Cocacabana
Brazil may be rising, but in Rio's favelas, drugs, crime, and killing are a way of life. A Hipstamatic tour - deep inside the gritty, gang-ridden streets - where few outsiders dare to tread.
Civil police officers, part of the homicide division, stand over a body while investigators try to determine the entry and exit wounds of an ex-community official rumored to have been working with drug traffickers, who was shot to death in the Favela Mineira on July 28.
A trafficker stands with his machine gun in Villa Korea, a Red Command controlled favela on the outskirts of the city on July 17. There are several notorious factions of drug gangs in Rio, the oldest and largest of which is Red Command.

Bettie Page, FBI Consultant
When a 1957 police drug raid on a Harlem apartment turned up a cache of obscene magazines and photos, paddles, a riding crop, a whip, and lengths of chain, rawhide, and rope, FBI agents contacted Page for some expert guidance. Specifically, they wanted to know if the apartment was a photo studio where obscene material was produced.
According to the below memo sent to Hoover, Page told investigators that she 'had never heard of that type of photography being made in Harlem.' An agent reported that Page also advised that the 'flagellation and bondage pictures that she had posed for' were shot 'in photographic studios or photographers apartments.'
The seized porn, which included 'two books and four pictures depicting Betty Page in various poses,' was shipped to Washington for 'examination' by the FBI Laboratory, according to a second memo. At some point, agents planned to quiz the apartment's inhabitants about 'what the source of these items was, and to what use they were putting them to.' The FBI documents were included in Page-related material released following a TSG Freedom of Information request. Page died in December 2008 at age 85.

I have a few cassettes I recorded of Sonic Youth live dating as far back as Am*dam in 1985. Most of them have been in storage for quite a while and will probably be there a while longer...it's a very long story *yawn*
However, while searching tonight for some other things I found this tape I recorded back on my birthday in 1989.
Bearing in mind that it was recorded on a Walkman that was very much on its last legs and the fact that I was probably on my last legs of the night too, what you hear is what you get!
40 minutes of a rather enjoyable night (from what I can remember *ahem*)
An interesting little side note is that Spaceboy's mum was selling rather tasty home made SY tee shirts from a stall at the back of one of the greatest venues that Melbourne ever had that night with her then partner...I remember speaking to her back then but it would be another 18 years before we met up in a different time and place...
