Dear Rev. Stang,
You cannot imagine my joy to discover my "Cypher" review on the
Subgenius website! I run a video store called Trash Video here in
Brisbane, Australia and run regular screenings every Tuesday nights at
(where else) a bar. This was our Film Club screening last year - I've
never seen so many psychedelic spirals in our regulars' eyes!
7pm Wednesday 4th June 2003: CULTURE JAMMING!
The Commies Are Coming, The Commies Are Coming (aka Red Nightmare,
1962) A family man wakes up one morning to find out that the Communists
have taken over America. Classic Cuban Missile-era paranoia funded and
released by the Department of Defense, narrated on-screen by Jack
Dragnet Webb.
Culture Jam Shorts (1980s) Brilliant manipulated and reworded footage -
Apocalypse Pooh (Winnie the Pooh to the soundtrack of Apocaplyse Now),
Blue Peanuts (Charlie Brown meets Blue Velvet!!!), The Reagans Say Yes
To Drugs, and Fat Albert edited to an Ice T number!
Arise! The Church Of The Sub-Genius (1991) Pure genius! A hypnotic
compilation of cut-up footage of drive-in schlock, TV, UFOs, newsreels
etc compiled by Rev. Cordt Holland & Rev. Ivan Stang of the Sub-Genius
Foundation and intended as a phony induction tape into the cult of J.R.
"Bob" Bob Dobbs. Music by Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh and Negativland
among others.
Keep the faithless,
Your fellow traveller, Andrew Leavold

dude - you should give this guy ten extra points for running a Trash
Video store in Brisbane. it would be like setting up a shop that sold
pornographic comics in Alabama, circa 1948. yes, i know, you'd have to
send them back in time. Brisbane isn't exactly known for its culture,
high or low-brow. well, it's low-brow, but it's not deliberately
self-mocking low-brow, it's *serious* low-brow.

Ah! Like Cleveland! (Or Dallas, back in The Day.) Mocked and reviled by
all the other cities. Known hellholes. Festering backwaters. In short,
PRIME BREEDING GROUND for Our Kind.
