Chris Korda "I Like To Watch"

Is this the most offensive song in the history of everything? Watch the vid and judge for yourself. There is no way in hell I am gonna post the original video (still below), which is like this one, but intercut with about 50 odd cum shots and lots of jocky American sport action. But hey, if that tickles your fancy, you can find it here.



This has shades of Chris Morris' extreme satyrical genius, and also a Ballardian sense of depersonalising an horrific incident through sexualisation of the subject matter. And it has teh megalolz (listen out for nostril spurting guffaw moments at c.1:20 and 2:40). This is almost ten years old now, but still retains its power.

Chris Korda is the transvestite leader of the cult The Church of Euthanasia, the four main pillars of which are Suicide, Abortion, Cannibalism and Sodomy (or any non-procreative sex). Signed to International Deejay Gigolo in the late 90's, s/he's a respected producer, though I'd never heard of this tune til a few days ago. Like a much more extreme version of the Church of Subgenius, CoE seems even more relevant today than it did in the 90s. Please come back and shock us some more Chris!

Voguing / Paris Is Burning

Voguing is awesome - people should do it more! Hipsters should love it cos it's the perfect mixture of dancing and fashion posing. Dancers should love it cos it's like a strange mixture of ballet and uprocking. And the competitive element should keep the crowds happy. "Instead of fighting you take it out on the dancefloor."



Thankfully, the artform is alive and well - mostly of course in the black gay clubs of the States, though the music has changed form disco and house to more booty and ghetto sounds. If you click on "Watch on Youtube" for this clip you will see that there's hundreds of similar videos linked in the various sidebars. The audio's not great though.



The history of the dance is fascinating - originating as it does from drag queen walk offs in the way underground NY clubs of the 70's. The documentary PARIS IS BURNING is fantastic - as well as being the document of the dance and clubbing movement it offers valuable sociological insight into a world very far removed from the mainstream. The whole thing is on Youtube. Here is part one, with the other parts linked below. If you have any interest in dance/club culture, black history, gay history or hell even just people in general, this film is godamn essential viewing.
