"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."—Hunter Thompson

Stop-action Super-fast Freeze-frame Bongo-beat Photography

A bullet piercing, penetrating, pulverizing an otherwise placid pear, from the IDF Tactical Logic website.

IDF Tactical Logic a bunch of cool bullet-going-through-things pictures, along with panoramic shots of destroyer fleets and ads for glock holsters. Definitely a Peace-Through-Superior-Firepower kinda site.

Now let's use the same technology for art. Alva Bernadine 's Slap  
 

 

 

Not a bongo, but more fun to slap.

 


Which do you prefer? 

"A friend phoned me one lunchtime and asked what I was up to. I told her I was taking portraits of people bursting balloons, shooting bottles and smashing panes of glass using a sound activated switch. I could freeze the moment of impact rather like the famous Harold Edgerton picture of a bullet passing through an apple. curtain_cropIn a dark room you attach the switch to the flash then open the shutter of the camera. The sound of impact fires the flash freezing the action at several thousandths of a second.
"She was a submissive and immediately offered her bottom for experimentation. She already had a video of arses wobbling in slow motion. She and her partner came round with a bag full of flagellation implements and we tried them all.
"Subsequently, I decided I wanted to try it on a variety of different shaped arses and asked female acquaintances and women I met at parties to aid me in my objective scientific experiments by having there arse spanked. To my surprise 50% agreed."— Alva Bernadine

 

 
The Ten Things You Don't Know About Britney Spears' Vagina
Friday, 08 December 2006

3disgraceslo "Britney, Lindsay and Paris: The Three Disgraces" by 14.

14, as she is known, is the creative force of one of my favorite sites, Gallery of the Absurd. Simply amazing, hilarious ... a treasure on the internets.

14 writes:

"La Primavera is one of Sandro Botticelli's best known paintings. The angelic figures shown in this ethereal work of art all represent mythological characters. While viewing this painting at the Uffizi, my eyes were drawn to the fluid movement and delicate beauty of the Three Graces. According to Greek mythology, the Three Graces represent beauty, charm and joy. Contemporary mythological characters such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are the antithesis of grace. This makes them the Three Disgraces. They represent sleaze, trash, and desperate cry for attention. What makes these women think we want to see high resolution photos of their bald, flabby, and in Britney's case, Kevin Federline-infected genitalia?"

now what you've all been waiting for:

Here is a little bootleg of John singing "Working Class Hero" with a heavily phase-shifted guitar. Very cool.

Don't know what else to say, except I still miss him after all this time.

 
British Prize For Art That Has No Meaning
Tuesday, 05 December 2006
LONDON — German-born abstract painter Tomma Abts on Monday became the first female painter to land the Turner Prize in the 22-year history of one of the art world’s most controversial awards.

Abts, 38, who has lived in London for 12 years, has said that she begins every piece — they all measure exactly 18.9 inches by 15 inches — with no idea what she is about to paint and that they symbolize nothing at all.

The $49,000 prize was presented by Yoko Ono during a ceremony at London’s Tate Britain gallery.

London artist Rebecca Warren had been the favorite to take the prize; she specializes in sculptures of large cartoon women with what the judges called “humongous knobbly breasts and enormous bobbly buttocks.” [Knox says: be sure to click on the jump to see/read more about Rebecca Warren - he wanted to ridicule her based on this sentence, but did a little research and now he LOVES her.]

DuchampFountain

This is Marcel Duchamp's sculpture The Fountain, 1917. It is often said, "Those who can, do. Those who  can't, duchamp."

The Fountain has "meaning" up the yin-yang. Recently, a cabal of modern curators has advanced the concept of the wall-mounted urinal as the perfect archival medium/repository for the collected works of Yoko Ono.

Riding The Wild Bubble: The HoneyBun Chronicles Part Two
Sunday, 03 December 2006

 

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

 

dirtyharrystorO my brothers: we, all of us in the realms of light and mercy, have watched movies for nearly a century where the bad guy threatens the good guy or the town or the lake and all the good guy has to do is kill the bad guy or chase him and his gang away and life goes back to normal and he gets the beautiful girl.

Were it only so.

Flashback: a Tuesday morning, March 2003.

I had worked until three a.m on the HoneyBun website. Launch approached. Money dwindling. Pay-off on investment coming minutes or days after I get site up: this is the mantra which kept me humming tunefully along as the newly formatted year gained traction in my brain.

My doorbell rang at about 9:00 a.m.

I ignored it: it could only be one of my local guardian angels who would need three or five or ten dollars for booze with which to ease her way off an all-night crack binge or for more drugs to keep it going. They knew better than to ring the bell so early. However, in a true emergency, which it often was — you know how it is when the booze runs out or all the drugs are gone and you simply are not done yet— the doorbell would keep ringing loudly until I wandered to the front windows to see who it was. If I did that, they pretty much knew they had me. So the task was to lie still, to passively resist, to wait them out: an gargantuan battle of wills, which in truth I lost more often than not over the years.
