I think one of the most interesting things about GP-O and the whole psychic tv thing is how the memes infiltrated mainstream culture - from lots of '23' references sneaking into mainstream cinema, to a lot of the commonly held ideas about dance culture. PTV and the temple of psychic youth (the countercultural youth tribe psychic tv started in the early 80's) seemed to have a lot to do with popularising and innovating the early acid house scene, as mentioned in Modulations. Disinformation has a very cool site at www.disinfo.com which has details on all the artists they screen, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Irene McC [mailto:substar@iafrica.com] MY SWEET HEAVEN !!!! Okay, that's enlightening ;-) I remember seeing Genesis P Orridge in the Modutions movie and then again in a *really* strange programme I sometimes catch by chance on TV but never know when the next installment is due. It's called Disinformation and it had an insert about a pretty 'in your face' performance artist - she had her labial lips sewn shut, etc etc (you get the general drift...) and Genesis P Orridge was somehow connected to her events or something... can't remember all the details, but he certainly is one interesting and unusual human being!

If you're in the UK, this month's Musik magazine has an Andy Weatherall interview with TG which includes a photo shoot of the band.

Count me in as to also wondering what this guy has been up to --- I have met him a few times, and he's a charming, albiet unusual fellow :) One of the last times I saw him, he was performing at a place called 'Bar' in the meat packing district in NYC, at a night called "Jackie 60", a wonderful mix of performance art, poerty and burlesque. He has a ton of releases which can be tracked down,ande was a major influence on the Acid House movement .... his wife did that 'Je l'teme' (god know I meessed that up, but I blew out my left knee dancing to Marco Carolla in Philly last night and am in pain, so please forgive me) Linda ------------ Linda Leigh/L3 www.technotica.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Yes ::: can you please further explain the '23' connection? I remember in that same Disinformation programme, seeing a brief flash of a cover of a comic book (I think?) titled "23 Things Fall Apart" - which, of course, is the title of the Digitonal release. Aaah! the plot thickens. But what does it all *mean* ??

Isn't it from Robert Anton Wilson and "The Illuminatus! Trilogy" [also responsible for the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu and a lot of the KLF mythology]. The 23 thing is about 23 being the most commonly occurring number and some maths and numerology hocus pocus [ like http://afgen.com/num23.html ]... Of course this can be countered by the idea that once you look for a pattern your start seeing it. Kind of like Sir Francis Galton and his attempt at being paranoid...

I can vouce for Mr. Edward Flis (also know Duran Duran Duran) to be the finest of performers and music creators. His witty, urbane dinner conversatiocan't be beat and his swave dance movies serve as inspiration for many. He's great- you should come out and see him rock shit.
