Rapport sur les droits de l'homme dans l'armée française 2005-2008

The association ADEFDROMIL (association de défense des droits des militaires) involved in the defense of human rights in the French army has published a reports on the rights in the army and gendarmerie. France does not respect the European legislation in this domain : interdiction to create associations or syndicates, to talk publicly about the work conditions, no limit of work time (some gendarme may work 100 hours a week without being paid more than if they would work 35 hours), moral or sexual harassement, blocage of information and falsification of documents when people try to complain, discrimination, etc. As a result, soldiers and gendarmes are not treated as citizens and have less rights than other people. See about it the article and photos published in the site of information Rue 89 by Jacques Bessy : Entraînement très spécial à la Légion étrangère and Droits de l'homme dans l'armée française : la régression

This 78 pages report is available for 10 € at the address of ADEFDROMIL: 28, rue d’Edimbourg, 75008 - Paris - Tel : 01 42 93 30 52 http://adefdromil.org/

CHELSEA HOTEL MANHATTAN : Joe Ambrose's footage of Chelsea Hotel veteran Herbert Huncke

Joe Ambrose’s footage of Beat saint Herbert Huncke in conversation with Spencer Kansa – I Mostly Travelled on the Road – will be shown for the first time in Sydney later in April.

Says Ambrose: “I met Huncke via Spencer when he was on the road promoting an edition of The Evening Sun Turned Crimson. I filmed him that same night and met up with him subsequently at his 80th birthday party in ..Bruges.., ..Belgium.. and, then again, back in ....London..... He was one of the most exceptional men I’ve met. It’s hardly surprising that he featured as a character in books by his pals like Burroughs’ Naked Lunch and Kerouac’s On the Road. The title I’ve given to the film derives from a comment Huncke made during the conversation. It also provided the tag line for a track featuring Huncke and Chuck Prophet which I produced with Frank Rynne.”

The Sydneyscreening is part of a Huncke night being curated by Jack Sergeant to celebrate the publication of his history of Beat cinema, Naked Lens. The headline film will be Herbert and Louis by Laki Vazakas, which offers the most compelling portrait of this primal talent and is itself a work of cinematic literature. By turns heartbreaking, visionary, and shocking this compelling film is not to be missed.

The movies will be shown at the Mu-Meson Archives at Crn Parramatta Rd & Trafalgar St Annandale, West Sydney on April 23rd. The $10 admission includes supper. Jack’s book will be available to purchase. Ph 9550-1078 for details

Hi Isabelle.
I thought this might interest you. Mick Farren, the former British musician and writer has been living in Los Angeles for some time now. Lately he has been serializing recaptioned pictures of WSB. I thought this was especially interesting.

"Si les récentes initiatives du groupe orientaient déjà Cercueil vers l'éclectisme, les nouvelles compositions embarquent l'auditeur vers de nouveaux horizons : opéra fantomatique à haut plafond, poésie des natures mortes et rage des black divas qui brisent le cristal, lames de fond glacées qui parcourent l'échine, bande-son d'une intrigue dont le groupe suggère les images, plus qu'il ne les montre. Sans dénaturer le propos, Cercueil pratique le Goth'n'roll. Un genre à part qui n'existe pas, allant du disco à Lovecraft en passant par Boards of Canada. Mais les esprits seraient-ils si étriqués, que Cercueil ne rentrerait dans aucune boite? Tout au plus pourrait-on citer Sister Iodine, ou Poni Hoax pour marquer l'envie d'expérimentation appliquée à des chansons à refrains consistants. L'ajout d'un batteur (Olivier Durteste de Gomm) fait ici toute la différence, donnant la pulsation nécessaire à Cercueil pour prendre son envol. Rattacher deux mondes (l'électrique, le digital) en un pôle..." Bester Langs

Puisque toutes les occasions sont bonnes pour célébrer la sortie du nouvel album de Cercueil, "Shoo Straight Shout" (Optical Sound / Season of Mist), dispo depuis le 6 mars 2009, ils débarquent sur la scène parisienne du Point Ephémère le 8 avril, avant d’enflammer celle des Découvertes du prochain Printemps de Bourges et tant d'autres !
A leurs côtés, pour partager l’affiche d’une soirée bien rock’n’electro, The Garçon réveillera les vrais démons des Eighties : nervosité, noirceur, accouplement maudit des machines, du rock'n'roll et du tranchant Post-punk, nous offrant une dance frénétique et glacée, (héritée des racines New Wave et Garage que le groupe manipule depuis ses origines. ). Une rencontre ambigüe entre Kas Product et les Cramps, et un son d'une modernité indiscutable. Quant au Dj Gel Intime aka Eddie Ladoire, musicien et plasticien, fondateur de Ma-Asso à Bordeaux, moitié de la formation Heller avec Sébastien Roux, il nous proposera quelques interludes sonores dont lui seul à le secret pour nous faire vibrer. Il vient de publier son nouvel album chez Optical Sound "Always the behinning" (OS.049)

Whirling Dervish news

- We are so very close to finishing the second EP. It sounds so good. This is the greatest thing any of us have been a part of. Jared Rushton, who produced our first EP, is producing the new EP also. His studio wizardry has made this all possible. Jared, we salute you. We're all so excited. It wasn't easy. I contracted bronchitis requiring urgent care twice during recording. We've experienced overwhelming personal tragedy. We've had a lot of setbacks. But we've persevered. The great thing about being in a band is all of the hardships you experience personally and collectively can be recycled; all of the negative energy can be harnassed into inspiration.

- We've already written enough songs for another EP. We're not sure how we're going to proceed with these yet since the second EP isn't even out, but you will be hearing these new songs at shows too. The new stuff is very bi-polar for lack of a better term. These are some the darkest, creepiest, most forboding songs we've written as well as some of the most happy and upbeat (in a manic, forgot to take my Lithium kinda way).

- There will be many new changes in the coming months. Justin, William and I have been discussing new ideas. Not at liberty to discuss in detail yet, but these changes will be big.

- We have a show at Bordello April 15th. It's us and a burlesque show courtesy of Peepshow Menagerie. I was not the biggest burlesque fan before we played our first burlesque show but Chris Beyond and Peepshow Menagerie really do an amazing job and have kinda made me a fan. Really fun, funny, classy, and sexy:Bordello901 E. 1st St.Los Angeles, CA 90012$10

- Doors open at 9 p.m.- We will be playing lots of shows everywhere in the coming months. We can't wait to see all of you. We miss you fools. Let us know how your doing.

Neil Young: 'Cough Up The Bucks' Video Premiere




'COUGH UP THE BUCKS' VIDEO PREMIERE!
Neil Young has made another video off his album "Fork In The Road"! This time, it's for the song "Cough Up The Bucks," and it's premiering on Myspace right now.

This is the fourth hand-made video from the "Fork In The Road" album. Neil has been quietly making these videos completely on his own, with nothing more than a simple camera and an idea, and more are coming as Neil continues to shoot each day. These revolutionary videos do more with a zero-dollar budget than a $300,000 dollar budget could ever dream of - they're pure, renegade Neil Young at their best.Click here to check it out. And head over to neilyoung.com to pre-order the new album - in stores April 7th!

Master Musicians of Joujouka: U2 's Bono cites Master Musicians of Joujouka as an inspiration for their new CD

In the main interview to promote the launch of U2's new CD No Line on the Horizon, Bono said that they started this musical project in Morocco in 2007 in order to get close to the spirit of the "Joujouka drummers"

Bono speaking to Sean O Hagan in Morocco 2007 from the Observer Music Monthly 15 Feb 2009.

"What's happening down here is beyond reason," Bono had enthused,when the idea of me shadowing them had first been broached. "Spiritsare hovering. We're chasing the Joujouka drummers and differentstructures for pop."
The legendary Joujouka drummers drew both Brian Jones and William Burroughs to Fez in the late 60s, but this time around, other guiding spirits were also at work. Every night, as darkness fell, the haunting voices of devotional Sufi singers wouldrise up and drift across the rooftops, their song-prayers lasting forhours at a time. "There was definitely something in the air downthere," Bono will tell me later. "And we picked up on it."" http://www.guardian.co.uk/..music/2009/feb/15/u2-no-line-..on-the-horizon
The Master Musicians of Joujouka are managed and produced by another Irishman Frank Rynne who has worked with them since he helped bring them to Ireland in 1992 to perform and participate in the Here to Go Show at The Project Art's Centre which was the first exhibition to feature the paintings of William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin. During the art show the master actually played in Harry's bar which was then part of the Clarence Hotel which is owned by U2 and Harry Crosbie who also owns the newly revamped music venue the 02 Point Depot in Dublin.

U2 also had an early association with the Project Art's Centre performing at the influential Dark Space in 1979 along with Virgin Prunes and a host of other small artistic Dublin bands. Their Clarence Hotel is opposite the Project in Dublin's Temple bar district.
