ILLEGAL ART

"Stay Free"-Magazine put together a show called "Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in the Corporate Age" which is coming to the Nexus Gallery in Philadelphia from October 3rd to November 2nd, 2003. The website has some great artwork online and offers free downloads of various banned songs.

Here is a good article on the Art of the FBI. Excerpt: "In the late 1960s, the Black Panthers started a Free Breakfast for Children program, serving thousands of black and poor kids across the U.S. Concerned that the program would spread anti-white propaganda, the FBI decided to spread their own anti-white propaganda as a pre-emptive strike. The bureau produced a 24-page coloring book, making it appear as if it had been created by the Panthers. Intending to gut public support for the group, the books contained inflamatory pictures, some of which featured young black kids shooting pigs dressed as policemen. The FBI sent copies of the coloring book to the Panthers’ white contributors and to businesses that supported the free breakfast program, such as Safeway and Jack-In-The-Box. When copies of the forgery reached the Panthers’ national leadership, Bobby Seale destroyed it, saying it "did not correctly reflect the ideology of the Black Panther Party." –Brian Boling" images from the coloring book

Leni's License To Kill

"The end of 2002 heralded the arrival of the latest adventure in the forty-year-old James Bond franchise, a continuation not only of the residual cold war icon now transformed by the Bloc-less postmodern world, but of a specific gaze, a way of presenting the female form/image found in the vision of filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl."

American Splendor (2003)

Harvey Pekar's autobiographical comic-series "American Splendor" has been turned into a movie starring Paul Giamatti as Harvey Pekar.

The Grand Jury in Sundance gave it a first prize and so it gets a thetrical release instead of being shown on cable-tv only.

SCHWULE NAZIS - Outing Jörg Haider and Saif Gaddafi

It has just been confirmed by members of the gay scene in Vienna that Jörg Haider and Saif Gaddafi, son of arch-villain Muammar al Gaddafi, are a couple. Remember, Austria is the last country in the EU which tries to criminalize homosexuality. Gaddafi is always around when Haider leaves home and both of them are supposed to go for wicked orgies with young men behind the border to Slowakia. Follow the links below to see a picture of the happy couple.

In der taz war vor langer Zeit bereits eine Art Outing-Versuch am laufen, aber nun hat Mad-Science.Net aus absolut seriösen Kreisen der schwulen Bevölkerung Wiens bestätigt bekommen, daß sich Jörg Haider mit Saif Gaddafi , Sohn des lybischen Erzschurken Muammar al Gaddafi, das Kopfkissen teilt.

THE BATTLE FOR GALACTICA

The fans of Battlestar Galactica, one of the worst series ever, are on the barricades to protest against the new series. Why do people bother to create shitty sites like this for some Bonanza in space-crap? Why do people write stuff like this:

"Mr. Ronald D. Moore, recreating the cataclysmic events of human kind's destruction on Battlestar Galactica is deplorable considering the tension over 9/11, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, fighting in other countries and warcomingsoon for Iraq, the U.S. And the U.K. Why are you choosing to retell the story of Battlestar Galactica instead of continuing it?

Wired had a look too.

LAST MEN STANDING

"World War II did not neatly end with Japan's surrender on September 2, 1945. At its height the Japanese Empire was more than 20 million square miles of land and sea. Soldiers in isolated regions fought on for years after the surrender some unaware the war had ended, other refusing to believe. Some hide in the jungles alone, others fought in groups and continued to make attacks and conduct guerilla warfare. These men were called Japanese Holdouts, or Stragglers and their stories are some of the most fascinating human interest stories of the 20th Century. " that's one fascinating story over here.

MUSIC:

DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR A COMEBACK

The leftovers of Queen and Ben Elton wrote a musical. Isn't that nice? Here's the official info:

"The time is the future, in a place that was once called Earth. Globalisation is complete!

Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts.

It's a safe, happy, Ga Ga world. Unless you're a rebel. Unless you want to Rock. On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The Company Computers generate the tunes and everybody downloads them. It is an age of Boy Bands and of Girl Bands. Of Boy and Girl Bands. Of Girl Bands with a couple of boys in them that look like girls anyway. Nothing is left to chance, hits are scheduled years in advance.

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

But Resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities, down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels who believe that there was once a Golden Age when the kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs. They call that time, The Rhapsody.

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see

Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist. Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians need a hero to find this axe and draw it from stone."

Then go to this website and check out the picture for "We will rock you". What's that woman doing beetween the guy's legs? Why is everyone looking somewhere else? Ga Ga?

MUSIC:

ADAM ANT: THE MADNESS OF PRINCE CHARMING

Adam Ant has shot a documentary about himself which was aired on C4 in July. There is no new record to sell or any other marketing-sheme behind it. Basically he's talking about his manic depression, I heard. Did anyone tape this? Fuck, I loved Adam and the Ants when I was a kid.

"Adam Ant was an '80s icon, one of the decade's biggest stars. He sold records by the million, adorned thousands of bedroom walls and hundreds of magazine covers. But he was also plagued by mental illness, fighting a daily battle against demons that threatened to overwhelm him, and even take his life. With the full and exclusive co-operation of Adam Ant and some of his closest friends and mentors, this film tells the inside story of a thrilling, chaotic, turbulent and troubled life. It is a life that has seen the highs of No.1 hits, and the lows of obsessive stalkers and terrifying depressive episodes.

It is also a life that famously reached its nadir in 2002, when Adam Ant was arrested following an incident in a London pub. In this remarkably frank portrait, Adam reflects on his glory days, his spectacular fall from grace, and the depression that's haunted him for more than 30 years."
