Rumor has it the gents world Health Organization make up Revolting Cocks came upon the constitute by their usual debauchery. Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen was out for a hard night of drunkenness with some friends, so hard that the bartender threw them proscribed, declaring them a gang of foul cocks. The name was starting time applied to one of Jourgensen's many side projects in 1985, when he partnered with Luc Van Acker and Front 242's Richard 23 to bring fine art and the dancefloor finisher together. As recordings progressed, things went in a different direction and the disorderly, snide, and squalid sounds that were pickings all over had Richard 23 fashioning an issue over originative differences. He departed in 1986, right as the band's debut, Prominent Sexy Land, was being released by the seminal industrial mark Wax Trax! The album featured the Blade Runner margaret Court and club hit "Attack Ships on Fire," spell the nontextual matter introduced "the Three Guys," anonymous faces from an old photograph that would stand for the band on book album covers for years to come. Ministry associates Paul Barker, Chris Connelly, and Bill Rieflin would join Van Acker and Jourgensen for a turn supporting the album, recordings of which surfaced in 1988 on the lively album and video You Goddamned Son of a Bitch.

The nihilistic political party attitude of the band had now officially taken over any grand artistic aspirations, and if the success of 1989's Stainless steel Steel Providers didn't prove their audience was right there with them, college radio and clubs being dominated by 1990's "Beers, Steers + Queers" sure did. Beers, Steers + Queers, the album, followed that same year and included two breed versions of "(Let's Get) Physical," one a childlike loop topology of the parole "physical" that goes on for 13 minutes. The striation notable the album's release by touring the res publica with the Skatenigs -- whose vocaliser, Phil Owen, had contributed to Beers -- and the always-vile Mentors as support. Linger Ficken' Good... from 1993 was a more muted album, merely it was still lurid that the Warner Bros.-associated Sire released the album and helped the band score another cabaret hit with their cover of Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

Age passed and it seemed the Revco were officially over until 2004, when the cut "Rationalize Tang" appeared on the Internet, announcing the coming of their next album, Purple Head. The Ryko label reissued the band's number one iI albums that class with incentive tracks, merely the new album failed to appear. A year later on, a cover variation of Bauhaus' "Dark Entries" with Butthole Surfer Gibby Haynes as vocaliser appeared on the Adage II soundtrack. Haynes joined Jello Biafra, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander, DavÃd Garza, and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, along with veterans Jourgensen and Owen (at present known as Phildo Owen) for 2006's Cocked and Loaded. The album appeared on Jourgensen's 13th Planet label and was the number one Revco release to non feature "the Three Guys" on the cover.

Forehead bruised, Colbert fights `face violence'

NEW YORK —

With a bruised forehead, Stephen Colbert has found a new cause celebre: fighting the glamorization of "face violence."

As he did after breaking his wrist last year, Colbert has transformed a real-life injury into a mock crusade. Colbert was injured Saturday, and while he's been cagey about the cause, he's made no attempt to hide the scarring between his eyebrows this week on "The Colbert Report."

In extreme close-up Monday, he detailed the wreckage: "What the hell is going on right here? What the hell did I do to myself on Saturday? I've got stitches up there and it looks like I'm growing a little map of Norway down the side of my face."

Colbert has declined to say how the injury happened. (His publicist and Comedy Central also declined to comment.) Instead, he has said what's important is his new responsibility to fight "face violence" in Hollywood films.

Last June, Colbert broke his wrist while running around his set before the taping of a show. The comedian went on to wage a months-long fight for "wrist awareness" and widely circulated "WristStrong" bracelets for the cause. (Proceeds for the $1 bracelets have gone to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a charity that assists injured service members and their families.)

This week, Colbert has joked that after the wrist injury, he pledged he would never break a fall with his hands.

Tuesday's guest, Will Smith, had a theory: "I think I know what happened to your face, `cause I can tell. Somebody kicked your ass, didn't they?"

Colbert has claimed it could have happened by smashing watermelons with his head or by "practicing for a walk-on role in Cirque du Soleil and overestimating the number of French Canadians my forehead would support."

Leoncie, Iceland’s Madonna, Makes Own Dirty Videos

Icelandic artist Leoncie has drawn comparisons to Madonna for her overt sexuality, fast-changing hairstyles, and prolific music-video output. She writes and performs all her own music and directs the rather cheesy videos, too—courting controversy with some of them (they were pulled from YouTube) because she showed her boobs. We particularly recommend the surreal “Invisible Girl,” in which she flies on a magic carpet, and “Sex Crazy Cop,” with the catchy refrain: “Ooooh, cheap sex.”

Ping Pong Playa - movie review

Movie fans of a certain age -- about 30 to 45 -- have fond memories of a few 1980s
HBO mainstays that seemed tailor made for TV. Eddie and the Cruisers, Just One of the Guys,
Super Fuzz… charming, silly nuggets that aired endlessly, perfect for our hanging-in-the-basement
brains. Whether they were overly earnest or just dumb, they seemed out of place on
the big screen. Jessica Yu's Ping Pong Playa feels like it could easily take its place
within that pantheon. It could be a big, watchable cable TV star, especially if you're
12 years old.

Independent Film Festival of Boston organizers said this was probably the most family-friendly
selection in their six-year history, and they're right. It's a culturally aware comedy
that's always light instead of challenging, aiming most laughs at the pre-teen set.
To put it bluntly, Ping Pong Playa is as goofy as its title.

At its center is Christopher Wang (co-writer Jimmy Tsai), the self-proclaimed "C-Dub."
He's the hoops-loving underachiever of his Chinese-American family, a clan with a
firm hold on the local ping pong monopoly. His brother (a physician, of course) is
a table tennis master, winning tournaments and bringing popularity to him mom's ping
pong class and dad's sporting goods store. Chris isn't interested. He smacks streetwise
constantly, plays schoolyard basketball with little kids, and mocks everything from
his brother's accomplishments to Chinese traditions.

But Yu and Tsai have no intentions of digging beneath the surface of identity issues
and family obligation. There's the opportunity -- even at a kid's level -- but nearly
everything has an aw-shucks, smiley sheen to it. A ridiculous fender bender causes
Chris to fill in for his injured mom and brother, training a ragtag bunch of kids
and competing in a big tournament called The Golden Cock. Huh?

Despite Tsai's best hammy efforts, Yu presents the ping pong workout sessions as
a series of clumsy music montages. There just doesn't seem to be enough script content
for anything tangible beyond that. But there is a likable energy and a few cute kids,
especially little Andrew Vo as Felix, who Chris nicknames "F-Bomb." (I love that one.)

Diminutive Felix is actually the only F-bomb in the movie. Somewhere along the way,
Yu must have decided to clean up Ping Pong Playa for a young audience because every bit
of profanity is covered by the sound effect of a basketball bouncing. Was this part
of the plan all along, or did Yu and producers realize they had a kids movie on their
hands after the fact?

Yu, an athlete herself -- a U.S. fencing team member in the '80s -- has directed
a couple of dramatic documentaries and helmed TV shows like The West Wing and Grey's
Anatomy. She doesn't have any real experience in broader humor, and Ping Pong Playa is proof.
But, in a few years, this one will end up on HBO or Cinemax next to Slappy and the
Stinkers, with throngs of pre-teens watching it over and over, giggling at Tsai's "what up
dawg?" dialogue. Hey, they may even get interested in ping pong.

Supersuckers

Artist: Supersuckers

   Genre(s):
Rock: Punk-Rock

Discography:

Motherfuckers Be Trippin'

Year:
Tracks: 12

Something of an anomaly on the Sub Pop roll, the Supersuckers caliber a limited control surface resemblance to filth, merely they were a party band at kernel, donning rodeo rider hats and kicking out a gleefully rubbishy blade of strangling, rockabilly-flavored garage punk rocker. Their lyrics were a raucous, sinful solemnisation of all the co-occurrence evils of rock 'n' roll & roll -- sexual practice, john Barleycorn, drugs, Satan, and whatsoever other vices the band could think of, all glorified with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Save for an abrupt and impermanent detour into hard-core honky tonk, their approach stayed relatively uniform through and through the '90s, as did their quality control.

The Supersuckers were formed in Tucson, AZ, in 1988 by high friends Eddie Spaghetti (innate Edward Carlyle Daly III, bass part, vocals), Ron Heathman (guitar), Dan "Roar" Bolton (guitar), Dancing Eagle (innate Dan Seigal, drums), and Eric Martin (lead vocals). After performing the local vista for about a year under the nominate the Black Supersuckers (taken from a pornographic novel), the band affected to Seattle, on the face of it in search of a climate more conducive to leather jackets. Martin left hand the band not long afterward, and Eddie Spaghetti took his station on tether vocals. Shortening their make to the Supersuckers, the striation recorded singles for several indie labels, including discharge, Sympathy for the Record Industry, and Lucky; these were self-possessed on the empty compilation The Songs All Sound the Same, which became the band's low CD loss in 1992. That year, they signed to Sub Pop and issued their proper debut album, The Smoke of Hell, which was produced by Jack Endino and featured cover artistry by far-famed comic creative person Daniel Clowes. Featuring one of the band's best-known songs in "Coattail Rider," the platter as well spun off the single "Snake pit City, Hell," whose B-side was a fan-favorite cover of Ice Cube's "Deadened Homiez."

The Supersuckers came into their possess with their second base album, 1994's La Mano Cornuda, whose title translates as "the horned bridge player" (i.e., of Satan). It featured signature tune songs like "Creepy Jackalope Eye" and "She's My Bitch," and is still regarded by many fans as the band's c. H. Best. Following its loss, Ron Heathman temporarily left the group due to dose problems, and was replaced by one-time Didjits guitar player Rick Sims on their succeeding album, 1995's The Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers. Produced by the Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary, the album was noticeably different from the Supersuckers' usual pedal-to-the-metal yawl, owing to Heathman's absence, scorn some worthy additions to the group's catalogue (like "Innate With a Tail"). Fortunately, Heathman made a full recovery and rejoined the band for 1997's Must've Been High, a fully fledged excursion into land music that even featured a edgar Albert Guest appearance by Willie Nelson. It was released at the same time with a five-song EP that featured land maverick Steve Earle fronting the striation.

After issuing their nation project, the Supersuckers sign-language a major-label deal with Interscope. Unfortunately, in the fire up of the monolithic label mergers at the time, Interscope underwent a restructuring and combat injury up dropping the band without ever releasing the straight-ahead rock & roll out album they had recorded. Strongly disenchanted by the have, the Supersuckers landed on the little Twenty14.com judge and in conclusion recorded the proper followup to Sacrilicious, recycling some of the material from their doomed Interscope debut. The result, The Evil Powers of Rock 'n' Roll, was released in late 1999, and featured the band's lovesome look back on their senior high school days in Tucson, "Santa Rita High." The same twelvemonth, Sub Pop issued a generous 27-track retrospective of the Supersuckers' stay on the label, How the Supersuckers Became the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World. After contributive iI songs (including a collaboration with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder) to the benefit record album Dislodge the West Memphis 3 in 2000, the grouping cut a split LP with Electric Frankenstein in 2001.

Burnt by Interscope and seeking a lasting home, the Supersuckers formed their possess pronounce, Mid Fi, in 2002, and inaugurated it with a live document of their nation phase, Must've Been Live. A unexampled, hard-rocking studio album, Motherfuckers Be Trippin', followed in 2003; later on its release, longtime drummer Dan Seigal left the grouping and was replaced by Mike Musburger. While tinkering with a unexampled studio album, the Supersuckers kept the Mid Fi release schedule full with a twin of archival unrecorded albums and a solicitation of singles sides and non-album material, Devil's Food. The Paid EP and Live at Bart's CD Cellar and Record Shop followed in 2006.
