hmm..an exellent simulation then:slanted:

Well to be fair they got him to edit the series so presumably he's chosen stuff he likes, which may be similar to (or influenced by) his own style.

Is Steve Beard in the book or something, he is quite a cool guy.

in the novel there's lists of collective names (karen eliot etc and Steve Beard is amongst them)
have you read/ seen his Perfumed Head from ages ago ..never seen it myself but its meant to be excellent

Kodwo Eshun + Steve Beards book/magazine reviews in ID were a massive part of my
90's..you wouldn't get ANYTHING like that in the style press now!

I got Down and out in Shoreditch and Hoxton for 1p from Amazon new and used (off the back of this thread I think) and I thought it was a bit pants.

HMM..still have my suspicions its"the" Stuart Home..bits like this "Ten years ago I was at a summer arts retreat, the model example of a Temporary Autonomous Zone – and there was a book sale at the Cal Arts Library where I discovered a mysterious red untitled book. According to the book - in the fifties, Berman was involved with the California Occult Cameron and an occult theosophy of rabbinical origins. Again I found myself totally ignorant of this rich, Utopian samizdat tradition right under my nose, and what I found immediately sympathetic was Berman’s juxtapositioning of pornography and enigmatic text. " (Dick Hebdige and rabbinical theosophy in the same intreview, i mean come on..)

that new Semina novel is odd (Rape New York) in that its called a novel.

I read that ages ago and I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw that picture - doesn't Jesus have sex with a camel or something?

Nothing is more tedious and draining than the comments to Stewart Home's blog, I daresay that's the point, but I'm afraid I don't fucking care.

The blog is good though.

I read that ages ago and I'd totally forgotten about it until I saw that picture - doesn't Jesus have sex with a camel or something?

This sounds like it came out of some sort of create-your-own Generically Controversial-cum-Wacky Storyline generator...

Roll a die:

  1. Jesus
  2. Mohammed
  3. The Pope
  4. The current head-of-state/premier of your country
  5. The PotUSA, if different from the above
  6. A popular children's entertainer of your choice

...roll it again...

  1. takes drugs with
  2. gets in a fight with
  3. has penetrative sex with
  4. has oral sex with
  5. is in cahoots with
  6. turns out to be

...and again...

  1. the devil
  2. Elvis
  3. Bill Drummond
  4. a camel
  5. the author
  6. Mother Teresa
