Goat Guts
Top lar thought the english rainmack prevented him from feeling the pink rain, so he sacked it off had a nipper and the nipper got a balloon. Condoms are for dickheads, innit. In a voodoo third world that the missionaries made sane, aids is a problem but the man in rome says don't pack the plastic as god says thats not cool, so more people are contracted and more people make the wee hitler youth poster boys ideal afterlife retreat more crowded and busseling with all of the worlds culture.

Avant Garde
January 1968 to the Summer of 1971 (the age of aquarious and the sexual revolution being in full affect at this time apparently), Ralph Ginzburgs magazine Avant Garde. I would have liked to be about when you could buy this magazine off the shelf. Herb Lubalin was director for a bit and he had a load of illustrators put some pictures in innit. This ones from Tom Wesselman called seascape. 99 with flake and a massive set of wangers. Big wig. September 1966 'The Love Pageant Rally', 1967 Owsley Stanleys, 'white lightning' microdot induced 'Human be-in' and 'The Summer of Love'. The revolution of the mind sponsored by ABC media and forth comes the now clichéd psychedelia poster artists we love or loath.

Atelier Pop
Marching, its not just for trustafarians and swampies to hang out and compare calluses on weathered feet, tips on how to get that natty dread look and talk about their rebellion against their tory heritage, its for real people too. May 1968, everyones screaming revolution, holla it 'sexual!', 'new world order!' or 'nar man o' good stock and fine suit, were all art student wankers and we're not very happy with your elected bully-shit, so heres 10 million of us alongside some other unhappy people to say nar.' I reckon that kind of thing makes for a happy democracy and fuck it sounds like a lot of fun too, so next time i feel things are going a little west i'll hit up to Atelier Populaire and make a big voice on a wall and start a march.
