Nope!

On a pretty much unrelated note, what’s with the Paul Anka and the Frank cut-out, and the disclaimer and all the reviews missing? Hope it’s just a temp thing!!!

It’s an example of web rape. Where’s the rapist? Hmmmm. Somewhere in Laurel Canyon methinks…

Below is a brief explanation:
Semiotics embraced semantics, along with the other traditional branches of linguistics:
semantics: the relationship of signs to what they stand for;
syntactics (or syntax): the formal or structural relations between signs;
pragmatics: the relation of signs to interpreters (Morris 1938, 6-7).

Semiotics is often employed in the analysis of texts (although it is far more than just a mode of textual analysis). Here it should perhaps be noted that a ‘text’ can exist in any medium and may be verbal, non-verbal, or both, despite the logocentric bias of this distinction. The term text usually refers to a message which has been recorded in some way (e.g. writing, audio- and video-recording) so that it is physically independent of its sender or receiver. A text is an assemblage of signs (such as words, images, sounds and/or gestures) constructed (and interpreted) with reference to the conventions associated with a genre and in a particular medium of communication.

So in this context how does this relate to early don and frank listening parties relate to there later output and what did don’s dad’s leftover bunss signify?
If you recall, in Uncle Meat, Don Preston is constantly rearranging different ingredients including a BUN in order to construct a hit single.
Makes sense now don’t it?

Sorry to offend you,R. We, the Belgians are even ready to forgive you for mentioning this minor detail, which was highlighted by the international press when there was no news to be covered.

To the point : in my humble opnion our friend Jamez really understood it. Jamez might indeed be much smarter than you are. OK, he is.

Does it happen to be difficult? No. Why? Basically because it happens to be rather easy.

One clue: “simplify & exagerate”, i e core business in both humour and great art. Amongst others : the FZ & comic strips way. Art.

now let ben fucking watson say something bloody stupid about THAT!

Can you imagine the phone call:

“Hey Don, its Frank. Do you wanna come over and listen to some rhythm and blues records? We could indulge in an early form of maximalist synaesthesia, hell why not, whilst performing the basic tenets of an aesthetic philosophy and way of life which may, at various points throughout the next thirty years, unite and divide our parallel careers as American maverick artists. Sure. I’ve got pepsi…”

Spoo!

Couldn’t have put it better myself!

What is this bull?! They were just having a good time!!

FZ ( sophisticated ) and CP ( so to speak “low” innovating culture ) made a good temporary couple.
For sure: the one’s who discovered this, happen to be Belgians, the mothers of surrealism.
Anyone else? I truly hope so.
