"Back To The Underground With A New Set of Rules"



In my opinion the best ever of Savage Pencil's long running Wire Magazine Trip Or Squeek comic strips. Sure, as he often does, he somehow gets things right and wrong at the same time but it makes me laugh so in this case I'll let him off.

Space Oddity: A Banned Imaginary Children's Book

Imaginary children's book designed by Andrew Kolb (www.kolbisneat.com) based on the David Bowie song.

Unfortunately he was struck with a cease and desist order by the song's publishers so it's no longer on his website.

Animated video version at bottom of page.

Manifesto 1.1 (after Stewart Home)

Manifesto 1.1

01. We are China Pig, Pavlov's Dog's Dinner, Send In The Idiots, (Inaudible) Pervert, White Van Man.

02. Names are arbitrary. We refuse to be limited to one name. We encourage all groups to use these names. We want 1,000,000 China Pigs. Names belong to no one, use them as they are yours.

03. We exist only by implication.

04. We reject the notion of copyright. Take what you can use.

05. We affirm that plagiarism is the modern artistic method. Plagiarism is artistic crime against property. It is theft and theft is a political act.

06. We exist only to combat the plague of innovation.

07. We embrace contradiction and inconsistency.

08. Our claims to artistry may be limited, but within said limits there is absolute freedom.

Light-Ray Faces, In The Space...


Bizarre, if visually dated, Hungarian tribute to classic science fiction soundtracked by the sounds of Tangerine Dream, The Human League, Tomita, Kraftwerk and other quality electro music I don't recognise,

Nailed it.


"Hipsters are narcissistic dilettantes. Hipsters are all show and no go.
Hipsters bought the t-shirt. Hipsters will watch The Godfather (clips on youtube)
then lecture The Pope on Catholicism. Hipsters can afford all the bells and
whistles of counterculture but never invest themselves into it. Hipsters are dicks."

Ryan's Re-Mix of The Beatles

One of my favourite Youtube channels is back, no doubt after riding out it's billionth copyright strike.



Ryan Wyer, aka epic1:40d Music, the (at the time) 12 year old Irish lad who gained more than a little fame after being commissioned by the Aphex Twin to direct the official video for his track ‘CIRKLON3 [ Колхозная mix ]’ has posted his reworking of the Beatles "Revolution #9"

And good it is.
