A very brief history of The Wave Generator

Sent from the year 2525 to warn our generation of an impending catastrophic future, the Wave Generator unwittingly became stranded in our time period due to an interdimensional anomaly that only became apparent on his arrival. He makes the best of his dilemma by writing songs and performing on a frequent basis, hoping that his words and music will inspire others to join the fight against the forces of mediocrity, fanatical religion, political cynicism, greed, and evil, in no particular order. The future is of your own making. Don't dream it. Be it!

Sometimes posing as 21st century human, writer and musician, Joe Pettit Jr. (in order to study your time period more closely), The Wave Generator currently writes for Ugly Things magazine and VideoScope. He performs with The CoStars, Rush Mountmore, Monster Vs. Monster and The High Holies. He has played with many other bands, maybe even yours when you weren't looking. He makes more special appearances than Michael Caine.

Welcome to the Future Head blog

On top of being a musician/songwriter and time traveler, I'm also a writer. I've written for a variety of publications, including the All Music Guide online, Images Journal, Ugly Things Magazine, and VideoScope magazine, under the byline Joe Pettit Jr. My interests are mainly music (especially music that takes you on a journey), weird headtrip movies, visionary art, books (esp. fantasy, science fiction, horror, psychedelic philosophy, metaphysical speculation, paranormal research, magickal history, conspiracy, as well as some mainstream fiction and nonfiction), and ideas off the mainstream radar, such as the Mayan Calender and its possible implications for human evolution, 2012 - the theorized end of recorded history, apocalypse as humanity's psychological shadow rising, and the possibility of life in other dimensions and planets.

This blog will be used to discuss these ideas and to write about music, art, books and movies that address these themes or that I think are just fine works of art. If you like what you read and have a book, CD or movie you'd like me to write about, contact me. If you'd like to submit something for review consideration, e-mail me and I will get a mailing address to you. Otherwise this will be a freewheeling journey through my current obsessions.
