1/ Mein Gott! Ich habe schon lange, lange nicht mehr bei Facebook vorbeigeschaut, aber heute habe ich es getan und was muss ich sehen? Die Trumpisten gehen gegen antichristliche Umtriebe vor. Mark Hosler von #Negativland teilt mit, dass es das #ChristianityIsStupid-T-Shirt deshalb wieder zu kaufen gibt.

„On Feb. 6, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the creation of a federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias, a thing that doesn’t actually exist in the way that they are framing it. On that same day Russell Vought was made head of the extremely powerful, yet totally bland sounding, Office of Management and Budget.

You may not have heard of him yet, but, as head of the OMB, Russell Vought, along with Stephen Miller, is going to be one of the most dangerous and impactful officials in the US going forward. Vought is a principal author of Project 2025, the head of the extreme right wing Center for Renewing America, the guy behind pushing for the dangerous and undemocratic Schedule F, the guy behind that spending freeze in early 2025, and, on only day three of his tenure, he was already doing stuff that is illegal and extremely damaging.

Russell Vought is an avowed Christian Nationalist who wants our country to be a theocracy no matter the cost, no matter what laws are broken, no matter who it hurts. This isn't conjecture, it's in everything he's been saying and writing about and pushing for years.“

FYI so I wound up watching STAND BY FOR FAILURE, which was a bit much. While I've loved the albums of #Negativland since the 80s, I knew essentially zero about the members of the group, couldn't have even said their names or identified them out of a lineup. Seeing them in the documentary, they struck me as kinda kooky/creepy eccentrics especially David Wills. He scares me, frankly. Glad he's not my neighbor 🤷‍♂️

I'm not entirely sure I'm a huge fan of Negativland, at least in their usual found sound collage mode. I don't have the rest of this album, for instance. But they managed to put together an actual song, rife with soft-drink puns, which also serves as a kind of Pepsi commercial (if only because they couldn't up with a good pun for it?). So yes, it's a novelty song, and I'm here for it.

I just noticed that both of Ryan Worsley’s Negativland documentaries are now on his YouTube.

How Radio Isn’t Done (2017) about Don Joyce, and Stand By for Failure (2022) which focusses more on The Weatherman and the band’s history.

Fans will find a wealth of archival material, handled sensitively and often poignantly.
