a buzz in the machine

Getting to the heart of the matter, the last time I saw Stelarc was in the World Heritage Listed Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne last July.

He had an ear growing on his arm.  That's not in my article, but for real, it was an ear, implanted and about to explode.

I'll keep you up to date.

I've been listening to Captain Beefheart, "Spitball Scalped Uh Baby", he's playing a wild instrument, legend has it given to him by the legendary Ornette.

In 1962 Don van Vliet was still in Lancaster, CA.  Ornette was in NY.
