There's a new Sean Penn-produced film coming out based on the book Into The Wild about a traveller named Alexander Supertramp, who, from my own travels in Alaska, was definitely greeted with "indifference and indignation" by the locals. I remember meeting a number of people who lived in tents out there, some year-round. That he possessed a rabid ( Read more... )

These discharges are thought of as manifestations of internal violence; blood in itself is a symbol of violence. The menstrual discharge is further associated with sexual activity and the ( Read more... )

I like this guy's math class, notebook doodling alot, and also the fact that the entire gallery was full of it. There was a great video on, also, but I couldn't find it out there.

Clark Coolidge put out a book of his improvisations, based on cowboy Westerns, streamed from satellite television.

Also, this classic was my favorite in the hospital. I ( Read more... )

"The artist's journey to Tahiti via Suez was lengthy but uneventful. he arrived in Papeete, the capital, in June 1891, bearing his paints, 100 yards of canvas, a shotgun ( for securing food when breadfruit failed ), a French horn,a guitar and two mandolins, the better to thrive in a love- and music- making society. He was disillusioned very soon. ( Read more... )

So they put out a B-movie based on Darby Crash and the Germs. There's something radioactive about that: it looks fucking hilarious ... Here is Matmos doing their, 'Germ Burn For Darby Crash', another intersection of high and low culture. I have Germs-type burns on both hands, though they weren't part of the chain-letter, just teenage masochism. ( ( Read more... )

Last night I saw Death Ambient, at opiateslopes suggestion. They're a group comprised of Fred Frith, Kato Hideki, and Ikue Mori, with Kato as the helmsman. I was hoping it'd be something along the lines of DNA who I saw reunion-ing some years ago, with Ikue Mori on electronics ( as last night ), a drummer, and Arto Lindsay playing guitar. But it wasn't. It was ( Read more... )
