Morning, afternoon, evening - wherever you happen to be when this latest dawdle through the world’s more recent error messages reaches you readers , in the best of health I hope for all. Of course you can bank on the subject matter pertaining to recent events in Tunisia and Egypt (doesn’t everything??) I should be sleeping, watching Planet of the Apes on the laptop, or exploring Barcelona’s Fira district about now, but have decided against it for the excuses that follow, and yes, in that order. Air France have robbed me of my shuteye capabilities via 2 different highly compressed tin cans with wings - nobody should have entrusted Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and that geezer from Nu Kids on the Block with a task of such institutional magnitude. And talking of other magnanimousness, the view from my window of 21st century Catalunya reminds me all too deeply of the unwillingness to be dwarfed and impotized by such architecture, but to embrace it as one would devour the skyline of a Shanghai or Dubai sunset. Add in the absence of cars, bikes or Oxelo kickscooters (for those who don’t know, I swear by them for getting around town), and to top it all off, SOD IT I’M INSPIRED!!!!


First off, Iain Banks, if you are reading this, GET IN TOUCH NOW !!!! You can STOP being like any other author and hiding behind your publishing companies being oh so mysterious, only Gibson gets away with that. The internet is coming for the likes of you, and then, like the rest of us creative media types that have suddenly been done out of a living due to the omnipresence of the world wide web (more on this later) you’ll need all the friends you can get, whatever the social network….

Irony, Irony, the sweet fu*king IRONY! I’ve probably said it before and I will say it again just in case it hasn’t sunk in yet, IRONY IS YOUR FRIEND AND NEIGHBOUR!!! It really seems to be not only what I believe in, but also hanging out on a golf course with its best friend FATE these days (Barca bringing back fleeting memories of Steve Ballasteros and that twat Dickie Davies who repeatedly and without pity or remorse, destroyed the first 10 minutes of my Saturday afternoon right up till when the A-team were on,…sorry) Alright ALRIGHT, I’ll get to the point of all this, as the rest seems pointless for now. ‘Ok Simon why is irony …blah blah blah etc etc’ My other screen is set to BBC World (that’s how good this hotel is- I feel like Hollis Henry from spook country!) and what’s sliding cross dat screen? The revolution in Egypt of course, and all those newly unrepressed peoples dancing in the streets (gotta rethink my dancefloor game plan I reckon, gabber bouzouki with a touch of belly dancer voice anybody?) and how happy they are down in North Africa that yet another president after Tunisia has turned round and gone. Sod this for a laugh, I’m on a Learjet outta here NOW, you want the country so bad, GET ON WITH IT!! I’m off to Berlusconi’s villa for a bit of underage prostitution shenanigans now my principles are shot to fuck and I don’t have a home no more! AWW COME ON….the Catholic Church used to let schoolboys into the clergy, today it’s the OTHER WAY ROUND!!!!

Push Pony (Team LSD) An Enchanted Portal to the Peculiar

The Bizarre and the Beautiful Well if there’s one thing the beginning of 2011 could not be accused of it’s being boring! To date we’ve witnessed the fall of John Galliano, Gaga went goo-goo over ice cream, Charlie Sheen lost the plot, and the world has had to deal with a huge disaster… yes Britney had another come back performance! Fashion, as always is in sync with the current trend of the extreme, and London Fashion Week provided us with one of the most bizarre international fashion weeks we have ever attended. There were Zombies, Corpse Brides, Dalmatians, a real 7ft inflatable model, and there was an entire show made of human hair!! The beautiful are without doubt becoming more bizarre and as the silly season is about to kick in... sit back and enjoy the ride!

Rick Genest Possibly the most talked about man in fashion at the moment and certainly the most tattoed! Rick Genest aka “Zombie Boy” is taking the industry by storm. Discovered on Facebook by Lady Gaga’s stylist Nicola Formichetti, the Montreal born street performer has since walked the Parisian catwalk for Thierry Mugler, grinded with Gaga in her “born this way” video, and is currently filming motion picture 47 Ronin with Universal Pictures and Mr Matrix… Keanu Reeves. And that’s only the beginning. Designers and stylists are said to be fighting to get their hands on the inked up heart throb, so it’s no surprise Nicola Formichetti went to extreme lengths to secure him as his muse. Reportedly Formichetti paid over $20,000 in outstanding police fines that Genest had for sleeping on the streets, in order to issue him a new passport and allow him to attend Paris Fashion Week. Backstage after the show crowds of women surrounded him trying to get their photo taken and he simply smiled and said “I’m super privileged”, then slapped a journalist on the back and sighed “It’s great isn’t it?”

The Waiting Room by 69DB (Team LSD)

In the waiting room,
People’s coming in,
Peoples going out,
My time ain’t come yet,
So I’m just sittin’ here,
Man been getting crowded round here,
And still its getting more and more,
Natural progression i guess,
I’m just sayin’,
Hope....
Yes that’s all we got,
Guess I’m lucky I got a guitar,
Helpin’ me from hitting the bar,
Anyway whilst we’re here,
so many driven to beer,
Oh I guess you could go chasin’ the money,
But something tells me I done that one before,
But how do I know that?
There’s something familiar in this place,
Or is it the human race?
So easy to turn in circles,
Treading water,
Well....
For some time anyway,
Still don’t dismay there’s a good bit coming up,
Patience is the key,
Tolerance the door,
Life’s not fair if you want a good excuse,
But something tells me I’ve been through that one before,
And what’s more,
It wasn’t as good as they make it out to be,,
Wanna be free?
R.E.S.P.E.C.T !
I ain’t wasting time,
put another dime in the juke box baby,
And maybe,
you’ll fill the floor,
But not sure everyone’s gonna get it,
No worries,
We’ll have a pirate party,
Let the others do their thing,
Lost with Golemn’s ring,
On the way to Mordor,
Or at least that’s one door,
But I’m pitching for a better thing,
However, it’s probably not what you’re looking for,
Well maybe it is but...
It just feels lonely these days,
In this western daze,
Seems like we’re phased,
just check televisions din,
While the advertisers grin,
And the majority of people are getting thin,
Funny place this waiting room.

I Know You Got Soul: Graffiti as Therapy

The four pillars of B-boy culture are increasingly being recognised and adopted by the wider culture. The art of the DJ has permeated popular musical forms, while breakdance now shares the stage at cultural venues such as Sadler’s Wells and the Barbican with other dance forms such as ballet. Hip-hop lyrics are studied on English courses alongside Shakespeare and Byron. As for graffiti, well, for forward-thinking councils, it is recognised as the solution to urban problems, rather than a sign of urban decay that needs stamping out at the roots. 

 Graffiti as Therapy

Graffiti artists such as Chor Boogie have long advocated the redemptive qualities of the spray can. Chor is an accomplished international muralist whose art combines knowledge of street culture with an understanding of colour therapy. Chor's unique talent for meaningful expression has been shown throughout the world, including in China, where he was recently commissioned to do a mural for the Olympics.

Chor speaks passionately of the power of graffiti to lift the soul through the uplifting effect of colour in an otherwise grey world. He describes colours as a necessity – like air and water – and argues that, if we are surrounded by them on a daily basis and believe in them, colours have the potential to heal the heart, mind, body and soul.

Chor recently commented: “My artwork, creative sense and talent are my spirituality to recovery. My belief behind my work is my spirituality which is the strength, patience, tolerance, abundance, peace, genuine spiritual love; gratitude is attitude, honesty, willingness, humbleness, health, wealth, wisdom, knowledge, trust, truth, faith, acceptance, adjustments, intentions, enthusiasm, and faith.”

Brighton-ing up Your Life

The redemptive power of colour and graffiti is understood not just by Chor but also by forward-thinking UK towns and cities. During the recent Brighton Festival, local street artists organised guided tours round the city’s world-class graffiti murals. The council has set aside walls and worked in conjunction with street artists to beautify areas around the town. Among the sites visited were the sublime murals that range from tributes to Run DMC and James Brown to the recently commissioned homage to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese freedom fighter who was recently released from detention. The work on display is recognised by the council for what it is: heroic depictions that can brighten an otherwise drab environment. Go check it out – Brighton walls will lift the saddest of hearts.

Rewarding Graffiti

Through the careful application of colour, graffiti artists have the power to redeem otherwise monochrome environments: the spray can has shown it can save rather than destroy. With increasing recognition of the value of street art, it cannot be long before we see a St Georges Cross awarded for services rendered, as opposed to critical opprobrium for those who dare to spray what they feel.

Good Times @ Notting Hill Carnival Canceled 2011

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM FRIEND OF LSD MAG
NORMAN JAY

It is with real sadness and profound regret that I am left with no alternative but to officially announce today that GOOD TIMES sound system are unable to participate in this year’s Notting Hill carnival festivities due to a myriad of extenuating circumstances, some of which were simply beyond our control. After endless meetings, countless late night brainstorming sessions and many sleepless nights, we concluded it just wasn’t possible for us this year to present a show worthy of your high expectations of us.

 

So after more than 3 decades of deejaying at the Notting Hill carnival (20 of those at our current location on the corner of West Row and Southern Row) entertaining generations of our fans, the realisation that we cannot be there on August 28th and 29th has been a particularly devastating one for us all to come to terms with. Saying that, on a more positive note, we feel that a one year sabbatical away from carnival and all that it entails will prove to be of real benefit to all concerned in the long run, giving us all a bit of time and space to evaluate what it really means to be part of the greatest street festival in Europe. A precedent has already been set with regard to established UK festivals taking a gap year with even the ‘mother’ of all UK festivals, GLASTONBURY officially announcing a one year break in 2012. Good Times will not be hosting an official after party either this year.

I must stress at this point that the world famous Notting Hill Carnival NEEDS to be supported and needs your continued support. Although it remains the UK’s largest FREE cultural event, Notting Hill carnival continues to offer the visitor unrivalled cultural and musical experiences throughout the weekend which still NEEDS to be supported and needs your support. And even though our GOOD TIMES sound system is unable to be there this year, I implore you dedicated music and party loving fans to still come along on August bank holiday weekend and enjoy more than just the sight and sounds of the iconic red double decker bus.

 
All that remains to be said is that GOOD TIMES would like to sincerely thank you for over 30 unbelievable years of continuous partisan support, not only of our original sound system but of our music events and brand too.

Therefore we very much look forward to seeing you massed around West Row and Southern Row in 2012. So all is not as bad as it at first seems. We will be back!

Phil Maxwell ~ A Retrospective (Photographic Journey 1970s - Today)

Mercadito Productions presents
Phil Maxwell
Forty Years On - A Retrospective
30th September - 30th November 2011
PHOTOMONTH EAST LONDON launch at
Bishopsgate Institute
29th Sept 6-9pm (invitation only)

Bishopsgate Institute Library / Rough Trade East London
 FREE ENTRY TO BOTH VENUES  

“As a visual artist photography facilitates my exploration and interpretation of
class, culture, human relationships and society… I try to capture and
celebrate the reality of life as it is for the majority of people… ” Phil Maxwell

Phil Maxwell ~ A Retrospective
Forty Years On: A photographic journey from the 70’s to the present.
Launching PHOTOMONTH EAST LONDON International Photography Festival.

Celebrating 40 years of Phil Maxwell’s work and its archiving for public use by the Bishopsgate Institute, the exhibition takes you on a journey through his youth in Liverpool to his later life in the East End of London. Housed in two venues - the Bishopsgate Institute and Rough Trade – you can walk between the two buildings and experience the vibrancy of the East End first hand.

This is the East End seen through Phil Maxwell’s lens - his backdrop and canvass against which he’s captured sketches of life, documenting an instant in time and the social conditions and history of his community.

“The area where I live is a kind of microcosm of the world - not only because of the different ethnic groups or the many languages spoken here. You’ve also got the rich and the poor very close together; you’ve got the dynamic between the City and what is the poorest part of the UK. I find this really fascinating. It’s a market which brings together the different and I’ve got this passion for photographing the people: what they are wearing, the way they walk and the way they interact with the environment says a lot about them. It’s like a theatre that resonates the cultures of the planet and I think this makes it even more interesting. “Phil Maxwell

At times subtle, at times explicit, Maxwell’s photographs carry a weight of context confirmed by his awareness of the political and social history of the East End and its people. His enduring images have been exhibited all over Europe and as far away as Bangladesh but here, they are showcased in the community they chronicle. The decision by Bishopsgate Institute to archive his body of work for public use marks the creation of a local legacy which, however, transcends the boundaries of the locality.

“The Bishopsgate Institute is absolutely delighted to be hosting the retrospective of Phil Maxwell’s photographs and to be working on the project to archive and make available Phil’s wonderful archive. His work is a incomparable and seminal resource for understanding the culture and life of the East End of London in the late 20th and early 21st Century.” Stefan Dickers – Chief Librarian Bishopsgate Library

LSD Magazine interviews Activist John Jackson (issue 7)

As the proverbial winds of change sweep afresh through the geopolitical status quo and fan the eternal flames of liberation, John Jackson and Steve Crawshaw have, with a sublime sense of timing published a truly unique book that scythes through the miasmas of the macro and illuminates the core of revolutionary movements. Refreshingly free of anaylsis, commentary and opinion, this seminal book sidesteps the paternalistic and offers up an astonishing array of stories and resonant anecdotes detailing the courage, the symbolism, the raw imagination and the indomitable essence of the human spirit breaking out of the physical and psychological bondage of institutionalised repression. Laden with poignancy, mischief, humor, and profound insight both into the fabric of resistance and the unsung communal heroism of peoples finding their voice despite all the controlling odds, Small Acts of Resistance is revolution from the bottom up.

Can you tell us a little about your campaigning background and some of the projects that you’ve been involved in...

Heading way back in time, my first campaign was Cambodia around 1989. I had studied politics, had a keen interest in international relations and at the time there was no real voice being given to the fact that Cambodia was being represented at the UN by a coalition dominated by the Khmer Rouge. What with no internet reeling off lists of options, I spoke to various campaigners and solidarity groups and on discovering that the issue had no representation, I and a couple of friends set up a small group called Friends of Cambodia which subsequently created a network of 22 affiliated organizations in the UK who all got involved in a letter writing action to the British government. John Pilger’s documentary, Year Zero had just come out and of course The Killing Fields was drawing attention to Cambodia’s plight in cinemas worldwide, so there was a groundswell of public awareness about the genocide, but no specific advocacy – a void we immediately stepped into. During this initial foray, I began learning the skills that I went on to use in the Burma campaign which I founded with another group of people. Also, despite being an atheist, I started working for Christian Aid on the South East Asia desk by day while helping to get the Burma campaign off the ground in my own time.

The first really valuable lesson I learnt was how to raise money for campaign groups, not least because Christian Aid was an agency that directed funding to groups like the ones I was busy setting up. And while many might assume Christian Aid to be a conservative organisation because it is faith based, it was actually one of the most radical aid agencies of the 80’s and 90’s. It housed the South Africa Coalition at the time when Oxfam was brought before the Charity Commission for its activities in South Africa, and its 3 main priorities were frontline Palestine, Cambodia and South Africa. So it was an exciting period and I learned a huge amount over and above the political and development issues. Naturally fund-raising was key, but I also got some training in the framework and logistics of developing campaigns and the techniques required to gain both media publicity and force an issue onto the desks of government departments and parliamentarians. I eventually became head of campaigns at Christian Aid for a short while before going on to direct and help build the Burma Campaign UK.

How much time were you actually spending on the ground in these places and how did the realities differ from your perceptions while working the issues from the UK?

There’s a massive difference. I spent time in Cambodia on assignment for Christian Aid in preparation for its landmines campaign. I travelled to Kompong Thom province in the north of the country where the Khmer Rouge were still pretty active. I saw what was happening there, the trail of destruction, the obstacles to development, lack of funding and the desperate need for an international land mine ban. Part of my job was to bring back stories and images for use in the campaign to ban landmines as well as for raising development money to rehabilitate both the land and the injured, including building alternative livelihoods where necessary. The advocacy I was then working on was very much grounded in the experiences I had just lived and the conversations I had just had. Likewise with Burma where I spent time on the Thai / Burmese border, went across to the liberated zone, met with ethnic leaders and refugees and saw some incredible destruction of villages by the Burmese army near the front line - all of which informed the nature of the work I subsequently did on the campaign.

One thing that stands out there is this idea of bringing back images and stories to help promote – and more importantly, emote the campaign. Was this your first introduction to how powerful individual stories – small acts are when set against a backdrop of statistics. Stalin’s famous quote ‘the death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic’ springs to mind.’ 

Absolutely. Statistics and dry facts are very abstract for people who haven’t been in a particular situation – they just don’t translate very well. Statistics have their place for think tanks, policy makers and potentially for politicians, but for someone going about their daily business in a Western metropolis, the bigger the statistic and the more abstract the facts, the more difficult it is for them to have some sense of what the experiences of people on the other side of the planet are actually like. Even with the massive advances in communications technology and social media, the communications which tend to have the biggest impact, that really ignite people’s imaginations and dig deep into their powers of empathy tend to be human stories. One of the biggest issues with Palestine for instance is that people are simply not aware of the daily lives of Palestinians. They aren’t aware of an everyday, ongoing, economically suffocating and brutal occupation. What they do finally see is the reaction to an occupation without seeing the occupation itself. Without context the chronology of events and process is shown in reverse, the victim becomes the perpetrator.

Banksy v Highways Agency

The Highways Agency has publicly stated that they have no plans on reinstating a sign designed by local lad Banksy. It was said the sign was 'torn down by police' who were a tad disjointed by the local's remarks. The sign said: "Welcome to the West Country, please don't laugh at our accent" A spokesperson for The Highways Agency, Turpin said "Don't take the mick out of our accent is not one of our key messages," Turpin also stated he was pretty dam "sure they didn't realise" when the sign was removed in a robust manner by law enforcement. Which begs the question on whether they would've having known it was their boy Banksy. Though in all honesty it isnt the smartest place for photographers to stop and snap the sign...
