Christina!

"Star of a film I guess still banned by the Swedish government: THRILLER - EN GRYM FILM (1974). The film that is known abroad as THRILLER, A CRUEL PICTURE or THEY CALL HER ONE EYE just saw a DVD release in USA from the excellent company synapse, and the film (and most surely the DVD) comes highly recommended. Only in an exploitation film can you see such awesome female heroine, such 'out there' 70s interior design and such cold... mean... people.

As a singer however she leave a lot to be desired, let's face it, she is no singer. She can't really sing, but she is very pretty, and the words she sing have their meaning anyway. I may post an English translation to the Swedish lyrics..."

Glasses rocks.

I say this not because of the fanciness of my own Dolce & Gabbana's - I say this because it's a fact. We have Buddy Holly; Elvis and Elvis; John Lennon; and a bunch more. But there are too few of them! I think it's 'cause it takes a real man to wear them, and to wear them good.
This is something Pastor McPurvis at the Vinyl Orphanage have been thinking about. He sais: "Once one of the only acceptable fashion accessories available to men, glasses are slowly disappearing from our cultural landscape. Affordable contact lenses and Lasik surgery are replacing the firm, sturdy, and, dare we say it, manly combination of frame and lenses. ..."
But he also continues: "Fortunately we have found several individuals who will not let the unending march of progress hamper their chosen life statement to the world. Join us in celebrating the wonders of having four eyes." McPurvis points us to Jo Amar who sings only for You! and Bro. Tommy Stone (a man with a title and a name like that would do good even if he was blind I'll tell you!). And here's the wholesome gallery of Men with Glasses. (And don't forget to sing on your way out of the orphanage!)

STRAIGHT PEOPLE ARE CRAZY.

"I am a mind of a monster in the body of a boy. I, a heavy evil highway bandit prowl by car and prowl by midnight feet. I see it in your sisters' faces, whips so wicked, ropes so tight, my fingers rip through garden perfume, body paint the bedspread bright.

I crave warm fluffy things. Kittens, hamsters, feathered fish. Crouching in the country heat, eating legs of chicken hawks, the barnyard grease dribbles down my chin, as I make an important inner space discovery while feeding my human body. My human body holds me its lifetime prisoner. I escape through the tongue splashing into smiles, tears, yells and screams. It is hard for me to appear when the world wants me to, on the surface of my human body. Materialistically the world expects me to communicate on its own terms. I look back and see none. Reality brings about a change. STRAIGHT PEOPLE ARE CRAZY.

By being born wild into this universe you are hereby endowed by nature with all you need for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The world owes you a living - flaming creatures. Go wild until you get it."

Kim Fowley – liner notes to Born to Be Wild (via Garage Hangover)

About Sci-Fi

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, someone had the idea that science would be at its most interesting when it was being subverted. Just as science itself was developing, storytellers began expanding the worlds of physics, biology, chemistry and engineering.
They came up with a universe full of lightsabers, spaceships and robots, steeped in a heady brew of technobabble and draped on a background of journeys to exotic worlds. But science fiction is more than just pulp fiction; at its core is the desire to understand humanity's place in the universe."

Top 10 sci-fi films

"The planet is under attack and only the combined strengths of the world's greatest scientific minds can save us. Which evil geniuses, mad inventors or misguided eggheads can best harness the power of nature?"

Classic comic fanzine covers

"The truth is, I flat-out stole the format for Ultrazine #1 (published in 1978) from The Comic Book Collector, a fanzine by John Harris. "Hey, this looks easy," I thought. (I was 15 years old). My partners in crime were neighborhood pals John Zupkow, Mike Cevarr, and John Steventon. Those first few issues sucked. Thankfully other people joined in, the quality shot up overnight, and Ultrazine developed its own identity. From 1978 to 1982, I published 62 fanzines, with help from more than 125 contributors from across the country. It was the sheer enthusiasm and obvious talents of many of these friends that kept me going so long. (The typical fanzine burnout rate was about 18 months, with eight or nine issues). I was by no means the smartest or most gifted of the contributors to my own books, but I was organized, ambitious, and very persistent -- plus, I had access to a copy machine."
The words are Matt Bucher's.The editor for UltraZine and also the guy making this site possible.

Mass gymnastics under communism

"As the body is considered to be our most reliable, continuous and comprehensive metaphor for life and its meaning, multiplied bodies in mass gymnastics display are in the same way metaphor for desired society and its leadership. The ritual of the display of strong, young, beautiful and disciplined bodies offer an attractive reading of a society as whole and consequently legitimized the leadership as a promoter or creator of such a society. Since its origins in the early 19th century, the symbolic potential of coordinated movements of thousands of trainees has been exploited by various movements and regimes, varying from the extreme right to the extreme left. The purpose of this exhibition is to explore how this symbolic potential was confronted with and transformed by the communist ideology in mass gymnastic rituals all over Eastern Europe. It will study how the key concepts that the mass gymnastic performances offered - strength, youth, beauty and discipline - were transformed into symbols of a strong, young, beautiful and disciplined socialist society, and how this was used to legitimize the leadership, which observed these rituals from the tribunes of stadiums."

The Ravens

"In October 1963, the Boo-Weevils gave themselves a new name. Until the middle or end of January 1964, the band was called "The Ravens," and under this name, the then-current members of the band, Dave Davies, Ray Davies, Pete Quaife, and Mickey Willett, recorded their first songs in the studio." (from Kinks.de)
The fabulous Garage Hangover presents three of the Ravens recordings and tells us: "Calling themselves the Ravens and led by Dave Davies instead of his brother Ray, this early incarnation of the Kinks recorded several demos. Who exactly was in the band or writing songs at this point is still a mystery, but these have more than just historical value."

Indian Ads from the 80's

"Since the response to Tinkle Ads From The 1980s was so awesome, I decided to run another feature showcasing ads from comic books of that decade. This time around, I tracked down some old Indrajal comics to scan and share, although most of the ads there were also seen in Tinkle and other comics. If you don't remember Indrajal comics, you need to take a moment to shoot yourself. These guys published all kinds of crazy shit... they had a few widely-read titles like The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician, as well as other more obscure characters and even some home-grown heroes"

Elmer Bernstein passed a way 18 August. Here's the soundtrack to 'I Love You, Alice B. Toklas', the Peter Sellers comedy from 1968. It is Basic Hip making this quite rare item available for download and enjoyment. "This score was never officially released and came out on a small label in the mid 1970s. The reason for the missing track titles is that there are none - the LP contains no cues!"
http://www.basichip.com/

And now to something completely different! This is a group/artist named RIIA (Really Interesting Audio Adventures) ;-). It's loads of sound. It's mashup in a very free and fun way with lots of love for music. In this soup of sounds you'll be able to hear Beach Boys, Public Enemy, Cyndi Lauper, Astrud Gilberto, Giorgio Moroder and many more in crazy team ups. This is really something to get the party starting and then on through the night.

Week 35: ABBA voor kinderen

Jan Turkenburg's 52 weeks project ("every week in 2004 there will be a link to a page with recordings which are not available in the shop and preferably introduced by the artist him/her/themselve") is now on week 35.

"The following tracks are taken from "ABBA voor kinderen" (Abba for kids) from 1981, performed by a Children's choir in Leiden. The dutch lyrics are by Pieter Goemans, who has written a lot of commercial children lyrics, but these are not his best ones, just like the accompaniment and the singing isn't really outstanding, but at least they didn't let half naked little girls sing "gimme gimme gime a man after midnight", like the Mini pops. Goemans let them sing things like "Look, there's the little gnome" and "Won't you come to my birthday party?". From the liner notes we can only learn that the idea for this album came from Cees Kerkhof, the sleeve was designed by Jan van Uden and Frederico (F. Balke) made the illustrations." and further on: "This week's record was badly damaged and three of the songs I couldn't repair acceptably. So here are two consolation tracks in the same genre, taken from the very limited release CD "Mijn oom is een dinosaurus" (My uncle is a dinosaur), which I recorded especially for two small family members."

Tamba Trio

Don Miller at balansamba.com sais this about the site's newest featured album: "Like Sergio Mendes and many others, Tamba Trio got started at Bottle's Bar on Beco das Garrafas in the Copacabana district of Rio during the early 1960's. The trio consisted of Luiz Eca, Helcio Millito, and Bebeto. Avanço is their second album, and one of my favorites. The album conists of mostly covers by Tom Jobim, Roberto Menescal, and Marcos Valle. There is also a great cover of Jorge Ben's famous Mas Que Nada. The vocals sound very similar to MPB4's harmonic style. Avanço provides light, jazzy renderings of some classic bossa nova tunes. Enjoy!"

"Serge needed all the love he could get"

"She's performing at a rock festival in the former Roman settlement of Avenches in Switzerland, playing to a half-full, ancient amphitheatre as a warm-up act for Lou Reed and German punk diva Nina Hagen. She plays a set of Serge's songs, scored to Arab-influenced music. For all its eccentricity, it's a beautiful concert and one she has been touring with for a couple of years. Sometimes she sits on the edge of the stage like a little girl; then she's drifting about, kissing her band members and telling stories about Serge. By the end the audience joins in with 'Comment Te Dire Adieu'. I see people crying."

Tod Browning; the director of such classics as 'Dracula' (1931) and 'Freaks' (1932) also made some other really interesting and frightening movies. Here's a page displaying some of the posters, lobby cards and film stills from some of his films. As you can tell by reading the posters one of his favorite actors must have been Lon Chaney. Lon was "the man of thousand faces". If he had been hired for The 'Freaks' he surely could have played siamese twins or a legless freak. But Browning wanted the real stuff. And real it is...
