Danny Says follows Fields from Phi Beta Kappa whiz-kid, to Harvard Law dropout, to the Warhol Silver Factory, to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records, to “punk pioneer” and beyond. Danny’s taste and opinion, once deemed defiant and radical, has turned out to have been prescient. Danny Says is a story of marginal turning mainstream, avant garde turning prophetic, as Fields looks to the next generation..

A treasure trove of interviews of strange and beguiling individuals—ranging from Internet pioneers to victims of wireless radiation, whose anecdotes and reflections weave together a complex portrait of our brave new world. Herzog describes the Internet as “one of the biggest revolutions we as humans are experiencing,” and yet he tempers this enthusiasm with horror stories from victims of online harassment and Internet addiction.

Fame took a toll on their love, but it also attracted unbelievable twists of fate. The two find themselves kidnapped by the North Korean regime, and they are forced to play along with a bizarre filmmaking project led by superfan cinephile Kim Jong-il. Enduring torture, imprisonment, and surveillance, their romance is rekindled, and they realize escape is only possible through filmmaking—but the smallest mistake in their plans could cost them their lives.

So, like any good journalist confronted by a bully, he does just the opposite: he travels to the hidden tickling facilities in Los Angeles and uncovers a vast empire, known for harassing and harming the lives of those who protest their involvement in these films.

SERIOUSLY PLAYFUL AND PLAYFULLY SERIOUS: THE HELPFULNESS OF HUMOROUS PARODY A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Michael Richard Lucas May 2014 Accepted by: Victor J. Vitanza, Committee Chair Stephaine Barczewski Cynthia Haynes Beth Lauritis i ABSTRACT In the following work I create and define the parameters for a specific form of humorous parody. I highlight specific problematic narrative figures that circulate the public sphere and reinforce our serious narrative expectations. However, I demonstrate how critical public pedagogies are able to disrupt these problematic narrative expectations. Humorous parodic narratives are especially equipped to help us in such situations when they work as a critical public/classroom pedagogy, a form of critical rhetoric, and a form of mass narrative therapy. These findings are supported by a rhetorical analysis of these parodic narratives, as I expand upon their ability to provide a practical model for how to create/analyze narratives both inside/outside of the classroom.

Using a mix of actors and non-actors, the small crew used documentary techniques to give the experience of a true story unfolding in real time. Often filming in four to five locations a day and using a script in which specific dialogue was scarce but the intention for each scene was detailed, actors improvised fully in the moment to allow their characters to develop naturally. What resulted was a team in-sync and fully ready to capture the chaotic world around them. 49 west 27th street 7th floor new york, ny 10001 tel 212 924 6701 fax 212 924 6742 www.magpictures.com 1. ABOUT THE CAST As one half of comedy duo “Tim and Eric” and creator of Abso Lutely Productions, Tim Heidecker can easily be viewed as a godfather of subversive, alt-comedy. With roles in “Us”, “Eastbound & Down”, “Awesome Show”, “Portlandia” and more, Mr. Heidecker has helped to affect the comedy landscape for years to come. As a co-creator of On Cinema and its ensuing worlds with Gregg Turkington, he’s been able to prod at multiple facets of society.

  • RAMONES the Sire Years 1976-1981 Die Ersten Sechs Alben Der Punkrock-Pioniere in Einer Box!
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] RAMONES The Sire Years 1976-1981 Die ersten sechs Alben der Punkrock-Pioniere in einer Box! „Hey ho, let’s go!” Mit diesem Schlachtruf begann eine Epoche. Bei allen Diskussionen, wer nun wo den Punkrock erfunden habe, steht eine Tatsache außer Zweifel: Die RAMONES haben ihn auf den Punkt gebracht wie keine andere Band. Sie nahmen den dahinsiechenden Rock’n’Roll unter ihre Mähnen, erfanden ihn neu und gaben ihm die Kraft und Innovation zurück, die irgendwo zwischen Woodstock und Progrock verlorengegangen war. 1974 in Forest Hill, Queens, NYC, gegründet, waren die RAMONES neu, authentisch und kreierten einen aufwühlenden Sound, der zur Hebamme einer der lebhaftesten Musikstile aller Zeiten wurde: Punkrock. Mit der 6-CD-Box RAMONES: The Sire Years (1976-1981) präsentieren Rhino Records das Erbe einer der innovativsten Bands in einer umfassenden Box, die die bedeutendsten Alben des Quartetts in einer längst fälligen Sammlung vereint: Ramones (1976), Leave Home (1977), Rocket To Russia (1977), Road To Ruin(1978), End Of The Century (1980) bis Pleasant Dreams (1981) – sämtlich mit ursprünglichen Tracklistings und Original- Artwork. Das Debüt der RAMONES aus dem Jahr 1976 war zugleich ein Manifest und eine Aufforderung zum musikalischen Aufstand, der zahllose Fans anspornte, selbst die Gitarre in die Hand zu nehmen. 14 Songs brauchten gerade mal eine Gesamtlänge von 32 Minuten. Reduziert auf das Nötigste, erreichte keine der Nummern die 3-Minuten Marke – die meisten blieben sogar unter zwei Minuten. Und es waren Klassiker, die da über die Musikwelt hereinbrachen: „Blitzkrieg Bop“, „Beat On The Brat“, „Judy Is A Punk“ und „I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend“.

  • Tim Heidecker Presents New Single “​Property​”
    September 16, 2020 For Immediate Release Tim Heidecker Presents New Single “Property” ​ ​ Fear Of Death Out Next Friday, September 25th on Spacebomb Records ​ Photo Courtesy of Spacebomb Records Tim Heidecker will release his biggest sounding album yet, Fear Of Death, next Friday, ​ ​ ​ ​ September 25th on Spacebomb Records. Today, he presents the album’s third single, ​ ​ ​ “Property.” While previously-released singles “Nothing” and “Fear Of Death” mull over ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ mortality, “Property” sees Heidecker pondering the possibility of cemeteries becoming part of a capitalistic, real-estate driven world: “They buried those bodies with the best intent, yes ​ they did // But those boxes could be turned into rent, and you know that they will.” Heidecker ​ and Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering’s voices glide over hushed, relaxed percussion and ​ ​ floating keys. As Heidecker’s voice becomes more urgent, the instrumentation billows with brass and pronounced strings. Listen to Tim Heidecker’s “Property” Fear of Death features an all star band comprised of Weyes Blood’s Natalie Mering, Drew ​ ​ ​ ​ Erickson (Jonathan Wilson, Dawes), The Lemon Twigs’ Brian and Michael D’Addario, ​ ​ ​ Jonathan Rado, and string arrangements by Spacebomb’s Trey Pollard (Foxygen, Bedouine, ​ ​ ​ The Waterboys, Natalie Prass). Throughout, Heidecker’s sound is fleshed out with winding guitar, slow-building percussion, gentle keys, and a 14-piece string ensemble. This is an earnest departure from comedy and a collection of songs that centers around Serious Topics. As Variety

  • Supreme Being LOS ANGELES 11.09.14
    SCENE & HERD Supreme Being LOS ANGELES 11.09.14 Left: Jack Black with artist Steven Hull. Right: Steven Hull's Circus of Death installation. (Photos: Miriam Katz) “FUCK THIS VIP SHIT—I want some real California dick!” cried a braless Bridget Everett as she made her way toward the general admission section of the crowd. Everett eventually found an object for her affection, a masked dandy she nicknamed “Corky” (cause he was “Down’s-y in the eyes”), whom she cajoled into playing a grown-up game of airplane, bearing the weight of her significant frame right there in the middle of the stage. Soon enough she was motorboating Peaches (the musician, not the fruit), forcing a security guard’s head up her dress, and crooning gorgeously about lady parts of various shapes and sizes. The sun was still shining, but she was working on her night moves. FOMO abounded among the ten thousand attendees at the second annual Festival Supreme, a ten-hour comedy, music, and visual art event organized by Jack Black and Kyle Gass of Tenacious D. Many sported elaborate costumes as we navigated the fifty-plus live acts across four stages, as well as a fifty four-thousand-square-foot art installation, all in an early-twentieth-century Shriners temple located in downtown Los Angeles. The lineup was sick (Fred Armisen, Margaret Cho, Nick Kroll, to name a few), and as if that weren’t enough, special, surprise guests included Weird Al Yankovic, who shredded the Keytar with Tenacious D, and Zach Galifianakis, who starred, along with Orange Is the New Black’s Lauren Lapkus and Parks and Recreation’s Adam Scott, in a live rendition of Scott Aukerman’s podcast and IFC show Comedy Bang! Bang! The heart of the festival lay in its focus on comedy music, a seemingly puerile medium with surprisingly lofty potential.

  • “Is This S**T for Real?” Adorno, Benjamin, and Anti-Comedy Dennis Golin
    “Is This S**t For Real?” Adorno, Benjamin, and Anti-Comedy Dennis Golin German cultural theorists Walter Benjamin and Teodore Adorno were outspoken in lamenting the industrially-churned sameness produced by the culture industry, yet both men also saw the power of truly authentic work to deliver moments of introspection (or, as is often the case in modern art, to highlight the absence of them). Te visual technologies of the twentieth century have the power to lull us into submission, but also to politically energize mass audiences through propagating absurdity, imperfection, and confrontation. According to Benjamin’s theories, flm may even have the power to form a window into the unconscious. Te philosophy sustained and elucidated by these two men has had a profound infuence on modern American comedy, particularly in the work of comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim. Troughout their oeuvre of surreal comedy sketches, Tim and Eric take up the complex themes of alienation, greed, inadequacy, and a Freudian obsession with paternity (and by extension patriarchy), and feed them roughly through the meat grinder of lowbrow comedy. Te result embraces the derivative, the faulty, and the profane, creating authenticity by pointing out the hopelessness in trying to achieve it. In the process, their comedy expands our sensibilities and sensory vocabularies, challenges our relationships to reality, and redefnes the scope of artistic expression. Dennis Golin is pursuing his Master's Degree in Media, Culture, and Communications at New York University. A lifelong resident of the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, his research interests include alternative comedy, Public Access Television, the Cold War, and social media manipulation.
