An appropriately mad new video for a very jammy tune from the legendary Squarepusher off his last LP Just a Souvenir.  I normally prefer his more obviously micro-programmed sounding stuff to his more fusion like workouts such as this, but I can really get behind the lone hippy-weirdo-freak-out-in-the-home-studio vibe of the video. And how.

 
thx Dave Madden !

 
Despite the fact that I found this private press gem on the derogatorily named blog Glorify The Turd, and the cover art is a masterpiece of mid 70’s delusional douchebaggery, I can’t get this damn song out of my head ! Sure, dude can’t really sing and the show-offy guitar licks are wildly out of place with the wobbly rhythm section but this really puts me in the mind of the breezily casual messed up tunes of Kevin Ayers or even the Kinks. Plus: The song is called Mellow Heaven Clout, which must be one of the hippest song titles I’ve ever heard. And those spring reverb hand claps ! Play on repeat until happy.
 

 
Dangerous Minds pal, Julien Nitzberg, director of the amazing documentary The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, sent the following short note to Boing Boing’s Xeni Jardin and myself:

“I was excited when Dangerous Minds profiled me. I was complimented by Boing Boing writing about me.  But why does this make me the happiest of all: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t711880/  WOW!”

Nothing says you’ve really hit the big time quite like seeing your nose and ethnicity mocked on a white-supremacist forum like Stormfront, eh? It easily trumps an SNL parody!

A sampling of what the skinhead Roger Eberts at Stormfront think of Jullien’s documentary:

This is the most anti-white, offensive thing I’ve ever seen.—Cougarspeed

Did you see the nose on Nitzberg???? I could park my motorscooter in there.—White Reverence

How do you like that jew who created the film? Seems like jews have a nose for what people will buy. Heh. Jews can smell actual metal gold from fifteen feet away…I swear. They are the perfect “middle man”. And they will do/film ANYTHING for money.—Embattled Warrior

The Wild Whites of West Virginia opens theatrically at the end of June. Available now as a download on Amazon and on POV from many of the large cable operators.

Meet the wolf-pack! They’re not goth. They aren’t “Emo,” either. They’re something altogether goofier! Not so much mall-rats as mall-wolves, I suppose. And they will have you know that they are not posers!

Another high water mark in the saga of Juggalokind. YouTube Juggalo TwiztidAsh tells you about, but does not demonstrate, his many talents. Riveting.

If, like me, you have major problems detaching yourself from King of Pop weirdness, this was a big week for you.  A series of answering machine conversations purportedly of Jackson babbling druggily about his finances was just released in Britain to The Sun newspaper.  Here are some highlights:

“It is Michael calling.  It is very important, I want that 150 in that account for me, because…I am very concerned about my life.  I am hearing a lot of stories that (name withheld) is still trying to sabotage…me…I want to be away for a while where they can’t find me.”

A second message adds, “It is Michael.  It is 4:30 in the morning here that’s why I sound very sleepy and I’m really worn out…but please check the message I left a day or so ago.  I am very concerned.  I don’t trust that man.  We think he’s bad, we think he is Italian mafia.  Please…we must be smarter than him.  So please, help me with this…I wanna be away…I don’t want to be in Neverland right now.”

WTF?  Italian mafia?  Anyway, now it’s coming out that Jackson’s long-isolated (and frequently masked) children, Paris and Blanket (or someone in their circle), have been uploading clips of themselves to the YouTube.  Blanket appears to be a fan of Star Wars, and Paris, evidently, likes…monkeys (but hopefully not chimps).

So, maybe, so far, so good?  Keep it up, kids!  Despite the nuttiness of your possibly non-biological father, you two seem entirely normal! 

 
Michael Jackson’s Kids Are Big Hit on YouTube

 
No, this is not the aftermath of a Justin Bieber concert, these girls are giddy for Jesus. This YouTube clip of Pentecostal teenage girls seen “speaking in tongues” after a church service is a depressing thing to watch. These girls are the victims of peer pressure and slow, steady intellectual child abuse. Compare and contrast their brainwashed hysteria to that of the religious/sexual hysteria of the nuns in Ken Russell’s classic—but seldom seen—film, The Devils.

I suppose there were times in my pre-Chatroulette life where I was “bored,” but, um…never this much!

Boynton Beach police said a 37-year-old man called a California police department and said he was raping a teen because he was bored.  Paul Hartness was charged with filling a false report of commission of a crime.  Redding, Calif., police said Hartness called a non-emergency number Thursday and said he was in the process of raping a 15-year-old boy at a Days Inn hotel.  Police searched all local hotels but were not able to find Hartness.

Officers were then able to trace the phone number to Farnworth Drive in Boynton Beach.  Redding police then called Boynton Beach police who found Hartness at his home.  Hartness told police he made the phone call because he was bored and had not actually raped a 15-year-old.  Police said Hartness has behaved similarly in the past.

Police: Man Falsely Reports Sex Assault Out Of Boredom

 
Last night when I stumbled across the Bob Dylan/Bette Midler bootleg on Vimeo, I saw that the poster, dagb (that’s all I know about him and I suspect he would like to keep it that way) had also uploaded One Man’s Week, the 1975 documentary about the late great British eccentric and Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band singer, Vivian Stanshall. Erudite—and alcoholic—Vivian is interviewed and seen working on his African-influenced album Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead.

If you’re a Bonzos fan, this is a little bit of heaven, I promise you.
 

 
For a quick overview of who Stanshall was and why you should care, I suggest watching this, first:
 

 
Pastor Steven L Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church (and Teabagger) preaches that men must urinate while standing up.  This is what being a man is all about. And it’s emblematic of everything that’s wrong in the world. Apparently. And did you know that President Obama probably pees sitting down. too? That’s what the good reverend thinks! How he knows this, I can’t say.
 

 
This has to be one of the most bizarre (and meaningless!) sermons ever delivered in a Christian church. And he’s got more of ‘em! Check out his diatribe against women wearing pants below. It’s almost as good. What were the parishoners thinking when this guy went off like this? And YES, this is the same guy who was tazed at the border last year and the same idiot how prayed for Obama’s death. I suspect this won’t be the last we hear from him, what do you think?

I think he’s a bell end!
