Non-Music Shit / Re: Pussy Riot
« on: August 31, 2012, 04:17:42 AM »
From the current issue of Private Eye:
WHEN a British grandfather read about the trial of three members of the Russian feminist collective Pussy Riot, he was moved to write to the Russian embassy, expressing his shock at the ?senseless prosecution and punishment of its citizens?.
He went on: ?I admire their courage and the example that they set, especially for my own two granddaughters, aged 4 and 8.?
One might have expected a stock response from the Russian embassy. Instead the Pussy Riot supporter got sent an unsigned email from the embassy?s press and culture department: ?As one can see from your email, you are interested in the creative activities of the group Pussy Riot. Here are two more of them for you to enjoy (please do not show them to your granddaughter, as it might lead to your inclusion in sex offenders register).?
Shocking stuff
There followed links to two pieces of performance art, not by Pussy Riot but by the art collective Voina, which is affiliated to them. One showed members of Voina entering a museum, stripping off and having a naked orgy. Shocking stuff.
The other showed the group entering a supermarket and choosing a chicken from the fridge before a woman member took off her knickers and pushed most of the dead bird inside her vagina. Really shocking stuff.
Vaguely sinister reply
The concerned Brit asked if this was a response from the ambassador. The press and culture department sent another vaguely sinister reply: ?It is not a response from the ambassador. It?s awareness raising for you to have a better understanding of the situation. Do feel free to see the artistic performances, but as long as there are no children or vulnerable persons around.?
The Eye asked the embassy?s press department why an anonymous staffer was sending disturbing ?performance art? to a British citizen ? and why the embassy staff took such a hard-line stance against Pussy Riot. After all, at the time no verdict had even been reached.
Curiously, the embassy chose not to answer the Eye?s questions.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Pussy Riot
« on: August 15, 2012, 02:13:16 AM »Raise your hand if you've noticed how the vast majority of stories and postings about Pussy Riot feature this girl's picture, and not the other two girls who are decidedly more homely:
The Observer ran a horrible article here in the UK. Sample quote:
It is also so incredibly visual: the women sit in a cage in the middle of the court. They're all attractive, "but Nadia, she looks like she's in a perfume ad or something. They're all so cool, but you should see Nadia walk into court in her handcuffs. It's an incredible sight. She's like Simone de Beauvoir. I'm romanticising a bit, but she's Simone de Beauvoir. And Peter is Russia's Sartre."

His music is very accessible. Which may be the reason it's so good. Lotta good songs, I think that LP falls short after many listens. Some songs are great, some are good. The TTT 7" rules and the song "So Bored" is great too. Dude obviously can write a good song. But this argument is already beat so who cares? I just don't think I've ever voiced my opinion on it.
