Last night Mrs. N and I took in a screening of Sonic Outlaws, a film by
Craig Baldwin. It deals with matters of copyright and appropriation of
material for use in creative work, and concentrates a lot on the
Negativland/U2 perpetual epic clash. The film itself is an interesting
mixture of styles and filmstocks, some parts taped on a Fisher-Price
Pixelviscam, some apparently sound super-8 etc. It's a bit jarring to be
watching an actual film which suddenly experiences video glitches. A very
few bits get tedious but mostly it holds up real well. It's good to get
to see ther various groups, including EBN and Tape Beatles, as well as
Negativland, all yacking about what they do and why they do it.
We also swapped a copy of Kooks with Mark Hosler for a copy of
Fair Use, the book/cd chronicle of Negativland's wild experiences over
the last few years. The only flaw I can see in Negativland's logic at
any point is that they seem to believe they can actually convince
Condupes of ANYTHING thich is not already a part of their programming or
which may result in a lessening of corporate control. Definitely worth
while though to see just what an unbelievable DORK Greg Ginn, head geek
of SST, can be when he thinks he's being smart.
Recommended.

This book is essential reading for anyone who needs more evidence that
the human race is essentially garbage. The boys from Negativland have a
paper trail of conclusive evidence that they have been lied to repeatedly,
and sodomized by people whose only authority is the fact that they have
a lot more capital assets.
It's also worth noting that I've done business with Negativland, and put
myself into a position from which they could have easily screwed me out
of thousands of dollars, but they have always been extremely honorable,
ethical, and even pleasant to deal with. They are the good guys. Buy their
stuff and support some of the few people left who aren't lying assholes.
"Sonic Outlaws" is worth seeing, too.
There. I'm sorry, I won't say anything serious ever again. Does anyone
know if pus farting is when you fart pus out of your asshole, or when
farts come out of your pus?

Craig just sent me a copy of Sonic Outlaws on videotape... I was
surprised and pleased at how much stuff I sent him wound up in the
movie... like the live Negativland audio and the backmasking stuff.
Haven't finished watching it but, damn what a fine movie.. in the 'wish-I
had made it' category. Craig said to pass on his address if people want
to buy this movie on video, I think he said it's about $20 or $30... I'll
post it here if there's interest (it's in another program). I also offer
a free email catalog of subgenius and negativland tapes if anyone's
interested. It's about 100K (bytes that is, 'puter bits... IN-FO...)

Don't ask me. I'm still trying to figure out whether I'm
"whigger-dicked" or not.

I like it when Oprah makes air pockets. They smell different each
time. Ask your grocer for them. They're turgid and satisfying.

P.S. I like that song the Eagles did about forced oral sex at
gunpoint. For $200, I can name that tune. Will you be
providing potato salad, Phineas?

To which Nenslo replies: You folks are OFF TOPIC. I don't think you are
treating me with a sufficient degree of RESPECT. And after the way I let
Phineas sit on my porch without INSTANTLY KILLING HIM.
I really think you'd better reassess your priorities so they come
into closer synch with MINE.
