ひみつキング/Himitsu King ~ hyper-henka Osaka Noisecore (Fast Progressive Junk):

omeko blat pack!

Once upon a time, there was this really’ really oishi, fuck-it!, – uniquely oishi, five piece from Osaka playing “fast progressive junk” (more on this eponym shortly). A very difficult shape to outline, HK squirted, doused, spumed – structured Noisecore, Prog-addled Grind/HC/Fastcore mismatched with a small but integral 15% provision of ‘anything else’ from computer game themed scrat, J-Pop garbage, turbid Reggae & 90’s Anime instrumental soundtrack lachrymose.

Stiff Upper Lip-secrets, crimes and the schooling of a ruling class (Alex Renton):

“No other culture sends its young boys and girls away to school to prepare them for a role in the ruling class. – beating, bullying, fagging, cold baths, vile food and paedophile teachers are just some of the features of this elite education, and, while some children loved boarding school, others now admit to suffering life-altering psychological damage. – stiff upper lip exposes the hypocrisy, cronyism and conspiracy that are key to understanding the scandals over abuse and neglect in institutions all over the world.“ Continue reading Stiff Upper Lip-secrets, crimes and the schooling of a ruling class (Alex Renton): →

Documentaries

Le Monde Selon Monsanto (the World According to Monsanto) DVD:

So far, the most definitive documentary on the cancerous, democracy-raping agribusiness death-cult Monsanto, a company with a history of the most extraordinary miasma & wrong-doing. Where does one even start? So much ill, extreme back-door skulduggery, legislative stripping, purging & prosecution of scientists, suppression, falsification, pay-outs, hush-ups, gagging orders & non-disclosure agreements, mass poisonings, civil law suits, corporate capture & massively surreptitious, dirty & deleterious dealings of sprawling dimensions.

Miracle Power Combination-the world’s a death match cassette:

A delicacy of dereliction. Multivalent dude n’ doll junk noise from Texas (nobody does it like Texas trick!). Bedraggled, garbage-strewn, rusted-out lo-fi harsh trash, power electronics prone, MPC and drum-machine riddled, roughed-up by distorted trap-kit noisecore and shitnoise blasts, dumpster feed-back, peaking female screams, random sampling, digital looping, and an eroded decline of tangential decomposition. Dumped and battered. Lots of real time physicality from ‘objects’ being bashed and scraped. Continue reading Miracle Power Combination-the world’s a death match cassette: →

Entitled-a critical history of the British aristocracy (Chris Byrant):

“Show the people that our Nobility is not noble, that its lands are stolen lands – stolen either by force or fraud: show people that the title-deeds are rapine, murder, massacre, cheating, or court harlotry; dissolve the halo of divinity that surrounds the hereditary title; let the people clearly understand that our present House of Lords is composed largely of descendants of successful pirates and rougues; do these things and you successfully shatter the Romance that keeps the nation numb and spellbound while privilege picks its pocket.” – Tom Johnston, Our Scots Noble Families, 1909 Continue reading Entitled-a critical history of the British aristocracy (Chris Byrant): →
