[whileurmine]

i present to you the former crushes of mom's all around the world, the writers of songs men in their midlife crisis still play to this day when they need to relieve their rebellious youth: the members of flight of kings. the rock band to achieve international success and write a bunch of hits in the late 80s and early 90s .

jason frederick knox. 49. former main singer. turned into movie star. has been doing action movies for the last 15 years. too often in the news for dating a someone in their 20s. doesn't think through the sentence, probably just talking bc he likes the sound of his own voice too much. has never had a serious relationship in his life. no, no, trust him, if you just keep doing things nonstop all the time without thinking, you will never have to feel anything but excitement. this is healthy actually. trying to go through life without learning that actions have consequences.

leonardo giuseppe d`antoni. 49. former main guitarist. thinks his middle name makes him sound like an old man, would love to not be reminded of the fact that he is in fact an old man now. after the band broke up, he became a music producer, got married, and started living a mostly normal life outside the public eye. hates ordinary life so much he thinks it is slowly driving him insane. every time he parks his car he thinks about how he would love to spray paint the suburbs, go around kicking trash cans and destroying mailbox like he would have 20 years ago. thinks of himself as very sexy and cute actually. trying to pretend he wouldn't blow up his entire life from the ground up for a little fun.

matthew benjamin rosenfeld. 47. former band drummer. still plays the drums for random bands who needs someone to fill in for an album or for a concert or too. mostly small indie bands. still upset his friends broke up the band more than 15 years later. full of anger and rage and unresolved trauma. no, he doesn't need therapy, why would you say that? became a high music teacher (totally bc of something pretty like making kids love music like he does and not bc of something unresolved like his former band got together when they were in high school). the type that students think i cool simply bc he has too many tattoos. too willing to throw punches. sometimes forgets he was famous once. stumbles his way through a sentence way too often.

francisco 'paco' carillo. 47. former band bassist. the kind of person who loves music so much it seems like there isn't an instrument in this world he can't play. started a solo music career after the band broke up. the type of famous singer that is so well known for being a famous singer that people forget sometimes he was in a famous band once. nowadays a singer songwriter and guitarist. plays more of folk rock sound nowadays, more emotional than angry. cries v easily. will pour his heart out without being requested. would rather die than hurt someone.

20 - Rockin' in Rio

Greetings one and all A quick return from the Bondi Bard. Last weekend there was a surprise party for Gerry and Sylvia in San Francisco, and judging from the email I got from Ratty a good time was had by all, and a few of our old mob were there. I would loved to have been there but I was committed to go to the wedding of a good buddy of mine. James and his new wife Suze got married on the original Manly ferry, which has been converted into an amazing houseboat and is moored at Balmain. The ceremony was at 7pm, just as the sun was setting to the left of us, and the Harbour Bridge to the right, very picturesque. An Aussie band called Leonardo's Bride sang their top five hit to the couple (of course I can't remember the name of it) and the girl singer has an incredible voice, and is also gorgeous and a very charming lady, who is shacked up with a DJ mate of mine. Lucky bastard. The booze was good, the food even better and a fun night was had. I can hear that question again, "Whats this got to do with Queen?" Well I shall tell you. James worked as an engineer at Metropolis Studios in London, along with the lovely Heidi, where the Queenies did a lot of recording, he also did some work with the band, but did a lot on BM's first solo outing. The next link is even weaker. I spent a good part of the evening chatting with Rob Hirst, who is the drummer with Midnight Oil, and is also a fabbo chappie. And being a typical drummer, while the Oils are not working he is recording his own solo album, as a singer/guitarist.......sound familiar. We had a couple of drinks and swapped a few stories, and as his wife was with us we managed to keep them all clean.

Staying on the subject of drummers I had an email, via Jacky, from a drummer who didn't seem that amused by the joke I told in my last ramblings, they might hit things but they are really quite sensitive deep down. So I suppose I should say I'm sorry, well I'm not. But here's another little jest to piss him off some more. Q: Whats the most asked question to a person with an IQ of 2? A: What sticks do you use?

Onto Sonia's request for some info on our trips to Brazil. What can I say about Rio except that it is a fun city and we all had a great time there, maybe that's why we went back a second time. On the first venture there I was still looking after the kit, and on one night myself and a few of the crew hit the town and got very drunk on the local drink, I think it was made from sugar, which I can pronounce but I've no idea how to spell it. (Help me out Sonia) We were in a bar getting louder and louder when a Welsh Rugby team came in, and they were big boys, and they are also on the tipsy side.

I'm 6ft, Jim Devenney makes me look small and Bob Bickleman made him look small, and the rugby players are of equal size, so we now have a contest on our hands as to which team can sing the loudest and dirtiest rugby songs. To start with the Welsh were winning because they had a couple of good looking women with them, and even though it was loud it was also in good fun. Devenney then comes up with the great statement that rugby is a girls game, the Welsh reply that at least they don't need padding when they play, unlike Gridiron, to which our team say, "OK, lets have a game on the beach tomorrow morning." This to me sounds like a really daft idea as I hate Gridiron, Rugby and Soccer, so one of the lighting guys and myself decided to leave, which means the Queen crew won by default cause neither team turned up on the beach to play, and as the two of us were leaving the bar we took their gorgeous ladies with us. Sorry Wales.

Our second visit to Brazil, when I was traveling with the band, was for the first Rock in Rio which was a two week festival with a host of big names on, each playing two nights. We did the opening night with three Brazilian acts, then Whitesnake who had Cozy as drummer, then Iron Maiden and then us. The second show was at the end and our opening acts were the B52's and the Go Go's. After the show I ended up in my room with a couple of Go Go girls, and boy were they party hounds. Apart from the bands I've mentioned there were other big names like Rod Stewart, AC/DC, Yes, George Benson and more. It was fun because we got to see old friends of the road, but it was also a nightmare cause we were almost prisoners of the hotel, due to the fact there were far to many fans outside the hotel, so we hung around the pool most of the time. The press were paying guests with poolside views so they could use the room and snap rockstars by the pool, which, of course, put an end to that.

The only thing left to do between shows was to get out of Rio and Roger and I heard of a great place called Buzios (Hope I spelt that correctly) which I suppose is about 100 miles away. Deaky and Wally decided to come as well, and being wimps they took a limo, unlike us drum type people, we don't eat quiche, we're gonna drive. The locals were all driving around in beach buggies, they look like fun, thats us, lets go. A buggy is basically a VW beetle with a different body, and our gleaming white buggy turns out to be the biggest pile of crap ever allowed on a road.

I take the wheel and we're not too far into our journey when 1st gear goes on the missing list, I don't care, I'm a good driver, I can start in 2nd. The gearstick decides to loosen on us, so trying to get it in gear was like stirring soup, who cares, onwards and by now our buggy decides to dump the clutch, so when it came to pulling away I just pushed the stick, and whatever gear it went in was the one we drove in. At least we can see the funny side of it all. What else can God give us to make this mission harder, how about torrential rain, which is great fun to drive in when you don't have a roof on the car. Needless to say the buggy rapidly filled up with water. Five minutes of this downpour and we get our next treat, the wipers pack up, so RT has to stand up and lean over the top and wipe the windshield so I can see where I'm going. By this time we look like a couple of soaking wet tramps, but we are killing ourselves laughing as we watch the red mud flow down the hillsides into the river we are trying to drive through. As we go round a bend we both screamed out "OH F***" at the same time. A huge truck was heading in the opposite direction to us, and as it passed at high speed a tidal wave of red water engulfed us and our crappy little car. I have to be honest here, that did wipe out a bit of the humour. We got to our destination, found the hotel and as the drowned rats walked in, the wimps were sitting in the bar, very dry with very cold beers. Next time, I'm with you Deaky. You would think the first thing I would want was a shower, nope, top of the list was a nice quiet chat with the company that rented us our friendly little buggy, and after a couple of well placed words they didn't charge us. Once there we had a good time. Oh, I nearly forgot, we did a couple of great shows as well.

Loads of the usual stuff

Project 3

Zine Question and Answer

I had just finished doing further research about my topic and the questions that I have to answers for my zine. After more thoughts, I decided to change one question to allow a variation in the interview questions. Below are the questions and answers that made it to the final design in my zine.

Q1. First of all, Where and when did you come from?

Well first of all, we weren’t invented yet back then. We only came to this world only recently in 1980s. For us, we were first introduced to the society by the name of AARON. We existed because a group of computer engineer designed a paint program for a digital artist name Harold Cohen. However, this first digital paintbrush isn’t exactly what you readers think it is. It is not the same of how we do and look like now. It was first designed as a machine that will create large drawing on sheets of paper. It was not until 10 years later in 1990 when the digital paintbrush we all know (US, THE TWINS!) were introduced and released for everyone to use. Thanks to the technology that keeps on developing, artists now have the freedom to freely create their artwork anywhere they like.

As for the other paintbrushes,

I asked around and this is a summary of what they told me. The first ever paintbrushes that was first recorded in history dates back to 300 BC in the Qin Dynasty in China. Invented by Meng Tian, the original paintbrush was originally designed for caligraphy and writing with ink and was made with materials such as bamboo and fur of animals’ hair. It was not until the 1930s that paintbrush made its first debut in the Western culture, thanks to a Tuscan painter names Cennino Cennini. The history of paintbrush didn’t stop there, after it was first introduced, each country had its own materials to make the paintbrush with. For example, in Egypt, they use macerated weed fibre, in East Asia, they use feathers and in Europe and America, they use animal’s hair. Paintbrushes were developed throughout history to what we know and have now.

Q2. How has the art and design industry evolve?

As someone who witness and heard of the stories of how art and design has developed, I can say that there are major changes that can be seen throughout history. One reason being the development of new materials and equipment that allows artists to be able to express themselves more freely through art. This development leads you, to us! Digital paintbrushes! However, aside from that, the visual and meaning of each art that were made throughout history have also evolved ever since. If we look at the Palaeolithic era, we can see how your ancestors mostly drew things such as animals that are being hunted and also the human form itself. Same goes with another different era, take Ancient era for an example (3500 BC), they mostly draw things that are heavily influenced by law practices and religion of the country. Whereas now, the century we live in, people are now in the phase of contemporary art, where they focuses on modernism and the innovative way to represent and express art. In conclusion, each era that is recorded in history has its own individual job in creating the art industry unique and to what we know and see today. The way people think and express themselves adapt and evolve through what their current situtaion is like.

Q3. It seems like you as an object are involved with so many different fields from design to makeup. If you hadn’t been invented, What would the design world would look like?

Well if you want the obvious answer, the design world would have to stuck with using their hand or other alternatives materials such as a stick to create artwork. The paintings that were made by historical artists like the Monalisa, that was made by Leonardo Da Vinci or The Old Guitarist that was made by Pablo Picasso wouldn’t have existed in this world  if paintbrush isn’t a thing for people to use.

If you look back about 40,000 years ago, you would know that our ancestors, or  yours to be exact, they used stick and their own fingers as a way to express their feeling and message through art. And may I add that they didn’t even use canvas to paint on. They painted in a cave! They had to poke and dab each holes and lines that they wanted to make to create their artwork. In addition to that, they had other material alernatives, such as horse hairbrushes and blowing the paints using bone marrows to resemble airbrushes. Although brushes was known as one of the option of materials that they used,  the quality of the brushes might not be as nice as what we have now and if it wasn’t made as an option, people who used to do cave painting can only use the other materials that they had.

How about us, the digital art brushes? Well, the designers before the 1980s survived without us! They used pencil and traditional art objects and material to create their design. Can’t you imagine your life without us? It would be  so much harder for the designers to survive in the design world.

Q4. I know that you’ve been used by historically famous artists like Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci and many more inspirational artists. How does it  feel like to be apart of inspirational artists’ journey in the design/art industry?

Well, my sister and I obviously weren’t invented during that period where historical artists create a change for the society’s perspectives of art and design. We are however, involved with the design and artwork that are made in this century after we were invented and it  makes us feel very honored to be apart of that process. I did asked our paintbrush ancestors or siblings as they liked us to hear us call them, and in summary, they said that they feel popular knowing that they’re involved in something that shape the history. They did say that the best part of being involved as a part of history is knowing different techniques each artists use. Each historical significant artitsts uses their own techiques to make their own artwork unique and resemble their own personality. For example, the techniques that is used by Van Gogh. Van Gogh uses bright and vibrant colours to apply his unique technique to each of his artwork. He used a flat brush that was loaded with two different thick paint colours on each sides of the brush to create the effect of having two colours side by side.

Q5. As a design object that is used by designers and artists throughout the world, from beginner to professional, you as an equipment for are constantly being used and bought. The prices aren’t always cheap either, What Influence do you have in the day to day life that allows some people to spend some money to be able to use you in their career?

I guess the more simple and straightforward answer is how they say the more expensive we are the better quality we tend to be. I guess that’s the main reason why many people would spend quite a bit money as an investment for art. For example, cheap art materials such s clay and paint, their durability might not be as long as products with a higher and more expensive prizes. Therefore buying materials that are cheap might be a waste of money since the durability is not a long time for other people from other future generations to be able to see your artwork throughout history. Aside from that, us as an art equipment , we have our own purpose and usage that allows us to differs from one another. Take us as an example, the both of us can’t quite resemble what one another do. One of us are meant for digital drawing in drawing apps whereas my twin is meant to edit and trace objects in Adobe apps. Due to our own individual role that helps artists to be a designer or a better artists, people tend to invest to reach the result they wanted.

Partial Clearing- Robert Poss clears the air and fills us in.

I remember first hearing Band of Susans’ “Hope Against Hope” on the Blessing and Curse EP that the band was nice enough to send me in 1987  (I remember being doubly excited as it was one of the first promos I had received after I’d started doing DAGGER).  What was this? My classic rock records didn’t sound like this and neither did my hardcore records. No, this seemed more in the Lower East Side Sonic Young/Live Skull school of chaotic, noisy guitars and rhythms that were all over the place, music that was fairly new to me at the time. I loved it.

Band of Susans released a handful of terrific records then seemingly vanished. Robert Poss, the band’s leader/ main songwriter had a released a few records under his own name in the late 90’s/early 00′s but I completely missed ‘em. It wasn’t until a few years ago when 2018’s Frozen Flowers Curse the Day appeared in my mailbox (also included was 2010’s Settings Music for Dance, Film, Fashion and Industry) and I realized that Poss is and always was a true musician/guitarist (I mean, it was evident before but this kind of sealed it). Even though he or his music may not be in the spotlight he’s still working and experimenting with time, space and sound on his collection of guitars. Frozen Flowers... is well worth your time. 

I emailed him and asked him if I could send some questions his way and he said yes. As you’ll read he had to fill me on in the big gap from when Band of Susans broke up until present day. He was always working and creating, a true student of music. It seems like the guy has played with every experimental/avant-garde musician out there. It seems like he’s always up for a challenge. This ain’t your dad’s music, maybe more like the cool/weird uncle you rarely see but he always has something interesting to say. Robert Poss had some very interesting things to say so please do read on and enjoy.

 A young(er) Poss and his growing collection. 

 Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Buffalo, New York. My father was a pure New York City boy, however.

 At what age did you get your first guitar? Was anyone else in your house musical….parents or siblings?

I first briefly fooled around with an oddly tuned acoustic guitar, but at age 12 got an electric bass and started learning songs by ear off the radio. I was first strictly a bass player, but started playing electric guitar probably at around age 14 or 15.  Although I had a distant cousin who was an established concert violinist, my own immediate family was rather devoid of musical talent or pursuits. On the other hand, they appreciated music and I learned quite a bit from my older sisters during the 1960s when they would play the latest hip LPs for me.

 When you began playing guitar which guitarists influenced your style?

Mike Bloomfield, Albert King, Mick Taylor, Freddie King, Keith Richards, Rory Gallagher, and much later, The Edge, Tom Verlaine and Keith Levene.

 Tell us about your first band. 

A bunch of enthusiastic, introverted teenagers in a suburb of Buffalo trying to emulate the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. My friend Andrew Halbreich was an incredibly skilled harp (harmonica) player. My buddy (eventual Band Of Susans drummer) Ron Spitzer was a masterful musician who could play guitar, bass, and keyboards and had a great singing voice. I was in a number of bands with him over the years.

 I’m going to jump forward here…after Band Of Susans broke up did you continue playing? 

My work after B.O.S. involved various short-term collaborations and projects, some with Susan Stenger, as well as solo efforts. I also got involved with making music for modern dance. I did some solo performances in London, Cologne and Prague.  I worked with Susan on a 96-day musical installation for the Musée d’art Contemporain in Lyon, France, performed at the premier of composer Phill Niblock’s "Stosspeng" in Krems, Austria and contributed music to an Albert Maysles/Kristen Nutile documentary, Sally Gross: The Pleasure Of Stillness.  In 2009 I performed with Rhys Chatham and Robert Longo at a Metropolitan Museum of Art retrospective and participated in Chatham’s Crimson Grail project for 200 guitars at Lincoln Center. I have also collaborated with Austrian visual artist Margret Wibmer and wrote some guitar-centric articles for The Leonardo Music Journal and The Tone Quest Report.  In March 2012 I performed the music of John Cage, Yoshi Wada and Phill Niblock along with long-time collaborator Susan Stenger at the AV Festival in Newcastle, U.K.  In December of 2014 I performed in Paris with Susan Stenger, Einstürzende Neubauten's F.M. Einheit and renowned actress, writer and theatre artist Olwen Fouéré as part of a two-day music and sound installation. In June of 2015, I did a series of eight performances of his original music with bassist Kato Hideki accompanying the Alexandra Beller/Dances company at La Mama for the piece “milkdreams.” In February of 2017 I participated in the recording in Lisbon, Portugal of F.M. Einheit’s L'exposition d'un rêve (The Exhibition of a Dream), which had its premiere at the Gubenkian Foundation in Paris in October of that year. Some of these are art/music hybrid projects were organized and curated by Mathieu Copeland. In recent years, I’ve also performed with some quirky art-rock groups led by Evans Wohlforth. One incarnation of the Heroes Of Toolik I played with had Billy Ficca from Television drumming and Ernie Brooks from The Modern Lovers on bass.

 I’ll jump forward again, tell us about the making of your 2018 album, Frozen Flowers Curse the Day. What was the initial inspiration behind it? 

FFCTD is a compilation of some of the music I had been doing for the choreographers Alexandra Beller and Sally Gross along with a hodge-podge of recent musical explorations. I wanted to see this music – some of which had been performed live with the two dance companies – to be formally released.

 Where did the title come from? 

It’s simply an amalgam of the two song titles from the CD.

 A few guitars....

I know you love experimenting with the guitar….is there a goal? Maybe to find a sound you’d never heard/played before?

I’ve been playing guitar forever. I am self-taught. Over the years I have been immersed in electric blues and rock and was introduced to “serious” minimalist, electronic and experimental music by Susan Stenger, Nicolas Collins and Rhys Chatham. I love improvisation as much as I love compositional structure. I think that I am an intuitive minimalist. I am more interested in texture, sonic architecture and rhythmic interplay than I am in melody.  I’ve also always liked very minimal “primitive” folk-blues guitar. These days I look for inspiration in environmental sounds, in Indian classical music, in the work of composers like Alvin Lucier and Phill Niblock and in pure electronic sounds. But I always come back to guitar, and to my peculiar and particular brand of distortion textures, layering and experimentation. There is an element of “automatic writing” to the work I do currently. The sort of work I have been doing over the past few decades has slowly become more commonplace I suppose. But I always hope to stumble on to something new and compelling.

  Just to discuss one song from the album, “Partial Clearing”, how were those sounds made?

This was made for the choreographer Alexandra Beller. I used an improvised percussive guitar loop that I had made and did some drone guitar stuff using a crazy one-of-a-kind Nicolas Collins distortion box. There is an interlude of a consonant guitar arpeggio It has a few layers of the sort of guitar and electronics work that I perform live.

 Are you working on new material and if so can we expect a new album in the near future?

I’m always pondering new directions and new material. At the moment I’m somewhat torn between pure electronic music, more guitar rock and various hybrids. I’m often a bit slow at codifying and completing longer projects, but I’ll have something out in 2020. I’m also hoping that I will get invited to do some improvised duos and collaborations.

 Band of Susans just destroying

 Also, with your label Trace Element, is it just for your recordings or do you release other artist’s music?

Trace Elements records was founded by me, Ron Spitzer and Andrew Halbreich in around 1980. It originally was set up for our band Tot Rocket, which released two 7" records on it. With the recording of the Western Eyes LP Western Eyes, electronic music composer Nicolas Collins, who produced the record, became involved in the label. Trace Elements released the Collins LP Devil’s Music, a Collins/Poss cassette called Inverse Guitar, and 100 Of The World’s Most Beautiful Melodies, a CD of Collins' duets with musicians such as John Zorn, Zeena Parkins, Shelley Hirsch, Christian Marclay, Tom Cora and Elliot Sharp. The label also released my 1986 Sometimes cassette and the debut 7" EP When People Were Shorter And Lived Near The Water, but is best known for the 1987 release of Band Of Susans' first record, Blessing And Curse, a 12” EP, and Nicolas Collins’s 1992 CD It Was A Dark and Stormy Night. I currently run the label myself, though it’s mostly dormant. The most recent releases have been my two companion solo CDs, Distortion Is Truth and Crossing Casco Bay, both released in late 2002, Settings: Music For Dance, Film, Fashion and Industry, released in the autumn of 2010 and Frozen Flowers Curse The Day, released in 2018.

  Who are some of your favorite current bands and/or musicians?

I like Come and other Thalia Zedek/Chris Brokaw projects. A great New York band called Collapsible Shoulder. The stuff done by Mission of Burma’s Peter Prescott and Roger Miller.  Phill Niblock’s ongoing work. Anything Susan Stenger is involved in. Pan Sonic. Shilpa Ray. Zeena Parkins. Andrea Parkins. Nicolas Collins. Ben Neill.  Guitarist Chris Cochrane’s projects. Kato Hideki.  David Watson. Evans Wohlforth always has something interesting going on. My ex-bandmate Karen Haglof has been doing some nice work. (I’m probably leaving some key persons out.) There is also a whole host of musicians, young and old doing pure electronic music these days. But I’m truly terrible at keeping up with the latest and greatest stuff out there. Most of the gigs I go to involve friends and colleagues.

  What are your top 10 desert island discs 

 This list appears very retro, very male; but, for the mood I’m in today:

 Rolling Stones: Beggars Banquet

Rolling Stones: Their Satanic Majesties Request

Tom Verlaine: Dreamtime

The Kinks: Kinks Kronikles

David Bowie: Aladdin Sane

Phill Niblock: Touch Strings

The Kinks: Muswell Hillbillies

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND July 19, 2019 – DAVID CROSBY: REMEMBER MY NAME, THE LION KING

Before we get to the big studio release… which I haven’t seen… I’m gonna focus on a new doc opening in New York and L.A. on Friday, DAVID CROSBY: REMEMBER MY NAME (Sony Pictures Classics). Directed by A.J. Eaton and produced by Cameron Crowe, this movie surprised me first and foremost because I never really had much interest in Crosby Stills and Nash, so I wasn’t sure if I’d really care much to hear Crosby’s story. (Granted, one of my favorite bands, Yes, was hugely influenced by CSN.)

Much of the film is made up of interviews with Crosby conducted by Crowe, who first interviewed Crosby when he was a young journalist in the ‘70s. There are some real revelations in the film – similar to the recent Marianne and Leonard– including Crosby admitting that he got a number of girlfriends hooked on drugs. He also lost a girlfriend in a car accident that deeply affected him, although it’s also interesting to hear from some of his bandmates like Graham Nash, who claim that Crosby is not the nice guy some might perceive.

Whether or not you’re interested in Crosby and his life/career, Remember My Name is a fascinating look at a pivotal person from the ‘60s and earliest days of rock, another great doc from Crowe, who should really be doing more about the history of music.

I may have mentioned before that I have practically zero interest in Walt Disney Pictures’ THE LION KING, even though I am a long-time fan of director Jon Favreau’s work… except The Jungle Book, in which I was disappointed. Maybe it’s just because I was such a fan of the original animated movie and Rudyard Kipling’s book, but not having any immediately connection to the 1994 Disney animated movie, nothing has really gotten me excited to see this one.

You can actually read more about The Lion King over at The Beat.

Bleecker Street also hopes to expand Jesse Eisenberg’s dark comedy THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE nationwide into over 500 theaters, which seems a bit forward, considering that it didn’t fare nearly as well as A24’s The Farewell in limited release last weekend.

LIMITED RELEASES

Before we get to the regular fare, on Wednesday, Trafalgar Releasing is the Trey Anastasio doc Between Me and My Mind in theaters across the nation on Wednesday night. Being a fan of Trey and Phish and having seen this at the Tribeca Film Festival, I can say that it’s a MUST-SEE for anyone who has ever enjoyed Trey’s vast output both with Phish and his solo groups. Besides showing Trey in the writing and production process for his latest solo album, it also shows him and the members of Phish preparing for the 2017 New Year’s Eve run at Madison Square Garden. Director Steven Cantor was given amazing access to Trey, as he also filmed a few personal conversations the singer/guitarist/songwriter has with his parents about their history together. I’m actually going to see it again tonight.. but if you’re in the New York area, go see it at the Alamo Drafthouse, where it’s hosted by the awesome Jordan Hoffman. (6:30pm show is already sold out but they’ve added a 9:20 showing.)

A couple other docs this weekend include Radu Jude’s Romanian dark comedy I Do Not Care If We Go down in History as Barbarians, which opens at the IFC Center. It’s about the dictator Marshal Ion Antonescu, who started a program of ethnic cleansing in the summer of 1941, something that’s recreated in present day by an idealistic theater director, causing controversy. It opens at the IFC Center on Friday.

Also opening at the IFC Center is Tilman Singer’s German horror film Luz (Screen Media), about a young cab driver who has been contending with a possessed woman who can endanger many lives. Lastly and also at the IFC Center, there’s Paddy Breachnach’s Rosie, the story of a mother trying to protect her homeless family, covering their struggle over 36 hours.

Joe Manganiello from Magic Mike and his wife Sofia Vergara from Modern Family star in  Raymond De Felitta’s Bottom of the 9th (Saban Films) about a baseball player named Bobby Setano, who ends up in jail at the age of 19 just as his career is taking off. 20 years later, he is tryng to win back everything he lost in this movie from the director of the excellent City Island and Rob the Mob. It’s in select theaters, On Demand and digital platforms.

There are two new docs opening at the Metrograph Friday:

Martin Bell’s Tiny: The Life of Erin Blackwell is a follow-up to his 1984 film Streetwise (see “Repertory” below), this one following up on that film’s 14-year-old subject “Tiny” and what she’s been through since then, going from drug addiction to poverty, having given birth to ten children. There’s also Marie Losier’sCassandro, the Exotico! (Film Movement) looking at the 47-year-old Saul Armendariz aka Cassandro, the openly gay champion of the Mexican exotico wrestling circuit, which features competitors in drag. The film is shot entirely on 16mm.

I just want to draw special attention to New York’s Village East Cinemas, which really has turned itself around with the variety of films and programs it’s offering, partially to compete with some of the new and revitalized arthouses. This week, it has three new movies, beginning with At War (Cinema Libre Studios), the new film from French filmmaker Stéphane Brizé (The Measure of a Man), once again teaming him with  Vincent Lindon as Laurent Amédéo, the spokesman for a company that is going to shut down its factory, putting over a thousand employees out of work.

The Village East is also one of the theaters showing Aaron Harvey’s Into the Ashes (RLJEntertainment), starring Luke Grimes as former criminal Nick Brenner who believe he has escaped his past until his old crew shows up for the money he stole from them, taking  Nick’s wife and putting him on a path for revenge.

I know very little Steve Barron’s Supervized except that it’s about four aging superheroes in an Irish retirement home and it stars the likes of Beau Bridges, Louis Gossett Jr., Tom Berenger and Fionnula Flanagan.

LOCAL FESTIVALS

This weekend at the IFC Center is the first-ever 51 Fest, honoring the “female majority on screen” by paying tribute to the women of the world with an amazing line-up of films.  The fest opens at the SVA Theater on Thursday night with Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story and then continues at the IFC Center with the New York Premieres of Bart Freundlich’s After the Wedding remake starring Julianne Moore, Paul Downs Colaizzo’s terrific Brittany Runs a Marathon (with a QnA hosted by my pal Ophira Eisenberg), Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts’s doc For Sama and more. The fest will also host the World Premiere of Lisa Cholodenko’s episode of the Netflix series Unbelievable with Cholodenko and actors Kaitlyn Dever, Danielle Macdonald and Merritt Weaver appearing in person. In general, this seems like a strong new festival with lots of talent attending, so here’s hoping that this becomes a regular annual thing.

STREAMING AND CABLE

Premiering on Netflix Friday is Peter Sullivan’s suspense thriller SECRET OBSESSION, starring Brenda Song (The Social Network) as a newlywed who is brutally attacked at a rest stop leaving her with amnesia. As her husband (Mike Vogel) takes care of her at home, a detective (Dennis Haysbert) goes looking for her attacker who also might have kidnapped his daughter.

I’m more excited about the return of Jerry Seinfeld’s series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” with its new season, as it’s one of my favorite Netflix series by far.

REPERTORY

Although there aren’t a ton of limited releases this week, it’s an exciting time for repertory fans for reasons you’ll discover as you go through the entries below.

METROGRAPH (NYC):

To tie-in with the release of Tiny (see above), the Metrograph is also screening of a new restoration of Martin Bell’s 1984 film Streetwise, about the kids who would gather on downtown Seattle’s Pike Street. This weekend’sLate Nites at Metrograph  is the movie musical classic, Alan Arkush’s 1979 movie Rock ‘n’ Roll High School starring the Ramones!Playtime: Family Matineesgoes with Disney’s 1979 film The Black Hole on 35mm, and you can bet I’ll be there for that.

THE NEW BEVERLY (L.A.):

As we get closer to the release of Tarantino’s 9thfilm, his rep theater will continues its James Bond series with Thunderball as the Weds. matinee and then both Weds and Thurday night is a grindhouse TRIPLE FEATURE (!!!) of Curtis Hanson’s 1972 film Sweet Kill with 1973’s Soul Hustler (with Larry Bishop in person) and the 1971 film Sweet Saviour.  The Friday/Saturday double feature is Mervyn Le Roy’s Gipsy (1962) with Sidney Pollack’s This Property is Condemned (1966), while Sunday and Monday is a Fabian double feature of Ride the Wild Surf  (1964) and Thunder Alley (1967), the latter co-starring Annette Funicello. This weekend’s KIDDEE MATINE continues the Love Bug series with Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo from 1977. Tarantino’s own Django Unchained is the Friday midnight movie with something called I Love You, Alice b. Toklas (1968), starring Peter Sellers (!), on Saturday at midnight. Monday’s matinee is the 1995 film The Basketball Diaries, starring a VERY young Leonardo DiCaprio. Tuesday night’s official GRINDHOUSE triple feature is Joe Namath’s CC & Company(1970), along with two Jack Starrett films, The Losers  from 1970 and Hollywood Man from 1976. I understand that many of the films being programmed are ones that had an influence on Tarantino’s upcoming film Once Upon a Time in ... Hollywood, which hits American theaters across the country next week.

FILM FORUM (NYC):

Not be outdone by the younger New York “upstart-house” theaters, Film Forum is kicking off a month-long Burt Lancaster seriesbeginning with a week-long 4k restoration of Robert Siodmak’s (1946) The Killers, starring Lancaster and Ava Gardner. The series will then continue with classics like the Sweet Smell of Success and From Here to Eternity starting Friday, July 26, so check back next week for more on this series. Mikhail Kalatozov’s The Cranes are Flying (1957) will end Thursday to make room for above.

Just a reminder that the AERO is closed for the month of July for “repairs and upgrades” but will be back in August with its own entries in the “Highballs and Screwballs” series.

QUAD CINEMA (NYC):

I’m pretty excited about the second part of the Quad’s Fresh Meat: Giallo Restorations Part II, starting on Friday. I havent’ seen a single one of the movies but with titles like The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire and Strip Nude for Your Killer, I have to try to see some of these for sure.

FILM OF LINCOLN CENTER (NYC):

FilmLinc’s new summer series is This is Cinema Now: 21st Century Debuts, which is fairly self-explanatory but features fairly new films including Barry Jenkins’ Medicine for Melancholy, screening in a double feature with Damien Chazelle’s Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, Andrew Bujalski’s Funny Ha Hawith Maren Ade’s The Forest for the Trees, Shane Caruth’s Primer with Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko, and many more with many screening  twice but a lot only screening once. Some of them are playing as two-for-one double features and if I wasn’t dealing with Comic-Con stuff, I’d totally go see the Damien Chazelle/Barry Jenkins double feature on Saturday night.

BAM CINEMATEK (NYC):

On Friday, BAM begins a series called “Intimate Epics” which includes everything from Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia  (1999) to Hu Bo’s very recent Elephant Sitting Still to Kurosawa’s classic Seven Samurai (1954). It runs through the weekend until Tuesday.

IFC CENTER (NYC)

On Friday, IFC Center will present a 60thAnniversary revival of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic North by Northwest in a new 4k restoration. Still no word on when it’s new series will begin but presumably soon.

MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE (NYC):

The Astoria arthouse begins a retrospective called “Barbara Hammer, Superdyke” on Friday, which runs through Sunday, July 28, honoring the late filmmaker with a number of shorts series under the titles “Mediated Sensuality,” “Ecstatic Subjectivity,” “Hall of Mirrors” and more. I really don’t know anything about her films but you can learn more at the link above.

ROXY CINEMA# (NYC)

Weds. and Sunday, the Roxy shows a 35mm print of the 1964 thriller Marnie, while on Thursday, there’s a very rare screening of Roman Polanski’s 1967 dark comedy The Fearless Vampire Killers.

LANDMARK THEATRES NUART  (LA):

Friday night’s midnight offering is Gaspar Noé’s Climaxfrom earlier in the year.. so not old enough to be considered “repertory,” huh?

Next week, it’s all about Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood! (Seeing it Monday and I’ll have a review next Tuesday.)

8 Famed Parties That History Got Almost Exactly Wrong

Look, it’s not our operation here to prove that record is bullshit. It’s precisely that what the hell are you memorize in institution tends to be boiled down to a few highlights that can be plowed through in one period, and what you read in movies is the product of some screenwriter pounding it out over a coke-fueled weekend. We change real human being into heroes, rogues, and crude stereotypes.

# 8. Mother Teresa Accepted Money From Criminals And Deliberately Neglected Patients

Is there anyone whose honour is more bulletproof than Mother Teresa? The Catholic nun dedicated their own lives to helping the impoverished in India, and her run not only prevailed her the Nobel Peace Prize but made her the fast track to legitimate sainthood. But some people have come out of the woodwork to question Teresa’s integrity, including atheist pot-stirrer Christopher Hitchens, who released a documentary about her provocatively entitled Hell’s Angel .

For those not very well known Hitchens, he’s that person you always find vaguely like an asshole for come to terms with .

Among the charges against Mother Teresa are that the conditions in her hospital were actually downright appalling, with some medical professionals likening it to a concentration camp. Since then former members of the religious order she founded have come forward to reveal that the money donated didn’t inevitably go toward the poor, and the people lives in horrifying provisions where nurses organized drug with their bare mitts and reused weaken needles, because apparently you can pray away cross-contamination.

Apparently, Mother Teresa wasn’t too concerned about the poor conditions in her infirmary because, according to her, suffering brought people closer to Jesus, and she avoided from expending anesthesia because alleviating people’s hurting was less important than proselytizing them to Christianity. Apparently that didn’t apply to Teresa, because when she fell ill herself, she tried care in a modern American hospital. But, hell, she already knew about Jesus.

“So how’s about we get a little less prophetic and a bit more anesthetic.”

But pundits also point out that Teresa wasn’t too concerned about who she took gifts from, and so she became a lightning rod for offenders and tyrants who wanted to represent themselves look better by being able to say that they donated to Mother Teresa. Among her top donors were Jean-Claude Duvalier, harsh dictator of Haiti, and banker Charles Keating, who was convicted in the 1990 s for cases of fraud and racketeering. On crown of everything else, in 1991 it was revealed that simply a small amount of the money donated to Mother Teresa’s organisation could be accounted for. The remain likely moved immediately into the Vatican’s bank vault, because if there’s anyone who needs money more than the poor people of India, it’s the pope.

# 7. Leonardo Da Vinci Was A Muscular Male Model

If Hollywood made a movie about Leonardo Da Vinci and cast, respond, The Rock in the lead role, you’d likely believe that this is amusing. After all, when you imagine Leonardo Da Vinci, you’re most likely picturing a wizened old bearded guy. While this is the epitome that has existed through the centuries, the truth is that, in his time, Da Vinci was in fact known for being less Dumbledore and more Dwayne Johnson.

And sometimes wore his dres backwards, apparently .

Multiple accountings from Leonardo’s time had people mentioning how taken aback they were by his good looks, with some describing him as “a man of great beauty.” In knowledge, it’s thought that his first teacher, Verrocchio, probably initially hired him as a simulation rather than a student.

But Da Vinci didn’t precisely have incredible cheekbones. His particular obsession with learning the male physique came in part from his own absurd level of fitness. Gentleman in those daylights had a hard time constructing large-scale gizmoes by hand without the help of machinery, and Da Vinci’s reputation for being a master make starts with the fact that he himself was improved like a brick shithouse. It’s said that he was able to impress people at parties by stooping horseshoes with one hand.

A stunt this sauntering gym membership ad of a gentleman requirement both hands and a fair chip of grunting to pull off .

All this time, we’ve been doing Leonardo’s memory a disservice by envisioning him as an eccentric age-old tinkerer, when in reality he was like someone made the brain of Bruce Banner in their own bodies of The Hulk.

# 6. Punk Star Johnny Ramone Was A Staunch Conservative

Johnny Ramone was the guitarist for The Ramones, one of the most influential bandings in its own history of punk. Punk, of course, has been the category of alternative for left-wing revolutionaries for decades, so it ruffled a few feathers when The Ramones were inaugurated into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2002, and Johnny took to the podium to answer, “God bless President Bush, and god bless America.” You could just about hear the record scratch resemble through the hall.

Not that there’s anything unseemly about has become a Republican, necessarily — it’s only that you don’t learn a lot of spiked collars and mohawks at a Ted Cruz rally. There’s not much overlap on that particular Venn diagram. Still, it genuinely shouldn’t have been too stunning for devotees who had followed their profession, because although his bandmates leaned to the left politically, Johnny had always been staunchly republican, a Republican voter, and an NRA member.

Despite looking like someone they are able to hunt for sport when big game got too suffering .

According to band members Joey and Marky Ramone( the surname is phony; none of the musicians were actually referred ), Johnny had considered that Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in American record and was even right-wing enough that he was one of the dozen or so beings in the two countries who guessed Richard Nixon got a raw deal.

Johnny died from cancer shortly after his Dormitory Of Fame appearance, but it had the effect of inspiring other republican punk love to come out to the world. Because, really, what could be more rebellious than standing in that crowd, raising a fist in the air, and screaming for lower capital increases taxes?

“HEY! HO! LET’S GO-P! ”

# 5. Karl Marx Mooched Off His Wealthy Friends

Karl Marx is perhaps the most influential political philosopher of all time, if you consider communism to be a big deal. For someone with such a famed enmity against capitalism, you’d likely premise he had some ghastly boss in his time, sufficient to build Dilbert and Office Space mixed look like a revelry of the free market. In actuality, Marx never held down a chore. But that didn’t signify he lived the humble, impoverished life of the proletariat, either — he actually experienced an extravagant lifestyle, mooching off his aristocratic partner, whose upper-class background he often boasted about, and sending his their children to expensive private schools.

Maintenance on that beard alone cost more than most working proles acquired in a month .

But his wife’s old money wasn’t his biggest source of income. A full-time life-style of philosophizing about financial was expensive to conserve, along with the vintage wines and bathtubs full of cocaine it probably involved, so its tremendous welfare checks were cut by his significantly richer friend, Friedrich Engels, who you might recognize as the lesser co-author of The Communist Manifesto , even though he did most of the work.

Marx did eventually get a job as a reporter for the New York Daily Tribune, but he couldn’t actually speak much English, which was OK because he never actually intended to write for them — what happened was Engels wrote essays for the working paper under Marx’s name, with the checks going to Marx. It was a win-win plan, because Marx get pay money doing good-for-nothing, while Engels … got to practice his English grammar, we suspect?

“I can’t facilitate but appear I’ve recognized a mistake in your beliefs, Karl.”

That wasn’t the only scam that Marx and Engels ran together with 100 percent of potential benefits going to Marx. Engels also embezzled money from his father’s company to give to Marx, at great risk to his own career and family. Maybe Engels’ biggest one-sided advantage was after Marx knocked up his housemaid and Engels claimed himself the parent to shunned his friend standing embarrassment. All thoughts considered, Engels was probably the world’s best friend that the world’s worst sidekick was possible to have.

# 4. Charles Dickens Was Kind Of A Dick

For a scribe who is best known for romances about assholes reading the error of their roads and becoming “peoples lives” around to act the best interests of humanity, follower was Charles Dickens himself a bigger shit than any attribute he was never wrote.

According to one biography, Dickens liked to entertain himself by bothering the inferno out of parties, like your worst acquaintance in college. He would walk up to beings in wall street and irk them with absurdity pranks, and would obnoxiously hit on women in ways that would have gotten him pepper-sprayed nowadays. On one reason, he picked a woman up without her permission and carried her down the beach, insinuating that he was going to kill her. This was all great recreation for Dickens, but less recreation for his wife.

The wife who accepted she was about to be abducted and murdered likely wasn’t tittering either .

Oh yes, he was married at the time. And his wife suffered from his assholery more than anyone. From referring to her as a “donkey, ” to smacking on teenage daughters in plain sight, he was emotionally abusive enough that he’d be right at home in a Charles Dickens fiction. But, like “theyre saying”, the best writers write what they know.

Probably this symbolize he made her sweep chimneys and live on exclusively portioned gruel .

The worst chapter in their nightmare wedding was when Dickens, aged 45 and with nine teenagers, started having an occasion with 18 -year-old actress Ellen Ternan. Dickens deterred the occasion secret for fear that it would destroy his reputation. This became more difficult as time went on, due to complications such as them designing a child together.

Eventually, the deceit became too spending for him, but rather than purpose the circumstance, he divorced his wife, leaving her with a generous alimony but forbidding her access to their nine offsprings. He then spent the rest of his life talking to anyone who would listen about what a crappy mom she had been and how she was perhaps lunatic, just so he could keep the truth about his infidelity under wraps. All that is something that takes the punch out of the moral to A Christmas Carol .

# 3. Queen Victoria Was Just A Gigantic Person

It’s no secret that Queen Victoria was a little on the chubby side. But while nothing was ever for the purposes of the illusion that she could be mistaken for an Olsen twin, facts have recently come to light about just how big she was. Those facts involve the 2014 auction of her 52 -inch-waist underwear, who was allegedly can fit three parties comfortably.

We don’t just knowing that kind of parties were willing to shell out cold, hard cash — over $4,000, in fact — for Queen Victoria’s underthings. The purchasers opted to remain anonymous, but let’s just say that they’re now in control of a very large conversation piece or a cozy silk bed sheet.

Nothing like compensating the cost of a put-upon vehicle for captured farts from the 1860 s .

The auctioneer finely has pointed out that, by this object in her life, the queen “had eaten a lot more than most people could render to.” Apparently, the underwear was donated to her servants in her will, which is the least she could do to thank the team of people who likely had to help her into them every morning. Now your boss’ crappy Christmas cards don’t search so bad. Or they examine worse; we’re not sure.

And while we’re grossly body-shaming the monstrous of biography …

# 2. Napoleon Was A Normal-Sized Person, But He Had A Tiny Penis

We’ve already exposed that the idea of French despot Napoleon being really short is a demonstrably untrue superstition. He was actually somewhat above median in meridian and exactly took a cluster of photos alongside freakishly towering sentries that gave rise to the illusion. However, there may be another reason why Napoleon could have had a so-called “Napoleon complex.”

The artifact finely identified “Napoleon’s Item” was removed during his autopsy back in 1821 and hindered preserved by a clergyman until “its been” placed on display by the Museum Of French Art in 1927. In instance you don’t know what we’re speak about, it’s his dick. This enter is about Napoleon’s dick.

“My forwards artillery is none of your business.”

His minuscule dick, as it turns out. The British Tv line Dead Famous DNA started in search of the cherished artifact in 2014 and obtained it in New Jersey of all places, in the home of a private collector who is apparently unwilling to show it to exactly anyone, for reasonableness most people can probably understand.

Analysis of the item reveals that it is just under two inches in section. The owner admits that it is “very small” but also says that it is “perfect structurally, ” as if that’s any relief. The takeaway is that the dude was just jam-pack plural inches. No amazement he was angry all the time.

Who would’ve suspected he was trying to compensate for something .

To be fair to Mr. Bonaparte, most dicks get reasonably underwhelming on a cold day, so we can only imagine what happens after you lop them off and store them in a cup for nearly two centuries.

# 1. King Tut Was Highly Deformed Due To Inbreeding

Tutankhamun, affectionately nicknamed King Tut, is possibly the only Egyptian pharaoh other than Cleopatra that it is able to refer on a pop quiz. Even so, you probably only think of him as a person with a serpent on his hat who did The Bangles’ Egyptian tread. Tut wasn’t actually that important a figure in ancient Egyptian biography, and there are really simply two things we know about his life — he died young, likely a teenager, and he was incredibly deformed. These two facts are likely related.

Upon the uncovering of Tutankhamun’s tomb and mummy in 1922, it was noticed that all the decorates of the pharaoh pictured him carrying a stick. Although some represented him expending it as a weapon, so it was theorized at the time that he just liked making people with remains. Maybe he was just a dick that way.

Seems to fit with our experiences with busters who wander around uncovering their abs all day .

But further analysis of his body showed that he probably necessary a walking stick to get around at all, because he stood just about every physical deformity you can imagine.

Still doing better than ol’ Bonaparte, at the least .

See, the Egyptian royal family had kind of a predilection toward marrying their own siblings in order to keep the bloodline pure. This attire have all contributed to genetic deformities, and in Tutankhamun’s regrettable lawsuit, he fell out of the incest tree and slam every diverge on the way down. Studies present that he had: an extreme overbite, a club paw, a skeletal deformity announced Kohler disease, and exceptionally wide-eyed hips. On surface of that, he suffered a separated leg at some extent and contracted malaria.

No wonder his tomb contained an unusual number of statues intended as servants to help the pharaoh in the afterlife. He probably needed a dozen beings to help him get out of berth in the morning, and that was when his legs were still alive.

All this time, we’ve been doing Leonardo’s memory a disservice by envisioning him as an eccentric age-old tinkerer, when in reality he was like someone made the brain of Bruce Banner in their own bodies of The Hulk.

# 6. Punk Star Johnny Ramone Was A Staunch Conservative

Johnny Ramone was the guitarist for The Ramones, one of the most influential bandings in its own history of punk. Punk, of course, has been the category of alternative for left-wing revolutionaries for decades, so it ruffled a few feathers when The Ramones were inaugurated into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2002, and Johnny took to the podium to answer, “God bless President Bush, and god bless America.” You could just about hear the record scratch resemble through the hall.

Not that there’s anything unseemly about has become a Republican, necessarily — it’s only that you don’t learn a lot of spiked collars and mohawks at a Ted Cruz rally. There’s not much overlap on that particular Venn diagram. Still, it genuinely shouldn’t have been too stunning for devotees who had followed their profession, because although his bandmates leaned to the left politically, Johnny had always been staunchly republican, a Republican voter, and an NRA member.

Despite looking like someone they are able to hunt for sport when big game got too suffering .

According to band members Joey and Marky Ramone( the surname is phony; none of the musicians were actually referred ), Johnny had considered that Ronald Reagan was the greatest president in American record and was even right-wing enough that he was one of the dozen or so beings in the two countries who guessed Richard Nixon got a raw deal.

Johnny died from cancer shortly after his Dormitory Of Fame appearance, but it had the effect of inspiring other republican punk love to come out to the world. Because, really, what could be more rebellious than standing in that crowd, raising a fist in the air, and screaming for lower capital increases taxes?

“HEY! HO! LET’S GO-P! ”

Meanwhile …

# 5. Karl Marx Mooched Off His Wealthy Friends

Karl Marx is perhaps the most influential political philosopher of all time, if you consider communism to be a big deal. For someone with such a famed enmity against capitalism, you’d likely premise he had some ghastly boss in his time, sufficient to build Dilbert and Office Space mixed look like a revelry of the free market. In actuality, Marx never held down a chore. But that didn’t signify he lived the humble, impoverished life of the proletariat, either — he actually experienced an extravagant lifestyle, mooching off his aristocratic partner, whose upper-class background he often boasted about, and sending his their children to expensive private schools.

Maintenance on that beard alone cost more than most working proles acquired in a month .

But his wife’s old money wasn’t his biggest source of income. A full-time life-style of philosophizing about financial was expensive to conserve, along with the vintage wines and bathtubs full of cocaine it probably involved, so its tremendous welfare checks were cut by his significantly richer friend, Friedrich Engels, who you might recognize as the lesser co-author of The Communist Manifesto , even though he did most of the work.

Marx did eventually get a job as a reporter for the New York Daily Tribune, but he couldn’t actually speak much English, which was OK because he never actually intended to write for them — what happened was Engels wrote essays for the working paper under Marx’s name, with the checks going to Marx. It was a win-win plan, because Marx get pay money doing good-for-nothing, while Engels … got to practice his English grammar, we suspect?

“I can’t facilitate but appear I’ve recognized a mistake in your beliefs, Karl.”

That wasn’t the only scam that Marx and Engels ran together with 100 percent of potential benefits going to Marx. Engels also embezzled money from his father’s company to give to Marx, at great risk to his own career and family. Maybe Engels’ biggest one-sided advantage was after Marx knocked up his housemaid and Engels claimed himself the parent to shunned his friend standing embarrassment. All thoughts considered, Engels was probably the world’s best friend that the world’s worst sidekick was possible to have.

# 4. Charles Dickens Was Kind Of A Dick

For a scribe who is best known for romances about assholes reading the error of their roads and becoming “peoples lives” around to act the best interests of humanity, follower was Charles Dickens himself a bigger shit than any attribute he was never wrote.

According to one biography, Dickens liked to entertain himself by bothering the inferno out of parties, like your worst acquaintance in college. He would walk up to beings in wall street and irk them with absurdity pranks, and would obnoxiously hit on women in ways that would have gotten him pepper-sprayed nowadays. On one reason, he picked a woman up without her permission and carried her down the beach, insinuating that he was going to kill her. This was all great recreation for Dickens, but less recreation for his wife.

The wife who accepted she was about to be abducted and murdered likely wasn’t tittering either .

Oh yes, he was married at the time. And his wife suffered from his assholery more than anyone. From referring to her as a “donkey, ” to smacking on teenage daughters in plain sight, he was emotionally abusive enough that he’d be right at home in a Charles Dickens fiction. But, like “theyre saying”, the best writers write what they know.

Probably this symbolize he made her sweep chimneys and live on exclusively portioned gruel .

The worst chapter in their nightmare wedding was when Dickens, aged 45 and with nine teenagers, started having an occasion with 18 -year-old actress Ellen Ternan. Dickens deterred the occasion secret for fear that it would destroy his reputation. This became more difficult as time went on, due to complications such as them designing a child together.

Eventually, the deceit became too spending for him, but rather than purpose the circumstance, he divorced his wife, leaving her with a generous alimony but forbidding her access to their nine offsprings. He then spent the rest of his life talking to anyone who would listen about what a crappy mom she had been and how she was perhaps lunatic, just so he could keep the truth about his infidelity under wraps. All that is something that takes the punch out of the moral to A Christmas Carol .

# 3. Queen Victoria Was Just A Gigantic Person

It’s no secret that Queen Victoria was a little on the chubby side. But while nothing was ever for the purposes of the illusion that she could be mistaken for an Olsen twin, facts have recently come to light about just how big she was. Those facts involve the 2014 auction of her 52 -inch-waist underwear, who was allegedly can fit three parties comfortably.

We don’t just knowing that kind of parties were willing to shell out cold, hard cash — over $4,000, in fact — for Queen Victoria’s underthings. The purchasers opted to remain anonymous, but let’s just say that they’re now in control of a very large conversation piece or a cozy silk bed sheet.

Nothing like compensating the cost of a put-upon vehicle for captured farts from the 1860 s .

The auctioneer finely has pointed out that, by this object in her life, the queen “had eaten a lot more than most people could render to.” Apparently, the underwear was donated to her servants in her will, which is the least she could do to thank the team of people who likely had to help her into them every morning. Now your boss’ crappy Christmas cards don’t search so bad. Or they examine worse; we’re not sure.

And while we’re grossly body-shaming the monstrous of biography …

# 2. Napoleon Was A Normal-Sized Person, But He Had A Tiny Penis

We’ve already exposed that the idea of French despot Napoleon being really short is a demonstrably untrue superstition. He was actually somewhat above median in meridian and exactly took a cluster of photos alongside freakishly towering sentries that gave rise to the illusion. However, there may be another reason why Napoleon could have had a so-called “Napoleon complex.”

The artifact finely identified “Napoleon’s Item” was removed during his autopsy back in 1821 and hindered preserved by a clergyman until “its been” placed on display by the Museum Of French Art in 1927. In instance you don’t know what we’re speak about, it’s his dick. This enter is about Napoleon’s dick.

“My forwards artillery is none of your business.”

His minuscule dick, as it turns out. The British Tv line Dead Famous DNA started in search of the cherished artifact in 2014 and obtained it in New Jersey of all places, in the home of a private collector who is apparently unwilling to show it to exactly anyone, for reasonableness most people can probably understand.

Analysis of the item reveals that it is just under two inches in section. The owner admits that it is “very small” but also says that it is “perfect structurally, ” as if that’s any relief. The takeaway is that the dude was just jam-pack plural inches. No amazement he was angry all the time.

Who would’ve suspected he was trying to compensate for something .

To be fair to Mr. Bonaparte, most dicks get reasonably underwhelming on a cold day, so we can only imagine what happens after you lop them off and store them in a cup for nearly two centuries.

# 1. King Tut Was Highly Deformed Due To Inbreeding

Tutankhamun, affectionately nicknamed King Tut, is possibly the only Egyptian pharaoh other than Cleopatra that it is able to refer on a pop quiz. Even so, you probably only think of him as a person with a serpent on his hat who did The Bangles’ Egyptian tread. Tut wasn’t actually that important a figure in ancient Egyptian biography, and there are really simply two things we know about his life — he died young, likely a teenager, and he was incredibly deformed. These two facts are likely related.

Upon the uncovering of Tutankhamun’s tomb and mummy in 1922, it was noticed that all the decorates of the pharaoh pictured him carrying a stick. Although some represented him expending it as a weapon, so it was theorized at the time that he just liked making people with remains. Maybe he was just a dick that way.

Seems to fit with our experiences with busters who wander around uncovering their abs all day .

But further analysis of his body showed that he probably necessary a walking stick to get around at all, because he stood just about every physical deformity you can imagine.

Still doing better than ol’ Bonaparte, at the least .

See, the Egyptian royal family had kind of a predilection toward marrying their own siblings in order to keep the bloodline pure. This attire have all contributed to genetic deformities, and in Tutankhamun’s regrettable lawsuit, he fell out of the incest tree and slam every diverge on the way down. Studies present that he had: an extreme overbite, a club paw, a skeletal deformity announced Kohler disease, and exceptionally wide-eyed hips. On surface of that, he suffered a separated leg at some extent and contracted malaria.

No wonder his tomb contained an unusual number of statues intended as servants to help the pharaoh in the afterlife. He probably needed a dozen beings to help him get out of berth in the morning, and that was when his legs were still alive.
