9:19 pm - A single sheet of newspaper, they learned, could become a crude dagger.
|
|
They learned the art of silent killing, perfected by W.E. Fairbairn, the legendary British Major, sometimes known as "Delicate Dan." Knife strokes taught, should be upward, from the testicles to the chin. The hand in a "tiger claw" position was most effective for gouging out eyes. A single sheet of newspaper, they learned, could become a crude dagger. Fold the paper to approximately six inches by two inches. Then fold it diagonally to form a sharp point at one end. Drive the pointed end hard into the stomach or under the jaw, just behind the chin.

lisa suckdog has a book out.
i found some mp3s of rdf and df118, the crusty skank bands that fisheye used to work with / be in..(?)
k-punk's blog, with an interesting piece on kate moss:
'The politics of enjoyment
The 'scandal', such as it is, clearly centres upon enjoyment: she has it, whereas 'we' - the interpellated subjects of the tabloid stories - are denied it. The British tabloid press has long understood the appeal of stories that play upon readers' resentment of Those Others who Enjoy (such stories are especially popular if the Enjoyment is seen to be at 'our' expense). The fantasy space that the lurid 'revelations' about lesbian orgies and 'fist-sized' balls of intoxicants opens up is that of an impossible, obscene, total enjoyment, an enjoyment which is only possible for Others (there are innumerable, supposedly contingent, reasons why we don't have access to Total Enjoyment, but they, they revel in it...) At a certain point, the moral condemnation of obscene luxury inevitably gives way to an acknowledgement that Total Enjoyment was not, in fact, possible, as 'irresponsible hedonism' becomes 'My Cocaine Hell'. The resentment of enjoyment is only sated once this final stage is reached, and it is satisfied that the enjoyment was not there to be had in the first place.
The big Other must not see all
There can be no-one who was shocked or even slightly surprised by the 'revelations' about Moss. Model takes cocaine... Next....
But we will be missing one of the lessons that the Moss affair has to teach if we simply sigh and move on, since nothing could more clearly exemplify how the the big Other functions in contemporary culture than the way in which Moss has been treated. Zizek has tirelessly insisted that we are liable to overlook the importance of the enormous difference between what is known universally (but secretly) and what is known officially. Terrible consequences always ensue once unacknowledged, obscene popular knowledge crosses over into the official culture. The big Other resides in the distinction between our all knowing something and it being publicly acknowledged, so when something that was once universally known is actually publicly 'revealed', the big Other must act. Or, better (given that the big Other doesn't exist, except as a retrospeculative fiction), officials feel that they must act on the big Other's behalf. As a perfect example of the latter phenomenon, witness the now almost completely discredited Ian Blair's ludicrous pronouncements about the Met considering action against Moss because of 'the possible effect on impressionable young people'. 'Impressionable young people' is of course one of the names of the big Other, one of whose crucial features is that it cannot know all. We might all know that models and celebrities routinely use class A drugs, but the big Other does not know.'
finally, i managed to look at this page without bashing any off - thanks prince albert, i hope you're not developing somekind of fetish there..

12:27 am - Personal motto: No Smash Hits, no comment.

Some nights, though, I think 'No, I won't be a bedsit ghost.'
I fling open my wardrobe double-doors, take out my hippest
garments, array them on the bed, and climb into the wardrobe
and shut the doors.

R.D. Laing believed you can trace character back to conception -
that the person you are could be conditioned by the fuck that
made you.
My parents were both teenagers, it was just an urgent sex-thing,
a dumb, stupid, pointless fuck - and, lo and behold, so am I.

I grew up among Italians, and as a kid there was this one
shop I used to hate having to walk past. Whenever I did the
shopkeeper would come out on to the stoop and go 'Hey you!
I fuck ya mother!' And I'd shout back 'Hello Dad'.

1:28 am - sonic catherdral of sound
|
Why are we still interested in this music? ''What Bauhaus were a part of, that whole period, was a burst of very bracing modernism," says pretentious music journalist Simon Reynolds by phone from New York. Reynolds is the author of ''Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-1984." ''You had all these very interesting guitarists, using all these different effects and devices but all with a certain freshness and angularity, doing things that didn't sound like the Rolling Stones and didn't sound like Jimmy Page or anything that had gone before. And Daniel Ash was certainly one of them."
That Bauhaus was so energetically mocked in its day is a testament to the musical wealth of the post-punk era. A band arriving today with the power of Bauhaus would have critics on their knees.
''What increasingly burdens alternative music as it goes on," says Reynolds, ''is the non-modernism of it, so I think all of the post-punkers deserve a huge pat on the back, because their music was really the last moment before this retro thing took hold, the last moment when the music was of its time, rather than alluding or referring back to some previous time. After them, things changed."
