♪♫ Ike Yard Mix for Electronic Explorations 266
“This mix skitters across three and half decades, pulls in some of our touchstones from the late 70’s – early 80’s, and moves over the next two decades touching down on some outstanding tracks that pushed that original aesthetic forward – expanding it, redefining it for both the uninitiated and those of us that have followed it through time.

'The Serpent of Sex-Perversion' (11 March 1932)
Review of Ken Wark's 'The Beach Beneath The Street' & 'The Spectacle of Disintegration'
Wark’s two books work sequentially, although they also loop around the same figures and concepts. They could be treated as histories of the Situationist milieu and its aftermaths, but to do so would miss entirely what makes them such compelling and, at times, hilarious reading. Wark does not set out to write a conventional scholarly account of the Situationists. As he reminds us at numerous moments, his work has no claim to originality. He does emphasise some of the more neglected figures associated with the movement, but what really drives The Beach Beneath the Street and The Spectacle of Disintegration is their impatience with contemporary cultural and intellectual institutions that, for all of their posturing, are largely complicit with the prevailing political order. Wark is himself a Professor of Culture and Media at the New School in New York City, and while I am guessing that the New School isn’t as obviously neo-liberal as many other universities in the U.S., the sense of him writing angrily about institutional conditions he knows all too well is partly what gives his work its verve and energy.

Julian Assange on Bradley Manning's trial
MOREBradley Manning may not give evidence as to his stated intent (exposing war crimes and their context), nor may he present any witness or document that shows that no harm resulted from his actions. Imagine you were put on trial for murder. In Bradley Manning's court, you would be banned from showing that it was a matter of self-defence, because any argument or evidence as to intent is banned. You would not be able to show that the 'victim' is, in fact, still alive, because that would be evidence as to the lack of harm.
But of course. Did you forget whose show it is?
The government has prepared for a good show. The trial is to proceed for twelve straight weeks: a fully choreographed extravaganza, with a 141-strong cast of prosecution witnesses. The defense was denied permission to call all but a handful of witnesses. Three weeks ago, in closed session, the court actually held a rehearsal. Even experts on military law have called this unprecedented.
Bradley Manning's conviction is already written into the script. The commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces, Barack Obama, spoiled the plot for all of us when he pronounced Bradley Manning guilty two years ago. "He broke the law," President Obama stated, when asked on camera at a fundraiser about his position on Mr. Manning. In a civilized society, such a prejudicial statement alone would have resulted in a mistrial.

♪♫ 3kStatic + Stephen Mallinder - Nag Nag Nag
Arguably a classic of early-period Cabaret Voltaire - and a defining moment in the emergence of Industrial music - 'Nag Nag Nag' merged Cabs' sense of punk angst with new and distorted sounds.
The 2013 version by 3kStatic + Stephen Mallinder stays true to form, while taking a sinister approach in its own right.
After nearly a year in the works, the final version was recorded, arranged and finalized in record time, with Mallinder's fresh new vocal take in the fore.
EP also includes the 41 minute-plus ambient track 'Retrogressive'

(Mona's faux-pas #1: I had just been given a whole heap pf promo postcards for Odyshape and was at a gig by either Paul Rogers or Paul playing with Talisker and I saw my friend Kent, so I handed him one of the cards not knowing that Gina and him had split up a couple of days before...if looks could kill!)
