GTFOOB COFFEE – IT’S BACK!

Dark Matter Coffee is soooo much more than a “bag o’ beans!” Don’t get me wrong – the coffee is something else – rocket fuel and tasty AF – but it’s the people and the vibe that I fuck with: always pushing the envelope and inspiring all of us over at the museum to keep doing it and to PUSH!

I’m not sure when we started our relationship, but it feels good to have these people in our lives and in our hearts, too. So, get the fuck out of bed – feels like we need that reminder these days more than ever – be KIND…….and stop waiting to be discovered – discover yourself!!

PRE-ORDER RELEASE

The Howler: An English Breakfast

The Howler: An English Breakfast is a slow, treacherous dub with a booming bass and unidentified sonic attacks flitting about. Over the top of this is the daunting Genesis P-Orridge, reciting a tale of a debauched castle’s breakfast. The voice of Genesis is enough to cause hallucinations. An absolutely necessary disc.”
— Lex Marburger, Lollipop Magazine

Martin at Illinois State University

Tuesday, March 25 @ 5PM CT
ISU University Galleries

In addition to jumping in to a few classes Monday and Tuesday, I am speaking broadly on all of the ingredients that led up to the crystallization of Chicago as the US-center for industrial music. Of course, Wax Trax! Records, but so many groundbreaking, creative entrepreneurs fed into the ecosystem too; from H-Gun video to Chicago Trax recording, The Alley, Exit, Touch & Go, Steve Albini, FFS, and so much more! I’ll take a quick look at being in London in ’77 during punk and NYC in ’82/’83 as hip hop moved to downtown Manhattan from the Bronx – elements that primed my radar for the situational recognition — and the realization that I didn’t know exactly what was happening in Chicago (for me in 1989), but I knew I was going to parachute into the middle of it!

If you’re local to the area, my 5pm talk at ISU University Galleries on Tuesday March 25, produced in joint effort by the School of Creative Technologies and the Department of Psychology, is free and open to the public. The foundations of the talk are the scenes I mentioned, but ideally, this will be a jumping off point for ideas about creativity, opportunity, community and the power of creative acts. I’m happy to chat and sign any project I’ve been involved with after the talk if you want to bring stuff! See you there!
