Boyd Rice - pranks

Another from the Pranks series. This on with Boyd Rice, aka NON.

Boyd has a long history of being a controversial provocateur all the way back to his release of the "Black Album." which he hand drilled 2-4 extra holes into the record for "multi axial rotation". While working exclusively with vinyl, he employed locked grooves that allowed listeners to create their own music.

Carl Sagan

This is from the last part of Cosmos. One of my heroes, but that's a given. I do Sagan a disservice by reducing him to a hero of mine. He represents the humanist that we should all strive to become.

Negativland - Helter Stupid (newscast)

The murder was real, Negativland's influence on it was a prank. They sent out a press release after it happened announcing that the SF police had ordered them to stay in town. This was so they would not have to go on tour, which their label STT at the time was putting alot of pressure on them to do. Negativland are one of the more interesting segments of music history. Along with this I have posted my own interview with Mark Hosler of same band on the Fire {breathing} Podcast. Enjoy.

Convincing Ghost Footage



View this clip, think about it, form a hypothesis, and then see if you are smarter than all of the "experts." Hint A) You probably are. Hint B) None of them get it right.



Figure it out yet? This is a simple one, but it just goes to show that the solution is sometimes far more simple than he problem. If you are still convinced that you have witnessed a genuine apparition, first of all, I'm sorry, second please observe the movements of a common house spider and watch the clip again.
