  • Kid Congo Powers Double Record Release Party
    KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY Tonic, March 3, 2006 Kid Congo Powers is celebrating the release of two albums on March 3, 2006 at Tonic. The first, Solo Cholo, is a career-spanning compilation focusing on the legendary guitarist’s work as a vocalist and songwriter from 1985 to the present. The second, Philosophy and Underwear, is the debut recording of his current New York band, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds - in which Kid not only sings, but also plays blistering dual guitars with ace Jack Martin (Knoxville Girls, Honeymoon Killers, etc.). After twenty-five years in the recording business (The Cramps’ Psychedelic Jungle was 1981), these two albums are the first full-length recordings that focus on Kid’s songs. The event also marks New York Night Train (www.newyorknighttrain.com) webzine’s debut as a record label. For this momentous occasion Kid has gathered an all-star cast of collaborators, friends, and favorites that will amount to one of the most unusual assemblages of underground figures in downtown history. The headliner is of course Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds. The Birds will also back up Thalia Zedek (ex-Come, Live Skull, Uzi, etc.) on a few Gun Club numbers (Zedek is the vocalist who reminds Kid most of Jeffrey Lee Pierce). Another highlight of the evening is the reunion of the original New York version of Congo Norvell – Kid, Sally Norvell (actress, ex-Norvells, Prohibition, etc.), Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Vanity Set, ex-Sonic Youth, Cramps, etc.), Paul Wallfisch (Botanica, ex-Firewater, Love and Rockets, etc.), and Brian Emrich (film composer, ex-Foetus, Toasters, etc.).

I’m basically trying to speak to people to hear their stories about why they did zines, how they did zines. What were the experiences like? What did they take from it? You today, how do you connect to it? All these things. I’m just kind of trying to review that with some people who have done fanzines, who are from D.C. and just see kind of where it took them, as well as how they did it. So as far as Greed goes, first issue was I think 1985? Let’s consult. Sayenga: Good question. I’m going to look it up here. Let’s see. Oh, there’s a picture of—man, late Winter 1986.

  • Ian Svenonius Free Will in the Cyber
    Ian Free Will in Svenonius the Cyber Age 10 Ian Free Will in Svenonius The Cyber Age I. Free Will As Sci-Fi predictions are realized, and we begin to countenance serving under, living with – and even loving – robots, discussion turns to what constitutes “artificial intelligence” and to what extent we are sentient beings or just programmed automatons ourselves. Though we are now completely reliant on machines and have wrought a world where we are helpless without them, we still feel superior to them in that we have “free will”; Meanwhile, the computers, appliances, and gadgets upon which we depend are programmed by those of our creed (i.e. humans). “Free will” would be defined as the ability to choose; what we think, what we do, who we will be, and how we govern our lives. Free will has been a much ballyhooed human conceit since ‘the Enlightenment’ at least, and modern neoliberal ideology hinges on this concept of self-expression and construction of identity as the end goal of our society’s twin obsessions: wealth accumulation and consumerism. “The West” has aggressively promoted this individualist self-determination as its philosophy and defines its mission in the world as civilizing societies which are seen to be less “free.” Free markets – i.e. the privatization of public services and resources (oil, health, etc) – are the end goal for the unshackling of humanity at all costs, and the pretext for war or invasion against the less free often begins with social concerns for their freedom. These would include stripping off the burqa, allowing a “pro 1 Ian Svenonius ——— Free Will business” CIA funded political opposition party, the sanctioning of a gay pride parade, etc; the freeing of moral or commercial restrictions in a repressive society with a perceived state or religious control over “expression” (commercial or personal).
