The Liberation of Western Civilization Begins by Way of Art

Matt the Junglecat (or just plain JUNGLECAT to you newbies) is a Michigan irregular and current Chicago troublemaker (artist) by way of Cincinnati Ohio*. Junglecat dedicated much of the early millennial years as front man, not only of the Gazelles where he honned his pioneering of 'fountain diving' but also later as a member of THE WHITEGIRLS... Then he 'grew up', 'settled down' and infiltrated the jowls of urban life itself with wife and child in-tow.

Now, remade as an urban disrupter, he unveils EXPO CRYPTO into the frey by way of the system itself.  Behind enemy lines and without oversight. Junglecat has become a near mythical Kurtz-like figure amoung the city drones, spires and other concoctions that thinks they are safe.

No ones safe. 

We are at war.

We been at war.

You no longer need your secrets... Liberate them and build new ones.

GOOD TIMES DOWN (Micro-Story)

I love football even though I never really watch it or much-less play it. So I suppose I should just say I love the concept of football... I cant say that I appreciate the game or even remotly understand the particular feel or sprit of the game (I live a non-competative lifestyle) but that's the truth. The real truth of the matter.

The other day my friends and I were seeing how much weight each of us could bench-press... We searched for our max-out weight. Even though I felt as if I could do more, I stopped after lifting the bar once. It weighed 55 lbs. alone. I declared my great feat of strength acomplished and took up residence in a bean-bag chair across the room and resumed my Walgreens store-brand beer drinking. A brand I re-named Ghost Wheel due to the fact that the cans label art features a stand alone water-wheel in the middle of a river not attatched to a visable structure.

You can get a sixer of this Ghost Wheel for $4 and change. Any beer that you can get a six pack for less than six dollars is, as I say, priced to move.

A hard pull of my sixth, and final wheel brings a little escaping splash that lands on my shirt. I rub it in for good measure. A little spilt beer never hurt anything. As per my ritual, the six pack yoke is still connected to beer number six. It tickles my nose and face everytime I take a drink.

This beer will not last forever. The sixth beer of a six pack is the most desperate beer of the whole six pack. The last one. The last beer that brings about the first step to getting more beer.

Thwart...! Chores Playlist Early June 2014

Things are weird around the THWART...! HQ. Call it a writers block or whatever else the kids are fucking calling it, but I just don't really feel like I have anything to say. Sure, I gots loads upon loads of stuff I wanna write about music wise but something is keeping me from reaching a writing apex where things just come easy... So, for now,here is a playlist.

I'm hoping 'music therapy' will kick me back in full gear...
