Outside The Law, Which is Language

I remember Fiona playing this during a Hard to Read segment in the studio years ago. Especially delightful after that heavy metal harp glissando drop at 2:18. "Outside The Law, Which Is Language" is a nice title too, and reminds me of something Vanessa Place said in this MPR interview: https://radio.montezpress.com/#/show/119

I spend all day looking at such fantastic things 
One interesting image after the next
Each is more interesting than the last 
But if the fun must come to an end
I will simply do it again

BONUS

Listening to a child sound out the words makes you wonder if every manifesto isn't, in some way, written with a child in mind. Some of these kids make it all the way through manifestos I couldn't commit to finishing. Some of these kids are angry because the world isnt the way it should be, or because they'd rather be playing minecraft. Or they are angry because 9 year old boys don't want to read the part in S.C.U.M. manifesto about castration.  Its harrowing, funny, and almost hopeful. And a really great reading list too. 

Part 1. https://radio.montezpress.com/#/show/2092

Tracklist: Pandrogyny Manifesto by Breyer P-Orridge / Wear Sunscreen by Mary Schmidt / Theatre of Cruelty by Antonin Artaud / Auto-Destructive Art by Gustav Metzger / Abolish Restaurants by Prole / Ban the Bomb (Brussels Declaration 1) by Provo / The Cosmic Redistribution Service

Part 2. https://radio.montezpress.com/#/show/2123

Tracklist: Manifesto (Architecture & War) by Lebbeus Woods / A Declaration From the Poor Oppressed People of England by Gerrard Winstanley / 100 Impossible Artworks by Dora García / Blast! by Wyndham Lewis / Dada Manifesto by Francis Picabia / Dada Manifesto by Hugo Balls / Revolution in Dreams

 

More from Stanley Schtinter.  Important Books (or, Manifestos Read by Children) ran from May 2021 to May 2022 at Whitechapel Gallery in London, with a monthly installment on Montez Press Radio

Clueless Agency: Paramour's Portmeirion Hush-Hush Den

Great listen via Prague-based Vojtěch Novák (of PGS collective). Murder mystery but all killer no filler fantasy-mix of music and lit with some hidden gems, especially Mark Leckey's contributions (lightly edited ;0) and a procession of frogs. This all weaves into the larger narrative of Cluless Agency, a series of traveling exhibitions. Dinner theatre but the dishes are icky.
