My first recollection of professional wrestling goes way back to probably 1982, when I was about 11 years old. We’d just moved across the country to South Carolina and two regional sporting events were televised during the weekends – roller derby and NWA (National Wrestling Alliance)/Mid-Atlantic Wrestling. My recollection is matches were generally held in […]

The Electronic Music Club Of Edmonds Community College – “Iatrogenics” (1984) and “In Reel Time” (1985)
If you’ve never been to Edmonds, Washington, it does not give off the vibe of being a hotbed of electronica.

Mace – “Process Of Elimination” (1985) and “The Evil In Good” (1987)

Oh, and some gory photos from medical textbooks. The through line here, as near as I can tell, is as follows. Philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix […]
