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...

Burroughs Called the Law

My basic life's religion is a mix of things I got from punk, acid, burroughs, tolkien, norse mythology and total basement hesher satanic death worship... and of all the manners of occult business I've looked into over the years in some kindof quest for context and power this magic is what makes the most sense to me... and it really is magic, dude. it turns the void in on itself, like a big mirror on the power structure... a spell against control and cosmic oppression... a celebration of not being beaten yet, you fuckers... we're on to you... William Burroughs had a way of venomously illustrating the worst and most destructive aspects of human nature and the dangers and excesses of control; both as a concept and as the reality and context we presently exist in. He was also really fucking funny. dude was way ahead of his time, which just becomes more and more evident as you delve further into his work... he was and is doing the good work for our species as a whole. of this I am sure. Anyway, I give this stuff a lot of lip service, and I do spend a good deal of my time listening to these recordings, so I figured it might be cool to share it with my friends or people who might not hear it through the floor late at night at 134 or hear me quoting from it all of the time for seemingly no good reason... For this, I've comprised a mix of some of my favorite bits of Burroughs' spoken voice. There's a lot from place of dead roads and the western lands, a few cut ups, some random stuff and a few nova express era spells and curses... there are a ton of great interviews and other pieces that are way longer and not so easily cut and put into a mixtape, but maybe I'll start in on those at some point... I dunno... I figured this would be a good starter at least, and while certainly not for everyone, I've gotten a lot out of it and I feel a kindof responsibility to pass it on in hope that you might gain from it or do something valuable with it as well.

enjoy.
