Raymond Wiley and Joe McFall, formerly of OutThere Radio, launched their new show 'The DisInfoCast' today. Raymond, you'll probably be familiar with from many of our shows, and Joe from episode 1.    To kick off events, the dynamic-duo interview Sphinx-obsessed Robert Bauval, who just recently released his latest opus 'The Egypt Code' earlier this month.  The new show, released monthly, is complimented by a weekly news rundown 'DisInfo World-News' which will feature Ken and Claire of this very site, as well as our latest guest Austin Gandy. We'll be joining the fray in November presenting the latest DisInfo news with a European slant.   Subscribers to Out There can get the first few episodes of the show via the old feed before it totally migrates accross to the new Disinfo.com page.    The crew here at SittingNow are excited to hear some new material from the guys, and wish them all the best for the show...break a leg guys!

  Millennium, arguably one of the best TV shows of the last decade, is set for a possible reboot at the hands of a mass-online campaign by its hardcore fan base.    The show, which lasted for three seasons, stared Lance Henrikson as criminal profiler Frank Black. It begun its episodic routine with a 'monster of the week' theme, similar to its sister show The X-Files. However, once in the hands of Morgan and Wong of Willard fame, the show took a more 'mythology' theme with the 'Millenniun Group' taking on the role of a shadowy occult group. Season three saw the show returning to the hands of Chris (I killed the X-Files forever) Carter, and took a less conspiracy-based turn.    Sadly, as with anything good on TV these days it seems, the show ended three years young. However, this wasn't the last time Frank Black would grace our screens. Yes folks, in what should have been the cross-over show of the 90's, Henrikson's Frank Black made a one-off appearance in the X-Files. Unfortunately for us, however, the show...well...kind of sucked. Barely any tangible connection to the original Millennium show was present and Frank Black and Fox Mulder end up fighting zombies in a basement. ...

 George T. Mortimer is the editor and webmaster of the amazing Media Underground, as well as being the author of The Probationer's Handbook, and The Key of it All. Each week Mort will be teaching you ways of keeping 'The Man' on his toes, and all from the comfort of your home.    Mortimer’s Guide To Armchair Anarchy   A couple of weeks ago, Ken invited me on board the Right Where You Are Sitting Now team to contribute a regular column... but what the hell to write about?   “What do you want to write about?” was Ken’s response.   That’s when I realised that being given total freedom is sometimes more complicated than simply being told what to do - which is probably why the planet is in the appalling state that it is today.   Western civilisation, it seems, has degenerated into a society of numbskulls - its population has become decadent, self-obsessed, submissive and soft. All the signs are there for total collapse and, in my opinion, this collapse is well deserved.   As political institutions throw tax-payers money at failing banks, the population inwardly release a sigh of relief, hoping that this temporary fix ...

When Scott offered up his first review, and it turned out to be Preacher, I cursed the skies for not calling shotgun on reviewing that classic series first! However, not to be outdone, I eyed up my own collection of oddball comics and imediatley landed on Lucifer....must be the devils work (drumroll please).   Now, you may be suprised to hear that I actually do not like Neil Gaimen's Lamented goth-fest Sandman, in fact, a mere glimpse of it's 'Sisters of Mercy-esque' covers bring bile to my throat. I might have to re-read the series, however, as my hatred spawns not just from the work per se, but more from the pretensious idiots that idolise it! I swear to god, if I see one more girl trying to dress like 'Death' from the book, I will actually go insane!   Anyway, bearing this in mind, I naturally avoided this long-running spin-off for many years, but the devil got the better of me (ow! they keep coming), and a couple of years ago I found myself flipping through the first book whilst trying to kill some time.  An hour, and a dirty look from the comic-shop's manager later, I decided that I should probably invest in ...

Our 'Guest-Feature' series continues with another great essay from active magician Taylor Ellwood. If you want to learn more about Taylor and his great writings, you can check the links at the bottom of this page, or listen to Episode 13 of the show in which he did a great interview with us...   The Power of Being Open in Magic   In one of my recent articles, I discussed the path of least resistance and how it can work within a magical model. In this article, I expand on how this paradigm works by examining how being open can simplify both your relationships with other people and with magic itself.   One of my philosophies when it comes to interactions with people and interactions with magic is fairly similar and based on understanding that the less complicated a situation is, the easier it is to navigate the situation. This isn't to say that magic and people aren't complicated. They can both be very complicated, but a situation doesn't have to be complicated. Ideally if you remove the complicated factors that you have control of in a given situation, it consequently sets a person at ease, or in the case of magic, makes it much easier ...

Each week we send our Queen of the Weird, Claire Lumiere, into the wilderness of the Internets to find the weirdest reports from the Underground, CounterCulture and the Paranormal mileau! If you have news that you feel demands the attention of the SittingNow community then drop us an email at wwn@sittingnow.co.uk    The BBC reports that a large study on near-death experiences is soon to be carried out on cardiac arrest survivors. The study, coordinated by Southampton University will take about three years and is going to investigate whether people without brain activity or heartbeat can have ìout of body experiences.î Head of the study, Doctor Sam Parnia, says, "If you can demonstrate that consciousness continues after the brain switches off, it allows for the possibility that the consciousness is a separate entity.   Within just ten years, Australia's other favorite marsupial might be extinct. Researchers say that Tasmanian devils are plagued with a facial cancer that their bodies simply don't recognize. Zoos are being turned to for breeding while scientists are working on a vaccine to prevent the cancer. If interested, on the zoo's website is a link to donate to the conservation of the species.   On a similar note ...

Title: Hanson Brothers - 'It's a Living'  Label: Wrong Records/Southern Records Released: Available Now Format: CD/DVD & Double Vinyl         I love it when I get pleasant suprises, and this the latest opus from NoMeansNo's oddball Bar-comedy-punk side-project The Hanson Brothers, has plenty of them!   The first thing that surprised me was my own lack of any observational skills, and how I should probably eye-ball the press release a bit before slamming CDs into my Mac. This CD has a DVD on the otherside, which really baffled for a second! (I had put the disk in the wrong way!)    First up, the music! THB play a blend of punk rock that harks back to the good-ol days of the Ramones and The Ruts-era Punk, but with the added twist of cleverly placed (and actually funny) odd-ball comedy. The CD is setup to sound like a live radio-session, interspersed with band interviews and rants, which actually works really well. If, like me, you are a fan of NoMeansNo, you will instantly recognise the 'sound' of this record...in fact this kind of reminds me of their earlier releases, but with more of a, dare I say, comedy-concept.    The DVD, which I ended up rewinding once I realised my mistake, is, ...

Just when you thought it was safe to crack out your copies of Dianetics and Top-Gun, whore yourself on YouTube and generally be dramatic online; Anonymous returns with an EPIC triple-whammy!... Well, just as Operation Chanology seems to be gasping its last breath, a symptom of internal civil war (old vs. new, vs. moral), Anonymous have risen once again to show us all that the Internet Hate Machine is still active and processing 'lulz' for us all to laugh at! A week or so ago, Anonymous managed to use the 'forgot password' option on Yahoo! Mail to gain access to hockey-mum-republican Sarah Palin's email account. The ensuing reposting of private information (Dox), caused an unusually high level of coverage from the likes of Fox News buffoon Bill O'Reilly and his minions.   Watching Bill attempt to justify his obvious rage-management issues is always a source of great amusement: Challenging the Internets? BAD IDEA!   Sure enough, a few days later O'Reillys website was hacked and it's 'premium' members personal details were smeared all over the internets like a peadophile 'named and shamed' campaign! It was later revealed that O'Reillys web people contacted the afflicted few, informing them of the breach.   That's all? ... nope!   Oprah Winfrey, lover of ...

  The Montauk Monster that supposedly washed up in the Hamptons might be only one in what could be a longer line of bizarre unidentified creatures washing up on shores all over the world. And more recently, in New London a so called "Clapsadle Carcass" had been discovered. "Had" because the carcass is supposdly no where to be found. ______________________________________________________________ A seven year old boy in Australia went on a reptile killing spree at a zoo this past Wednesday, slaughtering 13 animals in total. He was caught on cameras throwing rare reptiles into the crocodile enclosure over a security fence. Zoo officials are currently looking into suing the boys parents since he is too young to be charged. ______________________________________________________________ The oldest known footprint may have been found. The tracks, if legitimate, belong to an animal that lived 570 million years ago. The discoverer says that he expects and welcomes skepticism, but if the find is real, then it would apparently push the advent of walking back 30 million years earlier than any previous solid finding. ______________________________________________________________ According to a new report by the National Cancer Research Institute, patients who are suffering from quote “unfashionable” cancers are being neglected by scientists ...

Best known for his editing role on Monty Python's 'The Life of Brian' and special effects man on Terry Gilliam's 'Brazil', Julian Doyle returns with his B-Movie take on Aleister Crowley in this years 'Chemical Wedding'. Deciding not to take the biographical role, and instead envisioning Crowley in a modern setting, the film took a panning by critics, and Crowley fans alike. We sent in our man, Adrian Dobbie, to find out what Doyles motives and reactions were behind the film... Resurrecting the Beast I've only been in the company of ex-Monty Python collaborator Julian Doyle for half an hour or so but already the conversation has been surprisingly brisk. So far we've discussed the Osirian symbolism behind the story of Abelard and Eloise, the influence of early Christian Britain on the Roman Empire before Constantine and the idea that giants built many of the Neolithic stone circles in the British Isles.  Oh and we've touched on quantum theory too. Just a little.   I'm at Doyle's North London home to interview him about the movie Chemical Wedding, which alongside Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, Doyle co-wrote, directed, edited and produced. To date, Chemical Wedding is by far the most ambitious and commercially successful ...
