Bubblegum dreams by Pandemonia
In Love Love #9 – The Dream – british artist Pandemonia returned with a sparkling poem called “Bubblegum Dreams” – now an animated short film by the artist!
Pandemonia on “Bubblegum Dreams”:
“I was asked to write a poem for Love Love magazine’s “Dreams” issue, something I’d never done before! So, in the spirit of trying new things, I came up with this nonsense poem called “Bubblegum Dreams.”
Initially, I envisioned it with illustrations, but time and resources got in the way. I recently rediscovered some rough sketches I’d made, and it hit me: this doesn’t need to be illustrated, it needs to be animated! Now, we all know animation is a huge undertaking, but I couldn’t resist seeing what it might look like. I’ve created a rough animatic from my initial sketchbook drawings it’s a moving sketch that outlines how the final animation would play out.I to present the animatic for “Bubble Gum Dreams”!
The poem itself is in the latest issue of Love Love magazine, which is packed with great content. You’ll find an interview with the legendary Lydia Lunch (I used to have some of her records!), features with artists Gerard Malanga and Dustin Pitman (I’ve met both!), and a photo story inspired by one of my favorite authors, Fernando Pessoa they turned him into Fernanda Pessoa.I hope you enjoy it!”

INterview with Lydia Lunch in the Dream – also on video – sneakpeak:
She is the loud mouthed No Wave, Noise & Spoken Word ‘King’ of New York, who’s been painting the world with her words, poetry and presence since her early teens in the 1970s. In bands, on stages, in movies, documentaries & podcasts, Lydia Lunch is a strong, fierce and fighting voice for the battered, for the underdogs and the marginalized: for where protest is needed. Lydia Lunch doesn’t give a fuck about attention; she isn’t looking for anyone’s approval.
She’d rather be hated for the right reasons than be loved for the
wrong ones and she’ll never shut up.
This is a short clip from an interview with Lydia by Lisa Marie Järlborn. Recorded on a zoom call from Paris to Brooklyn on a dark January eve in 2025. Read the full interview in Love Love #9 – The Dream issue. In French on our website: lovelovemagazine.fr
Music: Lazy in Love by Lydia Lunch.

soft random lies – barbarisms
Barbarisms played their new single (released November 5 2021) to editor Lisa Marie in Stockholm in Spring 2021, in their red cottage studio in Vitabergsparken, Stockholm.
Barbarisms is a Stockholm-based band formed by American singer/songwriter Nicholas Faraone, Swedish guitarist Tom Skantse and drummer Robin af Ekenstam.
Barbarisms music is hypnotic and repetitive, the new album “Zugzwang” tell stories with three cords and three part harmony. It is emotionally bare, open and unafraid. It’s poetry is direct and real. It almost feels like reading someone’s very mesmerizing diary to the sound of a hypnotic beat which lulls you in and spell-binds you…
Directed by Lisa Marie Järlborn.

Charley plymell reads a poem
I went to visit beat poet Charles Plymell in his home in Cherry Valley almost exactly a year ago now and stayed with him for three days. I recorded him reading this poem and took these images of his home surroundings, the town, all his twenty cats, his beautiful home with artwork from Mary Beach, Claude Pélieu and other poet friends, writers and artists. We also went to see the farmhouse where Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky lived. We saw a black bear that day, but I didn’t catch him on camera…
I hope the images don’t disturb too much from listening to the reading, if it does I suggest you rewind and close your eyes for a second listen.
Here is the poem:
SOME DAY THEY’LL COME AND CRATE ME
The Modigliani Show, National Gallery Washington, D. C. January, 1984 I never knew there were so many Bohemians,
and not just any,
Pressed into the gallery that day.
Surely not the average goers they.
Beautiful people aging under their berets Young, not so young,
from sidewalk cafes.
Walking in Washington’s cultural monolith
In leather jacket’s hard punk make-up kits.
Hats of all kinds, dark glasses and beads.
Paint splattered pants worn at the knees.
Overalls, sneakers, and Mexican huaraches. Jumpsuits, tweed coats, sweatshirts, no bras,
Camouflaged jackets–not allowed:
bare feet. Smoking pipes–even Ceci n’est pas une pipe A Rimbaud parade . . .
though a little heady. . .
I won’t say, “I’ve known them all, already.”
Last minute wardrobes, scarves in the breeze
Long cigarettes burned over wine and cheese.
Art America came to see
This exhibit of Modigliani.
But who is wrapped in a last review Sleeps on Independence Avenue. His biggest fear the beepers And motorized street sweepers.
At the door I point to his head And ask the guard if he’s dead.
No, he says, not really . . .
he Sleeps on the grates, you see,
Otherwise his flesh may freeze.
His belongings were rotten feathers.
His bed old pillows and rags Army blankets tethered with bags.
I asked if he was all right He looked at me in fright.
What do you feel in your heart About these patrons of the arts?
Oh them . . . let me tell you boy.
In his face I saw my eventuality
Ears lobes long replacing sexuality
Hairs sprouting from the nose
escaping Like nature’s terribly brushed painting.
Rembrandt wrinkled and wild, he growled,
I used to work at MOMA’s,
and very loud, Ya know what I mean, bud-dy?
Museum of Modern Art in New York Siddy.
I was a guard there–you catch the rift
Worked on the graveyard shift
Under those paintings I used to sleep Just like here on this hard street
It was at night, you see,
Nothing but them and me.
In the empty museum Along about three a.m.
Rooms full of masterpieces
I used to go to pieces.
Sculptures would appear In dim light to my rear.
I talked to the paintings Made love to them,
y’know Soon left new lines on Picasso
A few more dots on Seurat.
But I fell in love especially With the nudes of Modigliani.
I kissed them in all the good places
Added pubic hairs, kissed their faces.
So now I’m part of the show!
My loves will outlast me, I know.
Though my time is spent
On the cold cement
where no one touches me
I share that with them, you see.
