Shaolin Commuter

Here's an epic battle between an infarct-ready Hong Kong businessman and a simpleminded kid (modern equivalent to Tolstoy and Shakespeare's "holy fool"). I think I'm rooting for the kid, but if you go on pure adrenaline and infarction potential, the old guy's gotta have your vote (along with Donald Trump's)A few choice exchanges have been excerpted below. From the Guardian.

There must be noise
but
our voices are the same
but
yes, did I blame you?
Aren't you good at fight? Fuck!
I've pressure,
You've pressure,
Why did you aggress me?
…
fuck yo momma
Nevertheless, don't fuck the mom
who then should I fuck?

Well, exactly.

From the album "Bacharach Meet the Beatles" this is DAY TRIPPER arranged by TSUTSUMI Kyohei. Note Engerris title.

The YouTube copy says:

TSUTSUMI Kyohei is Japanese composer who write a lot of hit song.This track is from his album "Bacharach Meet the Beatles" in 1971.He arranged Beatles' music in Bachrach's style."Day Tripper" is one of them. Its very "Bond Street" flavor. Funny and fine.

It is indeed both funny and fine. Does anyone else feel like a vodka Martini right about now?

Hmmm, maybe they should talk to Icke over at Paranoia Magazine.

Does this explain everything?

From Gawker, which spotted it in Metro NYC:

Homeless and Artists...different?

We suppose we should be glad at least there’s still a distinction.

Some of my readers will realize just why this lies so close to my wee, shrivelled heart. Of course it has its own blog here which is where all blame for the English that follows should be directed. We thank you for your attention to this matter.

F E S T E V I L
transnational noize fest

june 6 2006
6:06:06 o'clock in the pm

around the public library
vancouver bc canada
&
everywhere else

buckets of spoons, tap shoes, pots & pans, drums, horns, crappy drivetrains, trombones, alarm clocks, nagging, cell phone ringtones, operatic manifestos, caterwauling, velcro, tsk-tsks…noize is all these & more. produce it on bikes bodies big things or little things, electric or accoustic or flavoured. screaming is understandable.
to participate in festEVIL, simply emit evil sounds at 6:06:06. since it is a decentralized event, any place in space is a good spot. the mother festEVIL is in a place called oakland.

from your desk, from your tub, from your roof, from your belly. feed the din.

OR, BRING YOUR NOIZY ASS DOWN TO THE LIBRARY

central branch,
homer
& robson
& georgia
& hamilton
streets

& help make the densest, hellest festEVIL north of the 49th parallel. come 5:30ish or earlier or later; however, refrain from commencing noize until precisely 6:06:06.

psh!
at that time you will begin the din***

the 00scillation 00rkestra will audibly materialize out of thin air, as will the PIT. PIT noizicians are stationary. 00rkestra noizicians are mobile, & usually wheeled. bike trailers are encouraged; you may carry your own noize or PIT members if you so desire.

***there is no conductor. therefore we MUST sychronize our watches.
***the concert will go on for as long as we noizicians hear fitting.
***you should supply your own power source if needed.

pa!
MAKING A BEAST

some orchestras have string sections, wind, rhythm. we have Beast, child of PIT & 00rchestra. if you are PIT & you would like to help make a Beast, find a trailer before 6pm, make evil introductions & perhaps you will be invited to climb in.

ghrlooombh mbh kktkttkshsktt mb mnhnn!

festEVIL beckons musicians noizicians bikers humans & buzzing insects of all types. we must make our own evil to defeat it.
