# Audioccult Vol. 44: Notes from the Veil
*Light a candle. Draw the required sigils. Now, raise your arms above
your head and slowly, gently, exhale your soul. You won't need it here.
This is Audioccult, and it's time to get
low. Illustration: [SHALTMIRA][1]{: target="_blank"}*
**January 14, 2013**
Scheduled interview with **Brooke Candy**. Got in trouble for marching
up and down in front of her manager and loudly insisting that she was no
John Candy. Snack selection in waiting room VERY impressive (deli meats,
legitimate soda etc).
**Janury 22, 2013**
Supposed to cover BDSM convention and related music scenes; night before
had dream that mistress was showing me the Disney version of
*[Doug][2]{: target="_blank"} *instead of the Nickelodeon one and
telling me that I would never be a real man. Considered it bad omen,
stayed home.
**February 3, 2013**
Looking over advanced copy of incredible documentary about German
painter and photographer **Sigmar Polke**. Beautifully shot scenes using
variety of effects evoke the magick captured in his *[Lens
Paintings][3]{: target="_blank"}*. Unsure why they chose to portray him
as "an adult Dennis the Menace." Digitally-added freckles + slingshot
take away quite a bit of the dignity. Excellent casting choice of Walter
Matthau as cantankerous neighbor. Not really sure how they pulled that
one off, but it's seamless. Selected quotes:
1\. Matthau: "Uh-oh...*this* looks like trouble." \[ SAID WHENEVER POLKE
APPEARS ONSCREEN\]
2\. Polke: \[SMILES MISCHIEVOUSLY\]
**February 11, 2013**
Spent most of last week in court contesting **Yung Simmie**'s claims
that my co-authored review of his [mixtape][4] was poorly conceived.
Sentenced to spend the weekend in Rap Jail and was only given **Drake**
CDs to listen to. Momma, don't cry for me...
**February 15, 2013**
Range Rover limo has been cruising up and down the same block with the
windows all smashed out. Powerful image somehow (marketing? authority?)
**February 20, 2013**
Failed interview with **Snoop Dogg** because I refused to call him Snoop
Lion. Who does he think he's fooling? New Rastafarian image
preposterous. Kept quoting metaphysical lyrics and offering me [Hot
Pockets][5]{: target="_blank"} as I ran out into cold streets. Method
Man/Redman collab kicks on bystander blinding against snow.
**February 23, 2013**
Spent entire morning listening to [new **WMX** EP][6]{:
target="_blank"}, very pumped up about future. Phone call from
accountant at noon telling me that the money I invested in Relevant
Slogan beanies (third largest internet market in 2012) has been lost
thanks to New Era CyberWars. "It's a New Era," I sob and turn the
*Evangelion* soundtrack up.
