This is coal. 

Do not be afraid. 

Do not be scared. 

It will not hurt you.

1. A few days ago we received this message from the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance...  

I'm writing to ask for your help in our campaign to build a stronger Australian arts culture. Some of the questions we're looking to focus on are: Is creativity and arts practice important, and if so, what makes it important? Is it as important as sport? Is support for Australian culture and arts activity something government should support? Should they do more? How do we ensure our culture is properly represented in government funded and commercial art projects? How do we ensure the creative and cultural contributions of all citizens are respected and represented in political decision making?  We need your views on what it takes to recognise and support a society that values artistic practice; on how to ensure that the art we buy and watch is our art and not simply the stuff we import. Please join us to take part in this important conversation.          When: February 17th to 21st.                Where: Via an online video forum. 2. Also a few days ago, we noted the logo on the cap Nick Kyrgios's father was sporting at the Australian Open... 3. Then, watching the Dead Kennedys on RAGE this morning...

Dressed in rat gray, Nikki Danjo now appears on stage with the Label scroll as ecTARplasm. By a magic hand gesture, he becomes invisible.

ecTARplasm

ecTARplasm : (from the Greek ektos, meaning "outside", TAR meaning "Theatre of the Actors of Regard", and plasma, meaning "something formed or molded") is a term used to denote a substance or spiritual/conceptual energy "exteriorised" by artistic mediums.

We are intrigued by Nick Kyrgios's ecTARplasmic expressions, observed again this week at the Australian Open.

Kyrgios survives incredible fightback from Karen Khachanov
AAP - 26 Jan 2020 00:23 

Nick Kyrgios has set up the most anticipated match of the 2020 Australian Open - a clash with bitter rival Rafael Nadal - after a stunning five-set triumph against Karen Khachanov. 

The temperamental Australian produced some of his best tennis to beat the Russian 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (8-6) 6-7 (9-7) 7-6 (10-8) in a thrilling third-round match on Saturday night 

The four hour 26 minute classic was the longest of his career and sets up the eighth tour showdown with the world No.1 on Monday. 

But this one will go down for the ages, Kyrgios blowing two match points across the third and fourth set and also battling a bloody hand and a mini-meltdown to eventually get the job done. 

"Man, it was crazy," Kyrgios said. 

"I don't even know what to say right now. That was insane. I've got no words to how I'm feeling right now.

 After the win, Nick painfully slowly approached Jim Courier, waiting on court to interview him. With hands on hips and a white ecTARplasm towelling emission, he readied to speak.

Australia Day/Invasion Day

 Daisy by Pond click to play

 Like, what about the empire? What about the cross?

[Intro]
It's spring and the cherry blossoms sprout
The legs are out and the bronzed chests
And fires bejeweling the southwest
Thank you, darling, for these silver gelatin echoes of me, 

    with you
Smiling like he has to for the cause
For the tribe, for the boys, for the lie

[Verse 1]
Nobody heard me crying in my sleep
Me and the men of the frontier stack the bodies in a heap
Jimmy grabs a beer and we wash our hands in the creek
Ooh, talk is cheap
Frangipanis growing back home
And they're shading the bottle-o line
Once we were dreaming of pearls
Now me and my sons all dream of iron

[Chorus]
Well, Daisy, baby, are you drivin' home?
'Cause this baby doesn't wanna walk alone
She said "Ooh" as she grabbed my tongue
Sometimes you gotta rock the cradle, baby, on your own

[Verse 2]
Ooh, is that boogoo with the big chain?
Is that Annie with the white dress?
Is that granny with the white man
With the no name and the no stress?
Like, what about the empire? What about the cross?
What about the halos? Are the angels inside with the Xbox?
Ooh, that's a dollar for any can
And on Thursdays, I'll be headin' back to see my man

[Chorus]
Well, Daisy, baby, are you drivin' home?
'Cause this baby doesn't wanna walk alone
She said "Ooh" as she grabbed my tongue
Sometimes you gotta rock the cradle, baby, on your own

[Bridge]
Damn, it's cool on the bathroom floor
Well, Daisy doesn't have a babe no more
Damn, it's cool on the bathroom floor
Daisy doesn't have a babe no more

[Outro]
Did seeing real blood remind you that I had a heart?
That was the last kiss, that was a real one
When I see you next year I'll be perfect, yeah
I'll be perfect for you, babe

 What about the halos? Are the angels inside with the Xbox?
