Dr. Phil: My first guest tonight is a man who has some impulse-control problems. Raskolnikov: What do you want? When will you leave off tormenting me? Dr. Phil: Hold it right there. Seems to me you need an attitude adjustment. (Raskolnikov turns abruptly and stares at the wall.) Dr. Phil: Says here you murdered an old lady for her money. You murdered her, and then you murdered her sister. What were you thinking? Raskolnikov: (Making a violent effort to understand what it all means) I murdered myself, not them! It [...]
I’ve gone to several festivals recently, but I don’t know why. I never used to go to festivals even though there’s always lots of random shit happening in the Denver Metro area and, despite how much shit I give this town, even Boulder has its fair share of random public screenings, concerts, and largish film festivals. However, it doesn’t have a chili fest. We had to drive 15 minutes out of town for that one. We then consumed many dixie cups of chili and 2 dollar beers. I also met a congressman (he was a dick), and I got into [...]
Ratatat - Tacobel Canon I recently followed a rabbit down its hole. Digging through the roots and dirt I realized that this rabbit was not what I originally thought. This "rabbit" soon revealed to me that it was in fact a space worm burrowing through the fabric of space and time, stranding me at last at its final destination 500 thousand light years away from the tree in the park by my house on the lake. The hyper energetic galactic [...]
Pedro Almodovar has a new movie coming out this November. Fucking awesome. You can watch the Preview for it here. It’s exciting when he makes new movies, because he’s an undisputed master at the zenith of his career. Unlike other once radical film vets who have more or less settled into a cozy style that makes you feel they could be directing in their sleep, Almodovar is still vibrant and
I am so scared. I am 93 years old and I haven't left my apartment in years. I don't know how many, because the robot bastard won't tell me. Maybe I'm not asking right. Everybody speaks different now. He's probably programmed to understand them, and not me. Everybody speaks like they do in the middle section of that horrible book Cloud Atlas that I read when I was young ( and extremely beautiful). It was so unbelievebly annoying to read that part, about the future, in a time after The Fall. Where everybody spoke like retards. [...]
Check this article out about colonizing Mars. Sounds like a great idea to me. It will be just like a movie, kind of like Star Wars, except everytime you have to leave you're "human-filled mini-apartment building with parking spots for martian cars and spaceships" you have to put on a big heavy suit to protect you from radiation and other various things in the toxic atmosphere that will make your
Every week I will be featuring music from a different part of the world. Today is Western Africa Except that it won't be every week, it will be when ever the hell my lazy ass gets around to it. Today I feel like shit, it feels like my lungs are going to come out of my body in liquid and solid form everytime I sneeze. My house is a mess, there is plant and earth debris everywhere, but there is an
It's the year 2106, unestimated changes have occured in the last century. weaponry has advanced as well as genetic endowment. Many thought that changing your childs eye color is playing god and opening Pandora's box. Well there must not be a name for the box that has been opened by the government. They stole the top genenticists in the world and now give carbon-subsidies for those who volenteer
The other night me and two friends bought a six pack and a bottle of cheap wine and went to the local video store to rent a movie. After making our way through the many aisles, we had only three options as I saw it: Cannibal Holocaust, Robot Holocaust, and Zombie Holocaust. I mean, choosing between one of those is no easy task, but at least we no longer had to worry about the thousands of other
One thing I like to do is dig through 7inchpunk's massive database and look for non-punk thats been incedentally accidentally posted. Amidst all the heaps and heaps of international hard-core punk and proto-noise there are some really intresting post punk or new waveish things that no one could possibly know about. Theyre a solitary out of print 45 or EP that one of the curators picked up that
In the next few posts I am going to try to disect my taste in music. I am going to go through what I’m inexplicably and inevitably drawn to. There are some elements to music that I have always appreciated ever since I was a little kid, the one I am about to start with, the Falsetto is not really one of them. I had mixed feelings about it as a kid, after I sort of found out what it was. I loved it in the Platters and Elton John I didn´t like it in Prince ( listening to [...]
The other night, me and my friend Gail went to IFS (the CU campus film series) to see Todd Solondz breakthrough flick, Welcome to the Dollhouse . Here’s the sweet-ass original title track from the movie: Welcome to the Dollhouse - The Quadratics This was the third time I’d seen it (but my first time on 35mm) and I loved it more than ever. I’m a huge Solondz fan and I think all his movies are fantastic, but for whatever reason [...]
Music: Ive been pretty psyched about this new song from Boredoms affiliate OOIOO. Its basically just drums and girls chanting. Its like the pogo-girl punk equivalent of japanese noise, and it's awesome. OOIOO - UMA Sci-fi: In the vein of Laz's last post I think I should write a little more about science fiction, which is my supposed topic. And not the sci-fi-esque crap I normally do. Speaking of sci-fi-esque crap, I should mention that I feel there are a lot of [...]
I just realized that I'm supposed to write about art, i haven't really done that at all. About a year ago one of my favourite artists Misaki Kawai exhibited her work at a very good galley here in Stockholm called Loyal . Right now they are showing Matt Leines' watercolor paintings, which I find extremely beautiful and inspiring. I especially like the fact that he's a pro-wrestlilng fan and brings the aesthetics of the wrestling masks and costumes into his art that at the same time reminds me both of orthodox icons and comics ( both avant-garde and regular [...]
Reasons I can't stop listening to this song: - The xylophone. - The slide guitar. - The erratic handclaps. - The xylophone, slide guitar, and erratic candclaps all at the same time. - A normally quite annoyingly voiced singer who hits everything perfectly only on this one song. - Distorted spaceship sounds building to the chorus. - The Nirvanaesque pop structure - verse, verse and then hit the
This newspaper article is a great example of the quality individuals we breed in the great state of Wisconsin. Wow, these guys just aren't that bright. If they wouldn't have said anything no one ever would have found out that they were planning on fucking the corpse. And you'd think they could have found a body that wasn't just mutilated in a motorcycle accident. I couldn't find any songs directly about necrophelia on my computer so I decided I would post a [...]
Doors Open at 8 am - Merzbow None of us have posted in a while, so I figured I should to appease our 3 or 4 readers (who might very well not actually be reading anything, but just downloading our Killer Tunes, which is totally cool ). Because we love you. Anyway, in my last post I put up a song by Merzbow , the amazing Japanese avant garde noise composer. Here’s another one. There is no one else in the world [...]
With the advent of the critical tenets of hypersolipsism, the Free York cinema scene has become a bore, one unparalleled since the height of glam-fascism 30 years ago with it’s strict requirements of the socialist-whore-realist framework. At first glance this return to the slow trainwreck filmmaking ethos of unmediated organic rot which has been sweeping the 4 coasts and post-fire South for the last several months seemed fresh, or at least a fresh regurgitation. But by now the discerning flesh and post-human art communities have discovered it’s crude core to be nothing more than a mute inversion of the principles [...]
Progress for America political ad With House and senate elections approaching republicans are more desperate than ever. They were pretty desperate in the last presidential election which is why I thought they would lose, but they managed to scare people into voting for Bush. How much longer are Americans going to fall for this same tactic. As long as it's not Jeb becoming the most powerful man in the world in 2008. If that happens I'm officially applying for citizenship anywhere I can get it. Even if it's Lebenon. [...]
