Larry Clark: Punk Picasso

Larry Clark: Punk Picasso 03/31/2005 09:34 AM
The Cheerful Transgressive Ever since 1971, when Larry Clark published Tulsa, an austere series chronicling his meth-shooting pals in sixties Oklahoma, Clark has made it his mission to document teenagers at their most deviant, their most vulnerable, their most sexually unhinged (possibly NSFW). And now “Larry Clark” the first American retrospective of Clark’s work, currently on display at the International Center of Photography, demonstrates the richness with which he’s mined this single subject (NSFW). More inside.

Xeni Jardin: An anonymous Boing Boing reader says that "Technologic," the second video for Daft Punk's new album "Human After All," can be found right here.
Link to torrent. And you can buy some neat little alien robot action figures on the band's website here.

Update: BB reader Tokumei sez:

The action figures on sale at the Daft Punk site are not in fact robots at all! They're actually characters from the anime Interstella 5555: 5ecrets of the 5tellar 5tar 5ystem, which uses the Daft Punk record "Discovery" for the soundtrack. The first four chapters from the movie were also released individually as music videos.

Punk rock in the holy land

Punk rock in the holy land 04/13/2005 01:36 AM
Xeni Jardin: Jessica Smith from FRONTLINE says:

In Israel, a vibrant punk scene has emerged in a society torn apart by the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. In four candid video interviews, FRONTLINE/World reporter and filmmaker Liz Nord talks to the musicians driving the movement. Like other young Israelis, the punk rockers have been affected personally by the conflict. They have fought as soldiers and lost friends and fans killed by suicide bombers. Bands from both ends of the political spectrum use their music to comment on Israeli society. Others make music just to have fun. But all of them agree that punk rock represents freedom.

Swedish Gang Members Punk Nurses Via
Cameraphone 09/21/2004 03:02 PM

The gritty streets of Sweden are littered with the burnt and twisted carcasses of their many gang members, toppled bun carts, and half-expended tubs of peroxide paste - and now the violence is spreading to the hospitals, or so they would have us believe. Word is that youth who think they need prioritized health care are sending cameraphone picture threats to medical staff. As if nearly-free health care wasn't enough, now they've got to go and get all pissy because they aren't first in line. They ought to come over here and get stabbed - then we can see how much they like waiting in line, filling out the forms to claim you're a one-legged Hasid lesbian.

Also, this particular internet person pictured may not actually be a real Swede gang member, but that's not what Google thinks.

Xeni Jardin: Punk cover bands: here are two, but IMO that's enough to comprise a genre. Any others out there?
Gay Black Flag cover band BLACK FAG Link
All-Jewish Skrewdriver cover band JEWDRIVER: Link
(Thanks, Sean Bonner!)

Update: Boing Boing reader Kim Cooper says, "How about the Misfats, 'the fattest Misfits tribute band ever'?" Link.

Reader Shannon Stewart says, "Here are a few more bands... There are a ton out there."

Black Velvet Flag - All-lounge punk covers: Link< /a>
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - A punk supergroup that covers everything from show tunes to '70s hits: Link
Richard Cheese -- Lounge covers of punk, pop and other types of music: Link

Reader Charles sez, "Not strictly punk, but we have this band here in Seattle -- 'Hells Belles,' an all-girl AC/DC cover band." Link

Reader david says: "Another all-gIrl AC/DC tribute band. A really good one, too!" Link to AC/D-SHE

Boing Boing pal Joey "Accordion Guy" deVilla says, "I'll see your punk cover band genre and raise you an alt-rock mash-up cover band. Smash-Up Derby are a cover band, but their covers are in the form of live-mash-ups. Check out the MP3s posted on their site, such as Smells Like Billie Jean, where Nirvana and Michael Jackson collide -- they're quite good!" Link

Tim Binder says, "This is for your Punk Cover Bands listing, which seems to be rapidly expanding to list unusual cover bands of any sort. The Beach Balls are a Philadelphia cover band that does 80s songs in an operatic/folk style. The link is to a site that has two of their cover songs, Back In Black (more AC/DC) and Girls on Film. When I first saw them live, I was just stunned when I realized that the song I was hearing at the time was The Car's My Best Friend's Girlfriend." Link

Amardeep Singh says,

My favorite punk cover band was Schlong. Their one full-length LP was a drunk-punk version of "West Side Story" called "Punk Side Story," complete with fighting sound effects, snippets of dialogue, and pictures of drunk-looking bay area punk rockers looking at the moon. They match the soundtrack of "West Side Story" track for track. They don't have a webpage, but you can find reference to them here .

And Bruce Heersen says, "Here's yet another AC/DC cover band: Hayseed Dixie (link). On their debut album A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC, they do AC/DC covers bluegrass-style. They have at least one more album that is covers of other rock bands. I've seen these guys live, and they are pretty unbelievable. Really entertaining."

Check out this awesome video for Hayseed Dixie's cover of Mötorhead's punk/metal anthem "Ace of Spades," edited entirely on a PowerMac G4 laptop. Link (screenshot shown at top of this post).

Lemmy's inbred cousins would be proud.

To which BB reader Dario Manzoni sez:

About the bluegrass covers: there is Iron Horse's "Fade to Bluegrass: The Bluegrass Tribute To Metallica" (Link to samples). I think they did a nice job capturing Metallica's peculiar sound. And absolutely worth mentioning (but different kind) are Apocalyptica, that once released "Plays Metallica by four cellos" (link to full album at low bitrate for sampling purpose)

Afro-Punk offices burned, donations

Afro-Punk offices burned, donations
sought 09/19/2004 02:08 PM
Xeni Jardin: The makers of a groundbreaking documentary film exploring racial identity within the punk scene -- Afro-Punk: the "rock n roll nigger" experience -- were hit with an unexpected disaster last week. Friends are reaching out to coordinate donations of space and gear to help the filmmakers get back on track. From an e-mail sent to friends and supporters:

On Monday Sept. 13th at around 2pm the building that houses the afro-punk offices was set on fire. Apparently, the first floor failing clothing store owner, in an act of desperation, set a phone book on fire and took a little walk. Meanwhile Afro-Punk's director James Spooner was two flights up discussing his upcoming panel on music as a tool for black liberation with a colleague. "We heard the bell ringing and a lot of screaming and yelling" says James. The guilty store owner, alerted James and his friend of the blaze below. Thinking quickly James ran back into the office unplugged his Mac tower, which houses the documentary and hobbled down the stairs through the smoke and flames . "Man, maybe it was stupid, but this film has effected too many people for it to all end here, let the rest burn, I had to save it!"

Luckily fire fighters acted quickly on the scene and were able to stabilize the fire. Flames never reached our office but the NYFD destroyed the place trying to make sure the fire wasn't in the walls or ceiling.

After the smoke literally cleared they were allowed back up to access the damage. All in all it could have been worse. The Afro-Punk computers and camera are still working, the 200 hours of footage afro-punk was cut from seems to be okay and the work for our next film is safe. We did lose some furniture, a monitor and some vcrs from our dubbing station, but most tragic, we lost our donated office space.

Link to the Afro-Punk website, link to paypal donation site, and e-mail the group for a list of non-cash donations they're seeking -- including office space, office supplies, and electronic equipment (VCRs, monitors, CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, and the like). (via pho list and Bob Davis of Soul Patrol)

Dinner with Joe Grand

Dinner with Joe Grand 02/05/2005 09:26 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: I had the pleasure of having hardware hacker Joe Grand come to my house for dinner last night. (He was in town to appear on G4 TechTV to talk about his new book, Game Console Hacking.) He showed me a bunch of his amazing electronic projects, which I'll be mentioning soon on Make's new blog.

Joe also told me about his cross country trip to relocate from Boston to San Diego, and he pointed me to his journal about the trip. It's a fun read, and I love this picture he took of a cool UFO house in Chattanooga, TN. Link

Grand is a set of tools to create a visual representation of Ant target dependencies. It works by taking an Ant build file and creating a "dot" file. It differs from the existing tools by relying on the Ant API rather than XML parsing to get the dependencies. It includes many advanced features such as filtering or rendering depending on the target's nature. It also features a GUI based on SWT, Draw2D, and JzGraph.

---

Changes:
A new "export as image" feature was added. Support for the new target element in ant and antcall was added. The behavior when targets with the same name exist in several files was improved. Minor improvements and bugfixes were made.
