"I began pouring out my pony gear on top Susan who was still prone on the bed. While Dakota was outside getting his things, I climbed into my black Lycra second skin. After a quick brushing out of my tail, Susan wrapped my harness belt around my waist, with the long full tail flowing down my legs. With a glimpse of remorse, I realized that poor Dakota was left to his own devices in getting tacked up, but Susan already had me slipping away – and certainly one pony could not harness another. I recall holding [...]
from Head Heritage : ...the real interesting thing about "Up In Her Room" is that I SWEAR it was Lou Reed's blueprint for "Sister Ray" which came out later in the year. The way it takes a primordial riff and just keeps it going, going, going as the singer rants about sex and drugs as gradually, almost subliminally the instruments get louder and more distorted and the tempo creeps up until by the end you are enslaved to the "web of sound" as [...]
" Hispaniola is a miracle. Mountains and hills, plains and pastures, are both fertile and beautiful … harbors are unbelievably good and there are many wide rivers of which the majority contain gold…There are many spices, and great mines of gold and other metals…" -- Christopher Columbus, report to the Court of Madrid 1492 "They…brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for glass [...]

History tells us that about the year 1090 A. D., the military and religious order or sect of the Assassins was founded in Persia by Hassan ben Sabbat. This diabolical, fanatical, cruel and murderous tribe, although isolated in the mountains of Lebanon, and in the valleys and glens of Persia and Syria became remarkable for its secret murders committed in blind obedience to the will of their chief, and the heinousness of its crimes was bruited the world over. Their numerous acts of cruelty cast dire panic and consternation in the stoutest hearts not only in Asia but in Europe [...]

excerpted from Mike Davis City of Quartz (1990) When Llano's original colonists, eight youngsters from the Young People's Socialist League (YPSL), first arrived at the 'Plymouth Rock of the Cooperative Commonwealth' in 1914, this part of the high Mojave Desert, misnamed the Antelope Valley, had a population of a few thousand ranchers, borax miners and railroad workers as well as some armed guards to protect the newly-built aqueduct from sabotage. Class war and repression are said to have driven the Los [...]
Acid Logic What is a furry? It is simply a person who prefers to have sex with other persons who happened to be dressed up as giant stuffed animals I always knew I was... different. Even as a child, I stood apart from the rest. Some little boys profess a love for the paraphernalia of manhood at an early age, eagerly playing with Tonka trucks or riding about in jazzed up three wheelers. Other young lads dance to a different drummer [...]

Imagine the Buddha reincarnated as a mild mannered, science fiction obsessed architect and you''ll have a easier time understanding the enigma that is artist Paul Laffoley. Laffoley's futuristic blueprints and text covered mandalas take the viewer on a journey to the furthest reaches of metaphysical speculation, bridging consciousness and matter. Stare at one of them long enough and an entirely new cosmos is revealed. As a child, Laffoley dreamt of a strange museum filled with alien life forms and biological machines. These surreal living statues contemplated [...]

From Dominic Streatfield's Cocaine: An Unauthorized Biography Angelo Mariani , who had moved to Paris in 1860 to make his fortune, immediately saw coca's potential and realised that there was serious money to be made out of it…It was fairly obvious that Europeans were unlikely ever to chew coca, so it was up to him to find another way of feeding it to them. He decided to put it in a drink, and soon came up with the perfect medium: wine. Wine had a strong natural [...]
A Weird and twisted tale from San Francisco Telegraph Hill He was a tough, fat, bald guy—a character right out of Hollywood central casting. Back in the early 1950's an itinerant San Francisco journalist, former OSS operative and then Federal Bureau of Narcotics agent named George Hunter White, aka Morgan Hall, was assigned by his boss Harry Anslinger to team up with the CIA. Together they created Operation Midnight Climax. White's assignment: explore and record how a new drug called LSD affects behavior when consumed by unsuspecting male johns in the company of drug addicted [...]
In the eighteenth century it was often convenient to regard man as a clockwork automaton. In the nineteenth century, with Newtonian physics pretty well assimilated and a lot of work in thermodynamics going on, man was looked on more as a heat-engine, about 40 per cent efficient. Now in the twentieth century, with nuclear and subatomic particles a going thing, man had become something which absorbs X-rays, gamma rays and neutrons. It may be that the civil servants of the future will not be accredited unless they first receive a degree in brain surgery. - [...]
"I first went to Nepal in 1970 it was the end of the now famous Hippie Trail that started overland from either Amsterdam or London. Buses full of us would disembark at the end of New Road and to this day this street is called Freak Street. Nepal was a nirvana…marijuana and hashish were legal and sold openly in Government licensed shops…I dreamt in the opium dens of Kathmandu…Cannabis was only illegal to export and if you were caught at the airport you were fined $100 USD and deported on the next flight…" [...]
