Ugh, earlier this week on the train after work, these two reeking juggalos came on-board and proceeded to loudly rap through ICP's hits. Longest 30 minutes of my life, though I'm not entirely sure if they didn't repeat some jams.

An unnamed agent in the Salt Lake City FBI’s Safe Streets/Gang Unit wrote to his or her superior on March 15, 2011 that “Juggalo crimes” in several states included “drug sales, possession and child endangerment,” which fit a pattern of “crimes typically seen by gangs or gang members.”

sorry but lol

I could watch hours of this, in a "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" kind of way.

Eek... sorry; I didn't realize even the screencap would be NSFW...

I could watch hours of this

otm, this is amazing

Yeah, I loved that.

'i wanna find a skinny-ass little bitch, and make her fat, then we can lose weight together, and we'll bond'

that doc is amazing - this is what america is going to look like after the fall

that is what america looks like after the fall

felt for that 21-yr-old virgin who can't get lucky because he's crazy and likes stabbing people.

"we've got alcohol and we've got explosives. let me show you how great we are."

Maybe it was edited to highlight it, but it was interesting how uniform and on-message all the Juggalos were, like they'd been given juggalo media training classes or something. Made them vaguely cult-like. Beware a long-term "Gathering" in the Guyanese jungle.

FA-MIL-Y! FA-MIL-Y! WOOT WOOT!

Love that record scratch moment at the 14th minute when the dude raps about violent stuff, i mean, I get that ICP is about horrorcore but after all the 'family' and 'good times' messages leading to that, it works very well.

Midlife crises

Lately, Violent J said, he has been seeing a psychiatrist and taking medication to help him cope with the persistent feeling that he can never turn off the pressures of work.

god, to be a fly on the wall of his therapy sessions

"maybe it's time we talk about the face paint, violent."

Be great if the psychiatrist was a Juggalo.

"You look familiar."

"I'm just a simple local musician, ma'am."

I'd hope they would both be wearing their Juggalo makeup, were that the case. Maybe Violent J could incorporate a greasepaint moustache as a disguise.

DOES ANYONE IN THIS BITCH LIKE SCP

HAS ANYONE IN THIS BITCH TRIED ECT

It’s not that Middle America will be won over to Juggalo culture. It’s that Juggalo culture and its detachment from mainstream institutions will come to increasingly define an America with a permanent underclass that neither hopes to nor can improve its lot.

To be sure, this is far from an ideal outcome. But it’s not the worst of all possible worlds, either. For all their devotion to lyrics glorifying mindless violence and stunted sexuality, Juggalos aren’t the amoral nihilists their detractors make them out to be. The accoutrements of the Juggalo lifestyle aren’t free, and even if they’re not in careers with upward trajectories, interviews with Juggalos reflect that many if not most of them have regular jobs. (ICP’s lyrics include this explanation: “[A Juggalo] graduated from…well / At least, he got a job / He’s not a dumb putz / He works for himself scratching his nuts.”) And while it’s not the Mosaic code, Juggalos do have an ethical code that includes respecting the property and persons of other Juggalos, a theme the Insane Clown Posse themselves stress in interviews.

The pictures that Murray and Cowen paint of America’s future are not hopeful—and both are loath to offer prescriptions. But if we are on an inexorable path to where a large swath of our countrymen are unmoored from the bourgeois virtues, kith, and kin, a commitment to the “Juggalo family” may be better than no commitment at all.

There are lots of ways to translate "straight-up bullshit" into legal terms, but these are the three specifically alleged in the complaint.

that picture actually reminds me of a GTA screenshot for some reason

I heard Eminem make some Juggalo/ICP mentions on his latest but didn't delve too deeply into it all. Does he approve of them now, maybe showing mutual civic pride, or is it a continuation of a feud, or what?

https://reverb.com/news/dutch-avant-jazz-pianist-and-innovator-misha-mengelberg-dies-at-81

Misha Mengelberg, piano luminary in the Dutch free jazz scene and co–founder of the Instant Composers Pool, died in Amsterdam today at the age of 81.

Mengelberg rose to eminence starting in the late 1960s at the nexus of the Fluxus and free jazz movements. His first recording appearance happens to be on one of the most consequential albums for the Netherlands’ budding jazz scene, playing piano on Eric Dolphy’s Last Date recorded less than a month before Dolphy’s own passing.

Dolphy found loving audiences in the Netherlands, and Mengelberg was among the key Dutch players finding inspiration for a native scene. The Dutch avant jazz scene, revolving around venues like the Bimhuis, would go on to become one of the most vibrant in Europe, thanks in large part to Mengelberg.

Mengelberg helped form the Instant Composers Pool out of a Fluxus impulse, alongside percussionist Han Bennink and saxophone player Willem Breuker. The ICP resembled the American avant jazz collective Association for Advancement of Creative Music in form, featuring a rotating cast of improvisers, including the AACM’s own members like George Lewis.

Through the ICP Orchestra and in collaboration with fellow innovators like Peter Brotzman, Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy, and Anthony Braxton, Mengelberg helped stake out a distinctly European free improvisation language steeped in space, careful listening, and a very Dutch free-wheeling and sometimes tongue–in–cheek attitude.

Mengelberg drew from Thelonious Monk and John Cage alike to create an a lyrical, impressionistic improvisation style all his own. His was a sound always ringing with jazz’s past, always aimed at the future, experienced best in the present.

i interviewed him once -- he would have liked being feted in this thread i think (certainly more than he would have liked that obit, which is made of cliche)

(vivid memory of a moment in a show he did -- company week 1987 maybe? not sure -- with han bennink, and bennink ceasing to batter his drums for a moment and lumbering the piano to delicately place a small mickey mouse figurine at the end of misha's keyboard)
