Video mashup of Russ Meyer + Hoodoo
Gurus / Persian Rugs

Video mashup of Russ Meyer + Hoodoo
Gurus / Persian Rugs 09/24/2004 11:08 AM
Xeni Jardin: Following up to this week's sad news that sexploitation auteur Russ Meyers has passed away (Link), BoingBoing reader Richard Crepeau says, "Thought I'd spread the word about a Hoodoo Gurus side project called the Persian Rugs. One of their videos uses Russ Meyer clips from Mondo Topless. A nice hybrid between garage rock and camp."

On their website, the band says:

"Music and sex go very well together. For proof, just take a look at the video for the Persian Rugs' new single 'Be A Woman'. The band and director Todd Sheldrick have created the perfect setting for the band's 60's Punk-inspired Primal Rock: strippers and cavemen collide in a 21st Century psychedelic garden of eden. (...) The Rugs got in touch with famed 60's director Russ Meyer, the maker of such films as 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'and Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' (the latter a direct influence on the Austin Powers movies) and asked for permission to incorporate footage from one of his cult classics, 'Mondo Topless', into their new filmclip. Russ asked to hear the song first, [and] loved it (...)

Link to "Be a Woman" *.asx video in low and hi-res, contains megadoses of kitsch nudity (and shots of vintage '60s electronic equipment). How did those ladies make their humongous breasts do that stuff on rhythm? Weighed down by all that eyeliner, no less?

Doc reports from the Garage.....

A reader just pointed me to Appcraft.org, an "international application developing platform for handheld and smartphone." Yesterday Trolltech's Qtopia Phone Edition won a Product Excellence Award at LinuxWorld (disclaimer: I was a judge on that one). Qtopia is a development environment for phones and PDAs. It's clear that the phone is becoming a new and rich environment for mobile applications. In fact, it's clearly eating the PDA (look at the Treo 600).

It's not clear, however, which phone OS platform will win the hearts and minds of developers. Symbian is the platform offered by some of the big phone makers, and it seems to be ahead right now; but Palm, Microsoft and Linux are also in the mix.
I'm interested in seeing how DIY-IT plays here. One can easily imagine a raft of business apps that tie employee phones into company data environments, for example.

Thoughts?

[Doc's IT Garage]

Marc quips in.....

Whenever I hear about some open mobile/PDA platform - I think of Russell Beattie.

"So Russ! Wassup wit dis Qtopia stuff? Is it the bomb or bust? Or somewhere in the middle? Java, php, python - what?"

Xeni Jardin: Russ Meyer, the filmmaking legend responsible for such sexploitation atrocities masterpieces as " The Immoral Mr. Teas", "Faster, Pussycat! Kill!

Rest in peace, Mr. Meyer. (thanks also to Caines, Jean-Luc, and others who suggested).

I sure hope to see Russell Beattie somewhere in my travels.

I gotta get him to help me find his new MyYahoo RSS reader for mobile phones.

I got a coolio 6630 from Charlie Shick at Nokia - and I'm roaming around using it and it's fancy features. Sure hope loading data off ofit works - as it's my only camera I'll have with me.

I wonder where the plug-in for Lifeblog for MT is?

It's kind of fun watching Russ turn into a Yahoopster.

New guestbl0gger -- Russ Kick of The
Memory Hole and Disinformation

New guestbl0gger -- Russ Kick of The
Memory Hole and Disinformation 04/30/2004 12:17 PM
First, gratitude to our outgoing guestblogger Alan Graham, for holding down the right hand column this past month. Thank you!

Next: A warm welcome to our new guestblogger, Russ Kick, the author of several books, including The Disinformation Book of Lists: Subversive Facts and Hidden Information in Rapid-Fire Format and 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know.

Mr. Kick is also the editor of many anthologies, such as Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies; You Are Being Lied To: The Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths; and Abuse Your Illusions: The Disinformation Guide to Media Mirages and Establishment Lies. He has also written articles and a column for the Village Voice.

The Memory Hole, a website devoted to rescuing knowledge and freeing information, is his labor of love. Russ first made the front page of the New York Times when he digitally uncensored a heavily-redacted Justice Department report. In April 2004, he posted 288 previously unseen photos of military coffins coming back from Iraq, which he had pried loose from the Air Force. This set off a worldwide media frenzy leading to the front pages of most major newspapers, heavy rotation on CNN, the lead story on network newscasts, and interviews on Good Morning America and CBS Evening News. You can browse through some of that extensive media coverage here , via Google News search.

I have no doubt that Russ will indeed Kick it on the BoingBoing guestblog. Welcome! Link

Russ Kick on Afghan food drop fiasco

Russ Kick on Afghan food drop fiasco 05/26/2004 07:46 PM
Our current guestblogger Russ Kick wrote a great piece for Loompanics about the US food drop to Afghanistan.

You know those little packets in vitamin bottles and clothes that are supposed to keep them fresh? Well, many of the little meal packs dropped on Afghanistan contained one of those packets (called a desiccant) to keep the food fresh. Unfortunately, the Afghans aren't familiar with desiccants so they tore them open and ate the powder. Some thought it was medicine, so they noshed it straight. Others figured it was a funky American spice, so they sprinkled it on their beans, rice, or pasta. Lots of Afghans got sick, though we don't know if any deaths occurred. In fact, it's hard to say whether people got sick from chowing down on desiccant or because the food in the packets was usually spoiled.

Posted by a member of Declan McCullagh's politech mailing list:

I've received email from a person with an [army.mil] address. This person is stationed in Iraq, and he/she tells me that The Memory Hole is blocked on military computers. Trying to get to the site results in the following message:

Access Denied (content_filter_denied)
Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Extreme;Politics/Religion". For assistance, contact your network support team.

How interesting. I post raw documents created by the government, military, and corporations. These days, that apparently amounts to "political extremism." Naturally, I've filed a FOIA request about this blocking.

On technology and song lyrics...

On technology and song lyrics... 01/24/2004 07:18 PM

I love it when technology creeps from innovation to ubiquity. Or - more to the point - I love that very first set of transitions, when you're watching a movie or a TV show and suddenly for the first time they're actually using e-mail or talking about Googling someone. In analysing the sensation, I keep coming back to a mingling of a few different experiences - one is of a private world becoming public, one is of elation and approval and one is (weirdly) a sensation of vindication (even if the technology has been around for years). I suppose there's something profoundly reassuring about seeing your strange habits and vocabulary represented to the world as being totally normal - exotic or cool even - particularly when it's done in a form that hundreds of thousands of people might encounter. Maybe it's a bit like being accepted at school or something.

Here's an example of one of those moments, from a medium (rock song lyrics) that isn't exactly known for its take-up and referencing of breaking technologies:

My phone's on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karaoke too
I try to dance, Britney Spears
I guess I'm getting on in years

My phone's on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears

My phone's on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio's now a boy
Who wants to turn back into a toy

So call me
Call me in the morning
Call me in the night
So call me
Call me anytime you like

My phone's on vibrate for you
For you [Vibrate by Rufus Wainwright]

Here's an astounding video clip that clearly shows President Bush wiping his eyeglasses on an unwitting woman's clothing during his appearance on The David Letterman Show.

How would you feel about a person who thinks it is okay to grab your shirt and use it clean their eyeglasses? That's how arrogant our President is. During a commercial break on the David Letterman show, producer Maria Pope was on stage and discussing something with Letterman, and while she was standing there in front of Bush, George leaned forward, grabbed the back of her sweater and used it to clean his glasses.
