Praise Shark or Snark
Friday, February 6th, 2009Ride the Flarf Fixie and visit the Snark Market.
Flarf and Snark
My Geisha Cacti are posing as Flarf and Snark. They have been out of work and were not getting enough attention from the public. In real life they are neither flarfy nor snarky, they enjoy being competent, useful and being professional.
Flarf is in glory hole according to Gary Sullivan
Tao Lin tried to replace Flarf with something else in 2007, not too successfuly. (Previously we went Diving with Tao Lin)
Here is One dollor shark gift from Jurgen who has been scouting for a new funfinfin location in Potrero Hill.
Watch Charlie Rose goes beserk defending snarky Maureen Dawd from this interview with David Denby who was promoting his new book called Snark. (Skip to inaugural poem remix if you had enough of Charlie.)
Someone is trying to make noise. (Is it Kenneth Goldsmith?)
Begin Cotton Lettuce glittering edifices (Like this more than the others)

Defuge Flarf – don’t know who made this tape. Not by Alan Sondheim
The texts are mine, defuge is a concept I’ve worked with, but I have no idea who did the video – wish I did – Alan (via email)
And, of that word, defuge, he writes elsewhere:
fetishization transformed into discard, disgust, the image no longer working, _that_ body used up in masturbation. It is so common that a word is necessary here, the _defuge,_ defuse / refuge / deluge / refuse, de-light, de-flower. Rhyme patterns, frames, defuges; it is the defuge that draws the poem forward beyond return
