I have a piece coming on a war documentary the soldier and I are watching and this post is related. The documentary we are watching sticks to actual facts and allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions. Compare that to the freakish piece of film making that is ‘Breach which left the soldier and I both absolutely bewildered.

Breach is a “based on a true story” movie of Robert Hanssen, the FBI man tagged “the worst spy in US history”. He is now in prison for life and spends 23 hours a day in solitary confinement for reasons I have not been able to discover though I’d like to.

It was 1995 and Jupiter was in Sagittarius right about where it is now, when my sister called. She’s an astrologer too. We’ve both studied astrology since we were kids, 8 and 10. That’s a lot of astrology books…

“Get a pen,” she said. “I want you to write down this name.”

Check out Billy Corozon’s new column, AstroPop: The world’s first (and only) astrological forecast told entirely in cd reviews!

Here’s a writing sample:

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
As the sign of poets, bards and other verbal magicians, you are a lover of language, Gemini; As the sign of the twins, you are inherently attracted to and draw energy from duality. As such, nothing is going to suit you better this month than Over The Counter Culture, by Tim Fite (Anti-), which offers a dizzying array of contradictions, with Fite, a white guy known primarily for his inventive but low-key alterna-folk, letting loose a relentless salvo of scathingly political hip hop over fractious, sparse beats and samples. The entire album is an indictment of the co-option and degradation of formerly revolutionary sub-cultures like hip hop and punk by the machine of commercialism, and Fite unsheathes an arsenal of double-edged lyrical blades that slash at his own contradictions in equal measure to corporate culture, all while creating a startling fusion of linguistic subtlety and brutality, profanity and lucidity. Check out the title track featured here and then go to his website to download the entire album for free (no strings attached). Use it this month as a springboard to embracing the contradictions of your own inner lyrical warrior
