A short film about Alan Vega
Bonus:
Suicide performing live at Rothko NYC on Sep 3 2004. This was the evening of the last day of the Republican Convention and the 'devil' he refers to is, of course, George W. Bush
Tony Fletcher, author of ""All Hopped Up and Ready to Go: Music from the Streets of New York" reads from the book and interviews Alan Vega of Suicide at Brooklyn Public Library NYC on Dec 10 2009

Who woulda thought that young what 14/15 year old hawking copies of his (really good) fanzine 'Jamming' would end up here...
Africa Hitech Interview - AllSaints Basement Sessions
Africa Hitech is the collaboration between the multi-alias production wunderkind Mark Pritchard and the celebrated soul singer Steve Spacek. The project combines the clinical beats and heavy bass dynamics of grime with the organic feel of soca and reggae to devastating effect.
DJ Zhao - Punk In Africa Mix
presented by www.punkinafrica.co.za / ngomasound.wordpress.com
In the era of branded lifestyle packaging, still sometimes something happens which makes us question our ideas of who makes/listens to what, what that means, how this informs the construction of social identity, whose values are projected by which aesthetic, and which “genres” are assigned to what class and ethnic group. I think the release of this film (www.punkinafrica.co.za) may be one of those times, and i hope this mix is one of those things, demonstrating the connectedness between Rock and Roll and its African roots, between power chords and dance beats, between decades past and today, between defiant youth in London and defiant youth in Zimbabwe – and that the same rhythmic blood and spirit of revolt runs in all of our veins.
This mix includes exclusive mashups and re-edits, and goes from Punk to heavily Africanized Rebel Rock to Post-Punk, Dance-Punk, Political Dub, Punk Step, 60s Afro-Garage Techno, Bass Music and beyond, features remixes of Congotronics and a couple of tunes not from the motherland, but surely in keeping with the Afro-Punk spirit.

Gang Of Souls: A Generation of Beat Poets
'Gang of Souls' (1989) is Maria Beatty's engaging documentary exploring the insights and influences of the American Beat Poets. The film conveys their consciousness and sensibility through candid interviews with William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Diane Di Prima, among others. Designed as a tribute to them and to their spirit of artistic freedom, Gang of Souls also weaves in additional commentary from contemporary musicians, poets and writers such as Marianne Faithfull, Richard Hell, Lydia Lunch and Henry Rollins. The film seeks to truly capture the magic of the Beat generation and it's continuing legacy. It brilliantly expands upon how the poets reached new levels of creativity and inspired unprecedented social change.
"Israel’s own leaders understand the necessity of peace" may be one of the more absurd things Obama's said in office.

Motoi Yamamoto's Incredibly Intricate Salt Mazes
The story about why Yamamoto started down this path is a sad and tragic one. He was a third-year student at the Kanazawa College of Art in 1996 when his younger sister died at the young age of 24 — two years after being diagnosed with brain cancer. To ease his grief and to honor her memory, he starting working on these installations. Salt has a special place in the death rituals of Japan, and is often handed out to people at the end of funerals, so they can sprinkle it on themselves to ward off evil. Since 2001, he's been creating these amazing floor installations by filling a plastic bottle, usually used for machine oil, with white salt and then sprinkling it on the floor.
The Hakone installation (seen above and immediately below) looks like a giant tree with visible branches. Working 14 hours a day, it took him two weeks to complete.
As he told Japan Times, "I draw with a wish that, through each line, I am led to a memory of my sister. That is always at the bottom of my work. Each cell-like part, to me, is a memory of her that I call up, like a tiff I had with her over a pudding cake she took from the fridge. My wish is to put such tiny episodes together."

Google and Privacy
...Its dossier of information on users also proves a source of concern to online activists. The company, whose headquarters is in California, is subject to search orders from the US government for any user, regardless of their nationality. Like other online businesses, Google complies with orders from governments. This was seen in a high-profile subpoeana for the email records of the WikiLeaks supporter Jacob Applebaum. If a subpoena is sealed, a user may never even be told their details have been handed over. Google is, however, transparent in revealing how many information requests it gets. Between January and June 2011, it was asked by governments for data on 25,000 of its users worldwide, and complied in handing over the information in around 19,000 of the cases. The US government asked for details on 11,057 users, while the UK asked for 1,444.
