email to Glenn Donaldson
what follows is an email I sent to Glenn Donaldson, who runs Jewelled Antler Records...

one would think that the concept of communes go hand in hand with being
space-cadets, and maybe we are all each, individually, jesters of our own
majesties; yet here ... the earth is more a jewel than the star.

I have been tempted of times past, when these seeds were young, of
lawlessness and frivolity and outward mind-expansion. I feel the music, the
aural brushstrokes that defy the boom boom boom and rigid hierarchies of
collective conventions of the commonplace. We need to reestablish the
balance on the horizon, between understanding this world and the
imaginations of a land with more light. we need to open up the chalice to
all, however sharp is the wine.

many thanks for keeping the cost as low as you can go, but we are still
paying for our esoterism... let the curtain drop! release the grease and
let the music run free! Have you ever thought of free distributions? I am
enamored of Jason Soares (of Aspects of Physics) and his www.mp3it.com, and
of our beloved Thurston Moore with the new www.protest-records.com. At what
cost must money be charged, and are any of these costs able to be
circumvented? Please let me know if you would like to investigate this with
me; I might
consider ... the possibility of reenchanting what was lost
with the glitter in the wind.
