And Also the Trees
And Also The Trees are an English rock band, formed in 1979 in the United Kingdom. They are most notable for their poetic lyrics and evocative music which is strongly influenced by their native English countryside. And Also The Trees started in Inkberrow, a small village in Worcestershire. A home demo tape was sent to The Cure which led to a friendship between the two bands.
In 1981 And Also The Trees played several shows in support of The Cure's UK tour. Their second demo tape From Under the Hill (1982) was partly co-produced with Robert Smith and Mike Hedges. Their first two single releases ("Shantell" and "The Secret Sea") and their debut album, And Also The Trees, were produced by The Cure's Lol Tolhurst and released in 1983. They got the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, and were invited to do a session in April 1984, which was produced by Dale Griffin for broadcast on 24 April. The EP A Room Lives In Lucy (1985) introduced the mandolin-like guitar sound which became their trademark for the next few years.
The next album Virus Meadow (1986), was followed by their first European tour, from which came the live album The Evening of the 24th (1987). Another EP The Critical Distance was released in 1987. The singles "Shaletown" and "The House of the Heart", and the next album The Millpond Years (1988) saw the usage of the record producer Mark Tibenham. Farewell to the Shade (1989), was followed by the single releases of "Lady D'Arbanville", a completely revised Cat Stevens cover and the French only release "Misfortunes". In 1990 they changed their management. The following year the band made a US tour and reactivated contact with The Cure, which resulted in the US only release of the EP The Pear Tree, featuring a remix by Robert Smith and Mark Saunders. In 1992 the band released the last album produced by Tibenham, Green is the Sea. They promoted it with a two-leg European tour including Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France.
Fan pressure resulted in a digital remastering of their singles and EPs, and From Horizon to Horizon, a CD collection of primarily single and non-album tracks between 1983–1992, was released. By 1993 The Klaxon was issued, and the following year the band toured which resulted in the release of the live album Le Bataclan and a tour video from the concert in Hamburg. In 1995 a project called G.O.L. between Justin Jones and Mark Tibenham, along with Antonia Reiner, resulted in the release of the album Sensations of Tone and the single "Soma Holiday". The album featured a cover version of the early And Also The Trees song "There Were No Bounds". The band's seventh studio album Angelfish (1996) created a British perception of "Americana". And Also The Trees live in Dortmund, Germany in 1998 Silver Soul (1998) saw references in sound and voice being made regarding Nick Cave. It was also the band's first release on their own record label. The band released an EP, Nailed, the same year as well as a video compilation. After a five year break, And Also The Trees released Further From the Truth (2003), recorded in the Worcestershire countryside and co-produced with Matthew Devenish. In 2004 and 2005, And Also The Trees played a few shows at some music festivals, such as the Paleo Festival and the Wave-Gotik-Treffen.
They celebrated their 25th anniversary with the Best of 1980-2005 compilation album. Live in Geneva (2006) showed the band in action on their Further From The Truth tour, as well as some video and film projects. The same year saw the band's singer Simon Jones releasing his collaboration project with Bernard Trontin of The Young Gods called November. Their tenth album (Listen for) The Rag and Bone Man came out in November 2007 with a new member, Ian Jenkins, on double bass. The photographs of the artwork were taken by the French photographer Jérôme Sevrette. In June 2009, the band released their acoustic album When The Rains Come. It contained acoustic versions of previously released songs and one new track.

Viva
Viva (born August 23, 1938) is an American actress, writer and a former Warhol superstar.
Viva was born Janet Susan Mary Hoffmann in Syracuse, New York. She was given the name Viva by Andy Warhol before the release of her first film, but later used Auder, her married name. She appeared in several of Warhol's films and was a regular at The Factory. Viva was on the phone with Warhol when he was shot by Valerie Solanas.
After Viva began making films for other directors she also began writing. Her first book, Superstar, was an insider's look at the Factory scene, a partly fictional autobiographical account of her time there. She also wrote for various publications, including The Village Voice and New York Woman.
Viva incorporated excerpts from video tapes into her second book The Baby. These tapes were later released by her former husband, video artist Michel Auder, as Chronicles: Family Diary in three parts.
Viva was the narrator for Carla Bley's 1971 experimental jazz composition Escalator over the Hill.
Viva was one of the early pioneers in Video art.
During the 1970s Viva was a guest participant in Shirley Clarke's Teepee Video Space Troupe, which she formed in the early 1970s. With husband Michel Auder, she made and kept film diaries which included the birth of her first daughter, Alexandra (Alex) Auder.
Viva married video artist Michel Auder in 1969 and together they had one daughter, Alexandria Auder. She had another child later, out-of-wedlock, the actress Gaby Hoffmann.
She lives in Palm Springs, California, where she paints landscapes.

Escritura Automática 70
Estaba rodeado de personas con egos inmensos.Sus presencias me agotaban sus conversaciones me mataban, Eran humanos de carne y hueso pero parecían marcianos del planeta Dios.
Por suerte mi madre me hizo hace tiempo un jersey de lana, con un cuello enorme, que me permitía adoptar la forma de un ser decapitado.
En ese momento, todo mi discurso se basaba en el tacto, percibía las formas de la cara
Y en algunos momentos, podía palpar senos y recuperar todo lo demás. Así estaba bien, las apariencias pasaron a un segundo o tercer plano.
Cogí mi bloc de notas y empecé a apuntar detalladamente todas las acciones de hace 10 minutos. Solo y en silencio, empecé a echar en falta a mis dioses. Música heavy metal sonaba mientras tenía una violenta erección.
Sus palabras encendidas dieron pronto su fruto. Mi miembro explotó y bebí tiernamente mi fluido corporal.Dentro de mi jersey de lana me sentía agradable, como en una granja de flores donde ordeñaban estambres... siempre me gustaron las chicas de campo.
Eran un equilibrio perfecto entre ingenuidad, curiosidad y a la larga vicio, mi eterno compañero.Me tatué un tridente en mi hombro y apagué un cigarro en mi mano
