A suitably creepy promo vid for a March 2011 release under the frequently used alias AFX entitled Seaside Specials. New work by Mr. James is always welcome !
UPDATE: This isn’t AFX, just a misleading ad for a festival. Sorry !
Invariably, whenever I ask myself if something is a little too far out even for Dangerous Minds, the answer is always “Nah” but this time I’m not so sure (notice that I say this, then post it anyway). These clips are a disturbing look into the, er, private world of a fellow whose name I am going to leave out of this. A fellow who is distressingly fixated on a porn model by the name of Katie McMillan. It seems like this guy met (or passed by) Katie at a college party, found out she was on a porn website called Matt’s Models and… it seems like his life pretty much went downhill from there.
That was eleven years ago. He claims that it’s impossible for him to hold a job because he’s so fixated on masturbating to Katie’s ass or feet, buying her used panty hose and taping pictures of her face to one of his many love dolls. She controls his life, he says and I believe him. Good times!
Since 2008 he’s posted 30 clips to his YouTube channel, which almost no one has watched. It’s gone on too long to be a joke, but I can’t tell exactly what this guy’s motivation is, perhaps it’s all a cry for help? He also has a Yahoo! group about his Katie McMillan hobby. Explore the inside of his head further at your own risk.

Last year, after a decade’s hiatus, Olivier Moreau resurrected Imminent (formerly known as Imminent Starvation), the moniker by which he pioneered the convergence of industrial power and electronic music in the 1990s. After his seminal record Nord in 1999, Moreau smashed his mixing desk, and gave pieces of it away with a limited edition of the disc. Since then, Olivier has worked on a variety of collaborations as Axiome, Ambre and Myrza.
However, Moreau has not allowed Imminent to flounder, instead, in the best ad man’s jargon, has “cask conditioned” his music to achieve its full potential.
like any good whisky that has to mature for at least 10 years in a cask, it took the same time for this release to maturate - and it was worth awaiting the ripening. indeed the music is comparable to a cask strength whisky’s taste: raw, aggressive, powerful, without any concession or any additive to dilute it’s true nature, but it also includes a lot of complexity that awaits to be discovered by a true connoisseur.
Imminent’s Cask Strength is available on CD, and in a special boxed edition. There is also a whisky tumbler available. Having just completed a successful tour of Russia, Imminent play London on the 27th November.
Russian photorapher, Alla Esipovich’s photo series “No Comment,” reminds me of David Lynch or Joel-Peter Witkin. Her unusual models and moody black and white images capture a bizarre, circus-esque world. I like them.

Looks like the hate-filled, hateful haters of the Westboro Baptist Church got an unambiguous glimpse of how the outside world feels about them, yet again this weekend, when their tires were slashed in Kansas, but it gets even better, as no one would help them:
McALESTER - Members of a Kansas church that protests at military funerals may have found themselves in the wrong town Saturday.
Shortly after finishing their protest at the funeral of Army Sgt. Jason James McCluskey of McAlester, a half-dozen protesters from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., headed to their minivan, only to discover that its front and rear passenger-side tires had been slashed.
To make matters worse, as their minivan slowly hobbled away on two flat tires, with a McAlester police car following behind, the protesters were unable to find anyone in town who would repair their vehicle, according to police.
Over 1000 people turned out to counter-protest the group drown out the cult’s by now familiar refrain of “God Hates Fags” etc, etc.
Update: Dangerous Minds pal Matt Dunnerstick points out, “God hates flats.”

Since I don’t speak Korean, I don’t want to read too much into the behavior on exhibit here, but it does look a bit strange, even to someone raised in the heart of the Bible belt. Is this a mass infusion of the holy spirt or some sort of (mainly) female shamanism, a variety that doesn’t translate so easily? It really starts to, uh, really cook, at about 1:17 in, but at least sample the beginning, as it makes what follows seem all the more surreal. Pentecostalism Korean-stylee or what?
The same person who posted the video above also posted this. It’s pretty amazing/weird, almost like a Haitian voodoo ceremony. Dig the bongo players!:
Heartbreaking images of children as young as four-years-old employed in production factories during the Industrial Revolution. Their faces, prematurely aged by hazardous working conditions, tell a truly sad story of a childhood lost forever.

I’m not quite sure this is what J.K. Rowling had in mind when writing the Harry Potter series. It kinda gives a new meaning to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Airwave Ranger of ‘Everything Is Terrible!’ re-mixed bits and pieces of 1994 South African boxoffice smash There’s a Zulu On My Stoep (there’s a Zulu on my porch) into something all together surreal and quite frankly disturbing. The movie is supposed to be a madcap comedy for kids ala The Gods Must Be Crazy, but the re-mix creates something racially and sexually charged. You can find the flick in its entirety on Youtube as Yankee Zulu. But I have the feeling its not nearly as interesting as Airwave Ranger’s redux.
