not a documentary, but I think somebody should do it

Some real gems in those interviews. The follow-up was really funny, as well.

Watched a National Geographic show about the wonderfully venomous spiders & snakes in Australia. I like  anything about snakes/spiders & Australia is interesting because it's still almost like the wild west. A huge place that's barely inhabited.

A buddy of mine went there for a year travelling, the only job he could find at the time was with a company who were swapping out old timber stilts in houses and replacing them with metal...his job was to go underneath the house in a full body boiler suit and headgear and swat anything that moved when they busted out the stilts...good money too he said...i wonder why ha ha :)

Just watched City/Ruin which I am sure has been mentioned in this thread. It was far better than that People Who Do Noise joke. For those who haven't watched it, full and free stream here:

VH1 is running a docu about HipHop & the Rodney King riots. Snoop Dog narrates. Lots of good footage & an interview with one of the men that beat the truck driver half to death- he put his foot on the trucker's throat while another stomped & beat with a cinderblock. He's asked if he feels any regrets about what he did which results in a lot of stammering. SOunds like he wants to say "No" but knows the camera is in his face. There's interviews & footage of members of N.W.A. talking about the songs they made about the riots & "Fuck the Police". No one brings up that alot of those people are now actors who play cops & are multi-millionaires who live far, far away.

Some of the best footage is the Korean shop owners who fought back, getting into gunfights- there's footage of them shooting but oddly enough, no footage of who was shooting at them. Edited out or the original cameraman just neglected to film in the other direction?

"Shut Up Little Man!"

Excellent documentary on audio verite tapes which were big in the 90s of drunk neighbours arguing. I heard this stuff maybe '93 from a Bananafish reading friend, Sotos wrote about it in Parasite around that time too. First half of documentary is all as funny as the tapes and recaps it all brilliantly for anyone unaware of them, second half shifts into ethical and moral considerations about exploitation. Eddie Lee Sausage seems a repugnant human being as do all the Hollywood people and Raymond, Peter and Tony come out of the film with extraordinary dignity compared to them. Very thought-provoking, highly recommended. Queers are not human. I am the human race. You crucified the dinner.

The description is very misleading! I sat down really looking forward to watching something interesting which is why it annoyed me so much. I will have a look through the site soon though, hopefully find some good documentaries.

Re-watching the 2005 documentary Gay Sex In The 70's by Joseph Lovett. I placed it in the wrong thread last time I watched it so I'll just comment in here about it as well. Some decent to good archival footage from gloryholes, dark rooms and bath house's which is pretty much what the movie is focused on; anonymous sex that eventually became almost obsolete with the emergence of the bug. Some old footage of these dives and discos, as well as interviews, and a decent amount on the Stonewall Riots of 1969.

I think it was Tiny Tove who said, he either did or is going to, sample this? Which album is it on, or going to be on?

How is it going to be made up? Is it interviews with yourself? Voice over on top of film? Or collection of live footage?

No personal this time.
Plenty of violent sounds, with explicit lyrics and several samples.

I would like to release it as a vinyl. All ideas were collected during in early 2000s, when I was closely collaborating with Northgate and other Italian gentlemen who were/are heavily involved in the leather/bear community. In thjose days I have been asked to get deeper in the subject to contribute with some artwork on the subject (some was published on an article of mr. Unheard for notorious erotic art magazine BLUE. http://www.coniglioeditore.it/catalogo/fumetto-adulti/blue), and I helped the SPATTER rec. to release the "Songs from the darkroom" compilation.

During those days I have collected hours of samples/images from several sources, both directly from "sources" and plenty of documentaries, etc.

The tracks themselves are ready, I need to record vocals and select from the many samples I have.

I sort of lost interest in the subject due to other obsessions, but recently reconsidered to focus on that after discovering Mario Mieli's work... Although his transexual oriented stuff is aestetically the opposite of the extreme preadatory/macho oriented concept I was working on.


Time shall tell...

That sounds like something I would really be interested in. I hope it takes shape sooner than later.
