CLASSIFIEDS

I was gonna post some nice recent images but my scanner's acting stooopid! STOOOPID!!!!
So here's some oldies, circa 1996. I should print these one day. Or better yet get some wealthy patron to print them. CALLING ALL WEALTHY PATRONS!!!!
I may have put a couple of these ads in laundromats to no response. Perhaps now that I have a real blog on a web that goes world-wide there will be wide response from WEALTHY ART PATRONS! It's on the net so everyone in the world reads it, right? Next they will go on my Twitter right after my post that reads, "Having a dump right now."

Enjoy.

Lately I have been returning to the zine form and have so far made a trilogy of self-help art booklets for a new society entitled Y2K Compatible. Because I am trying to effectively help and communicate with the reader I have kept the prices deliberately low: less than 2 dollars. This is not a profit making endeavour but a matter of making the new world a better place. I offer up SYMBOLS FOR A NEW ERA, NEW FRIENDS, NEW FONTS,NEWER GODS, ETCETERA...

It is available for mail order from here:

In Toronto one can purchase them at:
This Ain't the Rosedale Library
The Beguiling (it is kind of difficult to find amidst all the other booklets so I recommend getting a staff member to find it for you)
Katharine Mulherin Gallery

In Vancouver:

MOODS For The New Industrial State, Sunday, April 5th

Check it out, folks! Press release verbiage follows!

Special "Songs For The New Industrial State" (CBC, 1970) listening session edition of MOODS (w/ artists in attendance)...

In 1970, the CBC commissioned an album by then in-house composer/arranger Doug Randle. Produced by Dave Bird (another CBC veteran), the album featured the top players of Toronto's jazz and studio scenes (some of the best musicians in the world: Peter Appleyard, Guido Basso, Ed Bickert, Arnie Chycoski, Bobby Edwards, Jerry Fuller, Moe Koffman, Russ Little, Bernie Piltch, Doug Riley, Jack Zaza) plus the heavenly vocals of Tommy Ambrose and Laurie Bower. Randle calls the tunes his "bitter & twisted Simon & Garfunkle songs," but more specifically, the socially conscious lyrics dig deep into the unfortunately still relevant themes of wasteful big business, advertising, and environmental concerns.

Join us for an evening celebrating this unsung masterpiece (*yes, it's that good!!!) which has just been reissued on CD/iTunes by Seattle-based Light In The Attic Records (http://www.lightintheattic.net/releases/dougrandle/).

Event: MOODS for the New Industrial State (Songs for the New Industrial State listening session w/ Doug Randle + special guests in attendance)
Date: Sunday, April 5, 2009
Time: 9 pm till late (*listening session at 10 pm sharp)
Venue: The Ossington
Location: 61 Ossington Avenue (1 block north of Queen west on the east side of Ossington)
Admission: Free
*Music provided by Sipreano (aka Kevin Howes, Jamaica-Toronto) and DJ Body Beautiful (aka Robert Dayton, Canned Hamm)...

DJ bios:
Christened by the son of thunder, Sipreano can rock a party with folk songs. Born in the east and raised in the west, he roams our fair country to uncover its little-known sound heritage. He is a curator of sounds, archival materials, and previously undocumented history, as showcased in Light in the Attic Records' six album Jamaica-Toronto reissue series ("Wayne McGhie & the Sounds of Joy", "Jamaica to Toronto", "Noel Ellis", Jackie Mittoo-"Wishbone", "Summer Records Anthology", and "Earth Roots & Water's "Innocent Youths"), Sixto Rodriguez' "Cold Fact" and "Coming From Reality", The Monks' "Black Monk Time", and most recently, Canadian composer-arranger Doug Randle's "Songs for the New Industrial State (CBC, 1970). MOODS will see Sipreano reach deep into his oddball crates to project serious atmospherics, vibes, and provide an emotional deep feeling soundtrack to the week's final comedown.

D.J. Body Beautiful is Robert Dayton, a personality of living flesh and blood. Robert regularly contributes illustrations, features, obits, and quips to Roctober, Cinema Sewer, Free Drawings, Broken Pencil, and $2 Comes With Mix Tape, as well as the books “Lost In The Grooves: Scram’s Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed” and “Nog A Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psychedooolia.”
And as an artist he exhibits fully.
Robert is a performer and songwriter with: hot new Toronto band WET DIRT; melodramatic glitter rock act Hallmark; defunct acid downer folk trio Points Gray; legendary longtime lucidly malleable act July Fourth Toilet; modern song and dance duo Canned Hamm. As an actor Robert Dayton starred in the feature “Male Fantasy” , as 'theatre teacher' in a shelved Hillshire Farms commercial, and appears in the upcoming “Leslie, My Name Is Evil”. Due to his candour he has been a Master of Ceremonies as himself and as other bizarre personae. At MOODS he will console you.
