Working on a new mixtape (I do one every month for a couple friends back home).
I think it’d be fun to start exchanging mixes with people more often. I love getting new music! Maybe I’ll make up a few extra to send out to some of you guys…but only if you send me one back. Music and actual mail…what could be better?
Transact!
The orange letters stand out so well. I also love the Modigliani nose.

“Ah, the pure shine of a few moments of heroism, high courage, and derring-do! In it’s light we genuflect before the Hero, we bask in the warmth of his Deeds, we tout him, shout his praises, deify him, and, in short, make of him what no mortal man could ever be. We are a race of tradition-lovers in a new land, of king-reverers in a Republic, of hero-worshipers in a society of mundane get-and-spend. It is a Country and a Time where any bank clerk or common laborer can become a famous outlaw, where an outlaw can in a very short time be sainted in song and story into a Robin Hood, where a Frontier Model Excalibur can be drawn from the block at any gunshop for twenty dollars.
Yet it is only one side of us, and we are cynical and envious too. As one half of our nature seeks to create heroes to worship, the other must ceaselessly attempt to cast them down and discover evidence of feet of clay, in order to label them as mere lucky fellows, or as villains-were-the-facts-but-known, and the eminent and great are ground between the millstones of envy, and reduced again to common size.”
-Warlock, by Oakley Hall

Those of you who saw me this Halloween might have seen the badges I was wearing. They were made by Will Sweeney from the creative label ALAKAZAM! I highly recommend buying a lot of things from them.
A Visceral Affair →
Short Fiction by SK
Her nervous toes danced under the table. She thought- on this dismal day in South West London- the time had come to confess her state of tangled affairs. She could, given the spotlight for long enough, call attention to quite a few issues plaguing the Longley family dynamic. But instead, she thought it best to focus solely on the whole-bodied emotional affair she had been having with her parents’ neighbors’ 33 year-old son, Kingsley Stone, whom she had met three years prior at an equally dismal Christmas dinner. The families had come together in their typically matte fashion, and her husband Bill had his shirt ironed crisp and wore a smile only she could forget…

BROKE INTO THE WRONG GOD DAMN REC ROOM!
Hi everyone, Colm Feore, father & actor here. I wanted to update people because the last few weeks I’ve been watching TNT movies, something called Clear and Present Dangerous with fellow actor Horrison Fard so I haven’t been able to get on the internet. John Asparagus, the magazine upon which you have entered this site for, is now up at Good Records in Dallas, TX.
People that don’t live in Dallas (I don’t, I live in the Cloud Place) should know that Good Records is one of the best music stores in the US of A, if there was a poll it should be voted as so. They have live music and beer most days of the week.
Anyway, if you’re in Dallas, and like waxen records, please stop by and support the store and the zine.
Conquer or perish,
Colm Feore, Actor
THANK YOU COLM!
My drawings are in/on that zine!
