The Body - Music? Art? Or, Neither?

So there's this new-ish band called The Body who have a song out called "Song of Sarin, The Brave."

According to the article at http://www.sdcitybeat.com/sandiego/article-10049-the-body-is-all-fire.html,

"The band takes inspiration from some of the world’s most infamous cults, fascinated by their perverse versions of salvation. “Song of Sarin, the Brave” alludes to Aum Shinrikyo’s attack on the Tokyo subway system in 1995, in which members of the Japanese cult used the poisonous chemical sarin to kill 13 people and injure more than 1,000 others. Samples of Charles Manson play over murmurs of noise and a deliberately paced beat: “I have no depth of pain. I have no depth of suffering. I don’t know ridicule.”

In an interview on Youtube, the band states that "initially we sent out to alienate people." Later, they focussed energy into making art rock that creates an atmosphere that is something completely "other." Did they succeed? You tell Patty. This shit is too death-rocky for her - she likes the High Places and Kasabian stuff much better:

Patty'll show you hers if you'll show her yours!

All this talk in the Heidi Ley article about there being 160 books on Manson "and most of them bad" got Patty to thinking. What's in Patty's collection? See for yourself. Apparently she only has about 8% of the available titles:

Taming the Beast, Edward George with Dary Matera: Charlie's old prison counselor tells tales of Charlie's life behind bars up until the early 1990s.
The Family, Ed Sanders: A classic but disliked by purists because the author puts quite the spin on the facts. Patty digs it, though.
Charles Manson Now, Marlin Marynick: A psychiatric nurse from Canada who developed a long distance personal relationship with Charlie in the late 2000's tells all.
Squeaky: The Life and Times of Lynette Alice Fromme, Jess Bravin: THE SQUEAKY BIBLE until she releases her own damn book. JESS IS PATTY'S IDOL. Can anyone get her his email address? Please?
Manson In His Own Words, Nuel Emmons: A great read but also disliked by purists because Emmons edits Charlie's words for "improved coherence."
Trial By Your Peers, by one of the original TLB jurors: Grump sent this one to Patty. It's rare, it's interesting, but IT'S BAD. Grump warned Patty and he was right. Still worth a book report though, so watch for it. Thank you, Grumpy Poo.
Child of Satan, Child of God, Susan Atkins: Great details about her early days in San Francisco.
Will You Die for Me?, Charles Watson: More great details about his time in the desert before fleeing to Texas.
My Life with Charles Manson, ("Little") Paul Watkins: An engrossing read: someone (Patty forgets who) has the kindle version and it's also on line at The Colonel's pad.
Witness to Evil, George Bishop: An early cheap paperback about the trial. Patty has not read it yet but the illustrations are hilarious and definitely worth their own post. Watch for that too.
Manson, John Gilmour: Patty can't remember what she likes about this one, but it was pretty good.
Manson: Behind the Scenes, Bill Nelson: Hilarious! Some good material with some laughably awful fiction intertwined. Patty loves her some Bill Nelson. Except for that child molesting business, of course.
Desert Shadows, Bob Murphy: The Patty's constant companion on their semiannual explorations of Death Valley National Park. Patty is told it's expensive on line, but rumor has it you can get one pretty cheap in Death Valley itself.

Patty also read Mr. Hendrickson's latest, but it is now in the posession of The Evil One. Given her current paltry collection, what should she buy next? She needs some Gorightly and Schreck: these are obviously missing. What else?

Not Mother Mary

A few folks over the months have sent me this picture of a Mary Brunner. Unfortunately she is not THE Mother Mary Brunner. The woman in the photo is 59. Ten years to young.

But great job on armature sleuthing!!

I will share with you what little info I do have on Mary. Mary will be 69 this year.

At some point probably after one of the raids she shipped the son she had with Charlie, Valentine Michael Manson off to Wisconsin for her parents to raise. They changed his name, dropping Valentine and Manson.

Mary also changed her own last name and moved out of WI. As far as I know she has never married or had any other children.

Eviliz Annual New Years Party

The second annual Eviliz New Years party was a total blast. Here is a recap for those of you who couldn't make it. Most of it is a blur to me since I was totally lit up on a cornucopia of pharmaceuticals, but I will do the best that I can.

The Grump was nice enough to be the chauffeur, borrowing RFoster's limousine so we could pick up our overseas friends at the airport in style. Into the limo we packed Fiona, Thelma or Louise I forget which one and HellzBellz who brought the best tulips and weed from Dutchland. The weed gave Patty and I a touch of anxiety but smelling the tulips chilled us out.

Lurch was the doorman to keep out the riffraff and we all giggled every time he answered the bell at the door saying "You rang?". Both Tom's were recruited for bouncers.

Ole J.C. arrived in a dune buggy he hijacked from Robert Hendrickson.

It was great to see Shak El fresh from his Occupy Movement. Last year if you recall The Colonel showed up with Nancy Pitman but this year she is mad at me, so The Colonel came stag.

The first thing everyone did was hit up the bar. St. Circumstance can whip up a mean "Charlie cosmopolitan." Lynyrd and Katie showed up fashionably late but with a keg in hand. Let me tell you, nobody can work a keg like SurfBat. No foam. No kidding.

As we nibbled on hours d'ourves brought by Max Frost and Sodium Penathol, Cease2 showed up with the best Xmas gift I received this year - besides cigarettes - a flat screen TV. Good thing Louis brought his extensive Manson DVD collection which kept us all busy until dinner was served. Hippiechick was the DJ again this year. We danced naked in the moonlight to all the Family albums that HippieKiller brought. Bing let me say, is the best dirty dancer I have ever seen/felt.

Oh, and the menu! Snooproose, Panamint Patty and A.C made us some great vegan dishes. Kill Trout brought ... well ... the trout.

Cease2 set us a lovely table which included the Charlie coffee mugs Adam bought off of ebay.

We finally go to see the front of Starship's head as we gorged ourselves on his famous homemade apple pie. Starship is a cutie and Patty and I felt a little intimidated by him. MaxFrost brought some take out from DiDi's restaurant. Cielodrivecom brought some banging hash brownies and Leary brought the LSD.

As with the pool party this past summer, a few people brought instruments and old Family members. After eating like piggies we took it outside for some music. Clem rocked out with his cock out (as usual) and was joined on mandolin by Kitty (she wasn't Shitty).

Adam G brought his "bongo broads" who jammed out with their clams out. And I as usual, played the skin flute. Everything was groovy until Sandy showed up.

I was so f*cked up by then, and you know Eviliz and Sandy Good - next thing I know she and I are both sending threatening text messages to high schools and companies who pollute the environment.

Matt the watchful eye and defender of Eviliz quickly called Suze the peace maker to ask Sandy to leave. Of course an argument ensued and Suze had to kick Sandy's ass. Thanks to Orwhut and Toocrowdedinthishouse for cleaning up the blood and Sandy's brain matter.

And of course thank you to Stacey. She brings bail money when she rolls with us but this time there were no police or arrests, unlike last year.

Candy and Nuts moonlights as a prison guard at Corcoran. Like last year she smuggled him a cell phone and we all waited anxiously for his call. By midnight I was passed out so Beauders took the call from Charlie.

Charlie and all of us here at Eviliz wish everyone a healthy, wealthy and Happy New Year. Ken has the photos and will be posting more of them soon...

TO ALL OUR FRIENDS

"be always at war with your vices,

at peace with your neighbors

and let each new year

find you a better man"
