I have a terrible cold, and the last few days I've been uncannily preoccupied with ejaculating as much of the soft stuff inside my cranium as possible. I'm out of kleenex and kitchen rolls, so it's down to the toiler paper. I have a glass filled with icecubes and cheap spanish whisky, and it's midnight. It's writing time. DCU: Vigilante starts now.

To keep me in the mood, I'm pulling a marathon Radio Sophism session as well. Here's a small sample of the playlist:

Arab Strap -Mad For Sadness
Radiohead - Kid A
Sneaker Pimps - Bloodsport
Fantomas - The Directors Cut
Tom Waits -Romeo is Bleeding.

Here's the lyrics which sets the tone of this project:

there's a little child
running round this house
and he never leaves
he will never leave
and the fog comes up from the sewers
and glows in the dark

baby alligators in the sewers grow up fast
grow up fast
how did you go bad?
did you go bad?
did you go bad?

-Radiohead, Alligators in New York Sewers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 31, 2001
GRAND ROYAL
R.I.P.
1993-2001

Mounting debts, decreasing assets and exceedingly harsh industry conditions have forced the venerable Grand Royal label to close its doors. The announcement came today that the label could no longer operate at its current loss.

"This is one of the most difficult decisions we've ever had to make," said co-founder Mike Diamond a/k/a Mike D of Beastie Boys. "Over the years the Grand Royal family had grown to include some of the most talented musicians and staff in the business. It's tragic that the same growth has also produced an overhead and infrastructure that can no longer viable."

Grand Royal was founded by Beastie Boys in 1993, the first release on the label being Luscious Jackson's now classic In Search Of Manny. Within a few years, the label had gone from a public hobby to a full service operation, with a roster featuring Atari Teenage Riot, Ben Lee, Sean Lennon, BS2000 and others, and Luscious Jackson's Fever In, Fever Out being certified gold. More recently, Grand Royal releases At The Drive-In's critically lauded Relationship Of Command, which went on to sell nearly 1 million copies worldwide.

"Our intentions were always simply to create a home for exciting music and the people who were passionate about it," Diamond said. "It really sucks that we can't continue to do that."

At least this bugger of a game is just as addictive as hard narcotics, intravenously injected in the thick vein of your cock. You know this to be true. Would I lie to you?

Anyway, you're Kevin, the Space penguin, who has to find the way back to his spaceship via a slingshot. Beware of planets, gravity pits and satelites. Click on the image to play the game.

Incidentally, I'm not entirely convinced you should play the game like I do.

There are some things, which seen in the aftermath of the recent carnage, makes a shiver go down my back. Once is coincidence, two is odd, anything after that is suspicious.

Here a cover from "The Coop", a left-wing anti-capitalistic rap group. They even got the explosions right. Luckily, the album was due to be released next month, but have now been pushed back to November 5th, awaiting a new cover. However, it has been online for months, and the first single was called "10,000 ways to kill an CEO". Spooky, innit?

Dream Theater wasn't that lucky, they had already released their album entitled "Live Scenes from New York". Or released and released, mysteriously enough was it released on Tuesday 12th, which makes it damn inappropriate to have pictures of Manhattan in flames on the cover.

'tele trieste' is a collaboration between berlin based electronic music artists 'eyeon' and 'mode selektor'. The recording is a 35 minutes live session recorded on 7th of april 2001 (thus the titel 'live 07.04.1462'), ranging from power electronics to dark ambient and more rhythmical stuff. Now what most likely interests people most - the cover picture: the collage was made THE END OF MAY, using a picture olaf winkelmann photographed himself when visiting new york in june 1998. The airplane icons were cut out from an educational book for students. The artist says there were no political intentions behind the collage. The cd went into distribution through staalplaat/neurotitan and das drehmoment, both located in germany, on the FOURTEENTH OF JUNE, three months ago.
