You may heave read about this already, but Alan Moore has a spoken word/music project about to be released through Lex Records called "Unearthing". Featuring Mike Patton, Doseone, members of Mogwai, Steve Moore and more, it's going to come in a seriously deluxe boxed set. You can hear an excerpt from the project over at Pitchfork right now.
More awesomeness featuring Genesis P-Orridge - this time it's an hour long Infinity Factory 3-way interview between Genesis, host Richard Metsger and the MOST awesome Robert Anton WIlson! This guy co-wrote the Illuminatus Trilogy and has a lot of great and interesting things to say (and a great New York drawl in which to say it). They talk a lot about conspiracies, magick and Alastair Crowley.
If you like this kind of thing I heartily recommend checking out some of Richard Matzger's other work, like Disinformation and the Dangerous Minds blog.
is the (wo)man! I have only pretty recently been turned on to the music and work of P-Orridge, but it's fascinating and inspiring. P-Orridge used to front the bands Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, both of whom have played pivotal parts in the British industrial, rave and independant movements. He has been a poet, artist, occultist, exile and agent provocateur. His most recent project was to physically transform himself and his wife into the same person, "The Pandrogyne", through plastic surgery and body modification. Unfortunately his wife Lady Jaye died in 2007 (gutting!) but the project continues anyway.
For more info on the great (wo)man, here's hir wiki entry, and here (s)he is being interviewed by Ian Svenonious on Soft Focus.
A more indepth interview focusing on the early years (and specifically Throbbing Gristle and thier notorious Prostitution show) is below, taken from Disinformation's "Infinity Factory" broadcast. Highly recommended!
2010 will see the release of a biopic on everyone's favourite comic scribe/magician (who isn't Alan Moore) - Grant Morrison. Here's a peek at the trailer:
