LOL. Haven’t heard this in a long while… G’day Scott…! Also… ATR are back. “Having previously worked with Saul Williams, Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails, CX KIDTRONIK is an unstoppable and explosive MC as politically minded as the rest of ATR that bring his own element to the band.” (Note to self: Do more posts like you’re doing liner notes for an ’80s grindcore band… like Doom… who’ve finally hit the mainstream c/o filthy icon Lady Gaga and her ‘Telephone’. Also G.I.S.M.… Useless Blockades For the Corporate Sector!)

Writing in The Guinea Pigs (Penguin, 1974, Minuteman Press, 1981), John McGuffin (1942–2002) defines sensory deprivation as follows:

Sensory deprivation (SD) refers literally to the artificial deprivation of the senses – auditory, visual, tactile and kinesthetic. In connection with the Northern Ireland ‘guineapigs’ it meant (1) hooding prisoners prior to their interrogation; (2) constant use of a sound machine which produces ‘white noise’, a high pitched hissing, mushy sound; (3) long periods of immobilization, being forced to lean against a wall, legs wide apart with only the fingertips touching the wall; (4) little or no food or drink; and (5) being forced to wear loose overalls, several sizes too big. In addition, (6) prisoners were deprived of sleep for days on end; while not technically SD this accentuates the process. There is a purpose behind all these actions. Measures (1), (2), (3) and (5) cause visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile deprivation while measures (4) and (6) deprive the brain of oxygen and sugar necessary for normal functioning. In addition, measures (1), (4) and (6) may disturb the normal body metabolism.

The UK government today announced a scheme to link the latest Japanese mobile phone technology with compulsory ID cards thereby allowing them to track every UK citizen at any time.The technology won't be limited to just location either as it utilises sensors, known as accelerometers, which will allow the government to determine just exactly what it is you are up to.Governmental men in white coats

A family from Ystrad, Rhondda in Wales have found a picture of Jesus Lemmy from the band Motorhead in a jar of Marmite. Claire Allen, 36, said she was the first to notice the image on the underside of the lid as she was putting the yeast spread on her son's toast.Her husband Gareth, 37, said he could not believe his eyes when he saw it.Mr Allen, of Ystrad, Rhondda, said: "The kids are still

take me to your world

and here is a performance of surpassing excellence:

virtuosa bravura coloratura etc performance of the ways to love a man one thing to see is that something can be kitschy or campy and still be great art, or an authentic expression of emotion; no one has ever shown that more directly than tammy. to me a song like that is both funny and moving. well also of course sexy in a double-entendre way. one thing that kills me about tammy is the impassive stage persona - she barely moves or changes expression - in connection and contrast to the explosive emotionality of the singing. from the same album in the same vein but not up on youtube?: "enough of a woman." the, um climax here is right at 1:45.

it might surprise you, or it might not, to know that my favorite singer of all times in any genre is tammy wynette, so i'm glad to learn about an excellent bio. she sounds like a handful, which one could already detect. if you're a hip hop artist, the beat is mechanized, perfectly consistent. if you're a blues or a bluegrass artist, the tempo increases as you go. if you're a real country artist, it slows down. what you want to check out is the second item in the reel below: "too far gone." it's as extreme as country singing ever got: tammy delays so long hitting the note that you begin to wonder if the song can ever end. the agony is exquisite.







i think what i really enjoy is the way she tears open my chest with her bare hands and devours my heart in a blood frenzy.

From Twitter: "Jon2aylor Trevor Phillips attacks grip of middle class http://bit.ly/dw2aHB >Phillips is right about this.."The definition of 'middle-class' is so fluid as to have rendered itself redundant as this article clearly testifies. The term is so meaningless that it has now begun to irk me, like so much else, when I see it used by people who you would think would know better.I don't have
