Monthly Residency: Hundred Waters (Week 1)
Posted under: 
For Feburary’s Monthly Residency, Gainesville’s Hundred Waters will be contributing a journal piece every Friday throughout the month.
Select folk,
This is a piece on Jive. It has three parts:
I. An unguarded presentation in pictures
II. Open arms to only the webs’ most exclusive idols
III. Ridonk music there’s really no reason to avoid
Your time is your most valuable asset,
— Harold Walters
Part I:
We just texted the fellow on the right: “should we place your buttocks on PORTALS?” to which he replied “I would be honored”.
We once happened to stay in the same hotel as The Sheep Dogs, and they’re a real big deal. The next day we woke to find their tour bus missing, with a pile of their trash in its place. We eStalked them and found them soundchecking in nearby venue, so we gathered up their garbage, drove it to the venue, walked up in there and delivered it right back to them.
We took individual portraits, after which it became important to combine them into a single Re-Jesus of good intentions.
This is where we got our start: our first tour, when our band was Levek. The van died on the first day so we had to rent a Budget moving van out of desperation. Day and night we lived in the back of the moving van. During the day, we rode in the darkness, groaning and growing slime. At night, we slept together like a pack of feral children in the cold.
Part II:
www.TacticalPhysics.org
each communication addresses another
like here: very generally, english speakers who won’t kill us
(which leaves open all eng speakers, as ya’ll can’t even get at us)
William Erik Michael Kreizner though? he’ll never speak to you.
that’s because he’ll address only the Jacksonville FL within.
while most generally we’d like to remain alive while communicating in english,
most specifically i’d like to communicate directly to William Erik Michael Kreizner
assuming he looks into his site analytics to be led to this message:
“Dear William,
I speak to you as Hundred Waters, an organization best known for its traveling Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed Quality Value Rewards Program. A former impact player of ours, Allen Scott, met you in a cafeteria at UNF and later relayed to us your concepts concerning the physics of battle. We were immediately taken.
We were hoping to use this opportunity to ask if you about your work. Specifically, how did you begin developing Tactical Physics? Was it out of necessity in the battlefield or was it under more objective conditions? The pictures of the equations are breathtaking. Why present so brutal a mathematics in such beautiful, expressionist form? It seems to remark on the intellectual community’s fall from poetry since Gurdjieff. What happened to us?
We would be more than grateful if you chose to use the comments box at the foot of this page to continue this conversation.
Thanks in advance for your informative response,
— Hundred Waters”
O Eht Namuh, perhaps you take us for puppeteered buffoons, fool systems, disheveled jesters in the court of your dark universe. Perhaps you think we are just another Selection of Pretenders tugging on your cool & calculated coattails.
“O Eht Namuh, but we say we can offer you more, for a higher Quality Value. For we have the inexhaustable gift of need. How we toss out our weary arms in frustration! We remain eternally lost. Questions have always scraped at the inside of our heads: Why is all this way? What is answers from? Why we are not Big n Rich? What knew? Why is nuclear?
O Eht Namuh, we have asked all the spectral idols of our miserable race these questions time and again to no avail. Desperate are we, choking beetles on some bone dry moon basin, aimless and dejected. Our need for your council grows with each forgotten morning.
O Eht Namuh, we beg you, on weak and scrape-ed knees, let us, the most insignificant of your shriveled mortal servants, let us absorb your lessons so that we may. Let us return. Let us return. Fuck Mark Morrison. Return us, Eht Namuh. Us.

Part III:
Matmos — “Banquet for King Ludwig II of Bavaria”
This song is fit for a fluorescent royal jig filled with Jodorowsky characters wearing smeared lipstick and moving erratically, a scenario we find ourselves in all too often.
National Pride will swell inside of you while enjoying this sentimental ballad by BJ Snowden. It can be listened to in any corner of our fine country with guaranteed successful results.
This one is actually good.
Brian Eno & Robert Fripp — “Healthy Colours”
The first music we heard from these gentlemen was a compilation called “The Essential Fripp and Eno”. On it is some of the most beautiful music ever heard-”Swastika Girls”, “Evening Star”, etc. At the tail end, though, is the same bizzaro barnyard track played four times in a row. When the album is used as sleep music, this track appears well after you’ve drifted off, helping to cultivate a janky insanity in the subconscious mind.
In 7th grade, PG said “dude, Tray, THIS”, and threw on his flyest Winamp visualizer.
The End.
Monthly Residency: Monster Rally (Week 3)
Teddy’s latest entry features behind-the-scenes photos from his looming art opening.
Monster Rally: Week 3
After a long drive from Cleveland to Manhattan last night, I’m in New York. I’ve just returned from installing all of my artwork in the gallery and the show is tomorrow night! If you’re in the New York area tomorrow night come out to End of Century between 6-9pm for my art opening and live Monster Rally show!
Here are some photos that capture the installation process:
Monthly Residency: Monster Rally (Week 2)
Monster Rally aka Teddy Feighan returns with news of his very first gallery exhibit, as well as an untamable infatuation with Doom and his cartoony persona.
Monster Rally: Week 2
I’ve spent the better part of the past seven days working on and organizing my artwork. I’m going to be showing my work for the first time in New York next week at the End of Century Gallery. The show is going to feature several of my recent paper collage works. In addition to the visual work, I’m going to be playing the opening of the show next Friday (More about the show).
While working on what seems to be endless framing, I’ve been listening almost exclusively to Metal Fingers Special Herbs Volumes 0-9. For those of you not familiar with this instrumental series of productions by DOOM, I would stop whatever you’re doing right now and listen immediately (full albums available Spotify).
One of my favorite things about DOOM is his cartoony villain persona. This, combined with dedicated and talented fans, has lead to some of the best music-related art. Last year for Christmas my fiancé gave me this (below) print of Jason Jagel’s piece, ‘Part of a Complete Breakfast’, which serves as the cover for ‘MM Food‘.
Jagel is one of my favorite artists working today. I love his use of multiple perspectives, geometric shapes, and extremely bold colors. You can really get lost in his work for hours and his book ‘Funshine 73‘ is a must have for your library.

Monster Rally: Week 1
Hello PORTALS readers!
I’m honored to be featured in this months PORTALS Residency. Here’s what I’ve been up to lately:
In August I moved from Columbus, Ohio to Los Angeles, California with my Fiance Kelley and my dog Oscar.
Since moving to LA I’ve discovered so much good food (Pupusas!), seen/played some awesome shows, met some cool people, viewed some incredible art, watched waaay too much Downton Abbey, moved from one end of the city to the other, and put out a new EP. In September I went to the Dublab 10th anniversary show and fulfilled a longtime dream of seeing Peanut Butter Wolf live. The other highlight of the show was Teebs, whose records are always an inspiration. In October, Tim Thompson from Smoke Don’t Smoke hooked me up with my first LA show playing alongside Slow Magic. That dude is crazy.
In November we went on a Starline Celebrity Homes Tour, which I’m not ashamed to admit was awesome. I’m pretty sure our guide had some sort of tick from doing the tour too many times, and would begin everything he said with the words “how many of you know…”. Sometimes this made sense with the tour (i.e.”how many of you know Beverly Hills is a very wealthy city?”) and sometimes it didn’t (i.e. “how many of you know I had an omelet for breakfast this morning?… How many of you know it was pretty good?”).
In the beginning of December I put out an EP with John Hastings (RUMTUM) called ‘Coasting’. In early December I also had the chance to play a show with several great beatmakers in San Diego. One of the best times I’ve ever had at a show thanks to DJ ADAMNT, Zochi, Mystery Cave, and Sasquatch.
Zochi — “Korean BBQ Mix”
For the last three weeks I’ve been back home in Cleveland for the Holidays, seeing family, eating at my favorite restaurants, and drinking too much Great Lakes Christmas Ale. I’ll be back in LA tomorrow.
See you next week!

Monthly Residency: Teen Daze (Week 3)
Due the the impending holiday free-for-all, this will be Jamison aka Teen Daze’s third and final entry as December’s Residency holder. With that said, read through as he shares with us his favorite (or favourite) things of 2012, including his prized cat, the Nation Basketball Association, and a slew of vintage records.
See you next month.
2012: My Year In Review.
Well, not only is it the time of year to spread good cheer, drink hot beverages, and explain to your extended family what it is that you’re doing with your life, it’s also a time of reflection. For the world that we spend our time in (internet) that tends to manifest itself in the way of the oft-polarizing ‘Year End List’. Now, rather than bore you with your run-of-the-mill Top 10 list, I thought I’d give out some personal awards to some of my favourite things of this year. So come along, won’t you!
Cat Of The Year: Ellie
Let’s start off simple here: “Cat Of The Year” is a pretty soft category, mostly because of the fur (I’m here all week). Ellie, the ever-so-needy cat that I spend my time with, takes this year’s award, with strong competition from Geroy, my family cat that now lives with my cousin and her husband. Geroy has a fine record of past COTY victories, but this year was all Ellie. Some highlights include: the time she jumped about five feet to eat a bug, the time she climbed on top of the kitchen cupboards, and the time she snuck into the laundry room and managed to make her way up to the landlord’s office. Great work Ellie!
Surprise Interest Of The Year: NBA Basketball
Basketball was a big thing for me as a kid; both my parents were coaches, and my older brother was always a well-celebrated player for whatever team he played for. But since finishing high school and starting college, my interests shifted pretty significantly. I played throughout my high school career, but once a guy discovers ‘Kid A‘, it’s hard to find a lot of depth in something like basketball. At least, that’s what I thought! Somehow I’ve found myself totally enamored with the NBA this year. I’m watching games, highlights, keeping up TWO fantasy basketball teams. Don’t get me wrong, I still love ‘Kid A’, but it’s been pretty fun to get back into this. Also, without having a hometown team to route for (RIP Grizzlies), I’d just like to say: Go Mavs, Knicks, Thunder, Nets and Celtics. And Raptors…I guess.
Some Of The Best Albums Not Released In 2012:

Thanks PORTALS, and to you for reading! Have the best Christmas, and the happiest New Year!
