PLANETDAMAGE

If you’ve been checking up on the Neuromancer movie news, you’ll probably be aware that Case has been renamed to Cage in the official press material, the teaser poster looks like a Bauhaus/steampunk wet dream on mescaline and a tint of artstyness and Hayden Christensen is not listed on the movie’s IMDB page at the moment.

You might not know, though, that there’s a longer and quite creative thread about Neuromancer on Coilhouse (who have actually released their first print version that doesn’t get into wide circulation so order them like fuck, I’ve already done so) and there you have a YouTube embed of Kahn’s version of the George Michael track Freeek and it looks very slick to be cyberpunkish, if anything. If Kahn can keep a steady hand on the visuals, Neuromancer’s going to be a decent slap on the face. (via coilhouse)

I’ll ask the same question here, though: tell me about your ideas, who’d you cast as the main characters?

Rájöttem, mire jó John Coltrane.
John Coltrane ingyen tartja az ívfényt az ágyatoknál. John Coltrane ingyen szaxofonozik nektek (fáklya híján az is megteszi, bár hangosabb, elnyomja a záróizmok kéjes recsegését). John Coltrane elkísér a boltba melegítõben tejért, ha már nincs jobb dolga. John Coltrane nevének kezdõbetűi egybejátszanak Jesus Christéval, élhetünk a gyanúperrel tehát, hogy Jézus él és megvállasodott annyira, hogy tudja cipelni a batár rézkürtöket. Is. Ahogy elnézem, John Coltrane áramvonalasra szarja a mogyorót. John Coltrane koffeinízt kölcsönöz a sonkászsemlének, olykor kutyát eszik. John Coltrane ma elegáns pályán lép be a légkörbe.

Mondok jobbat, fogjuk fel az AIDSet adathalmaznak, hiszen ha harapdálja a DNSt, van benne adat, amivel le is tudja azt harcolni. Ha adat, lejátszható. Bármi lejátszható zeneként, csak egy kellôképpen szabadelvû player meg egy kellôképpen nemsajnált-nemóvott hangfal kell hozzá, a tesztszignált csak kb. egy óráig bírják a középkategóriás hangfalak, talán Isten hangja szól majd a HIVbôl, talán nem. A kérdés, a kérdés csak az, a RIAA levédené a pestist, ha megtehetné? (dbc, öt éve így)

Australian cyberpunk duo Angelspit is busy posting the production diaries of their new album and slowly, if they keep their pace of posting and I keep my pace of neglecting posting here in favor of glorious work and keeping my nervous system intact (which is far funnier than it sounds, trust me), [planetdamage] will become nothing more than their foothold. Blimey.

Long live the Sydney axis and two re-interpretations of cyberpunk. Above, industrial metal band NEW PROJECT promoting their 2006 EP Primal.Logic.Slave, below, another production diary by ANGELSPIT.

Shoegazer is actually back at the HQ.

If Kill Kitty wasn’t enough for you, here’s a new lo-fi video production diary of Angelspit’s new album, Blood Death Ivory.

We have a new teaser from REPO!:THE GENETIC OPERA, the scene Mark it Up! featuring lovely (really) Paris Hilton, and a gorgeously eccentric Ogre from Skinny Puppy. Grotesque, tinted fuckerily and with brains.

UPDATE 1: Eftelsander removed the Mark It Up scene and replaced it with a behind the scenes video - with more insight and unfortunately, more talk. Enjoy.

I have Angelspit’s BLOOD DEATH IVORY here with me, the CD looks amazing, the music rocks and now we have six minutes of actual music production documented by Zoog. No comments, it’s just so pure crystal effort.

Interesting how I got back to some old roots just in a day - found a long interview with one half of Breyer P-Orridge, Genesis P-Orridge - whom a couple of you might know from Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV and its direct transfiguration PTV3, Thee Majesty and lots of other cooperative works (from XPK to Download, and then some), then found myself digging through longish histories of The Process and TOPI as well. The Radar Magazine interview is an insanely touching piece of work that got me interested in the sheer will and love that formed Breyer P-Orridge into life. So much more to say, so much silence.
