Freaked aka. Hideous Mutant Freekz (1993) (86 Minutes! Not that 80 minutes version from the US!)

"What happens when you get a bunch of hipsters too weird for their own good in a room together and ask them to come up with something funny" -Rottentomatoes.com

A forgotten gem with an exclusive "not available on any record" soundtrack by Henry Rollins, the Butthole Surfers and their friends. It's got Mr. T as the bearded lady, Keanu Reeves as Ortiz the Dogboy, Brooke Shields, Dennis Quaid, Morgan Fairchild, an ugly little troll and no Winona Ryder! This was supposed to be sort of a "Rocky Horror" for the Nirvana-kids, but then Alex Winter and the Butthole Surfers got a little carried away. They had to cut out the mutant who could ejaculate the word satan in the snow and a couple of other things. It still turned out pretty radical. Rastafari-eyeball-bodyguards and all that... "Freaked" never came out until someone put it out on dvd a few years ago. I got a personal press-copy from Mr. T himself at the Frankfurt book fair in 1993, but that's a different story and you may ask me after the movie....

"Pescadores de ventanas is a band which plays own songs, ranging from quiet, introspective,to strong rhythmically active pieces which drive people to dance. The music cannot be easily labeled in a determined style.

The name Pescadores de ventanas came after rehearsing in a flat with a view to the street, on the ground floor. When passers-by started to stop and ask what music was that, coming out of the window, came the thought: We're sort of fishing people from the window; that's the band name's meaning in spanish. The band is based in Berlin, Germany."

For Kim and Roisin

Ronald is coming to Wrangel Strasse, he is not welcome. The corporation tells us that the site is conveniently close to local schools. If you see this man do not approach him, he is armed and dangerous.

Aside from the culinary and nutritional danger posed by this individual there is also the question of his destruction of the micro-economics of the neighborhoods in which he establishes his 'restaurants' , the conditions endured by his employees, not to mention his complicity in the distortion of the macro economics of food production and contribution to global warming.

His food is shit. He is interested only in profit. Do you want him as a neighbour?
