Amanda Lear : disco on heavy sedatives




I stumbled across the music of Amanda Lear while watching bad German disco videos on youtube which is something I suppose I'm prone to do every now and again. The videos above might blow your mind with their sheer 1970's european disco extravagance- but be warned, fair comrades; It gets even better.

I slowed a bunch of her songs and made a mix which you can download HERE.

Guaranteed to fucking rule your stereo on those late nights when you might be indulging in substance in some dimly lit penthouse somewhere; living decadent and lavish in the ghetto of the mind...
Delicious, yes?

Amanda Lear - Now I'm A Woman

Her backstory is amazing- not only was she a singer and famous model (check the cover of "for your pleasure",) she was also Dali's muse for several years and could be the first trans person to have been on the cover of playboy... Jury's still out on that one, but the idea of it is interesting...  

Anyway, enjoy.

Robert Anton Wilson and Karl Hess




Here's a weird little video I happened upon the other day... It's a discussion between Robert Anton Wilson and prominent libertarian anarchist Karl Hess (click that, it's interesting...). They talk about all sorts of things and detail their experiences in life, politics and philosophy. enjoy...

Propaganda : A total North Korean Buzzkill...



"Presented by an anonymous North Korean professor, this anti-Western propaganda film attacks the moral attenuation, political manipulation and hyper-consumerism that characterize the Western world. In chapters with titles like “Rewriting History,” “Advertising” and “The Cult of Celebrity,” we are treated to a lineup of the most embarrassing occidental excesses and globalization, the “psychological warfare” at the hands of multinationals, shopping-obsessed consumers and the failure of democracy. Then there’s time for the “Grab it!” culture of the one percent and additional moral deterioration in the form of Paris Hilton, unethical TV shows and violent movies and games. Toward the end of this propaganda piece, the role of North Korea in all of this becomes clear: the country would like to offer itself as headquarters for the mounting fight against consumer slavery and greed worldwide."

orrrrrr is it?

Regardless, it's a pretty great idea...

Stephen O'Malley on music and art

Lecture: Stephen O'Malley (New York, 2013) from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo.


I'm not nescessarily the biggest fan of his music, but it was a nice interview and he seems like a good dude... Wish the interviewer was a bit more severe and got into some of this stuff a bit deeper... but... what can you do? I guess aside from interview people yourself...

Fenriz' Black Metal University





This is the drummer of Darkthrone going over the history of black metal as he sees it. Something new? not really, but entertaining all the same. I just like seeing people who love music talk about music... Certainly interesting to metal fans and to people who may be curious about the trve black metal...

(a little bit of overlap with the videos, but whatever...)
