Tamarack. Gotta love a tamarack. Accompanying soundtrack? Not a tamarack. But it was nearby… cranksturgeon.com/6O26/REAKY.mp3

It’s a photo of a tamarack, a kind of tree that features into the northern Maine landscape, all needley and rather strange, majestic, stoic, and in some way… immortal.

What’s the worse thing that could happen. cranksturgeon.bigcartel.com/product/plug...

A red toilet plunger cup has a 1/4” jack fixed to where the plunger’s stick should go. The plunger is held by Crank’s old man hand against a green backdrop of birch and pine trees. Apparently this implies nature has no use for plungers, so take that with a head scratching metaphorical grain of salt or maybe the red plays nicely on the green backdrop. Dunno.

Nail soldered to XLR. Yup. on.soundcloud.com/ItdKTL7aKb0g...

A nail is soldered to an XLR connector in hopes of not only increasing headroom for said nail but also to look cool. In sum, fools errands.

Onomatopoeia poem, brought to you by our neighborhood mechanic.

New pitch and earwigs, freshly minted on Subvert: www.subvert.fm/crank-sturge...

A photo of a food service employee glove discarded on the sidewalk, the kind of glove we used to wear, and occasionally hoarded during bouts of plague. The picture is an advertisement for our recording called, Ides Handled.

Old friends send us pix of even older friends - and so here’s Herman. Disclosure below: cranksturgeon.com/6O26PIX.html

It’s a photo of Herman the Sturgeon, resident acipenseridae at the Bonneville Hatchery. Our pal Mike Shiflet was there a while back and forwarded us this pic. We were there in 2oo4.

Social media errorism.

A transformation depiction, PSA, sort of a before and after fable… noting the evolving nature of contact mic usage and their often game changing and face melting transmogrified testimonies. The top picture is your usual white guy tryna sell you shit; photo number two is a warning to those who may partake in contact mic use and the detrimental effects to skin, eyes, and headwear.

Crank Sturgeon@cranksturgeon· May 12

Ahoj friendlies, we are here on Subvert, as well as Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Podbean, and… Ello. www.subvert.fm/crank-sturgeon

A depiction of his nibs, advertising a decisive move to feel included.

Piezoelectric choking hazard in an easy gum ball cat toy. Checkit. cranksturgeon.bigcartel.com/product/bobb...

Photo depicts a piezo microphone housed in a gum ball machine plastic orb. The piezo is terminated to a 3.5mm jack. Sturgeon’s fingers give an idea of size… it’s not only quite small, some might deem said object to be a bit odd…. but that’s how we roll.

A near perfect Fluxus performance was had.

Blue plastic gloves behind an outdoor blue water dispenser at the small mall where my local health food store resides. The gloves are crumpled in a way that implies something happened, transpired - something sinister or gross or even medical. The water dispenser is also a local hang for homeless dudes getting hassled by cops. The mall always has an energy to it - sometimes feeling close to the skin, some confluence or wormhole vortex. For example there’s a crystal shop nearby, a yogurt joint, fish shacks, nameless yoga studios, a tuxedo store. All nearly abandoned in the bad air, angry palm trees… all a still life for late capitalism, on its back like a bludgeoned bit of embattled lore, road pizza, with numb songs about Route 66 (just
add a six).

New cutlery session here: youtu.be/YPMxgWUamdg?...

A view looking down on a table, featuring a bunch of kitchen cutlery atop a metal tin that has on its lid a number of soldered alligator clips and springs. It’s a noise session!

Something from Cody, now it’s for you.

An astronomical high tide washed away all the ICE. Insert metaphor and repeat.

A beach in Maine, photographed in early January. As a result of astronomical high tides, there is no ice on the beach whatsoever. The author implies that this is a metaphor we can adapt to these times.

This year’s holiday greeting card from id m theft able. More of these in my P.O. Box please!

Collage artist, word salad maestro, and soundmaker extraordinaire, id m theft able sent us a holiday greeting card featuring some of their finest handwriting, letterism, spontaneous sharpie marker goiter, and many toothy grin poems - too many to transcribe here - alluding to one walloping tome of a Xmas cheer oracle.

A trip to Antwerp. A duet with Ludo Mich! Listen here: cranksturgeon.com/5Erp/STURMIC...

Crank Sturgeon stands next to his idol, Ludo Mich, following an evening of performances, poems, and, typified by the link, a fair amount of laughing.

Finally found a personalized guidebook

Photo of the book, Monstres Marins, a small publication produced by the Bibliothèque nationale de France, courtesy of the Ministère de la Culture. The booklet features wonderful prints from 14th - 17th depictions of sea monsters.
