Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On Me
"A film full of positive energy, an endless source of life".
The legendary Screamin’ Jay Hawkins was a great influence on many musicians and his performances were so highly provocative in their originality that even today they can be considered “revolutionary”.
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins met Nicholas Triandafyllidis and commissioned him to make a documentary about his notorious life in and out of the music industry. Screaming Jay came to Greece and he gave his very last concerts in Thessaloniki and Athens, before his sudden death in Paris in 2000.
Having been left a legacy of confidential sessions and footage of his final live performances, Triandafyllidis completed the film with a little help from Jay’s friends: Jim Jarmusch (director of Ghost Dog), Bo Diddley, Eric Burdon (The Animals), Rudi Protrudi, Diamanda Galas, Arthur Brown (The Crazy Word of Arthur Brown), Andre Williams and others.
He remained faithful to their common vision.

HA!
Mitt Romney's inconsistencies about leaving Bain make him the first man in history to lie about not lasting that long.
DECODER (1984)
MUZAK is more than MUSIC. DECODER is a legendary German cult film (from 1984) based on the writings and themes of William S. Burroughs. Burroughs himself acts in a key scene in the film, along with F.M. Einheit (Einstürzende Neubauten), Christiane F., Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) and underground film star Bill Rice.
The story of urban chaos and intrigue focuses on the sonic experiments of the disillusioned “noise freak” FM, who is experimenting with music and infra-sound (low-frequency noise). In search of new and extreme sounds he stumbles into a kind of black mass being celebrated by urban pirates. He is able to convince them to join him in his search for an antidote to muzak, as he discovers that the musical tranquilizer can become a brain poison. After distributing multiple copies of their anti-tape the urban pirates successfully induce nausea in H-Burger restaurants, not to the liking of their multinational headquarters who promptly dispatch a special agent to stop the tape-terrorism which spreads rapidly, leading to mass civil disobiedience and street fighting.

Scanner - From land, at sea and in the air
This sonic journey will take you from human powered transportation – walking, running, swimming, through the advent of technology with bicycles, boats and aircraft.
Often traversing the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, Scanner is renowned for creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways. His work has won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen.

Heterosis – A Kinetic Typeface
The typeface featured in this video was
constructed from transparent acrylic and transparent elastic. All the
characters were photographed 60 times at intervals of 6 degrees of
rotation in order to produce the motion loop.
Each character in this kinetic typeface was designed by 'blending'
two (essentially 1 dimensional) vector lines across a spatial plane in
order to produce a 3 dimensional letter. The result is a set of
characters that holds more possibilities than the standard 2 dimensional
alphabets to which we are accustomed.Via
I will remind everyone talking about Condi: Drudge regularly links to Alex Jones stories. That is all.
Hassan-i Sabbah and the Secret Order of Hashishins
One thing I have never really understood is the supposed use of hashish as a primer for battle etc. Wouldn't it more likely to have been khat they used?
When Black Metal's Anti-Religious Message Gets Turned on Islam
To fans of heavy music, the hallmarks are immediately recognizable. This is raw, mid-tempo black metal, a lo-fi example of heavy metal's most evil subgenre. Black metal feeds upon hatred, nihilism, and anti-human behavior. Extremity is everything. It drinks the blood of Christ, turns upon its own, and takes almost carnal pleasure in the theory and imagery of war. The music from the early days of this scene conjured images of the ashes of burned churches and the dried blood of murder, and yet the genre, in its middle age, often doesn't shock the way it once did. The hellish noise of this particular song, though, does. There's something different about it. This is real...

Romney stayed longer at Bain
The timing of Romney’s departure from Bain is a key point of contention because he has said his resignation in February 1999 meant he was not responsible for Bain Capital companies that went bankrupt or laid off workers after that date...
