I am freaking out that you found this…I have loved le stelle di mario schifano for so long.

Umano Non Umano (1972) by Mario Schifano

featuring Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Alberto Moravia, Carmelo Bene..

I am freaking out that I found this film… I’m a big Mario Shifano fan. He was sort of the warhol of Italy. Check his band here,

It might have taken me a tiny bit longer than usual to be sold on this Faust record. But now I am.

When I used to have a ‘92 subaru station wagon, we used to use a specially-cut piece of 1-by to keep the hatch up for loading or unloading. On it was emblazoned in Sharpie, “Hi-Tech.”

This is the video equivalent of that. It gets the job done (and the end is exceptionally pretty).

I just got home to hear this news. In 2006, I went to see the Slits in Seattle, and wrote this about Ari Up:

Mercifully, they were awesome. And not just a copy of what they were before…
Even better, Ari Up seemed to embody something I’ve been craving to see for a while. She exuded this confident, playful sexuality throughout the show. She was horny, she teased kids in the audience, she strutted, she joked with her bandmates, she asked almost eveyone about the status of their poom poom.
We get this, we get it, and love it, all the time from men, from Mick Jagger on. But from women, too often the sexuality is to prove a point and/or a specific persona…the foul mouthed Peaches, the jailbait Donnas, and so on.
I don’t usually use this space to rant, so I will just say: the show was awesome. When I left, my face hurt from smiling and laughing, too.

Aw. I have rarely loved a band in the way I love the Slits. Where my love for the idea of them is equaled by my love of their music. I found the LP of Cut when I was around 22, I think, and wished I had had it in my teens. I might have avoided a brief, unfortunate singer-songwriter phase if I had known that women’s dissension from the norm could sound like this. Also, I think I should point out that at that 2006 show she drove the other band members mental.

The movie I was in is going to a festival! It was filmed at the HIVE in Vancouver, and is filled with people from local bands. Also it is funny, generally on purpose.

This is a kind of insane supergroup of all the Brazilians I have been listening to lately-Alceu Valença , Zé Ramalho, Lula Côrtes and awesomely freaky Ave Sangria in the back background…
