Pop Magic

[JayzusB.Christ]

Does anyone know if there is actually such a book as 'Pop Magic', as advertised by Grant 'You're gonna like it; not a lot, but you're gonna like it' Morrison on his website? Personally, I think he's making it up, but it's hard to tell. 'Chapter Three' on the website, as far as I can make out, has been 'coming soon' for about two and a half years.

I think so far it pretty much exists soleley on his site.

"If", his novel, has been coming soon for aaaaages as well.

If I get the chance I will ask about this on Friday. After I request the return of "Big Dave" of course.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Cheers. I'd like to meet him myself, he seems like an interesting punter (if a bit off his trolleybar).

Have a butchers' at www.barbelith.com; the message boards there might be of help. IIRC Grant said that he'd half-inched a lot of his magic ideas, especially sigils etc., off someone else, but I forget the name...

Or you could write to him at Crack!Comicks...

Not that I'm trying to get you ejected from the meeting but just after the guy in the hunting pink chases him round the room, ask if he'd mind me converting SPERM COUNT into a Big Dave story.

WOuld ya?

Please?

[JayzusB.Christ]

Thanks, J-Bo-1, great stuff. I think he fleeced loads of his ideas off that Psychic Youth thingy (not quite sure what it is myself, but I looked at a few websites about it), which he does acknowledge in fairness to him.

Hes been nicking stuff off of Chaos Magick since Zenith.

[JayzusB.Christ]

What's Chaos Magick? Is is a bit like Khaos Magick?

that Psychic Youth thingy (not quite sure what it is myself, but I looked at a few websites about it)

Sounds like it might be a load of old Genesis P. Orridge's cobblers to me. If it's the same thing.

I think a careful reading of Filth will reveal Sperm Count between the panels... or something.

Is it just me or does this not longer make any sense at all... why I am still buying it? Maybe he is magic. Perhaps a reread under the influence will sort it out.

Oh and I tried one of his spells once. Did it work? Did it bollocks...

POP MAGIC???
this is the lastest craze out of Taiwan.
(which means it will be in the UK in the summer.) its a lollipop with mould holder which can be placed in the freezer and topped up with friut drinks.

sadly if he now trys to get the title published he is likely to get sued by the manufacture of the lollipop. that will teach him to make us wait.

Yeah, pretty much the same group of people - you can find out a bit more at the TOPY (Temple Ov Psychick Youth, fact fans) website...

Filth... Sense...

I'm beginning to get a bit worried here, as the Filth makes perfect sense to me.

Greg Feely is a sad old man with a bit of a porn problem who's cat has died. He is also Ned Slade, officer of the Hand, a secret organisation from outside of normal reality, with whim he goes on surreal missions every so often. One or the other of these identities is false, the hallucination of the other, though we're not really told which. And that?s about it so far.

It all seems pretty simple to me, but maybe I'm just weird.

[Quirkafleeg]

It ain't as simple as that, Art
