“Crowd Porn 2″ by xtrapop (from the “Coachella Porn - Dante’s Orgy” series)

The idea that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers could inspire anything but catalepsy in an audience is beyond both my belief and understanding but, sometimes, it takes a photograph to show you what is in front of your eyes.
For me, this beautiful photo series of crowd scenes at Coachella, by Flickr member xtrapop (a.k.a. Thomas Brodahl), immediately brings to mind the listless rutting depicted in the orgy scene of the movie “Perfume” rather than Dante’s diabolical torments.

Those nice people at Condomania now have a blog dedicated to their growing range of artist-designed condoms and related stuff. They also took me totally by surprise recently by commenting on this blog!

“We recently got the bright idea to gather together a bunch of working artists and ask them to design packaging for condoms which will both interest and excite our customers. This website is our attempt to document that process while also pointing out where others in the condom industry are doing things right, and where they are doing things wrong from our perspective.”

Trevor Brown ‘Rubber Doll’ condoms

I’ve always been a big fan of condoms, regardless of necessity, so the launch of a new range bearing the “Rubber Doll” design of one of my all time favourite artists, Trevor Brown, is a cause for, erm, celebration.

I want to believe it

There are two things I like about “Blowjobs on Flickr, Haiku style”:

  • The titles of the posts make me feel as if melancholia is surging unhindered through my bloodstream with absolutely no possibility of me preventing it overwhelming my brain.
  • The “haikus” achieve a level of honesty and brutality sadly lacking in what currently passes for pornography.

That’s enough. The pictures are window dressing.

I let them do this to me

“Did you know there’s a girls’ school with 400 girls just round the corner? Very nice, I’ll tell you, it really is lovely. I mean they’re so beautiful those little girls are. My conscience won’t let me tamper - feel I might damage their lives if I do anything.”

A short, but unusual, 1974 interview with Brian Eno. Conducted by then journalist Chrissie Hynde.

I have absolutely no idea who or what a “Lindsay Lohan” is (and no interest in finding out) but this recent quote from her brought a ray of sunshine into my life:

“So . . . 3 hours of pole dancing and bruised. everywhere . . . I mean we’re talkin’ like, UPPER AND INNER THIGH ACTION-bruised . . . like a walking black-and-blue mark.

“I mean really though, really, I didn’t know it was actually possible to have bruises in such areas of the body. Strippers dude, I tell you, I really respect the cunts now“.
