Fear not.

When I was a kid there was this guy: Joel Lindellof, lindelloft… i dunno,, he had a record label, a tape label, he lived in the swamp section of town, called froggy bottom i think. His label’s name is unknown to me but they had jolly mortals I think and Brian Campus’ (son of gym teacher Coach Campus) band and there were many tapes out. So many tapes and they were all made by the same 5 gentlemen & big muff. Later people from this went on to RPG or Action Patrol?, or a stones throw… certain massive swords. Joel and I were never friends… I now think that tape label, name unknown, was of great inspiration to the VVN staff… I’m wondering if his copying skills, ability to make copies, was not a key lesson in the making then there. I’m going to do a simple Google search and paste here my findings. I am looking deep into time and real far away place, will you join me on a journey… I don’t think i will find much….

I looked up the jolly mortals and found this video… Whirled records is listed there and I remember that label… but that was not Joel’s…

Error? I don’t know why…

There was story around the school about the Mortals gentlemen requesting all thee members of the band shit into a garbage bag… the band chef then proceeded to make brownies of shit. They cut up these brownies & sent them off to a rival band.

I am going to look up “joel lindelloff + jolly mortals”.

Okay, so his name was Joel Lindelof. I have clicked on a link to an article or someone’s blog…

I have found him. I found out what he is doing now and I know it is him because I recognize another name from his current band based in North Carolina. Raleigh NC, a cherished memory.

“Oh, Hat Contest” (from the Matrushka Series)

A scattered family has gathered at a ski lodge for a getaway. They spread out to rooms at the lodge, some set up their tents. They play games and engage in activities around the grounds… The little sis of the family is spending time with her friend Tink, in their room. Tink has found an aerial photograph of the surrounding area, there seems to be a river flowing nearby. On the second night, the family attend a show about quilts in the Grand Hall, for entertainment… Meanwhile, a few members are missing from the festivities. A son is in the slammer for a crime he committed against another family member, his little brother who died in the crime… A song performed in the quilt show reminds everyone of the bloody times gone by. After the Quilt Play some of the party go midnight hunting and kill a deer with a direct hit. The dead deer falls down the ravine and the hunters hear a splash… The next day they have a contest to see who can make the best hat. A cousin makes the winner, for it expands upward, high into the sky, infinitely, taller and taller, repeating forever… After the contest the whole party follow the aerial photograph and hike to the river, only to discover it has long since been dammed up and is now home to shimmering bars of healthy kryptonite, an invasive species flourishing in the stagnant water.

“Gorge On Sugarcube!” (from the Matrushka Series)

A child’s been sick in the village for too long. His parents have been giving care at home, an herbal remedy, but the child must stay indoors and communicates with his peers only thru letter writing… Word spreads thru the community of a growing pandemic. Debate is underway what to do, who to send to seek medicine or a miracle cure… On the chosen hero’s quest, he unearths an ethnographic video long lost in the storage area of a “monument to suffering.” The video depicts a time of prosperity, joy, and good health. The hero returns with the cure information only to find that news of his quest has sparked competition, amongst the medical community, to heal the village and wipe out the epidemic. Information is spreading and doctors are educating the public about treatment options… A conference for medical professionals is organized in Tampa to discuss various cures.

Moodsis moodsis, i’m trying to write about money. We had a meeting yesterday about our future & that of the recording industry at large & we determined that thru perseverance, greed, the ultimate in sham we can begin working on a new inspirational record. We were playing QC w/ the GHOST AND MRS MUIR and everyone was there and it was a time of great joy and celebration. But what is the first step to new record
