Billy Corgan, founder and frontman for the rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, talks frankly about the music business, the role of the musician in society, the ever mutating left-right paradigm, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the indisputable spiritual awakening that threatens a mass awakening that will take down the globalist agenda.
‘World of Evil’ is an all-out AV assault on an American political machine now in psychotic overdrive for the Presidential election. A 5000 frame crash edit comedy celebration of the blatant corruption, florid insanity and plain good old smelly bullshit that characterises the political landscape of the world’s most powerful country. The ‘World of Evil’ piece by US cut-up don TV Sheriff is the first fruits of the Revolution USA project, where the global audience is invited to interactively remix the media and get satirical or plain nasty on the besuited mini-beelzebubbas who juggle things improper on behalf of us all. And if this is just the start, imagine where it’s going to finish…
Leviathan worked with frequent collaborator and renowned VJ Vello Virkhaus on groundbreaking performance visuals for electronic musician Amon Tobin, creating ethereal CG narratives and engineering the geometry maps for an entire stage of stacked cube-like structures. Taking the performance further, the Leviathan team also developed a proprietary projection alignment tool to ensure quick and accurate setup for the show, along with custom Kinect control & visualization utilities for Amon to command.
With millions of people around the globe watching “Occupy” unfold daily, parents, teachers, educators and simply “interested people” have asked for an educational piece that captures this culture defining event and moment in history. Accurately depicted in detailed line art and conversation the book includes modern and historical figures with quotations from Plato to O’Rielly, Hannity to Maddow, Obama to Boehner. There are pages dating back to the Robin Hood era, drawings of various parks, political views from every angle and a few surprises with imaginative satirical pages. Included are newly written “Occupy” songs, poems and games and a true to life “Guilt Relief Donation Form” for the overburdened 1%!
‘Occupy’ protesters mint their own coloring book
CHICAGO — Anti-Wall Street protesters have a new way to pass the time: an “Occupy” coloring book complete with songs and a visit from Robin Hood. The “grown-up coloring book novel” was released last week by Really Big Coloring Books, a Missouri-based publisher that recently made headlines with a controversial coloring book about the September 11, 2001 attacks. “We think we’re onto something with these cultural pieces that truly reflect what people want to hear and want to say,” said publisher Wayne Bell. The company’s first big hit came when it published a Barack Obama coloring book just four days after he won the historic 2008 US presidential election. It also had a great deal of success with a coloring book about the conservative Tea Party movement. The aim of the books is not to promote a particular political agenda, Bell said, but to give parents an outlet to discuss important issues and current events with their children. “We know a lot of people are going to love it and other people are going to make fun of it,” Bell told AFP. “It’s really an interesting reflection on what’s going on out in the streets.” To keep the book balanced, Bell’s teams spoke with people across the political spectrum about the Occupy movement and included two pages showing what pundits on the right and the left are saying about it. To keep it fun, they included a maze, a crossword puzzle and a 1% Golden Bull Guilt Relief Form to help the rich donate their wealth to the needy. The original songs are perhaps the best part. One titled “Humpty Grumpty” goes: “Investments, Investments, sat on a wall; Investments, Investments had a great fall. The Congress and Senate and President’s men; Couldn’t put Dollars and Sense together again.” Bell’s favorite is “Sing a Song of Sixpence”: Sing a song of sixpence; my pockets have gone dry. Nine & twenty A.P.R. why even try? The mortgage rate has opened, and I don’t have a thing. Pitch a tent in the city park, my things I will bring.”
Jasiri X Responds to UConn’s Suppression of Free Speech
Uploaded by jasirix on Nov 7, 2011I was recently invited to perform at the University of Connecticut on November 4th as the principal performer for a “Political Awareness Rally”. About a week before the event I got an email from the organizer (who ironically I met at Occupy Wall St) saying people were concerned about my performance, particularly the song “Occupy (We the 99).” I thought this was very strange because this is supposed to be an institution of higher learning that welcomes all types of ideas, plus the event was a rally for political awareness. The organizer said he would not censor me but if I performed it I might not get paid. Then I received an email directly from the comptroller of the University saying specifically I could not perform “Occupy (We the 99).” I initially agreed to perform only a set of songs the University of Connecticut deemed “not political” because the event had already been advertised around campus and didn’t want to disappoint my fans by not showing up. I also did not want to let down the organizers who did a lot of hard work in putting the event together. But when I arrived at the University of Connecticut for the event I had a change of heart.
As I looked around the crowd I began to think of all the people around the world occupying for a better tomorrow, being arrested and brutalized by police, sleeping in the cold and rain, sacrificing comfort for freedom. I knew at that moment I had to perform the song, “Occupy (We the 99)” as well as other “political” songs like “Real Gangstas” (about the Wall St bankers), even if it meant I would not get paid. At some point in this movement all of us are going to have to make sacrifices if we truly want to see real change. The 1% control the 99% with promises of money, access, and comfort; we have to put our own souls above all three.
Sincerely, Jasiri X
