1) About the Balloons : I actually heard this on BCN on the day I went up to
Beantown for Doug's party. Basically, the producers of the show were looking
for some novel gag for the Island. Apparently, a weather balloon came floating onot
the set. Somebody decided that it w(this transmitted over phone, please bear with me|)

onto the set. Somebody got the idea that it would be a great gag if they had
a lot of bouncing weather balloons lokong nasty. They did it. There was
no symbolic message intended. There was no forethoughout, they just thought
it wou}ild look neat. Similarly, nobody puts deep introspective meaning
to most Hollyweed special effects, they are just there for the effect.
I think that this whole thing is recounted in some biographical douche-book
about The Prisoner somewhere. The main point is that there was no real meaning behind the balloons.
Now, about Coitus. Since I>'Dve last made the offer, there has been the
Net Tape release of the band in quasi-live action. Several people have made
comments about Psychadelic Nightmare in these pages. Well, here I go again.
I have a7{ open invitation to anyone who would like to explore the cosmos via
Coitus' eye. No more -send your own tape- what I will do now is provide
a high quality (Maxell UDXLII, TDK-SA or equiv) C-60 ntape of the best of
Coitus (much live with intros and audience remarks). Your cost -----
$4.00 (I figure about $2.00 for the tape, $2 for the labor). The only
net-people who have heard much of Coitus' stuff are Greg Taylor and Valarie
(?). Avbout 6 people responded to the last offer but I was unable to get in
touch via net-mail. What I propose this time is that if you want (or think
you want) to explore Coitus' interpretation of thje musical universe. You send
me mail at Rossi@NUSC.ARPA to tell me of your intentions. Bearing in mind that
I have an idiot mailer at my disposal make your net-address as clear as
possible. Include a real UYSA mail address and appropriate phone numbers.
Bill Hsu and Mr Richardson, I'm sorry that I couldn't communicate.
[Since I last mentioned this, I mixed 60 min of what I think is the best of
Coitus onto VHS HI-FI tape so everyone will now get the same selection of
tunes, mixed the same way.}tr]
Greg Taylor !!!! Note : I still haven't got a copy of Net-Music tape.....
Well, hatge to communicate by modem (GTE!!!!!).
'Who goes there?'
