The Mixed review is a record of my daily(nightly) readings. I hope it provides a resource for your own projects and projections into the intricacies of our world.

                                                    Brian Jonestown Massacre

                                           It will be at the wonderballroom. (I don't think I'll
                                            go to this $20 is pretty steep, but if you have the 
                                            cash to burn Jonestown is a portland classic.)

The 4th Item of the night is: an excerpt from Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord
2.The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be reestablished. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity, as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation. The specialization of images of the world is completed in the world of the autonomous image, where the liar has lied to himself. The spectacle in general, as the concrete inversion of life, is the autonomous movement of the non-living.


So that's all Folks, hope You have a good morning.
