Star Wars‘s climactic battle scene, as reinterpreted by a troupe of … human hands. Be sure to stay tuned right till the finale; it’s delightfully glorious and bloody. Stolen from Japanprobe, a good daily source of weirdness with an Eastern flavour.
And he is speaking to YOU! from the comments on this very blog. And here is what Donnie Davies had to say:
Thanks so much for the support, everybody. I tell you what, mysterious electronic attacks, phone calls from untracable numbers that claim to be the U.S. Postal Service offering to deliver lost packages and an enormous amount of hate mail is enough to make any Minister shrink from God’s mission. But I tell you friends, we can’t let ourselves be intimidated by the influence of a few well placed psychopaths. Liberty is the foundation of this Nation Under God and the people have the right to chose their own messages and have the right to read them as well.
Some people might think this is some kind of organized conspiracy against the message of the Westboro Baptist Church. I didn’t realize when I wrote my song that it might compete with their message. I mean, I was utterly clueless to that. Now that the DJs keep asking me about it I had to think about it and I think people in America have a right to chose their own message. That’s not the same thing as censorship. No one has a right to utterly control what you see, what you hear and what you think. That’s fundamentally anti-American and you should fight it with a resolve that strikes to the very core of your being even if it risks everything you have, otherwise America risks losing everything it is and should be.
First MySpace deleted my account and now they have deleted the account of our band. First they censored me and now they’ve censored people I’m connected to. If you are a MySpace user, don’t allow this. Every one of you who believes in the Freedom of Expression, whether you like our song or not, needs to step up to bat.
Well that will stop them. An amazing little video from nakedrabbit which manages to be cute, wistful, sad, uncloying and profound all at the same time; it’s the dystopian version of Le Petit Prince.
After long struggles, this new film is complete! A two-minute stop-motion music video of sorts, “Over the Hiccups” is part of Negativland‘s new DVD “Our Favorite Things.” Though this film was conceived and executed long in advance, a peculiar and sad coincidence emerged when a friend of the filmmaker’s chose to leave us in exactly the same manner portrayed in the film. It is respectfully dedicated to her.
A Columbian public service announcement; some claim it was banned, but if it was produced by the government it seems unlikely to have been banned. Okay, so perhaps the director, crew and cast were taken into the jungle and shot, but no: it wasn’t banned.
