CACOPHONY

Other Cacophony Chapters - There are now 23 Cacophony chapters in the US alone, with several in Canada and many like-minded organizations all over the world. Cacophony.org updates faster than I could ever possibly hope t o.

The kids below, have at least contacted us and so whether or not they like it, we deem them cacophonist. Remember, you may already be a member!

Smark a. Myth. electronica DJ and disturbian.

Saint Mae Victoria, at your service in California

Pandorajune's Car.

Little Fyodor & Babushka.

BURNING MAN STUFF

There are a million burning man pages, so I'm only going to include some of them (mostly ones Denver has had direct contact with).

The Official Burning Man Page - everything you could want to know.

Burning Man Opera
Back in the day there was an Opera the day before the burn. From year 1on the playa until '98/'99 Pepe Ozan has created a wonderful playa and chickenwire sculpture. I believe it was 1993 when He began to get Frou-Frou and create an Opera to accompany the structures. The Opera and Pepe's Sculptures are no longer but the Opera fans still go - this is the evolution of project.

Flashback
apparently sells videos about Burning Man. This site sends a million cookies, but seems nice otherwise.

Pyrot Island
local ner-the-wells and members of the village of disturbia. Recognize the ship? - this site is for nostalgia only.

Coolight
resource for El-Wire. (that neato glowing colored light you saw last year.)

PEOPLE WE LIKE

Seemen Kal et al make an appearance on the playa every year but the troupe also puts on performances year round and around the globe. Fire, machines, audience participation. Just go see.

Denver Cruisers - A weekly summer bike ride through LoDo on Wens nights. Your time to "exercise" and pimp your two wheel ride.

FUSE- an experiment in community building using an on-line discussion board and face to face meetings.

Survival Research Laboratories similar to the Seemen in that they build metal machine monsters and perform with lots of fire. SRL is less intimate and interactive.

RTMark is an amazing troupe. I'm shocked and surprised I hadn't heard of them earlier. RTMark has a lot of ideas (often politically-minded, but not always) for pranks they'd like to see accomplished. These range from easy y things you can do on your own, to extremely complicated acts of subversion. By giving money to RTMark, you can finance some of these complicated pranks by actually helping to give financial assistance and/or motivation to potential pranksters.

The Billboard Liberation Front is a group of fearless outlaws who climb up on billboards and change their messages into something much moredesirable than the usual advertising.

POPAganda is another name for the various projects of Ron English. For many years now, Ron has been liberating billboards around New York City, among other things. Especially worth checking out are the photographs of his billboard creations.

Joey Skaggs is an internationally infamous prankster. For the past thirty years, he has been hoaxing large-scale news media with false news storiesand fake "expert credentials". This man is a legacy.

Illegal Art is a small record label dedicated to pushing the limits of the copyright laws. Subsidized by RTMark.

Universal Life Church where anyone can become a minister, over the internet.

Church of the Subgenius unlike the ULC, the church of the subgenius is a prank. (But if you didn't get that within the 1st few seconds on their site... Have mercy on your soul.)

Dark Passage theater and dinner in the bowels of NY

STUFF WE LIKE

This is a list of cool stuff you can buy or look at and dream of buying. Sites listed here sell anything from toys, bones, stickers and survival gear to fetish wear and books you rarely find sold in local stores.

Unamerican Activities is a couple of awesome guys in SF who put out shirts and stickers and zines and other assorted things all hell-bent on getting you to FUCK WORK. I've been reading a lot of their stuff lately, and the more I read it, the more it makes me want to quit my job and do something cool. Goddamn them. It's going to happen.

Adbusters is a Canadian group dedicated to showing advertising as the propaganda it really is. Creators of Buy Nothing Day, they do produce things you can buy. They have a very well made magazine, and videos of "uncommercials". They're a useful resource for the would-be culture jammer.

Loompanics is an awesome resource for all kinds of interests. They sell books on all topics, from the Principia Discordia to tax evasion and lockpicking.

Essential Media is your discount catalogue of underground literature and music. They sell everything from Annie Sprinkle to the Santa Con '96 video.

Archie McPhee - neat toys and random strange things.

Skullsunlimited.com - what more do you need to know?

American Scientific Surplus - random stuff like Archie McPhee, along with scientific surplus of jars and tubes and other suchlikes.

Vampire Technology is all about custom rubber clothing. The photographs are a little dark, but the products are gorgeous. Note: the prices are about standard for handmade stuff like this. Standard prices for stuff like this is in the heart attack range, though.

INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES & OTHER STUFF TO READ

This list contains sites with good information for the interested, and other stuff worth reading. We can't, of course, list every cool site on the web. But we can list some good ones, with particular emphasis on Cacophinst interests.

Kill Radio - Internet radio out of LA Friends have worked for this no-profit independent. For about 5k, you could have your own radio station toooo!

Blablaradio - talk radio on the internet

Infiltration is a site and a zine dedicated to exploring forbidden places (abandoned buildings, "employees only" machine rooms, tunnels, drains, etc.). Cacophony began with activities like this, and continues annual sewer crawls in San Francisco. "College tunnels are dirty, dangerous and uncomfortably hot. Unfortunately, they're also strictly off-limits." The website has a lot of useful information on it, not just big ads for the zine.

Disinformation bills itself as the "counter-culture search engine". It is a Yahoo-style page of rated links on subjects ranging from UFOs to Mumia Abu Jamal to CNN News. From Prozac to pirate radio, Disinformation has a great list of sites. "Propaganda, revolutionaries, censorship, counterculture, counterintelligence, newspeak."

Rev. Hellshaw's Pearly Gates contains information on UFO religions and Forteanea, as well as writings by the Rev. himself. Interesting.

The Onion satirical newspaper that looks real to your boss.

La Spirale, French discussion board   cuz I love the cheeze eating surrender monkeys. MT met the editor and his significant other when visiting Paris, swell folks.

This is an excellent article written about one of the better-publicized RTMark pranks. Well worth reading.

SILLY/STRANGE STUFF TO LOOK AT

The sites listed below are just neat websites to look at, not resources or people or groups we know or advocate. That being said, enjoy!

The Museum of Bad Art is a little place in the basement of a movie theatre in MA. Saint Mae has made the pilgrimage, and whole-heartedly recommends the place to any visitors to the Boston area. They have some photos online, too.
