Buttholes and lawyers: How a lawsuit threatened the indie music model

Electriclarryland, released 20 years ago last month, was the Butthole Surfers’ receipt for years spent cementing their reputation as arguably the most notorious band to ever fall on the pop music radar. Their early shows, where naked women, fire, and inspired experimental noise were all fair game, m

I ‘ve never too much enough attention to Touch & Go Records.

This article os pretty kick ass and make me want go through their catalogue more, although I have already spent a good portion of my life listening to many of these artists.

This is a picture of my father (on the left) from 1955. They look very suspicious of each other. Must be where I get it. #arkind #donttrusttheman #santaclausiscapitolism

Ken Arkind is following me?! Man, how did I not notice this? Does Tumblr still feel like Dubstep to you, Ken?

[kenarkind]

Working on it!

[kenarkind]

Your advice gave me the strength and the power to give the words I needed to get out. I feel like a new person. I just thought about my security blanket I've had since I was born and how the strings must feel the love I pour into in and the tears they have soaked up and I realized how many gifts the universe has given me. I can not thank you enough for everything you have given to me. I wish there was some way I could talk to you and to meet you, I feel there is more that I could learn from you.

I hope I could help. I'm just a weirdo. How are you feeling? I saw your video and it was very sweet. I was a little concerned because you seem to be going through a lot. I apologize for the late reply, I am really bad at tumblr.

[kenarkind]

Your work is so incredible and i'm glad that people like you exist in the world

Thanks. That means a lot. I hope you're eating clouds or something cool and rather magic...or at least have access to a decent swing set.

Ken Arkind - “David” (CUPSI 2014)

[kenarkind]

New poem "David" up on Button Poetry. Thanks.

Ken Arkind leads me willingly to the emotional slaughterhouse.

[kenarkind]

Thanks.

Do yourself a favor and pick this up. It’s available on Amazon. This guy is hella talented.

[kenarkind]

I was wondering if there's a recording floating around somewhere of the "I live you" airplane turbulence poem. I heard you do that one out in portland and it's stuck with me for years, and would like to hear it again sometime (maybe you're coming back to portland sometime?). If not, then I just wanted to tell you that it was a frickin sweet poem that stuck with me for a long damn time, and thank you for helping it exist.

Well, now that you mention it Button just released it. Sorry my reply took so long, as you can tell from the poem this stuff still confuses me. I love Portland and head there a soften as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

hi i dont know if you'll respond to this but thanks for following me back! i watched "david" on youtube just a couple of hours ago and it was, as always, the best of emotional roller coasters. i really appreciate your work.

That means the universe. It's good to hear from you and sorry for the delay, Tumblr kinda terrifies me.  Thanks for stopping by, if this was real life I'd offer you a sandwich.

Reasons why I love him.

Hey man! I just got into slam poetry/spoken word, Well I've been into it for a while but I just started performing at this open mic in New Hampshire called SlamFreeOrDie. I saw your poem God Box in YouTube like a month ago and I watch it almost every day. It's honestly my favorite poem out there. I mention when I go up how your an inspiration and I've always wanted to preform god box even though I'd probably put it to shame haha. I just want you to know I really appreciate your work a whole lot

Thanks man! Manchester in the building! I appreciate it and I'm sure you'd kill the performance but I think it'd be a lot cooler for you to perform your own.

[kenarkind]

Can you explain the story behind "God Box"? Sorry, if you're asked this a lot. I'm just doing a presentation on this piece for a Creative Writing and would love some more background knowledge to share with the class.

Hey Dude.

Sorry its take me so long to respond. Did you already give your presentation?

If not send me a message and we can set up a time to talk.

Sorry about this, I really appreciate you reaching out.
