Jimi Hendrix Mark IV

HOLLYWOOD—Jimi Hendrix Mk. IV isn't talking to the media anymore.

Seven years after he emerged from his biomold, the 28-year-old artist is tired of having his purpose in life endlessly debated by critics, managers, record-company executives, lawyers, and even fellow musicians. He knows what he was born to do: play left-handed synth guitar like a man possessed and bring the cold, artificial grooves of his trademark synth-funk to audiences the world over.

"Move over, Rover, and let Mark IV take over" somehow just doesn't do it for me...

I Don't Wanna be Buried in a Pet Sematary

Scientists have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans.

US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years.

Mysteries and Stations by Pavel Chichikov

My friend, Pavel Chichikov, has published a new book. Buy it!

"Good religious poetry—poetry that is truly religious and truly poetic—is a rare and precious commodity nowadays. The spirit of the age works against it. Which in itself makes the appearance of Pavel Chichikov's Mysteries and Stations
in the Manner of Ignatius
a welcome event.

But so, more important, does the quality of these poems. As meditations, whose manner resembles the Ignatian technique called composition of place, they mine the Mysteries of the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross in order to bring forth a luminous iconography of redemption. A sensibility in the tradition of Dickinson and Donne, an eye for vivid imagery, and an ear for the telling phrase meet here in verse that is as much to be prayed as read.”
