The
Blizzard King (Bill Drummond, Zodiac Mindwarp & Gimpo)
"We
decided to visit the North Pole with an icon of Elvis Presley - the Blizzard
King.
We would, of course, record the album in Helsinki..."
"The mystic legend the Blizzard King is here. The engineer falls to his knees
and reaches to kiss the King's hand.
To engineer the music of the King is the
greatest honour ever. The aurora borealis flickering around his giant frame.."

poems of Michèle

Anim
Cara (excerpt)
"don't
talk
let me unravel you
instead
let me undo your storms
into soft ribbons of rain
let me
lick your blooded wounds
let me be
your quickening pulse
the shiver of your hand
on the curve of my back
let me be you
again
don't talk
I am back"

"To
politicians, we're little more than meaningless blobs on a monitor.
Politicians have
nothing but contempt for us. Bring on the summer of rage."
Love
always,
