James Dean Brown – Psychedelic Soul You Are James Dean Brown – Psychedelic Soul You are about to enter a space where hardly any clubber has danced before… Feel well-absorbed into James Dean Brown's most extraordinary, emphatic and convincing DJ work so far. As soon as he is supposed to feel reasonably safe in terms of a conclusive music selection and respectable mixing skills, JDB starts (and keeps on) experimenting, merging and warping styles, leaving the comfort zone. Consequently, you will experience weirdness of epic dimensions here while listening to a story that pleads for a great diversity of sound cultures at parties. Surrounded by nature, outdoors vibes and the heavy, monsoon-like rain must have been a great inspiration. Otherwise one could hardly explain how JDB managed to mix some of these hazardous grooves in such a relaxed way. The trip becomes an audio drama: psychedelic Soul, Funk and Blues full of exotic magic and mystery, intoxicating Voodoo House, decelerated grooves, flexible shuffle modes, alien sound signatures, tripping hazards, spiritual vibes, enchanting incantations, ghost whispers, tribal percussion reverberating from the electrically vibrating rain forest, echoes from space, strange and unusual music not quite from this world, fluid fairytales, passion, temptation, ritual ecstasy, obscuration and revelation, and other oddities – it's all in here. Welcome to a subtle dislocation off the norm. mixed + recorded live under heavy rain at "Contour", ://about blank garden, Berlin, 29.07.12 between 5.00 and 8.00 a.m. Theo Parrish – Dusty Cabinets 12"EP: Pieces of a Paradox (Sound Signature SS004) http://www.discogs.com/release/4298 Theo Parrish – Dan Ryan 12"EP: Roots Revisited (Sound Signature SS005) http://www.discogs.com/release/6849 Electric Soul – Here Come One 12"EP: ANewSong / Here Come One (People PEOPLE 005) http://www.discogs.com/release/32449 Kenny Dixon Jr. – Don't You Want My Love 12"EP: Don't You Want My Love (Pandamonium PR 19) http://www.discogs.com/release/10379 www.narcoticsyntax.com Black Science Orchestra feat.

  • Brazilian/American Trio São Paulo Underground Expands Psycho-Tropicalia Into New Dimensions on Cantos Invisíveis, a Global Tapestry That Transcends Place & Time
    Bio information: SÃO PAULO UNDERGROUND Title: CANTOS INVISÍVEIS (Cuneiform Rune 423) Format: CD / DIGITAL Cuneiform Promotion Dept: (301) 589-8894 / Fax (301) 589-1819 Press and world radio: [email protected] | North American and world radio: [email protected] www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ / TROPICALIA / ELECTRONIC / WORLD / PSYCHEDELIC / POST-JAZZ RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2016 Brazilian/American Trio São Paulo Underground Expands Psycho-Tropicalia into New Dimensions on Cantos Invisíveis, a Global Tapestry that Transcends Place & Time Cantos Invisíveis is a wondrous album, a startling slab of 21st century trans-global music that mesmerizes, exhilarates and transports the listener to surreal dreamlands astride the equator. Never before has the fearless post-jazz, trans-continental trio São Paulo Underground sounded more confident than here on their fifth album and third release for Cuneiform. Weaving together a borderless electro-acoustic tapestry of North and South American, African and Asian, traditional folk and modern jazz, rock and electronica, the trio create music at once intimate and universal. On Cantos Invisíveis, nine tracks celebrate humanity by evoking lost haunts, enduring love, and the sheer delirious joy of making music together. São Paulo Underground fully manifests its expansive vision of a universal global music, one that blurs edges, transcends genres, defies national and temporal borders, and embraces humankind in its myriad physical and spiritual dimensions. Featuring three multi-instrumentalists, São Paulo Underground is the creation of Chicago-reared polymath Rob Mazurek (cornet, Mellotron, modular synthesizer, Moog Paraphonic, OP-1, percussion and voice) and two Brazilian masters of modern psycho- Tropicalia -- Mauricio Takara (drums, cavaquinho, electronics, Moog Werkstatt, percussion and voice) and Guilherme Granado (keyboards, synthesizers, sampler, percussion and voice).

  • Das Remake Als Fetischkunst Gus Van Sants »Psycho« Und Die Absonderlichen Serialitäten Des Hollywood-Kinos
    FORSCHUNGSBEITRAG DAS REMAKE ALS FETISCHKUNST Gus Van Sants »Psycho« und die absonderlichen Serialitäten des Hollywood-Kinos Frank Kelleter 154 RKEMA ING ALS SERIELLE PRAXIS Film-Remakes und Film-Fortsetzungen verkörpern den kommerziellen Prag- matismus des Hollywood-Kinos in schamloser Manier. Kein Wunder, dass sich Feuilleton und Filmwissenschaft lange Zeit nicht mit ihnen anfreunden konnten. Noch heute muss jeder Film, der eine Zahl im Titel trägt, darauf gefasst sein, als Beispiel für die Einfallslosigkeit einer ganzen, eigentlich geldgeilen Industrie herzuhalten. Problematisch ist diese Haltung nicht, weil sie falsch wäre – Remakes und Fortsetzungen operieren tatsächlich als ›pre-sold com- modities‹ –, sondern weil Einfallsreichtum in der Geschichte des populären Films eigentlich immer schon an profitorientierte Produktionskulturen gebun- den war. Wie unbehaglich dieser Gedanke in cinephilen Kreisen weiterhin sein mag, lässt sich daran ablesen, dass die Figur des sich gegen ökonomische Zwänge behauptenden ›Auteurs‹ die Rede über Filme selbst dort noch orga- nisiert, wo die proklamierten filmtheoretischen Überzeugungen schon längst das Gegenteil behaupten. Das Problem filmischer Autorschaft steht im Zentrum von Gus Van Sants »Psycho« und vermengt sich dort in irritierender Weise mit Fragen medialer Selbstreflexion und narrativer Fortsetzungslogik. Um zu verstehen, was hier geschieht, bietet es sich an, das Format ›Neuverfilmung‹ zunächst einmal seri- alitätstheoretisch zu beschreiben. Auf den ersten Blick ist das eine kontrain- tuitive Perspektive: Remakes behaupten ja in aller Regel nicht, Episoden oder Fortsetzungen eines größeren Erzählganzen zu sein. Dennoch fällt es schwerer, POP. Kultur und Kritik ◆ Heft 7 Herbst 2015 ◆ S. 154–173 ◆ © transcript zwischen einer Neuverfilmung und einer Fortsetzung formal zu unterscheiden, als diese scheinbar eindeutigen Begriffe vermuten lassen (Verevis 2006a; siehe auch einzelne Beiträge in Heinze/Krämer 2015).

  • Psycho by Charles Taylor “The a List: the National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films,” 2002
    Psycho By Charles Taylor “The A List: The National Society of Film Critics’ 100 Essential Films,” 2002 Reprinted by permission of the author The impact of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho” owes so much to its two big surprises that when the film opened in 1960 Hitchcock not only refused to allow press screenings but had theaters hire Pinkerton security guards to prevent latecomers from entering the theater once the picture had started. He wanted to keep the people who hadn’t bought tickets from finding out that Janet Leigh’s Marion Crane is stabbed to death in the shower only forty-five minutes into the movie, and that the murderer is Antho- ny Perkins’s Norma Bates, who has succumbed to the personality of the mother he murdered years before. In many ways, “Psycho” seems like a death knell for the studio system that would lumber on for a few more years before collapsing later in the decade under the weight of filmmakers and audiences sick of the old stultified formu- Alfred Hitchcock holding a clapper on the set of “Psycho.” las.

  • Record Dreams Catalog
    RECORD DREAMS 50 Hallucinations and Visions of Rare and Strange Vinyl Vinyl, to: vb. A neologism that describes the process of immersing yourself in an antique playback format, often to the point of obsession - i.e. I’m going to vinyl at Utrecht, I may be gone a long time. Or: I vinyled so hard that my bank balance has gone up the wazoo. The end result of vinyling is a record collection, which is defned as a bad idea (hoarding, duplicating, upgrading) often turned into a good idea (a saleable archive). If you’re reading this, you’ve gone down the rabbit hole like the rest of us. What is record collecting? Is it a doomed yet psychologically powerful wish to recapture that frst thrill of adolescent recognition or is it a quite understandable impulse to preserve and enjoy totemic artefacts from the frst - perhaps the only - great age of a truly mass art form, a mass youth culture? Fingering a particularly juicy 45 by the Stooges, Sweet or Sylvester, you could be forgiven for answering: fuck it, let’s boogie! But, you know, you’re here and so are we so, to quote Double Dee and Steinski, what does it all mean? Are you looking for - to take a few possibles - Kate Bush picture discs, early 80s Japanese synth on the Vanity label, European Led Zeppelin 45’s (because of course they did not deign to release singles in the UK), or vastly overpriced and not so good druggy LPs from the psychedelic fatso’s stall (Rainbow Ffolly, we salute you)? Or are you just drifting, browsing, going where the mood and the vinyl takes you? That’s where Utrecht scores.

  • Letter to Jack Dorsey
    21May 2020 Jack Dorsey, CEO Twitter Inc. 1355 Market Street Suite 900 San Francisco, California 94103 Via email: [email protected] Mr.Dorsey: Nearly 19 years ago, my wife, who had an undiagnosed heart condition, fell and hit her head on her desk at work. She was found dead the next morning. Her name is Lori Kaye Klausutis and she was 28 years old when she died. Her passing is the single most painful thing that I have ever had to deal with in my 52 years and continues to haunt her parents and sister. I have mourned my wife every day since her passing. I have tried to honor her memory and our marriage. As her husband, I feel that one of my marital obligations is to protect her memory as I would have protected her in life. There has been a constant barrage of falsehoods, half-truths, innuendo and conspiracy theories since the day she died. I realize that may sound like an exaggeration, unfortunately it is the verifiable truth. Because of this, I have struggled to move forward with my life. The frequency, intensity, ugliness, and promulgation of these horrifying lies ever increases on the internet. These conspiracy theorists, including most recently the President of the United States, continue to spread their bile and misinformation on your platform disparaging the memory of my wife and our marriage. President Trump on Tuesday tweeted to his nearly 80 million followers alluding to the repeatedly debunked falsehood that my wife was murdered by her boss, former U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough.

  • Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture
    The Vibe of the Exiles: Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture Feature Article Graham St John Griffith University (Australia) Abstract This article offers detailed comment on thevibe of the exiles, a socio-sonic aesthetic infused with the sensibility of the exile, of compatriotism in expatriation, a characteristic of psychedelic electronica from Goatrance to psytrance and beyond (i.e. psyculture). The commentary focuses on an emancipatory artifice which sees participants in the psyculture continuum adopt the figure of the alien in transpersonal and utopian projects. Decaled with the cosmic liminality of space exploration, alien encounter and abduction repurposed from science fiction, psychedelic event-culture cultivates posthumanist pretentions resembling Afrofuturist sensibilities that are identified with, appropriated and reassembled by participants. Offering a range of examples, among them Israeli psychedelic artists bent on entering another world, the article explores the interface of psyculture and Afrofuturism. Sharing a theme central to cosmic jazz, funk, rock, dub, electro, hip-hop and techno, from the earliest productions, Israeli and otherwise, Goatrance, assumed an off-world trajectory, and a concomitant celebration of difference, a potent otherness signified by the alien encounter, where contact and abduction become driving narratives for increasingly popular social aesthetics. Exploring the different orbits from which mystics and ecstatics transmit visions of another world, the article, then, focuses on the socio- sonic aesthetics of the dance floor, that orgiastic domain in which a multitude of “freedoms” are performed, mutant utopias propagated, and alien identities danced into being. Keywords: alien-ation; psyculture; Afrofuturism; posthumanism; psytrance; exiles; aliens; vibe Graham St John is a cultural anthropologist and researcher of electronic dance music cultures and festivals.
