool springs, oh yea.
We're noticing the cloud come, the drizzle here..
Into the blood arising, out of the fear...
And there's nothing in the world to do.
You can understand, it is us falling..

Chorus

He wants to find you, he finds it good,
he'll wrap around you and wish he could.
He'll get to know you, he likes it good.
He'll wrap around you and wish he could.
Don't know how to fail you.

Out of the olive garden, onto the wheels,
you knew the English language-I drive to yield.
You knew less of the language then how to feel.
..searching beneath the surface, into the real..
and there's nothing in the world to do.
You can understand, it is love calling.

Emu, Amour
It's love...
Chorus

Jak, what's the stuff on that Hospital Records Auto Glamour compilation like? - T.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Sunday, 2 April 2006 01:23 (nineteen years ago)

i guess one way to guage if you would like it is if you like the wolverton brothers. but that's just a quick response at 6 in the morning after eating something after waking up with low blood sugar. i'll give you more words later on today.
