When you are leaving, they know. Something changes in your pores. The second you go to Manhattan Mini Storage to purchase boxes, your chemistry is different. The smell that pumps through the boroughs blasts out the last chance to dance signal. All the guys who never got that sucker punch in and all the girls who wanted to but never wanted to have to see you again start to line up. You find yourself walking down different streets. Avenue A becomes even more of a haunted house.

About Dead Flowers (from DAP):
Based on the work of director and cult legend Timothy Carey (1929-1994),Dead Flowers features new scholarship on this brilliant actor and filmmaker. Carey wrote, produced, directed and starred in the 1962 feature The World’s Greatest Sinner, which was scored by Frank Zappa. Although the film did not have wide commercial release, it built its fervent fan base through repeated screenings at the “midnight movies” in Los Angeles in the 1960s. This publication will certainly appeal to film audiences but also interprets Carey’s cultural contributions through the lens of contemporary art, in works by Charles Atlas, Alvin Baltrop, Johanna Constantine, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Marti Domination, Scott Ewalt, Georg Gatsas, Brandon Olson, Kembra Pfahler, Cynthia Plaster Caster, Tabboo! (Stephen Tashjian) and Paul Thek. It contains texts by Gary Indiana, Antony Hegarty, Max G. Morton, Bruce LaBruce, Vaginal Davis, Eileen Myles and Ed Halter.

>Here< is an A-Z mixtape in celebration of the forthcoming release,

MERCURY NODS IS:
(1) Magellanic Clouds of a Milky Way Bar,
(2) The Natural Order of Teenage Explorers,
(3) Psychonauts of the Uncharted Wastelandscapes,
(4) Youth Not of This Earth.
Mercury Nods is a sealed set of 4 mini-zines. Each zine written by Max G Morton features anecdotes dug up on astral vacations taken during the editing process of WLVS. Much like Morton’s Scarecrow, these trips are out of body. In each report, Morton finds himself a little closer to answers. Premature death in a bodega can lead to the great arcade above; Hollywood DMT travels are best via lucite tubing; the similarities between KO’s and gemstones are many; moments after crossing over to a fascist parallel universe, the remnants of these memories forever stain youth’s pillow.
Limited to 50 signed, sealed copies. 23WLVS #04

Slated for Christmas-time 2010 release are the following:

(2)
New Wave Hookers by Max G Morton
Live… Suburbia! fanzine by Max G Morton and Anthony Pappalardo. This is an introduction to the 2012 Powerhouse Books release of the same name. Live… Suburbia! documents the journey of the teenage explorer starting with the juvenile KISS Army in oil-based face paint to the year punk broke through images and anecdotes. A highlight reel of restless youth and disposable landscapes.
Slated for release in the spring of 2011, Wolves is a novel-length definitive memoir that will weave together and extrapolate from Indestructible Wolves Of The Apocalypse Junkyard, 23, and Looking For The Magic.
“… a horrifically funny, nerve-scorchingly rendered howl from the Lower Depths of Adolescent Hell. Think Harry Crews and Celine geezing crank and swapping fun-time memories with Flannery O’Connor in a burned-out motel, with John Waters taking notes in blood. Morton’s stop-the-presses recollection of clown molestation is worth the price of admission. But every page offers more evidence, not just of festive teenage torment, but of the author’s stature as a full-on American original. This is a book you don’t just want to read, you want to smack people in the face with. It’s that good.” –Jerry Stahl
While in the final flickers of time travel, a few limited offerings will be produced.
First: New Wave Hookers; a fanzine featuring a chapter from Wolves.
(2): Jet Fueled Horses debut cassette release.
(3): New WLVS shirts on Shop Shogun.
Fourth: A fanzine featuring an adapted screenplay by Morton and A. De Benedetti.
