Node Pajomo # 16 (zine)

This is a bi-annual,, half- size, cut & paste, black & white, twenty- hour pager zine.  Node Pajomo is dvided in three parts. The first part is contact addresses: sensitive mail art projects, ongoing mail art projects, mail art exchange, postcards exchange, tape traders, zine seeking submissions, zine exchange and collaborations (damned what a list!!!).  The second part is `audio mailart project#2: distance`audio CD. An impressive compilation featuring: Mark Greenfield, Howl In The Typewriter, S/H/A/R/R/P/S, Cold Boiled Dog, Animals Like Earthquakes, Byron, Minimal Frank, John C. Hopkins, Dictation, Mark Sonnenfeld & Erik Disorder, Bruno Gheerbrant, Derelict Mosquito Spontaneity and Thompson. A good collection of various noises/music (to each his own, mind you, I like this). The final part consists of zines and music reviews (there`s a lot of them folks). I adore this cut and paste layout i.e. a nice homemade feel = definitely not commercial stuff. That`s why I started Mastock in the first place. Trying to help the small guy, the fringe artist (and musician) and the independent publisher. Don’t just stand there write Node Pajomo! THIS I COMMAND!!!.  Contact here: Node Pajomo, P.O. Box 2632, Bellingham, Washington, 98227-2632, USA (email: nodepajomo@gmail.com).

Mark Sonnenfeld & Erik Disorder – sonic 26 (cassette)

A sixty minutes long cassette. There`s  audio material exclusively on the first side (24.45 minutes), which is slightly disappointing. I like my tapes, CD`s and DVD`s massive, with tons of material. But then again Erik Disorder is usually harsh , or junk or experimental noise (anyone remember the good old days of FDR tapes?). Whilst Mark Sonnenfeld is experimental poetry mixed with field recordings and found sounds. So I know this is not an easy listening experience (more like a bumpy, hell of a ride) . I think this collaboration was done by mail. There`s a lot of material layered in there: low-fi frequencies, piano, church bells, metal banging, field recordings of unknown origins, various voice samples, found sounds, noisy stuff and experimental poetry readings courtesy of Mark Sonnenfeld (I do recognize is voice). After reading this description it feels like this recordings is a rather joyous, kinda noisy  cacophony. Well, to be perfectly honest, not at all. After repeated listening,  I`d say  this collaboration has strangely meditative qualities. I use this as background music while doing spring cleaning. Good stuff.

TFTTDH part 14

Solo action and thereof part 2

I enter the Montréal Poolroom

It`s really crowded

Man it`s always crowded

Just like The Kinks song

`All day and all of the night`

there`s a line up as usual

but I don`t wait long

The employees are fast here

My turn

Hey Ramesh

Yo Tom

What`s up dude?

Not much

Work like a dog and get paid like a dog

I know

You`ve been drinking Tom?

Well…

Let me guess

You`re still hustling for beers?

Exactly

And now I`m starving bro

What shall it be?

Gimme four hotdogs

Relish, mustard and lotsa coleslaw

Two French fries and a big beer

We don`t sell alcohol dickwad

I know a big ass root beer my man

Coming right up Tom

Here you go dude

Bon appetite

Thanks you senior Ramesh

Keep the change

Merci beaucoup

Hey no problema

I sit down

Next to two vagrants

They seems more intoxicated than I am

Good thing they`ll leave me alone I hope

Man those dogs are delicious

A gourmet meal for the working class hero indeed

I love to put lotsa ketchup on me fries

So they look all gooey and shit

Miam miam and all mine

I`m eating and suddenly

Something attracts my attention

I`m smelling something

Something strong

Something musky

Smells like piss but stronger

More like ammonia

CHRIST THIS IS FUCKING GROSS I`m thinking

Spare a dog for a brother?

What?

I turn around and

There`s this huge black guy standing in front of me

He must be at least six foot eight

He`s a monster 

He`s fucking reeking

And he`s hungry

I just hope he`s not gay and horny

He comes near me

The mere stench

I can`t take this anymore

I`m about to puke

I look at him and say

Hey bro I`m not hungry anymore

Here, have my meal

Thanks man I like you

Good to hear that I`m thinking

I take out a smoke

Give him one and say

For later on my man

WOW!!!

You`re a real brother, brother

I know

Gotta go enjoy the meal

I will thanks again

It`s alright, goodnight

Nighty night

I get out

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH the clean air

To breathe safely again

Feels damn good

I light up a smoke & take a puff

Time to take a cab

How much do I have left?

Oh shit only 10.00$ in my pockets

Can`t take a motherfucking cab

Which means

I have to take the night bus

It`s gonna take forever to go back home

FUCKING SHIT!!!

I cross the street

I`m in front of the peepshows

Open 24 hours a day

Hey guy wanna blowjob?

Say what?

Wanna blowjob honey?

I look around and in front of me I see

This this fat ugly whore

Wearing a black mini skirt with lotsa tattoos

She`s sporting this huge black t-shirt

Which seems to be glowing in the dark

Thinking of it

This is strange indeed

Glowing t-shirt?

I look closely and discover   

HOLLY SHIT!!!!

It`s not glowing

It`s full of  old cum

Like a glazed dark donut

This is disgusting

I`m shocked

She goes out of the peepshow

Grabs violently cock through my pants

And starts to feel it fast

I`m getting a boner

Even if I feel like puking

This is so awkward, I`m thinking

Let`s go inside

I`ll blow you for twenty dollars

Twenty dollars?

Twenty dollars with a condom

Forty without a condom

Not right now babe

I`ll go get something and come back later ok?

Later?

Yes later

You sure?

Of course I am

You`re not gonna disappoint Zelda?

Of course not look at my boner?

Ok then I`ll be waiting inside

Guess I`ll see you then

Ciao babe

I`m walking north

Just to make sure

I`m not in Zelda`s eyesight anymore

FUCKING SHIT!!!

I`m willing to pay her not to give me a blowjob

STD material indeed

I decide to go further north

Before getting the St- Laurent bus

I stop at the corner of Maisonneuve

I`m waiting in line

What time is it?

About three thirty a.m.

And I`m waiting in line for a bus

At this time of night

After about ten minutes the bus finally arrives

I enter, pay my fare

Sit down at the right end of said bus

I`m feeling less drunk

So I start to look around

There`s a huge Latino guy on my right

Six foot nine and about 300 pounds maybe

I see a gay couple in front of me

There`s some drunkards in the front

Minding their own business

There`s a couple of folks

Who exit the bus at Sherbrooke station

I see a small guy sporting a huge blonde Mohawk

Walking towards the back

He proceeds to sit next to me

I`m thinking

This guy seems like trouble

Or is looking for trouble

After a minute or so

He gets up and starts screaming insanities

I WANT SOME ACID!!!

I WANT SOME PUSSY!!!

YOU DON`T WANNA FUCK WITH ME!!!

HEY YOU GUYS ARE GAY!!!

WANNA FEEL MY COCK!!!

I HAVE TO GET OUT AT JEAN-TALON STREET!!!

And I`m thinking

I also get out at Jean-Talon

I`m gonna be stuck with this asshole

While waiting for the other bus

I gotta do something

I gotta get rid of him fast

Now he`s bugging the latino guy

MAMMA LA VERGA CABRONE!!!

I gotta do something or

The Latino will kill him for sure

HEY YO DUDE!!!

JEAN-TALON STATION IS HERE

Thanks man

It`s all good bro

He finally exits the bus

The Latino guy   

Looks at me and starts laughing

This is Beaubien street amigo

I know

Lemme guess you`re exiting a Jean-Talon?

Exactly amigo

I`m Tom

Sanchez pleased to meet you

Likewise I`m sure

You know

You better not meet him at Jean-Talon

He`ll try to kick your ass

I know

It`s ok amigo

We both get off at the same station

I`m going east

Me too

If he comes near us we` ll both kick his ass

I don`t think we`ll need

To do such a thing

Why is that Tom ?

You know what they say

A dog which barks

Never bites

He`s probably

All talk no action

You might be right amigo

I surely think so

Jean-Talon station

Let`s go!!!

Four o`clock a.m.

And we`re still waiting

This is fucking long Sanchez

I know amigo

I got something for both of us Tom

And what is that?

He pulls out

An half smoked joint

Leftovers from last night

Cool

Let`s smoke up dude

This stuff tastes like shit I say

It is shit Tom

Mexican shit that is

Well it`s potent too

I`m starting to chill out

Exactly amigo

FROSTED FLAKES FOREVER SANCHEZ!!!

Yes sir

Our bus arrives

We both enter

Ten minutes later

My stop Sanchez

I`m off

Take care Tom

You too Sanchez

Ciao bro

I exit the bus

The sun is slowly rising

I`m thinking

I`m still drunk

With a full belly

Still slightly stoned

The day is starting

It`s so sunny

It feel good to be alive

Goodnight

Or

Good morning everybody. 

TFTTDH part 13

Solo action and thereof

After a couple of months

Of renting movies every weekend

Drinking by myself

Lack of human contact was setting in

Feeling lonely

BULLSHIT!!!

I was horny like a dog in heat

I needed some action

Some type of gratification

I had to go out

It was a Saturday night

And I didn`t have a lot of money

To spend in fancy places

With a motherfucking cover charge

Might as well go in a dive

A hellhole full of subhumans

Where the beer is dirt cheap

And there`s always something going on

Let`s start the evening with a local lowbrow icon

The P*** Pub

Rumour has it they`re recycling specialists

Recycling leftover beers and food

Maybe that`s why it`s so damn cheap

But then again

It`s a myth

An urban legend

Even though

There`s always a small portion of truth somewhere

In every myth, legend

There`s three things I hate about this place

1- too crowded and too loud

2- waiting in line to drink and piss

3-  anonymous cover charge

no cover charge but

the bouncer at the entrance likes tips

you give him a good one

and there`s no more waiting in line

fucking prick

I give him a five spot

Surprise, surprise

I`m comfortably sitting at the bar

I order a pitcher & light up a smoke

Spare a smoke dude?

I turn around and…

Sitting next to me there`s this white trash looking guy

Wearing a Nordiques t-shirt & cap

With long dirty blonde hair

Here`s your cigarette my man

Let me guess you`re from Longueuil ?

Yes how did you find out dude?

I`m a psychic

For real

Real

WOW!!!

Can you tell the future?

Yes our future will include

Lots of beer drinking and maybe some action

Action?

Suddenly a fight erupts

Action I say

WOW!!!

You`re incredible dude

I know

Anything else you know?

Your mom should have taken a facial

Instead of a creampie

What?

I mean I`m sure you

Have a lot of brothers and sisters

One brother and two sisters

You`re a really good psychic

I know

Well buddy I just finished my beer

And I gotta go

It was nice meeting you though

Likewise I`m sure

We shake hands, I get up, light up a smoke

Then leave

I`m walking on St-Catherine street , going east

It`s nice and warm outside

I`ve been walking for about ten minutes

And nothing in sight

Here`s Musique Plus

And on the other side of the street

There`s Pub bistro Le Courtier

Definitely not dive material

I like the music & the atmosphere though

I get in

WOW!!! The place is almost empty

There`s two guys at the bar that`s all

I look at the time, 21h30 p.m.

Surprising for a Saturday night

I`m thinking

I came in

Might as well have at least one drink

Show respect to the place

Yo Gerry

Yo Tom

Gimme a small Budweiser

Coming right up

Here you go

Thanks man and keep the change

Well thank you kind sir

You`re welcome

I grab my beer

So damn thirsty

I chug it in one shot

Jesus Christ Tom!!!

What?

Fucking pig you chug it in one shot

Well I`m thirsty

So what?

You want another one?

No I`m leaving

Why?

Not your fault bro

But the place is almost empty

I`m bored

It`s alright

Later Gerry

Later Tom

Still walking east on St-Catherine

I arrive on St-Laurent street

DIVE TERRITORY BABY!!!

Let`s see where should I go?

Tavern Alouette?

Been there, done that 

Café Cléopatre

Man,  the strippers are so gross

I should be the one stripping

Bar Salon Midway

Naw too many weirdos

Chez Peters

The only dive with a pool table

Now that`s what I`m talking about

I go in and look around

The place is almost full

I see a decent variety of subhumans here

Slackers

Bums

Prostitutes

Inbreds

Transvestites

And lots of vagrants too

Hey Jay

Hey Tom

Gimme the usual

And that would be

BEER

BEER

BEER

I know but which one?

What`s on special?

Glass of beer for a buck

Cool

Here`s ten dollars

Gimme eight glasses

And keep the change

I sit down near the pool table

For later on I`m thinking

Jay brings me four glasses

Hey what da fuck is this?

I ordered eight glasses not four

Relax Tom

I give you four glasses now

As for the other ones

I left them in the fridge so they stay cold

He says with a smile

Man you`re a regular genius

I know Tom, he says with a grin

I have a shot & light up a smoke

Spare a cigarette darling?

I turn around and

YUCK!!!

What an ugly disgusting old hooker

Toothless

Fat

Floppy breasts

Greasy blonde hair

With the stench

Of cheap perfume & old cum

I feel like vomiting so I give her a smoke

To get rid off her fast

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!

Now she`s sitting next to me

Need a date loverboy?

No it`s alright babe maybe next time

You don`t like girls?

Are you some kind of queer or something?

I`m straight

I don`t need a date now

I`m fucking thirsty

I came here to drink first and fuck later maybe

Ok then

Can I hang out with you?

Sure thing sexy

You think I`m cute?

She said, pleasantly surprised

Indeed

Check my beer and I`m coming right back

Ok

There`s a guy alone at the pool table

Hey yo wanna can I play a game of pool with you?

No problem

Cool I`m Tom and you are?

Ramon

You`re Mexican hombre?

No I`m Salvadorian

Cool

Dos cervesas por favor

Hablo espanol?

Poquito amigo

I know all the bad words dude

Mucho malcriado amigo

Indeed

He breaks

And I clean the table

You`re good amigo

I just got lucky

Play another game Ramon?

Ok

Wanna play for a pitcher of beer?

Sure

I break then sink a couple of balls

Then miss a shot, on purpose

Fucking shit, I say

He plays

Sinks some balls and misses

I do my remaining balls

I won Ramon

I know let me get your pitcher

Nice

Here you go amigo

Gracias

And Jay, at the same time

Brings my four beer glasses

Two for the price of one

Here you go babe

I give her my pitcher

Thanks Tom

It`s alright

Could you keep checking my beers?

Ok

I play some more

Win some more

Every time

I give my pitcher to the hooker

If she could only pass out

I would be able to drink alone

And have some kinda peace

I wouldn`t want to fuck that

Even

If she was the last remaining woman on earth

Well well welll

Will you look at that

She passed out on her chair

About fucking time

I finish my pool game

Collect my pitcher

Light up a smoke & sit down

Hey Jay

Yes Tom

Eight more beer glasses please

Coming right up

Here you go Tom

Four now and four later

Here, keep the change bro

Thanks

It`s alright

I`m sitting down listening to music

Drinking cold beer

Chilling – out

Once in awhile she wakes up

Dazed and confused

Hey babe have some beer

I fill up her glass

She takes a swig and passes out again

I keep drinking

Once in a while she wakes up

And I help her pass out

Soon it`s getting late

And I`m feeling pretty intoxicated

I gotta get out

And have something to eat

Beer always makes me hungry

I get up light up a smoke

As I`m ready to leave she wakes up

Looks at me and says

Tom wanna party?

Sure thing babe let me get more beer

Don`t take too long lover boy

Have a swig sexy I gotta take a leak

And I`ll be right back

I piss, wash my hands, exit the washroom

Look around and she`s passed out again

Lucky fucking me I`m thinking

Good night Jay

Night Tom

You`re not taking your date home

He says with a smile on his face

I wouldn`t want to catch some std

STD?

Sexually transmitted diseases

Oh I get it

Good one dude

Ciao

Ciao Tom

I get out look, at the time

Two thirty a.m,.

The Montréal Poolroom is just next door

Might as well go in

And have a couple of hotdogs.
