NC-Logo-Poll
Ich habe mich ja ein bisschen in das Logo verliebt, das ich zu Halloween für Nerdcore zusammengeklickt habe. Und ich finde es mittlerweile auch besser, als das alte, das auch in einer Zeit entstand, als ich noch viel mehr Gestalter und Illustrator war, daher auch die CMYK-Spielerei darin. Das neue Logo spiegelt viel eher wieder, worum es hier mittlerweile geht: Alles und Awesomeness.
Deshalb an Euch die Frage:

Loading ...Monty Pythons Mr. Creosote Vomiting Action-Figure
Eine kotzende Mr. Creosote-Actionfigur! Und es gibt tatsächlich Mr. Creosote Wafer Thin Mints, die sind nur hauchhauchdünn. WAAAAAAAA! WANT!
Squeeze Mr. Creosote and he vomits! Let go, and the vomit slides sickeningly back into his mouth and down his throat. Splatter fans, this is a must-have!<
Maitre d': Et maintenant, would monsieur care for an aperitif, or would he prefer to order straightaway? Today, we have for appetizers - excuse me - uh, moules marinières, pâte de foie gras, beluga caviar, eggs Benedictine, tarte de poireaux - that's leek tart - frogs legs amandine or oeufs de caille Richard Shepherd - C'est à dire, little quails' eggs on a bed of pureed mushrooms. It's very delicate, very succulent.
Mr. Creosote: I'll have the lot.
The Bloodthirsty Bible
Schöne Videoserie von The Thinking Atheist: The Bloodthirsty Bible. Die weiteren Videos gibt’s beim kotzenden Einhorn.
Musicvideos: Beady Eye (Oasis without Noel), White Lies, Deadbots, Basement Freaks
(Vimeo Direktoasis, via Diskursdisko)
Oben erstmal das neue Video zu Beady Eyes „Bring The Light“, die neue Band von Liam Gallagher, Oasis ohne Noel quasi. Typisches Spätphasen-Oasis, nett, ohne an die frühen Hymnen heranreichen zu können. Muss es aber auch nicht. Mehr Videos nach dem Klick.
No Music Day is full of Music
Aus irgendeinem Grund hat Bill Drummond (von KLF, die anno dazumal eine Million Pfund verbrannten) 2004 den „No Music Day“ inklusive eines Fünf-Jahres-Plans initiiert. Beknackte Idee, kein Wunder, dass ich bis jetzt noch nie davon hörte. Für 2010 hat er zu offenen Interpretationen des Projekts aufgerufen, hier meine: eine Playlist aus 25 wundervollen Songs.

Patrick aus Chicago hat ein Video bei Youtube hochgeladen, von dort wieder runtergeladen und das Ergebnis wieder hochgeladen. Und das genau eintausend mal. Oben der Youtube-Compressionporn, der vor einer Weile schonmal die Runde machte, in einem Video zusammengefasst.
Full words: I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice as well as the image of myself, and I am going to upload it to YouTube, rip it from YouTube, and upload it again and again, until the original characteristics of both my voice and my image are destroyed. What you will see and hear, then, are the artifacts inherent in the video codec of both YouTube and the mp4 format I convert it to on my computer. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a digital fact, but more as a way to eliminate all human qualities my speech and image might have.

Bruce Lacey and his kissing Robot (1967), von Wikipedia: „Now in his 80s, he lives in a farmhouse in Norfolk surrounded by a bizarre collection of his creations. In spite of ill health he is still working. His latest project he calls ‘vox humana exploration’ using his voice through a series of effects to perform his own songs plus those of David Bowie, Rod Stewart and Queen.“

Laserscanning the Nottingham Caves
Unter Nottingham existiert ein über tausend Jahre altes System aus menschengemachten Höhlen, das grade im Rahmen der Nottingham Caves Survey mit einem Laser gescannt und in einem 3D-Modell dargestellt wird. Von Wikipedia:
Beneath the houses, shops and offices of Nottingham lie hundreds of caves. Few people in Nottingham are aware of this labyrinth, which exists underneath the city streets, and fewer still have visited them. Nottingham has more man-made caves than anywhere else in Britain. People have worked and lived in them for over 1,000 years.
Superfaszinierend, Snip von der Website zum Projekt:
All caves that can be physically accessed will be surveyed with a 3D laser scanner, producing a full measured record of the caves in three dimensions. This ‘point cloud’ of millions of individual survey points can be cut and sliced into plans and sections, ‘flown through’ in short videos, and examined in great detail either on the web through the TruView Internet Explorer plug-in or on a fixed PC with suitable software.
Unbedingt auch Youtube-Channel voller Videos mit Flügen um und durch das Höhlensystem ansehen, superinteressanter Kram. (via BLDGBLOG)
Headsmashing Monster from the Underground
Ich liebe diese Illu aus dem Comic Skulls, das Anfang der 70er erschien. Golden Age Comicbook-Stories hat ein paar High Res-Scans daraus.
Hollywoods RealLife-Superheroes for the Win!
Hollywoods Real Life-Superhelden, die im Sommer von der Los Angeles Police verhaftet wurden, haben die Polizei verklagt und vor Gericht gewonnen. Der Richter ordnete an, dass sie wieder ihrer Beschäftigung nachgehen dürfen, ohne von den Cops belästigt zu werden.
The four street performers who sued had argued they were wrongly arrested and intimidated by the LAPD. U.S. District Judge Dean Pregerson ruled that the characters had a First Amendment and Fourth Amendment right to remain on the public sidewalk free from police persecution as long as they were not blocking the walkway or overzealously demanding change.
“The court is further sensitive that although costumed performance may not be a traditional form of speech, it is without doubt a protected one,” Pregerson ruled.

Destroy All Movies!!!: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film
Tolles neues Buch von Zack Carlson und Bryan Connolly, in dem sie nach sechs Jahren Recherchen jeden einzelnen gottverdammten Auftritt von Punks in Filmen festhalten. Das Ding habe ich mir grade sowas von vorbestellt, ich hab dabei einmal extrafest auf den Orderbutton geklickt und wie awesome ich dieses Buch jetzt schon finde, kann ich gar nicht genug betonen. Awesome in großen Pink-Gelben-Versalien-Awesome: AWESOME! Amazon-Partnerlink: Destroy All Movies!!!: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film
Auf Flickr gibt’s ein paar Seiten des Buchs als Preview inklusive Durchblätter-Video, Everything is Terrible machen zum Buch gleich eine vierteilige Videoserie, die ersten drei Teile sind online, den anderen reiche ich nach.
The most dazzlingly insane film reference book of all time, Destroy All Movies!!! is an informative, hilarious, and impossibly complete guide to every goddamn appearance of a punk (or new waver!) to hit the screen in the 20th Century. This wildly comprehensive eyeball-slammer features A-to-Z coverage of over 1100 feature films from around the world, as well as dozens of exclusive interviews with the creators and cast of essential titles such as Repo Man, Return of the Living Dead, The Decline of Western Civilization and Valley Girl. Everyone from Richard Hell to Penelope Spheeris to Ian MacKaye contributes his or her uncensored reminiscences from the front lines of a revolution. Other interviewees include Alex Cox, Nick Zedd, Lech Kowalski, Mary Woronov and Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris. Also examined are hundreds of prime examples of straight-to-VHS slasher trash, Brooklyn junkie masterpieces, Filipino breakdancing fairytales, no-budget post-apocalyptic epics, and movies that shouldn’t even have been released, many of which have never been written about online or in print!
In the late ’70s, Punk Rock and its followers ambushed the world with nuclear force. It was an unprecedented phenomenon that infested radios, print, and culture as a whole. Of all its shell-shocked witnesses, the least prepared was Hollywood, who viewed the movement as a walking epidemic of self-abusive, garbage-eating, candy-colored manimals ripe for marketable stereotyping. The results were hilarious, as lowbrow cinema was forever altered in the shadows of 20-inch mohawks and steel-spiked wardrobes. Meanwhile, punk participants like Spheeris and Alex Cox managed to document the emerging outbreak in a more humanistic light, creating enduring visions of a new breed of youth through blazing music documentaries and innovative narrative assaults.
Destroy All Movies!!! nails down both ends of the spectrum with superhuman research, vicious precision, and electrically charged stills and images, and is the first and final definitive armchair roadmap to punk and new wave on celluloid. Five years in the making, this pulse-bursting monument to lowbrow cultural obsession is a must for all film fanatics, music maniacs, anti-fashion mutants, ’80s nostalgists, sleazoids, cop-killers, and spazzmatics!
Hier noch der Trailer zur Releaseparty:

Wissenschaftler am CERN haben zum ersten mal Antimaterie für einen längeren Zeitraum festhalten können. Warpdrive next. „The team know the trap worked because they made about 10 million antihydrogen atoms which promptly obliterated themselves. Then they turned off their new trap and saw 38 more obliterations – meaning those 38 antihydrogens stuck in the trap.“ (via Spacecollective)
