Throbbing Gristle and Derek Jarman
Last night in Los Angeles, Throbbing Gristle performed a live soundtrack accompaniment to Derek Jarman's film In The Shadow of the Sun. Boing Boing Video, Richard Metzger, and friends were at the show. By all accounts, it was a provocative, challenging, and mindbending experience. Watch this space for a full multimedia report soon. Meanwhile, above is "TG: Psychic Rally In Heaven," a short film Jarman made for Throbbing Gristle in 1981. Best viewed at high quality, in a darkened room, with headphones.

i was in the balcony, it was a fantasic show. well worth the drive from Phoenix
Looking forward to the show in Chicago this weekend. (And by the way - either let Metzger keep posting or give the guy his own blog! He's mentioned in every other post (and they're top quality, too!))
Yay - I'm seeing them on Sunday.
and Yay, more Metzger!
Really amazing. Reminds me of Yo La Tengo and the Dir Jean Painlevé's Science is Fiction / The Sounds of Science films.

Coop told me he thinks the Boing Boing drinking game needs to be updated with my name, too, but I told him that players would have to take a bong hit whenever MY name was mentioned...
I've meta-ed the game and take a drink with EVERY post now. So far so good.
Would you settle for popping a vicodin? How about two vicodin?
