Black Box 18 :: Annual Report 2010 (Part Un)

Annual Report 2010 Part Un

Illustrated by Milla Galea

Composed by Simon Saint-Simon

On a wintry and treacherous December 17 2010 Simon Saint-Simon was joined by Harrison Prickles in the overtly comfortable, air-conditioned halls of the Heyward Gallery, South Bank, London. Here in front of a partially live audience they met to discuss the years highlights thus far. However neither expected the dead air that ensued to result in their incarceration. A breif relaxation of the ancient sphinctal libel laws means that a show that was quickly banned can now have the first putrescent corpse of its visi-gogging aired here today now.

Oneohetrix Point Never - Betrayed in the Octagon

Black Box 17 :: Swallows' Pit

Swallows' Pit

Illustrated by Milla Galea

Composed by Simon Saint-Simon

3/3 recorded live at Westminster Road Necropolis. Twilight has fallen upon the terminal dawn and no day to speak of lies crooked between atrium panes. Feathers have been spilled upon lost marble flooring but before these petrifications, a lively August swaying brought to fruit the globular and monal last spits of Simonhain which was accompanied, as is the tradition, by the bearing aloft of chairs, arms and other instruments of love.

This year the females and males played in honour of Dickie Hyde who came northwards to suprise himself square within the pyramid, laid-bare as he was with gauntlets and down-laden with dumb number.

01 Fuck Buttons - Surf Solar
02 Coil - The Snow
03 Sorcerer - Surfing At Midnight (Prins Thomas Miks)

07 John Robie - Vena Cava
08 Pacific and Loverman - From Outer Space (Moxie edits John Cooper Clarke)
09 Omar feat. Stevie Wonder - I'm Feeling You (Henrik Schwarz Remix)

16 Wire - Three Girl Rumba

'Now summer's tumult through sweet clover has been clasped to the hold I ask you, sizzled brethren, to drop your rates, break water, cease your faring and bubble up sotto voce to just touch Saturn's ring of hearts'.

Black Box 16 :: L'Eternel

Illustrated by Milla Galea

Composed by Simon Saint-Simon

2/3 recorded LIVE at the Frog and Nightmare, as part of Chester's 'Simonhain' festivities celebrating the end of summer, the dead and the return home of a heavily corrupt and compromised political careerist who cares not a jot about the Wales he isn't from.

Local bumfunsters 'What Do You Do?' egg-on Simon to loosen the swelling gourd of his glans into the divinely unbalanced ampola of bass bin and tweeter and then leer in character at the salivating throng as they lasciviously ululate at the trough. In a heavy trance this is the midpoint of the rite.

01 Justin Vandervolgen - Better Middlands
02 Village People - Fire Island (Horse Meat Disco edit)

04 Eyeko Syko - Loverde (Horse Meat Disco 'Eyeko Dyko' edit)

09 Todd Rundgren - International Feel
10 Massive Attack - Paradise Circus (Gui Boratto remix)
11 The Crystal Ark - The City Never Sleeps
12 Charlotte Gainsbourg - The Operation (Superpitcher Remix)
13 Ron Hardy - Sensation
14 Ministry - I Wanted To Tell her (Naum Gaubo edit)
15 Moxie - Use Me John
16 C2C4 (Carl Craig) - Specimen 2 (Talking Heads) (Moxie)
17 Radiohead - Reckoner (Nosaj Thing remix)
18 Fuck Buttons - Surf Solar

'...And as the universe was spat out circular, with no legs or feet, so it was St.Simon who tore asunder the annular muscle, passed through the mirror and man-made the mortals dance, in the image of the Olympian gods'.
