Liner Notes:

We've got this zany notion and it keeps telling us that there's probably much more data out there than what our instruments generally read . That stance makes room for lots of previously tacky-seeming new age concepts to be valid enough to explore and giggle about. If crystals heal people, and I don't know if they do, then maybe we could justify having a more holistic strategy than we would if we were material monkeys. This train leads me to ponder the plane of logic that my mom, Kitty Mrache, exists on. She's a gem stone healer and one of the coziest/loveliest entities I've met, but nothing she says can be heard without either threatening your model of how stuff works or having an allergic reaction to her potent claims. My mom doesn't have crystals growing out of her gut like our stone-woman in the video but she's got a similar guiding wisdom. Her dad and my granddad, Robert R. Coats, was a geologist for the government who looked kinda like our protagonist and he thought really hard about things. I never talked to him much when he was alive, he just read books. Another key topic here is that every time I'm upset, confused, and over-thinking something, I bump my head. When this happens, it feels like I'm being scolded by some force - the mama matrix most mysterious is perhaps my favorite name for it. Maybe a good lens to use for this realm of discourse is an old adage by Charles Fort: "People with a psychological need to believe in marvels are no more prejudiced and gullible than people with a psychological need not to believe in marvels." And just to round it out, here's what the wonderful wikipedia tells us: Regarding the healing properties of certain crystals, gems, and stones: Some crystal healers claim that each living organism has a "vibrational energy system," which includes chakras, electromagnetic fields around the body known as auras, subtle bodies and meridians. By using the appropriate crystals one can allegedly "tune" an energy system or rebalance energies, thus improving well-being due to the vibrations produced by the crystals, according to color, chemical composition, atomic structure and overall physical form. Using the vibrations of the crystals a trained practitioner can allegedly move, absorb, focus, direct and diffuse energy within the body, using the structure of the crystal for the body to emulate. Crystal healing also allegedly gives the body a chance to relax, which may aid in the body’s natural abilities of the immune system. The earliest records of crystal healing come from ancient Egypt. The Ebers papyrus states the medicinal uses of many different gems. Healing with crystals is also recorded in India's Ayurvedic records and in traditional Chinese medicine from around five thousand years ago. Several shamanistic cultures practice crystal healing, including the Inuit of Canada, which was developed more by New Age healers. Some authors of fiction have claimed that crystals can be used as a focal point for magical spells; an idea probably founded on scrying-gems such as John Dee's shew stone. This, and similar, was used by magicians, fortune-tellers, etc. for one of two purposes; to co-ordinate the visionary power or to misdirect the attention of the customer.

They are interested in Virtual Reality, Psychokinetic Energy, Anarcho-Primitivism, Clowning, Cryptozoology, Natural Geometry, Psychedelic Shamanism, and Fruit Sandwiches. They also take part in the group Mangello Tipperary, along with artist Daren Rabinovitch. Their next project is a stereoscopic jungle musical for Devendra Banhart.

  • [...] A most peculiar music video from the group, Grizzly Bear for their track Knife.  Now, I’m unsure of the popularity of the piece of music (I don’t find it very catchy, personally, but as I’ve said before – music is very subjective) but the first part of the music video has some sort of old-fashioned explorer-miner team with a strange geared contraption apparently doing something odd with pink liquids.  The bearded, be-suited, strangeheaded man with his odd invention just struck me as pleasantly Steampunkish.  It gets decidedly less Steampunk after 1:25 however, and significantly more surreal. [...]

  • This reminds me of the golden age of the music video, circa mid 1980s. It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t want to make sense–it creates its own 3+ minute emotional music logic that made the surrealism of those well made music videos so appealing to such a large group of people even though they were some of the strangest and most right brain junk to smatter Night Traxx and Friday Night Videos. Good song too.
