    After waiting for so long, they have nearly matched the model. The FINAL ALIGNMENT OF SATELLITES is inevitable. Something comes over the pilots. A wave of perception rolls over them and they cannot help but be reminded that they are illusory. They are losing the ability to communicate, to act, to be, but THE GRAND SUMMONING has begun. After their consciousnesses have been drawn to the awareness that forms a sphere and are lost within it, it is beginning A LANGUID DESCENT TO EARTH. News anchors livestream its journey. They cannot agree on what it looks like. Worldwide, scientists are debating where it came from and how the quantum resonance brought it to us. It bores into the ground where it touches down, a slow drill to the center of our lives. In it, EVERY ATOM IS COMPOSED OF DOUBT and we, in turn, explore it's cavernous depths. It is not malicious, but it forces the collective humanity to confront ourselves. ANTICORONATION arrives, and the world's eyes are wet with tears, it's mouth a large round hole that we are falling into. We've forgotten how we got here and are building an impenetrable walled city filled with factories and human beings sleeping on the cold concrete. It is immediately penetrated and INDUSTRY IS SWALLOWED BY A HOLE IN THE GROUND. I don't remember why I began this account of the end. I don't remember who I am or how I got here. I lost my name and my thoughts. I LOST EVERYTHING MY MOTHER GAVE ME. I think that it wasn't always like this, but the branches growing from God are all I can think of. I think that it isn't supposed to be like this, but the leaves are blooming and I forget. Something thinks that it doesn't have to be this way, but the leaves are wilting and that is all there is. Something is ADMIRING THE SCENERY DURING EGO DEATH and everything is fine until it's not but it is again and always was and will be soon. It cannot know anything because it isn't something. It is a passing thought. Nothing can be known. It is ALL BEHIND THE CURTAINS, now and forever. ... more

Toluca Lake Coldwater, Ohio

What's that? You are tired of the same bits of shredded flesh writhing through your radio and into your ear day in and day out? Well, have I got news for you.
Toluca Lake makes new flesh sounds. DIFFERENT sounds from DIFFERENT flesh. Grab your centipede-friend and head on down to your friendly local music boutique and try a mouthful of Toluca Lake, the only band Jimby himself approves of. ... more
