Hi,

Firstly, sorry for any lack of contact over the past few days - my PC crashed and I lost all my files and emails.  No, I didn't have a back-up!  Luckily nothing irreplaceable was lost.

Anyway, I writing to you because you've posted on my discussion forum or because we've been in contact sometime in the past (by email or on MySpace or somesuch) and I know you're probably interested in the following:

I've just started a new blog at http://new-media.lazaruscorporation.co.uk which will concern itself with (e-)marketing art (including writing and music as well as visual art) on the web.  

I've blasted out 5 posts to get it started.  It's going to cover using MySpace/Facebook etc to promote your art, get well-ranked in search engines, ways to make a living from your music in the age of free mp3s (without aping the idiocy of the RIAA), self-publishing of written work, micropayment systems, and related topics.  All will be written from the point of view of artists and creators who don't have a budget (as opposed to similar blogs aimed at companies with vast IT budgets and a team of web developers!).

I can't promise to provide all the answers (but maybe you can - comments are enabled on the blog, and long relevant comments are always greatly appreciated!), but I hope to try.  I'm going to be drawing from my ongoing practice as an artist along with my day job (managing a web team for an international publishing company - I've worked as a professional web developer for the past 12 years).

Anyway, get yourself over there and take a look - http://new-media.lazaruscorporation.co.uk

And obviously, please feel free to let anyone else know who might be interested in it!

Cheers,

Paul

Previous report of December 2007


Paul O'Donovan: "Mrs Bhutto 1b"

Hi all,

This has been an active month to start 2008. Interzone Editions has got an official existence, there are some new sites on line, with a new look. This report is now hosted in a new blog/ Interzone news http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/

In the news:
G&C: when the French gendarmes put up their own Interzone :
One of the events of the French scene during the year 2007 is the creation, on April 1st, of the forum "Gendarmes et Citoyens" by a group of gendarmes, to request for being treated like citizens, which is not the case yet in 2007. They have no right to put up professional associations, nor to be on strike, nor to demonstrate. Their work and life conditions are becoming worse and worse: they work more and more without limit of time (between 90 et 120 hours a week), and without being paid more, their flats sometimes are insalubrious, they get bills to pay for home charges since 2004, get punished for expressing their opinions. They do not appreciate the imposed "culture of results" (they are paid and noted in function of the number of the fines they give out) when they basicly are a public service, at the service of the population. The rate of depressions, suicides and accidents is increasing (in January, several died by suicides and accidents), so they are getting fed up to the back teeth to be treated like dummies.

Some of them founded this forum where they call for the help of the other citizens and can express themselves freely, and the result is quite interesting: since april , they have gathered 6916 members who have posted 97181 messages, the site has had 1 103 520 visits (at the time I am writing this, but more when you read it as the list of the members is increasing every day).
They have published a manifesto : "Manifeste pour la pleine citoyenneté des gendarmes de France" (Manifesto for the full citizenship of the gendarmes from France), make post cards, backgrounds, calendars, tee-shirts (lol, this reminds me something, see the reports of the first years of Interzone at Information on Interzone).

The people who express themselves here appear quite different from the conventional images of the gendarmes: beyond the rubric on professional information, the contents is real fun, smart, uninhibited, and the guys there welcome you warmly and behave like real Johnsons.
This forum seems to me the best way to break the clichés on the corporation and is worth being visited and explored. A real antidote to mental barriers.


On the side of French police, similar mood : you can visit the site of the rapper / hip-hop "le Brigadier" in My space and listen to his songs "Je suis un flic", "Instru Place Beauvau", and "Instru Miction impossible".
The army is contaminated as well with the forum Militaires et citoyens, similar spirit as G&C.
Best wishes to all of them for 2008 !

Henri Chopin, June 18, 1922 - January 3, 2008

"Henri Chopin, the founding father of the 20th-century music/art genre known as sound poetry, has died. Sound poetry is a kind of art in which peculiarities and talents of the voice itself are used in lieu of identifiable verses, rhymes or even words. As a pioneer, his passing could be likened to the passing of blues music's Robert Johnson, or Joey Ramone's. Good primers on his work are found here: http://www.erratum.org/""I met him in is Cambrai house near London with Joachim Montessuis, Mrs Helio and Sir David Larcher in 2004, meanwhile a trip in Uk primary to see Throbbing Gristle Re~TG live in Astoria. I remember a young and shining mind making a kind of radical concrete industrials sounds with old school and warm audio-material"

Writing and publishing :

Interzone Editions:
I have asked for ISBN numbers for selling the books I am printing http://www.inter-zone.org/catalbooks.html : my own books and translations, the Taxidermist, French and English versions, and Stella Matutina, French and English versions. After sending the "dépôt légal", I can sell them officially with the label "Interzone Editions", in on line bookshops.

Joshua Berlow: Read my Novel-In-Progress
"The aliens are here. They've been here a very long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariots_of_the_Gods Alien species can disguise themselves as anything. That squirrel outside your window could be an alien. Anyone you've ever met could've been an alien. The Magonians have a higher profile on Earth than the Intergalactic Alliance would like. Species with Interstellar travel capability are forbidden to contact species that haven't yet developed it. Even the Magonian Empire must pay lip service to non-contact, as non-contact is the primary rule of civilized interstellar trade. Unfortunately, the Magonians have come dangerously close to announcing their presence on this planet.A representative of the Intergalactic Alliance (of the Sirian race) has had to enlist the aid of a freshman at the University of Maryland. Although this violates the Intergalactic non-contact rule, the Sirian has gotten permission from his Intergalactic Alliance superiors to make contact, because he needs the help of (one?) Earth human. The Intergalactic Alliance must prevent any more infiltration of Earth by the Magonians, before the Magonians break the non-contact rule and announce their presence on Earth. It becomes necessary for the protagonist to move to New Mexico, where the Magonian headquarters are. A Magonian disguised as a human has founded a UFO religious cult called The Magonians. " http://religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu/nrms/ufos.html

The novel so far contains eight chapters of roughly 4500 words each. When I began writing it I thought of it as a New-Age science fiction story. As more of it got written, I realized that it needs more horror. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/film/2007/08/is_ridley_scott_right_about_sc.html I'm looking for dedicated readers/editors who can commit to critique a novel-length work. If you're interested in this project, please e-mail: romarkin AT gmail DOT comPut "Call for Novel Editors" in the subject line of your e-mail. http://www.joshuaberlow.com/" Joshua Berlow

The aliens are here. They've been here a very long time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariots_of_the_Gods

Alien species can disguise themselves as anything. That squirrel
outside your window could be an alien.
Anyone you've ever met could've been an alien.

The Magonians have a higher profile on Earth than the Intergalactic
Alliance would like. Species with interstellar travel capability are
forbidden to contact species that haven't yet developed it. Even the
Magonian Empire must pay lip service to non-contact, as non-contact is
the primary rule of civilized interstellar trade. Unfortunately, the
Magonians have come dangerously close to announcing their presence on
this planet.

A representative of the Intergalactic Alliance (of the Sirian race)
has had to enlist the aid of a freshman at the University of Maryland.
Although this violates the Intergalactic non-contact rule, the Sirian
has gotten permission from his Intergalactic Alliance superiors to
make contact, because he needs the help of (one?) Earth human. The
Intergalactic Alliance must prevent any more infiltration of Earth by
the Magonians, before the Magonians break the non-contact rule and
announce their presence on Earth.

It becomes necessary for the protagonist to move to New Mexico, where
the Magonian headquarters are.

Que les fidèles lecteurs de Tolkien se rassurent, plus que trois semaines de patience avant de pouvoir découvrir "Les enfants de Hurin" son dernier "nouveau" roman, fruit d'un long travail réalisé par son fils Christopher. Il sera disponible en librairie le 21 février. En attendant, vous pouvez en découvrir un extrait en avant-première sur notre site en cliquant sur le lien suivant:

http://www.christianbourgois-editeur.fr/nouvelles/

En ce début d'année, la Fantasy n'est pas la seule à l'honneur chez Christian Bourgois éditeur. Les amateurs de football sont également servis avec cet ouvrage à la fois original, littéraire et érudit de Peter Esterhazy: "Voyage au bout des seize mètres". Partant de son expérience personnelle et familiale, il opère une véritable plongée dans l'évolution et les enjeux du football au XXè comme un reflet de l'histoire européenne à part entière. Sa finesse, son humour et sa précision séduiront même les moins experts du ballon rond.

Enfin, Cesar Aira est de nouveau à l'honneur au mois de février avec la parution de deux nouvelles traductions: "La preuve" et "J'étais une petite fille de sept ans". A cette occasion il sera en France à partir du 10 février et signera ses livres le 12 février à 19h30 à la librairie "Le Merle moqueur" à Paris et le 13 février à 18h à la librairie "Ombres blanches" à Toulouse.

Le lait de l'ânesse, ca 1994, manuscrit original, détail

Didier Devillez Éditeur

53 rue Emmanuel Van Driessche, 1050 Bruxelles – tél +32 (0)475 931 935 – www.devillez.be – devillez@skynet.be

Une ânesse magnifique est fouettée mollement par un pantin sans visage.Pourquoi ? Est-ce afin qu'elle se repente ? Mais de quelles fautes pourrait bien se repentir une ânesse magnifique ? D'être une ânesse ? De donner du lait ? De saigner lorsqu'on la maltraite ? De vivre ? De faire du bruit en marchant ? De marcher à quatre pattes ? D'être couverte de poils et remplie de
viscères ? De ne pouvoir hennir ? De posséder de longues oreilles mobiles et une tête allongée ? D'avoir une queue qui prolonge l'échine ? Elle tolère un certain nombre de parasites dans sa robe et un certain nombre de vers dans ses entrailles. Le goût de son lait est inimitable.

*

Le repaire des coccinelles est situé quelque part derrière les globes oculaires, dans une obscurité tellement parfaite qu'il devient impossible d'en dénombrer les caractéristiques. Pour sortir de leur cachette, les coccinelles empruntent habituellement le canal lacrymal de l'oeil droit, mais lorsque celui-ci est bouché par les oeufs des mouches, elles choisissent d'accéder à la lumière par un chemin beaucoup plus long.
