About me: Coilhouse is a love letter to alternative culture, written in an era when alternative culture no longer exists. We take from yesterday and tomorrow, from the mainstream and from the underground, to construct our own version. We cover art, fashion, technology, music and film to create an alternative culture that we would like to live in, as opposed to the one that’s being sold or handed down to us. The result, in the form of articles, features and interviews, is laid out on our blog and in our print magazine for all to see. If our Utopia is your Utopia, then welcome! Anyone can contribute, and we encourage you to go to our submission page and get in touch.
All the following articles and more can be seen at COILHOUSE.NET

Thank you for the invitation. The content of the magazine looks like a graphical bisection of my interests and tastes. Very interesting. A lot of luck with the project.
Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
This World health Organization report, the one that calculates 223,000 Iraqi civilians killed since we invaded, is outrageous! Of course, we don’t give estimates of civilian deaths, but our President he figures 30,000. President Bush keeps track. He personally regrets even this small loss of life. He counts. He is a compassionate leader. Now go forth and let his compassion shine forth. Good spin. Good spin. Damn good spin!
From DivertingBuddha’s blog, the space all about Washington political hacks betraying democracy!
The Enchanted Forest iz Calling ALL Artists for the 4th Annual Art Outside Brou-ha-ha! March 7th – 16th 2008. To take part in AO08 Go Here- www.artoutside.org
Ladies and gentlemen of the art world, we are seeking any and all creative humans who use their skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others. That is, we are looking for those whose life is art, and everything they do is DIY. We are calling !ALL! make-believers, dreamers and reality re-arrangers. We are searching hi and low for lowbrow-urban-contemporary-pop-surrealism, pop art, op art, hard-edge, lyrical abstraction, post minimalism, which might be interpreted by some to mean that we are looking only for painters, but that is most definitely not the case. For you see, of course, we need masters of typography, sketchers, illustrators, satirical stencilers, screen printing is way cool, and yes, you too, graffiti fools. Do you manipulate earth/land/sand/plants/junk into art? This call goes out to kinetic sculptors, fire sculptors, sound artists bending invisible waves, and video projectionists playing with light. We must invite the minds of the poets and their spoken slam voices, along with improv comedians who mimic the true history of time. Performers “performing” art, puppeteers with their puppets, musicians making sounds. Oh, and least we forget outsider artists wanting to be outside. We say to you, the Artisans of the world who wish to unite because the world needs ART, because the world’s not right, It is time. Your window of opportunity is now. Our space is your blank canvas. Your dreams are our inspiration. You and your art are invited to take part in this epic artistic endeavor.
The world may be going to hell… So let’s make some art. To take part in AO08 Go Here www.artoutside.org and if ya wanna, befriend us here… http://www.myspace.com/austinenchantedforest http://www.myspace.com/artoutside
Highly recommended, concludes review of DIVERTING THE BUDDHA, the novel about the trashing of democracy by America’s political elites
“Bob Swartzel writes with authority about military and corporate matters and his description of the Buddhist temples is excellent. By the middle of the book, the reader is sucked into this story like the boots of the soldiers who must patrol constantly watching for the enemy and never trusting anyone. Because of this authenticity, the reader is plunged deeply into the destructive atmosphere that was Vietnam. We feel the mud and smell the blood of the dead bodies.
I highly recommend this book for all people who would like to know the real story of the war in Vietnam. It truly shows the effect that a war can have on any country and on its institutions.”
