01/08/08 LETTER FROM AMERICA : THE SORCERERS’ SLOG #27 Once More Into The Lab
The Sorcerers have returned to The Sorcerers’ Lab to commence another round of important, significant and relevant Sorcerers stuff.
The Sorcerers have made several mentions over the course of their Letters From America series of Slogs concerning The Sorcerers’ Lab. Some loyal fans of The Sorcerers’ Music and Musings have come to believe, solely of their own volition that, The Sorcerers are, in fact, tiny aliens from another world, who live and work in a medium sized female black Labrador doggie. This is absurd.
She is 90 pounds if she’s an ounce.
The fact remains, The Sorcerers are back at work, paring down over twenty new songs into an even newer project to be entitled, “Western & Country” … or perhaps, “Western & Kountry” for those who prefer a little irony and commentary with every morsel of information.
It is true The Sorcerers were laid low and distracted by financial concerns, personnel changes, delays in surgeries, identity theft, automobile accidents, the gas/food riots, the rotting of the American economy, the last minute stab at profits from all corporations aligned with the dunderheads in Washington D.C., a failed two-pronged war, the Big Sur wild fire, the price of food, another Adam Sandler film, the West Nile Virus, general confusion and malaise, humidity’s effect on guitar strings, grey tree squirrels, the bloody price of gas, other nonspecific stuff including speed bumps and anti-inflammatory lozenges, plus The Sorcerers’ oft reported fitful nature and gleeful distain.
Even so, The Sorcerers have returned to form and now will concentrate on the “Western & Country” project in which The Sorcerers’ dependable view of Americana will be re-focused on life in the West, life from a Western point of view and a view of life from points West. In other words, The Sorcerers’ will write what they know, life, as seen from California, the home base of The Sorcerers, the music entity that works from within a female Black Labrador doggie and will not come out. There are, apparently, only two ways out of The Sorcerers’ Lab and The Sorcerers do not, at this juncture, approve of either. Owners of female Black Labradors will explain the details to the rest of you. Owners of cats and forest dragons can make their own diagrams and come very close to the problem facing The Sorcerers, vis a vis a coordinated, convenient, dignified exit from The Lab.
There have been several Letters From America compiled and not circulated because they were too angry and sad … EXAMPLE:
“The Oil Men have one last great evil moment of wild, unbridled profits before the general election, before the troops are called to their corporate offices, before they are dragged from behind their desks and properly dealt with in the streets. It is a modest proposal whose time has come.”
So, rather than continue in that vein, The Sorcerers decided to go back to work and also to conduct a product sale, which seems the only sensible thing to do in these times of awkward American decline. The Sorcerers’ first release, “AMP, American Musical Portraits”, previously priced at a reasonable, $2999.99 per disc, is now on sale for the hilarious price of £9.99 which includes shipping to anywhere in the known world. Buy now, safely and securely from this site or at www.the-sorcerers.com

When is a video not a video? How should The Sorcerers know? Ask Soren Kierkergaard, see if he knows the sound of one hand clapping while the other hand holds a JVC GR-DA30.
PRODUCTION NOTE: The attached file was just delivered to The Sorcerers’ Lab (www.the-sorcerers.com) moments ago by Christopher James Simoneit. Mr. Simoneit is the artist in residence at the Atascadero Home for the Criminally Insane. The Sorcerers are to understand that Mr. Simoneit put the finishing touches on his effort while deep in an altered fevered state brought on by acute tonsillitis.
The file delivery was somewhat late due to Mr. Simoneit’s struggling with the paperwork that promises to be the malpractice suit of the decade. In a bold stroke of legal genius, Mr. Simoneit enjoins the family and the late inventor of the tonsillectomy, famed physician to the Mongol Hordes, Dr. Larry Khan. The Sorcerers look forward to the trial.
Enough of the backroom dealings of The Sorcerers and their talented support staff – let these video or non-video images be distributed evenly over The Sorcerers’ home planet and let the message of “Rockin’ Baghdad” resonate like fourteen trillion electron volts. For The Sorcerers, nothing has changed, modesty remains their watchword.
The next non-video production from The Sorcerers should be “I Love You Fellow Citizen”, now in development hell somewhere near Pismo Beach.
Please forward this non-video to one friend, two strangers and to someone with tonsillitis.
CONTEST TIME: Free musical gifts from The Sorcerers’ Lab for clever participation in this Gift To The World As We Know It. Email:hipstermedia@msn.com This is a secret contest, please, not a word about “Contest Time” to anyone, especially Soren Kierkergaard or any of his existential drinking buddies.
In addition to the tonsillectomy, which other medical procedures were developed by Dr. Larry Khan?

http://antarctic-circle.org/valmar.htm
We've therefore made this the first link on our new 'Links Page' and added in a link to 'The Sorcerers' own web site for good measure.
There have been many individual enquiries about the "2042" song over the last couple of years, so Martin writes:
"I penned the song after seeing a talk by somebody called Robert Swan who walked both Poles. He ran a programme in the last few years called Mission Antarctica which concentrated on cleaning up Antarctica (debris from previous bases etc.) with young people as volunteers. The international treaty protecting Antarctica against commercial exploitation is due for renewal in 2041 and so Robert named the boat that took people on the trips '2041' to highlight this fact. The logic behind raising awareness amongst children and young people is that they might one day be the people who are still around to see the treaty protecting Antarctica renewed. It is the last unspoiled place on this planet, but the fear is, that it may not remain so after 2041."
"I therefore wrote "2042" mainly as an apocalyptic vision of what might happen if the treaty is not renewed. However the song is also partly a tribute to a young woman called Pip Gregory who tragically died of medical complications on one of the Mission Antarctica trips. The song hopes to highlight the grave responsibility for our children in the chorus "Oh children where are you, in 2042" i.e. please don't fail in your mission to continue to protect Antarctica, because this is what is likely to happen and there is no going back."
