24 hour BLACK(and white)OUT for a FREE INTERNET
I spent the better part of last night trying to figure out how to "black-out" GOG & MAGOG for 24 hrs. in support of the anti-SOPA movement, but to no avail. there is no way to temporarily make your blogspot account go black, so today I am posting only black and white pictures. At least I can say I met them half-way.

FC JUDD - Electronics Without Tears
Well, its happened, they've found an even more obscure figure in the already totally obscure genre of radiophonic music. Like its not enough that fans will shell out three figures for antique 45s of primitive electronic bleeps and bloops, and pour over the scant handful of snapshots and (even scanter) video clips of the creators of this forgotten music, but now they have a new idol to focus on. I really like radiophonic recordings, basically sound effects made with signal generators and tape loops, designed for radio and television. A lot of music nerds do... and I am sure that a very large part of the allure is the rarity of the recordings and the obscurity of the artists involved. What is lost on the larger public, is that you can trace a direct line from all modern popular music directly back to the Radiophonic scene. If you think for one second that Dubstep would exist without the contributions of giants like FC Judd, then your parents and teachers are correct- you don't have the slightest concept of history, and you are a shallow fool. That said, get your know-nothing, Disney-fied ass on over to PUBLIC INFORMATION where they not only have more information about this Titanic Progenitor of Radiophonic Sound than anyone previously has been able to find, but they are releasing TODAY an anthology of his recordings for all to hear and enjoy. Internet provides!

ART = CRIME
I found this video the other day, on another blog, and they were lauding it as the precursor to "Keyboard Cat"
There certainly is a lot going on in this film, I'm not sure where to begin. From the sonorous, belabored singing of 50s TV stalwart Andy Devine, to the audience of children; basically petrified with boredom, to the look on the animals' faces... Confusion! Agony! Torture! Especially the mouse! They simply duct-taped his little arms to some drumsticks, and you can see he is desperate to escape! It reminded me of this clip of "Twiggy The Water Skiing Squirrel"
Apparently "Twiggy" is not one, but a succession of squirrels as this stunt more often than not results in death for the rodent in question. If not from drowning, then from heart failure caused by sheer terror.
Humans love to anthropomorphisize everything around them... but at what cost? I find these sorts of cheap entertainments to be criminal in the least! Maybe these animals should get themselves a personal injury lawyer and sue for damages, up to, and including wrongful death!
Lastly, if you MUST have your animals perform for you, there are far more humane ways to go about it... take for example The Fabulous Rock Cats!
They seem to enjoy what they do, and they're actually a pretty good band if you're a fan of Aleatory Music. Besides, Boyd Rice is a fan!

REMINISCING
I went in to get a quote; on my mortgage, you see... I wanted to see if I could get more money from them.
I had already cashed in my insurance policy, gambled that away PDQ in a shady forex scam, and I was really desperate for funds right now!
What can I say? I was over extended, you don't need to be the graduate of several extended phd programs to figure that one out, do you? Hell, you don't even need to go to online university, even one with a half-decent mba rankings! Its simple math. go get yr. mba online... go check out teh colleges, they got video... and technology...and network security (!)
Plus...everytime I gotta haul my 46+ year old ass up to the bus stop because I am a car-less motherfucker; and I catch sight of the "social milleue" (read looking at teenagers' asses) Dude...I ask myself..."Why did I let myself get kicked out of highschool????"
But of course; if I could go back in time...I'd just fuck that up too... Its sad; isn't it, yes, but its true.

MTS 1009 [Musical Touch Sound] - Maurice Lissac - Emotion
In all my studies on Music, its philosophy, and practice... one record has come forward. To me, this album represents all that a record should be, or might aspire to be in idealized terms. After only one listen I retired myself from music collecting altogether. No search could take me further... As if decreed by law and a criminal act to ignore...I have discovered the greatest Masterpeice of Later-Twentieth Century Diminished Copyright Production Music. Listen for yourself and see...now... please ... DIG these sounds....(in stereo)

On second thought...I take that back...its not actually very good. I guess I was seduced by the flashy packaging. Thanks anyways to Dusty Shelf for providing this link from their Bottomless Pit of Library Greats!
