American History X (cont'd) ..	We're losing our right to pursue our destiny, we're losing our freedom, so that a bunch of fucking foreigners can come in here and exploit our country. And this isn't something that's going on far away, it's happening right here."

American History X (cont'd) ..	I don't buy that for a minute. Calling a riot a rational expression of rage, that's such a cop-out. It's opportunism at its worst, it's a bunch of people grabbing any excuse they can find to go loot a store, nothing more."

Network (cont'd) ..	.."Because you people, and 62 million other Americans are listening to me right now. Because less than 3% of you people read books. Because less than 15% of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube."
Network (cont'd) ..	Right now there is a whole, an entire generation that didn't know anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break Presidents, Popes, Prime Ministers.
Network (cont'd) ..	This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world. And woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people."
Network (cont'd) ..	... "And when the 12th largest corporation controls the most awseome goddamn propaganda force in the whole goldess world who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network.
Network (cont'd) ..	So, you listen to me. Listen to me!
Network (cont'd) ..	Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a travelling troop of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers and football players."
Network (cont'd) ..	. "So turn off your television sets, turn them off now. Turn them off right now. Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right in the middle of this sentence I am speaking to you now. Turn them off!"
DJ Spooky ..	The Pledge to Resist ..
Lost in America ..	Albert Brooks believes he's in a meeting to promote him to Senior Vice President, only to learn he's being given a new assignment/campaign in New York. His resultant tirade gets him fired and thrown out of the office by security.

Lost in America (cont'd) ..	..."No, no you couldn't, I'm Senior Vice President." "No, Phil Shabano is Senior Vice President."
Lost in America (cont'd) ..	.."Oh, well, that explains it, then: So by being extra clever and by being here longer I get shifted to another account, and Phil, because of his low intelligence and short time with the company gets this job I've been waiting my whole life for!"
Lost in America (cont'd) ..	..."After all these years I get a transfer! I can get that on us bus right now, I don't need any qualifications!"
Lost in America (cont'd) ..	. "Don't have lunch with this man! Be very careful, he'll want to take you to lunch, don't do it! He'll tell you all about the future, how good the future's going to be here. I've seen the future! It's a bald-headed man from New York!"
Contortions ..	Dish it Out ..

Comment:

"Art of the Mixed Results."

This is volume VI: RANT. It's actually a two-hour format so I had to cut it in half.

Mostly inspired by 'Network,''American History X' and 'Lost in America,' with multiple samples of the opening bars of 'Unsung' off Ministry's 2003 'Animositisomina.' Not the best cut on the album but the opening bars, particularly the 2nd 16, still inform my internal soundtrack.

For each cassette I included bold-lettered warnings: "Adult Material/Objectionable Language, Views," with proper reason.

For those who've seen and remember 'Network' this might be a little boring. For those who haven't seen 'Network,' rent it, upload it, buy it and see it. Paddy Chayevsky is masterful.
