FLUXLIST: Re: France
I'd love to see a Fluxshow... but French is definitely not my domain. I've been around a lot of foreign tourists lately, and have resolved not to even visit another country without a good working knowledge of its official language(s). I abandoned my studies of French in high school, so I don't think I could pick it up in time for the show. Plus, I live across a considerable expanse of water in the Atlantic Ocean.. ~tGet your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com.
FLUXLIST: Address books abound
Minna, I got my address book in the mail today. The only reason for the delay, however, is that my address changed. Not that I expect much mail-art from Fluxlisters in the next three months, but I thought I'd give my temporary address, then my new permanent(ish) address once I find one. So here it is: Tom Holmes PO Box 88 Hillsboro, NH 03244 This goes for fellow Fluxlister Dan Holmes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as well. My address book cover is lovely, by the way. Who was responsible for the bark-like cover? It's great, but I'm worried if I open it too wide, it'll break. ~tChat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: Click Here

Re: FLUXLIST: Buzzer Pod garden
I can't explain why, or even approach explaination, but I think "Buzzer" is my favorite poem of yours I've read. I really can't say why it appeals to me so much more than the others. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to let you know, since it doesn't help you that much. Oh, well. ~tChat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: Click Here

Re: FLUXLIST:by the by...
Isn't that more like onomonopoea? 'Tinntinnabulate' sounds like a bell, but the word doesn't really look like it. Or is my idea of iconicity off? Coincidentally, Arvo Pärt uses the term to describe his works, post-1970 or so, after his sabbatical. Note the following, borrowed (without permission) from http://www.musicolog.com/: "I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me. I work with very few elements - with one voice, two voices. I build with primitive materials - with the triad, with one specific tonality. The three notes of a triad are like bells and that is why I call it tintinnabulation." -Arvo Pärt Thought that was kinda neat. ~t np: Spoon, "Advance Cassette" (A Series Of Sneaks)Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: Click Here

Re: FLUXLIST: does fluxus exist? a simplistic approach...
My knowledge is limited on these types of subjects, as it is on all subjects, but my impression was that a 'neo-' movement was simply an old movement being done again, eg. neo-classicism. I understood neo-classical music to be similar to classical music, but composed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as opposed to the sixteenth and seventeenth. Does art use different rules than music for terminology? Mind you, I have a primarily music-educated background. ~t _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Re: FLUXLIST: Clear Channels List of Songs with Questionable Lyrics
This list is absolutely appalling; most of those songs have nothing truly offensive in them, and in fact several have positive messages that should be heard, especially at a time like this.

FLUXLIST: Projects
I've been working the past couple weeks to put some music up on the Net. I have limited resources, so my only really viable option was www.garageband.com. It streams music via RealAudio. My brother and I have to review about twenty generic pop songs before we can upload anything, so soon we should have our first song uploaded. It will be called The Wheele Goes Round, and it runs about an hour and a half. The fun part is when other unsuspecting pop musicians are forced to listen to it and review it for their own upload credits. I'm looking forward to that. brbrbrYours truly, Tom Holmes, The Master Of Destruction. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
Re: FLUXLIST: Room Enquiry
I'm afraid that I cannot vouch for any alternate plans for the House of Flux. After all, it was built at least thirty years before I was born. I was simply citing a well-known fact, that room 42 did not exist. Also, I've never been to the House of Flocks. It must be very warm, and smell terrible.

Re: FLUXLIST: Room Enquiry
Several possibilities: 1) You may have been eating in room 24. Since the door was closed, the numbers would appear backward to you, if they appeared at all, thus displaying 42. 2) You may have been eating in a room that had been mistakenly marked 42, but was really just a large closet or the like. Whether marked as 42 or not, no room in the House of Flux is truly a forty-second room. 3) The room number may have been obscured by fruit, such as an enormous tomato. 4) You may be playing a practical joke on us. 5) You may have eaten not in the House of 'Flux', but in the House of 'Flax', which of course has a room 42. I have made that mistake myself several times, as they are on the same street and look disturbingly similar from the outside. A clue that could verify this: if your food seemed excessively stringy, you were probably in the House of Flax. Whatever the case may be, rest assured you did not eat in room 42. The builders simply did not build a room 42.

Re: FLUXLIST: the robbery
create a one-exhibit, one-day-only miniature museum in your house. Invite the neighborhood with free admission and refreshments. For an exhibit, make a display of the things that were stolen by putting several numbers next to blank spaces with notes marked, item missing. Put the sandals in an inconspicuous place in the display. -Tom Holmes _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

FLUXLIST: Mr. Stevens' FluxProject
To all in Fluxlist: Hi! My name is Tom, and I'm new to the list. I've been on the digest form for a while, testing the water, and it looks like fun. I hope I don't seem imposing if I offer a piece for Mr. Stevens' new FluxProject. I don't have the poem immediately on hand, but I'll dig it up when I get a chance (the file is on a computer fifty miles away). History: I received a corny poem via e-mail that had been forwarded and responded to several times, leaving it with several layers of these . I used the computer's drag-and-paste technology to mutilate the poem for about an hour. It still evokes the same emotions, and, in fact, is an improvement on the original, in my opinion. If you are willing to accept it at least for review, thank you, I will send it as soon as I get ahold of it myself. Best wishes to all!
