Walden Flowers

This arrangements is made of wildflowers that are referenced in Walden, and cited in the PLANTS site,which is in itself a very magnificent angry craft. Its design was inspired by a comment that Paul made on the ABC (which I cannot find) that described a garden or porch, where the plants were not actual flowers, but a stick with the name of the plant on it, placed in a pot of dirt.

Chickory: as compared to ‘vegetative sand’ [pp.201];

Cranberry: [pp.78]; as example of a cash crop, [pp.131] [pp.158];

Daisy: [pp.80].

Dandelion: alone in field, [pp.92].

Flag (Iris): [pp.119-120]; [pp.131]; [pp.133]

Garlic: [pp.39].

Hemlock: “Hemlock tea” [pp. 100]; tree scholars, [pp.134-135];

Milkweed: [pp.156].

Sage: cultivate poverty like [pp.210].

Pitchfork Magazine says "Angry Sleeves goes nowhere."

Coffee Sleeves

Field testing the two best this morning. Super hot tea, yet nary a burn.

The red one could be reversible, though I think the tab is rather unsightly.

This was my first attempt. I'm hiding the bad seam by only showing the front. There is a pocket on this one, but it blends in too much. (note to self, make pockets a contrasting color.)

New Mendoza Line Album and Angry Crafts

The Mendoza Line Album 30 Year Low, comes with a bonus disk, Final Remarks of a Legendary Malcontent. On that disk is....the song I wrote! Angry Crafts!
That's right, little old me Eleanor Reed has a song on a genuine musical type album! My roommate is encouraged my to write a song. I did, it is terrible, but I have to say meets the requirements of the Angry Crafts philosophy, in that I did it. I sang, and played the baritone to accompany myself. Our friend Pennie added the clarinet, and that is Paul adding the various zinging string sounds, I think from the autoharp.

Paul, my roomate (and co-incidentally member of the Mendoza Line) put the song on a CD he sent to some friends, and Tim Bracy asked if he could put it on the album. I said ok, because, well, don't you sort of have too? Isn't that one of those things on everyones to do list? "have song on Indie Rock Album" - check.

If you are the first, perhaps only person to have discovered this site because you heard the song on the album and wanted to know more about what sort of trainwreck that was, please email me. I'll send you one of my Angry Crafts if you like! I must say, I don't quite know what to do with them.
