Radical thinkers: Wilhelm Reich's Sex-Pol
Wilhelm Reich, one of the early pioneers of Freudian psychoanalysis,
wrote widely on sexuality, feminism and politics. But he is most famous
for his 'inventions', the now discredited orgone energy accumulator and
the cloudbuster. At the Freud museum in London, Stella Sandford discusses Reich's legacy and asks if he has anything to teach us today

As Leslie said on Facebook:
Pleases me to note that the (very few) reviews for this record were significantly more generous when the reviewer was under the impression I was a MAN !
Get a load of this purple prose for the Man Singing:
"The main attraction to the listener is the singing-intoning voice of the lead fellow, who may be the French half of the act. Cracked and dusty his vocal cords be, whether through mannered device or naturally desiccated, trying to convey the effect of a dissolute and broken man. Just right for followers of Wm Burroughs we might think, but this sort of prose-speak-sing also shades into areas once occupied by Nick Cave or Michael Gira, as does the lugubrious and dense content. The lyrics are highly ambiguous, even when they seem straight to the point and use plain English at all times. I like to hear multiple repetitions of slightly mysterious phrases in songs and Purity Supreme does this trick very well. The first song keeps saying “It’s Nice To See You”, when the mood of the singer and indeed the music itself is expressing the exact opposite of that sentiment, and it’s a song that wishes we would just go home and stay there. Angst-ridden steel strings and a relentless drum pattern make this snarky item a vicious twin brother to Leonard Cohen’s later works. The second song is slightly more recognisable as something a weary Lou Reed might have recorded at any time between 1975 and 1988, and with its basic guitar and drum sound could almost pass for any decent slab of indie art-rock music. On the flip, even more words and more repetitions in the two remaining songs. So many words, these songs are more like recited poems or short stories really, very much like a slightly nastier Tom Waits or what we might hear if Charles Bukowski turned his throaty husk to song. Indeed the words are privileged by appearing in full on the front cover. And there’s a very strong cinematic component too, with vivid film noir images somehow encoded in the very sound of the record. Narrators alluding to scenes unknown, to backstories we cannot know, and delivered with a snarling curl to the lip at all times. The creators here are the French musician Christophe Van Huffel, and the American writer-composer Leslie Winer. Quite unusual, muscular, and opaque music from these offbeat modern beatniks."

♪♫ The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock and Roll (Director's Cut 2003)

A great documentary film by John Srebalus about heavy music of USA. Music , interviews, live and some of the heavy metal, stoner, doom and drone legends from 1970 till now. More than one hour of great music, historic point of views, attitude and great people.
Ad Break: 'Fist Fuck'
Just fantasising what I'd like to do with those BIG red hands. Starting with whatever artwanker 'creative' came up with the idea. I then might move on to Rossi and see if the hand fits through that 'hole in the nose where all the cocaine goes'. As for Parfitt, I might just pat him on the head as he really is like that annoying shaggy haired mutt that insists upon following you home every time despite repeated shouts of 'fugoff'!
