filmbuzz – making movies

September 19, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

With the availablity of movie making software such as Final Cut Pro and Flash, pretty much anyone can pull together a music video to one of their favorite songs. I’m rather fascinated with this homegrown movement and enjoy it immensely. The results aren’t always the best, but now and again something shines through. This homemade [...]

webuzz – the "monkey with a blow torch" files

September 18, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Bush tells Congress if they don’t do what he wants, he’ll take his bucket and pail and go home. If the Conservative Congress and the Conservative White House were truly run like a business, those responsible for the fiscal shape the country is in would be fired. Don’t forget to vote in November. Bonddad at [...]

September 16, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

webuzz – fear and loathing in America

September 14, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

As ever, it is time once again to ask: Remember Anthrax? Atrios asked last month (linking to AmericaBlog) and The Carpetbagger Report keeps Anthrax on the menu as well. The BBC’s Newsnight still remains one of the only comprehensive investigations of this matter that I’m aware of. Fascists in training. Paranoia. (c/o The Sideshow) Abdigating [...]

Fox News Propaganda

September 14, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

The good folks over at Newshounds catch Fox News doing what it does best- spewing propaganda for the right wing. Fox News committed political heresy Tuesday (Sept. 12, 2006) by allowing a guest to question whether there are any true terrorist cells in the United States, but it did its best to undercut what the [...]

Catapulting the Propaganda of "Path to 9/11"

September 11, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Soviet dictator Josef Stalin was a movie fan who understood how cinematic entertainment could be used to soldify power by manipulating the perspective of the masses via the power of story. The American political and media landscape is by no means immune from the practice of historical revisionsim via the cinema for the benefit of [...]

what makes a man a man?

September 9, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

A rare video of The Who performing “Tattoo” in 1974. The song is from The Who Sell Out. It’s at the beginning of Pete Townshend’s descent into alcholism. By 1979 he’ll have written “Who Are You” which begins with the line: “Woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name. He said: ‘You [...]

"Path to 9/11" is 911 for ABC and Disney

September 9, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Whilst a good portion of the right-wing ideology dogs are holding to their hopes that the Path to 9/11 will be aired with its historical revisionism intact (cause Freepers and Confederate Yankee believe things are true cause they believe things are true…) it looks like wiser heads are prevailing. The center of activity on this [...]

never ending site changes…

September 9, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Blogger has gone beta and it allows category tags… So, I’ve migrated the entire site. Of course, the wonderful three column template which I had worked so hard on was useless. But, on the good side, a new template was easy to find and the new Bloggeer beta allows for much quicker coding and changes. [...]
