MOUSELAND [ WORDS ]

It’s a story of a place called Mouseland. Mouseland was a place where all the little mice lived and
played, were born and died, and they lived much as you and І do. They even had a Parliament. And
every four years they had an election. And every time on election day all the little mice used to go to
the ballot box and they used to elect a government. A government made up of big, fat, black cats. Now,
I’m not say anything against the cats. They were nice fellows. They conducted the government with
dignity. They passed good laws...that is laws that were good for cats. But the laws that were good for
cats weren’t very good for mice. One of the laws said that mouse holes had to be big enough so a cat
could get his paw in. Another law said that mice could only travel at certain speeds, so cats were
getting breakfast without too much physical effort. All the laws were good laws for cats. But oh they
were hard on the mice. Life was getting harder and harder. When the mice couldn’t put up with it any
more, they decided something had to be done about it. So they went en masse to the polls. They voted
the black cats out, and they put in the white cats. The white cats, the white cats had put up a terrific
campaign. They said all that Mouseland needs is more vision. They said the trouble with Mouseland is
those round mouse holes you got. If you put us in, we'll establish square mouse holes. And they did.
And the square mouse holes were twice as big as the round mouse holes. And now the cat could get
both his paws in. And life was tougher than ever. And when they couldn’t take that anymore they voted
the white cats out and put the black ones in again. Then they went back to the white cats, then to the
black cats. They even got one government made up of cats with spots on them. They were cats that
tried to make a noise like a mouse, but they ate like a cat. You see my friends, the trouble wasn’t with
the color of the cats, the trouble was that they were cats. And because they were cats they naturally
looked after cats instead of mice. Presently there came along one little mouse who had an idea. My
friends, watch out for the little fellow with an idea. And he said to the other mice, “Look fellas, why do
we keep on electing a government made up of cats? Why don’t we elect a government made up of
mice?” Oh, they said, he’s a Bolshevik! So they put him in jail. But I want to remind you that you can
lock up a mouse or a man. . .but you can’t lock up an idea.

PTSD[WORDS]
Lowest form of nationalism is bumper sticker patriotism.

Armchair warriors and their yellow ribbon pride
Bandwagon bolstering a blood-soaked lie

But it's an old story.
More active duty personnel died by their own hand than combat in 2012.

In September 2014 there were 2.7 million American veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. In 2018
that number only continues to grow. This compared to the 2.6 million veterans who fought in Vietnam.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: prevalence at 14 percent. PTSD—among male and female soldiers
aged 18 or older returning from Iraq and Afghanistan—rates ranged from 9 percent to 31 percent one
year after deployment. Vietnam veterans also report high lifetime rates of PTSD, ranging from 10
percent to 31 percent. PTSD is the third most prevalent psychiatric diagnosis among veterans using VA
hospitals.

50 percent of those with PTSD do not seek treatment.

Out of the half who do seek treatment, they are routinely met with inadequate services.

Despite belief to the contrary, veteran-specific benefits fall short of meeting the needs of veterans and
their families, many of whom struggle to meet basic needs even with Department of Veterans Affairs

support. More than 3.9 million veterans live paycheck to paycheck—meaning their family incomes are
less than twice the federal poverty level, or less than $50K for a family of four.

Blind bumper sticker patriot
So loud when they're sending kids to die.
Where are you now?

Yeah, yeah. . .Support the Troops. . .

. . at least until they get home.

FRUIT LOOPS [ DATA ]

Fruit Loops has never been spelled ‘F R U I T’ Loops.
Fruit Loops has always been spelled “Е В O О T” Loops.
Perhaps you clearly recall it being spelled “Fruit Loops”.
But it has always been spelled F R O O T Loops.
Always.

Okay, so maybe Kellogg’s changed the brand?

Fruit Loops all streamlined and dumbed down for the 21st century.
Froot Loops.

Nope.

Always.

Froot Loops.

Since the inception of the brand in 1963.
Go ahead and check...

Always.

DOCTOR ELLIS

BIOGRAPHY

DOCTOR ELLIS is a dark musical experiment, a
soundtrack to a film that doesn't exist. Electronic,
creepy and atmospheric, the project floated to
the surface of the strange waves created by
Northern Ontario broadcasting pirates, Radio
Konton. Personnel consists of plunderphonic
producer Kid Mania, pirate radio selector DJ
Deadzone and the Chapman stick artist Jason
Brock. Releasing their first independent single,
"stay" // "alibi" in May of 2018, Doctor Ellis quickly
followed up with "First World Problems", an EP of
material recorded by Kid Mania and DJ Deadzone
in 2017. Joined by the Chapman stick and
electronic talents of Jason Brock, Doctor Ellis
produced their third recording and first full album
“Happy at CERN”, released through Radio Konton
Records in the autumn of 2018.

Born in the often arcane landscape of the
Canadian Shield, Doctor Ellis has no qualms
venturing into the musical wilderness. Stylistically
speaking, the project flirts with ambient music,
shadowy electronica, vinyl crackle, garbled voices,
sweeping ominous synth, and all manner of
rustling noises—unpredictable audio motions
that twist and swirl to create an overwhelming
sense of disorientation. One of the central devices
utilized in this sonic psychosis is the Chapman
stick, an unusual instrument everyone has heard
but few recognize. Devised by Emmett Chapman
in the early 1970s, in the hands of Doctor Ellis the
Chapman stick's unique sounds produce a truly
unusual auditory experience.
