Club Review By Matt Taibbi with Jake Rudnitsky and John Heisel I t all started two weeks ago. There is a certain person, whom I will hereafter refer to as a Little Birdie, who often sends the eXile materials and ideas for stories and pranks, without getting any credit for contributing. Two weeks ago on July 26, to be exact the Little Birdie sent me an e-mail containing a story that had appeared in that days edition of the Los Angeles Times. Entitled Taming the Wild, Wild Web, and written by Michael Hiltzik, the article basically argued that the internet was too free for its own good, and needed to have its anarchistic tendencies reigned in, for the good of commerce. The premise of the article was odious enough, but the Little Birdie was particularly upset about a specific quote in the piece. In the e-mail, it was highlighted and placed under the heading, There are too many assholes in this world! It read: The Internet is an important cultural phenomenon, but that doesnt excuse its failure to comply with basic economic laws, said Thomas Nolle, a New Jersey telecommunications consultant. The problem is that it was devised by a bunch of hippie anarchists who didnt have a strong profit motive. But this is a business, not a government-sponsored network.

STRANGECULT AQUARIUS RECORDS (USA) A split cd between Christian Kiefer and Jeff Pitcher's project Above the Orange Trees. Both musicians add to the canon of super sad singer songwriters: Jeff Pitcher's completely heartbroken songs are lushly melodic and quietly epic, bringing to mind Joel Phelps (ex-Silkworm) and Talk Talk; while Christian Kiefer's tracks are even more anguished than Pitcher's (if that's even possible), similar to the stillness of Low, the warm earthiness of Mark Kozelek, and the macabre twang of Songs:Ohia and Will Oldham/Palace. The artists also each contribute a cover of one of the others songs. Depressing in a good way. DUTCH EAST INDIA TRADING (USA) Best known as a weaver of folk music free of its leaves and deadwood as well as his popular release on the Extreme Music label, Kiefer has garnered vocal fans such as composer Terry Riley, former Kronos Quartet cellist Joan Jeanrenaud and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. A rich blend of ambient soundscapes and folk-tinged songs have made Kiefer a smash indie success. A layer of banjo strings and piano wires support the majority of his work on this CD, making an eerie sounds akin to Nick Cave one moment and Neil Young the next. Youve heard of split 7 singles? This is a split CD, with the first six songs by Jeff Pitchers group Above the Orange Trees and the eight that follow by Christian Kiefer. It opens with Pitcher covering Kiefers Erendira; it closes with Kiefer returning the favor with Pitchers Sorry, My Love. In between, Pitchers drawn-out, acoustic guitar-driven post-New Romantic originals are fleshed out with cello, piano, bass and drums, which give them a roughhewn chamber-pop quality not unlike some of John Cales early solo work. Pitchers piano dirge I Am Nowhere segues into Kiefers minimalist Carpenter, and from there he sketches a desolate tableau that evokes finger-picked coffeehouse folk, blues and banjo damage, tumbleweeds blowing across a Sergio Leone standoff and, in the case of Original, the effect of electric-guitar noise on crickets. Its a bifurcated set, but it works.

Extractions: Toho went through this period when nothing made them happier than blowing up the world. Given that the studio is best known to b-movie fans as the home of Godzilla, it's evident that destruction is deeply rooted in their body of work. But Godzilla only destroyed whole cities, not entire worlds. Oh sure, from time to time the sundry monsters of the Toho universe would team up and take out a couple cities, but it was still something less than total and complete obliteration of the planet. Not that forces weren't out there trying. There were plenty of space aliens bent on either conquering or blowing up Earth, but none of them ever succeeded. Their foul plans were always foiled at the last minute by ingenious human heroes. The threats from space weren't just limited to marauding aliens, however. Runaway stars and planets threatened the earth with destruction in both
THE IRANIAN: Film, "Maryam", Ramin Serry Since then, I've seen more Iranian films, some good, some bad. I don't have muchin common with those guys and I'm not really influenced by Iranian films http://www.iranian.com/Arts/2001/March/Maryam/
Extractions: The Iranian Recently I met an amazing young man. His name is Ramin Serry and he is a film director. The American reaction to the hostage crisis after the 1979 revolution affected him so deeply as a teenager that he has now made a movie which I think is amazing. The movie releases in the SF film festival this week and you should see it if you can. It will likely move to the community later and there is a definite buzz on this one folks! Anyhow, what better way to continue on with my series on exciting Iranians doing exciting things! What follows is my interview with Ramin. B-Ramin, what made you even consider this idea in the first place? I mean, why not go to work for the industry? Why not work with Joel and Ethan? R-Part of it's probably because I'm in New York, where there's a lot less temptation to work in Hollywood. But a lot of it has to do with being me being really naive. I remember I'd just gotten my masters from Columbia film school and didn't have much to show for it. I made two short films but they didn't get very much attention. New York was feeling claustrophobic so I decided to take a trip out west to figure out the rest of my life. I drove from Seattle to LA on Highway 1 and 101. Somewhere between Portland and San Francisco, it hit me. In a rented car, driving by a bunch of cows, I realized that I wanted to do a film about Iranians during the hostage crisis. Somehow I just knew it. And when you get an idea that you know is right, it's a great feeling. I remember jumping up and down in the car. The idea of making a film which explored that part of me felt pretty liberating, like some kind of psychological breakthrough. I grew up in the U.S., thinking I was a typical American. But when the revolution happened and the hostages were

Extractions: The Real All-Star Game: Arguing Over Selections Ed Dykhuizen, Staff Writer Well, thankfully, David Bell did not win an All-Star berth. In case you missed it, the mediocre Seattle third baseman was riding a wave of Mariner-mania that pushed four Mariners into starting spots and threatened to nab the journeyman infielder one of the most ridiculous All-Star selections in history. ( Go Here To See Full All-Star Rosters Instead, as often happens (suspiciously enough ?), an 11th-hour comeback quelled the controversy, lofting Cal Ripken into his 19th All-Star game. Ripken doesn't deserve it either, but at least he's got a better reason than getting the benefit of overzealous Japanese voters and the unfair practice of allowing balloting at Kroger department stores (which only exist in the Western states). Ripken is in, of course, because he's a sentimental long-time favorite closing out his career, and no other American League third baseman is doing well enough to oust him. But the bottom line is that he's hitting .229 with a .261 OBP and a .318 SLG, and if that's an All-Star, I'm a Pulitzer Prize winner. Of course, the rebuttal to that is always that "fans want to see him there." I suppose I can comprehend the argument, even if I can't sympathize with it in the least. Cal Ripken has already played in 18 All-Star games, not to mention 2,931 regular season games and three postseason appearances. For the rest of the year he'll be on his farewell tour, undoubtedly getting standing ovations and ceremonies at every park he visits. How many times do you have to see this guy?

How does this reflect the military culture of the time? Why did the white pilot from the University of Wyoming say that white pilots couldn't have made it through the Tuskegee Institute's training program successfully? Why do you think the training there was so rigorous? How did this training benefit the Tuskegee Airmen? Why does he describe the white military instructors as both "good" and as the "opposition?"

Extractions: Part 1 I suppose this title is aptits all-encompassing in any eventfor the first essay here on the Kifaru website on the broad topic of "politics". Some of you have asked me to do thiswrite about the political scene one encounters today as seen through the eyes of a hunter. Perhaps I should tell you that Im also a historian. I never did anything with that degree except live a more fulfilled life so far. And I mean thatI am grateful for having acquainted myself with the foundations of culture. (Mind you, I was educated prior to PC-ness.) I am well aware of the long course of history that has brought us to the present. And so I bring that to bear as buttress to my observations. Call me a hunter/historian. I almost titled this series "Culture Wars". I selected The Good Life for several reasons. In the broadest terms, everybodyeven our political/philosophical adversariesis seeking The Good Life. What is it? Differences about that are at the root of our political conflicts. This is NOT to say that all "opinions" are "equal" or any of that new age poly- science pabulum. Certainly I am not suggesting that our opponents positions are just as valid as ours. Far from itI intend to discuss at length why and how theyve strayed from the path that represents the good life , and why they must be either led lovingly back to it, or resisted forcefully.
