Charisma Prisms zine #1 - Slept Through A Landslide
The literary companion to the "Slept Through A Landslide" single. 44 7x7" B+W pages of essays, fiction, comics, poetry, and images, plus a full-colour wraparound cover illustrated & lettered by cartoonist Even Dahm (Rice Boy, Vattu, Order of Tales).
Contributors to the zine's content include Krista Muir, Brzowski, HW, Nicolas Carrier, Joyce MacDonald, Jennifer Dales, Meghan Lands, Shannon Fisher, and Jesse wrote a ton of stuff, too.
The first run was produced in August 2012, in a desperate scramble to merch up for FanExpo and the No Friends US tour in September. They all sold out in person, so this is the first time they've been available to STRANGERS on internet. Wow!

lyrics
[sample - Doctor Who]
The Doctor: In the end you just get tired... tired of the struggle; tired of losing everyone that matters to you.
Tired of watching everything turn to dust.
Lazarus: That's a price worth paying,
The Doctor: Is it?
[Hook - Krista]
My angels, my angels are tired.
[Scratch - Petey Pablo]
*yawn* I get sleepy!
[Noah23]
Hell is nearly frosted and I'm feeling exhausted
Used to have direction, but now I've completely lost it
Tossing and turning, yearning for more
Dirt on the floor, foot through the door, search and report
Serpent of war, smoked out herbivore.
"No man is an island," yeah, I've heard that before.
Well, you certainly will drown off the shore, rotten to the core
Me and Jesse D is like hip-hop galore!
Walking in croc skin, toxic waste written on my face
Frostbitten and lost without a trace (trace)
I might be sour, but you have no taste (taste)
And the mischief is a source of my grace (grace)
Crack statues open with lack of emotion
I've got wanderlust so I splash the vast ocean
The balance dangles, just like a pendulum
So go to sleep, beneath, my sweet Seraphim.
[Hook - Krista & Jesse]
My angels, my angels are tired.
[scratch - Sage Francis]
Dreams of falling asleep!
[scratch - Wu-Tang Clan (Inspector Deck)]
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm STILL depressed!
[scratch, Molemen (Buck 65/Sebutones)]
Life is good, but why am I so miserable, then?
[Jesse]
Burning my bridges at both ends, persistent cough
Laboured breathing . easy on the syrup, (gasp) a little wheezy
Twisting off caps, feeling effects of distortion
Reeling from dextromethorphan; drifting off
Sex is important, sleep is for the weekend, hell is
Round the corner, it's tricky to rock-a-bye, we can tell.
Dreaming of a Sopwith Camel cockpit, your dog soars
me and twenty-three is like . shoplift from stores
rip off the gift shops and downtown boutiques
Count down to lift-off in new sneaks; push you in the
Bushes like Musique; it drips on the floor
me and krista muir is like kids on a tour
Gone to war with ominous thoughts, anonymous authors of communist plots and
Omnivores when carnage is wrought, you run with McCarthy, we're punished with poverty
Often as not, it's wearing us down. Thundering ignorance, wonder and innocence
There's a new cherub in town, under the influence
[Hook - Rosie]
My angels, my angels are tired.
[scratch - Atherton]
Surrounded by this grief, it finally took its toll!
[scratch - Kanye West]
Play strings for the dramatic ending of that wack shit
[Hook - Krista, Jesse, Rosie]
My angels, my angels are tired.
[scratch - Geto Boys (Scarface)]
See, every time my eyes close, I start sweating, and blood starts coming out my nose.
[scratch - Biggie]
The stress is building up, I cant... I can't believe (I'm on my way over there, man)
[Hook - Jesse]
My angels, my angels are tired.
[scratch - Psychiatric Consultations (Anxiety)]
The real problem in a dying patient is a problem of desertion, and separation, and loneliness.
We don't know what death is; we can't conceptualize it, but we all know what it's like to be alone, and afraid, and in the dark.

It isn't Hallowe'en without a new Swamp Thing album, and once again Jesse D is darkening their doorsteps with a guest rap on CLYDESDALE. rap legend Jesse Dangerously
If the main artist were anyone else, the pedigree of the guest rappers on this record would be the lead of the story, but this is the Mighty Motherfuckin Rhino, so heros & legends go under the fold. rap legend Jesse Dangerously
