The Spiritual Siginificance of Music – an interview with author Justin St Vincent

I first met Justin St Vincent via a Mike Patton live-recording swap group back in the early 00′s. At the time, he had a copy of the first Mr Bungle show I went to in London (’96), and I had very little to offer in return. Very kindly, Justin made me a copy anyway, and [...]

Say hello to Daddytank Records

It seems that Kim Monaghan, our intrepid music reviews editor, and writer of steel has been straying away from the sitting now nest!: ‘Sitting Now regulars will no doubt be familiar with my alter ego, Daddy Tank. Well, that ego has continued to expand almost exponentially and is now too large to be contained in [...]

Isaac Bonewits: 1949 – 2010

It is with a heavy-heart that I report the death of Isaac Bonewits. Isaac was a leading figure in modern-occultism, and a true rebel in the scene. We had Isaac on our show last year, and he was a really nice, and funny, guy. Isaac is a man  that has actually gone out there and [...]

Kenneth Anger makes a fashion film?

This is a bit insane. Kenneth Anger, occult-savant, and legendary avant garde film-maker has produced a 2 and half minute film for a fashion house. Dangerous Minds reports: Rather astonishing news from the fashion and film world. Dangerous Minds’ favefilmmaker Kenneth Anger has released a two-and-a-half-minute film dealing with the fall/winter collection of the Varese-based [...]

Alba Lua – The Ballad of Joseph Merrick (Satellite of Love)

The Ballad of Joseph Merrick should involve the following; a group of musicians dressed in Victorian garb with sacks over their heads, topped by bowler hats. They would play atonal circus jazz and speed metal, but with trombones and egg maracas and old fashioned bike horns. At the climax of the show, the group would [...]

Black Saturn vs subduxtion – Cosmic Karma (Alrealon Music)

Another mini release from the consistently professional duo sees two new tracks (“Conquering Echo” and “Dreamer”) backed up by two remixes from Alrealon stable mates Fluid and Restless. Black Saturn is a talented vocalist and always comes up with something intriguing to lay over subduxtion’s industrial space hip hop, but his performance is a little [...]

Why you should probably not use Foursquare

If you haven’t heard of it before, Foursquare is a new social-network thingy that has taken the Internet by storm. Put simply, you go to a place, and you ‘check-in’. Once you check-in, a Twitter-esque post appears on your profile with your geographic location, and the details of the venue. What’s the incentive? Good point, [...]

Grasscut – 1 Inch / ½ Mile (Ninja Tune)

Opening tune “High Down” should be enough to win anyone over to Grasscut’s way of thinking. An intelligently combined chimera of jazz, glitchy electronica and indie-rock with a healthy regard for both those who like to stroke their beard sand those who like a tune. This is a rare combination indeed and I already love [...]

Youtube Hacked. 4Chan takes responsibility.

Google-owned video hosting giants YouTube were hacked earlier today, and fingers are pointing at 4chan. The social networking news-site Mashable has this to say: Today, members of the Internet communities 4chan and and other enterprising computer whizzes hacked YouTube using a vulnerability in the site’s comment system. While the hack was used on a variety [...]
