ANOTHER COUNTRY: Stories from Another Country
My shoe is blue and red in the cherries next to the grass giants across the distant goal. In Europe where people live with passion for unusual word games and walk on tiptoe across crossings off of cliffs. We are bored with ourselves but word games never die in Europe.

Chapter Two: passionately birds fly slowly with cucumbers along the beach that is white trash populated by radioactive white trash. Today shit passes within the speed butt hole bowel beautiful trenches brown children in Africa carousing in urban jungles of starry nights at the oasis.

After the math takes an egg hard as a piece of steel eloquently dropping towards silverware and butter floating seawards while beating off to new shores on splatted the horny author. That which the woodchuck chucks shall live by the bird watcher testament of triangles and speaking against the indefinable terror of politicians endlessly making laws.

Beer tastes wonderful and loves me after vomiting with cancerous ulcers of bier drinkers. Flowers smell awful when eaten. However, under some circumstances the scent dies too quickly my flowers cream summer of 2007 and nothing flickers seawards once upon the flower beds’ bees color the sky with honey blood beneath autumn leaves falling. Something kille3d me while gardening by candlelight lit in flames floating seawards, but reerection shall plant people beneath the soil of my hive. Filter me once or twice or hit me with your plumb when I breathe unfiltered flowers, crying softly won’t make honey breath nipples off their bees’ tits.

While making wild sex in the cross road’s summer breeze, I stumbled underneath the tree of eternal life and Eve smoked my big fat cigarettes for hours and apple pie gives me a real pleasure of sensational animal. Throughout the year Adam forces flavorful kisses upon Eve after Christmas, but the snake lecherously watched flickering floral kite blasting nail guns over the garden of god’s playground. Grueling life force sharpens pencils while she found out that her own mother was pencilless and forlorn with anxious penetration. Piss on me from 9 til 10 screamed gramma as she with infinitude passed bowl to her chair on her grove and lonely bedrooms play amorously in total fantasy of beautiful memories of pencil times tropical drinks flavor my goat’s favorite meadow next to the fields where uncle Joe with earnestness used to fuck my most favorite rubber doll. In Wyoming sheep run towards cliffs covered with pieces of pretty white rotten meat, screamed gramma.

FriDay Pome: *dante kicks ted and malena out*
berlin is best for
breaking up; chums with bored disgust aver
they never liked lamented
her: his arrogance; the not so half
to-die-for-ness that he or she
with all love’s dumb
encouragement of self

in smiling scant months upon you
reeved through burning shrouds of
reflected happiness flock once more
in droves to glooms reborn
thick as spinsters to the perfume

ANOTHER COUNTRY: The Extra Room Launch party
The Extra Room is a Berlin-based English language print (maga)zine born of late night walks and Berlin's Landwehrkanal. Or to tweak that equation, it was c-sectioned at the crux of creativity and collaboration. The bastard fruit of the union of two minds, those of editors Mara Goldwyn and Adam Collingsworth, the project came to life in the summer of 2007.

Homepage - MySpace

The first issue's release will be on February 29th, 2008. the extra room, on the extra day. You are invited to the launch party at the Ambulatorium/RAW Tempel in Berlin-Friedrichshain, where there will be music, drink, live art n' culture --- and your chance to get your hands on a copy.

EVENTS: Jowe Head - Live in Berlin
Photobucket
("Pacifiers" by Jowe Head)

Location: Trödler, Dresdenerstr. 123, Berlin (U8-Kottbusser Tor, the little street where the Babylon Cinema and Möbel Olfe is!)

On Friday, February 22, 9:00 PM Jowe Head will be supported by the Incredible Shitty Listener plus the sensational Sister Chain & Brother John.

On Saturday, February 23, 9:00 PM Mr. Head will be supported by Shitty Listener and Kristof Schreuf (Ex-Kollossale Jugend, legendary pioneers of what is now referred to as “Kettcar, Tomte, Tocotronic & Co.” Viele Hamburger Schulen sind nach ihm benannt!)

INFO:
Mister Jowe Head is an artist and a musician from the Midlands of England, now living in east London. Moving from his home town of Solihull, he started his Fine Art training in Manchester in 1976. At the same time he was beginning his musical career with various school-friends, a project that came to be known as Swell Maps. This group emerged in the late 1970s, and are now seen as legendary pioneers of what is now referred to as the “Alternative rock” scene; they set up their own record label and mixed punk rock with experimental psychedelic sounds.

Swell Maps released four singles and two albums in a brief but dramatic career that saw them topping the UK independent charts. When they broke up, Jowe joined Television Personalities who he met as label-mates at Rough Trade Records. Ten years with the TVPs saw Jowe touring with them around Europe regularly, and travelling to Japan and the USA.

At the same time, Jowe was constantly evolving his own visual aesthetic and personal imagery. As well as many solo and group exhibitions in the UK, he has helped to run a community art centre in east London and he also teaches in his neighbourhood. As well as painting murals and designing posters, LP and CD covers, Jowe makes collages, sculpture and clocks using recycled junk and he is also an accomplished print-maker.

Jowe continues to make music and has a new band called Angel Racing Food. He is also a solo performer and recording artist. He continues to develop his eccentric artistic vision and exhibits his art-work internationally.
