Just got tipped off by regular reader, Costumeoff, about the latest episode of South Park. Imagine my surprise to hear about Matt Stone and Trey Parker touching upon Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and…ritual sacrifice. Maybe, this insight is simply in the air now, having penetrating the veil. With satire and cartoon kids, [...]

Submitted for your analysis: the hottest, hippest, young people and a moving, cinematic montage fit for an Oscar-winning film’s promotional package or a Gap ad; versus the Whitest and Dorkiest of white and non-white people with lower producution values, less sex appeal, and inspirational power of the 1985 New England Patriot’s answer to the Super [...]

As the whole dog-and-pony show of the presidential (s)election season heats up, I’m re-reading the abridged version of Frazier’s Golden Bough. Specifically, I’ve been going over the section entitled “MAGICIANS AS KINGS.” As always, reading Frazier is illuminating for the unspoken connections it demonstrates for me between the magical and so-called primitive past [...]

Kudos to Ty Brown at Dreamsend for this great essay. It’s nice to see someone has come around to seeing in this Britney Spears spectacle as the kind of destructive magic I’ve been noticing. (Not that I really needed anyone else to see it to intuit the dark truth I’ve noticed, but [...]

I didn’t want to write about this stuff again because I’m not sure that it’s helpful. But, as far as I see it, it’s a reality that is going on.
At least Ty Brown is beginning to see this, albeit from his own somewhat different angle.
Britney has been propped up as a representation of a [...]

Perhaps the whole distraction-story about steroid use in professional sports is even less about the drugs than I supposed. Perhaps, it’s all about surveillance–of the doped athletes and the duped fans alike.
Microchips anyone?
The entire spectacle surrounding Barry Bonds and, more recently, Roger Clemens in particular and steroid/human-growth hormone use in general among professional athletes [...]

We’ve gone from tazering seemingly conspiracy-oriented college students while the “audience” of fellow students and administrators do nothing, to having audiences cheer at a live taping of Real Time when Bill Maher helps remove “9-11 Truthers” from his studio.
Amazing how quickly the (short-) attention economy of Spectacle moves.
What’s telling are two remarks Maher made during [...]

I recently found an old Rolling Stone interview from 1974 between William S. Burroughs and David Bowie and some befuddled rock journalist who comes off as a total third wheel. At the time that this rock journalist set up the meeting, the two weren’t all too familiar with each other’s work. Bowie had never [...]

Having sacrificed Anna Nicole and Britney upon the altar of the Spectacle in the past year, we have a new representative goddess of debased Spectacle culture ready to take the ritual stage.
Her name is Miley Cyrus.
From Yahoo! music news:
Forget The Police, Justin Timberlake or Bruce Springsteen. The undisputed hottest concert ticket of the year is [...]

I’m almost whole disconnected from the realities spun by TV, though the realities weaved by the spider’s web of internet often catch me in their snares, so pleasing they are to the monkey’s of comfortable habit that lie within me. Nevertheless, I have found myself flipping through the channels recently now that I’ve moved [...]
