UA Variety Hour – Germophilia Special Pt. 1

Yes, we’re airing a special episode before we air the first episode. When convention clashes with pragmatism, convention loses. This is part one of two!

The podcast overall has been officially dubbed “Underworld Amusements Variety Hour” and in part one of this very special episode we will be talking to some of the artists that are featured in the show opening at Germ Books in Philadelphia in August of 2009.

Segments transcribed from audio cassette sent by artist:

I always painted and drew. The first pictures that I made with a camera were of my many pets, 8 years old. They would die. I would bury them in the mountains behind my home, dig them up later and photograph them over and over again. One day my photographs were gone.

I went to art school, been a master printer, printed Weegee negs, gallery worker, archivist, film historian, exhibited my work, photo dealer, junk store manager.

Beauty and tragedy, that’s my pictures.

H.L. Mencken – The bard of Baltimore (wikipedia).

William Lindsay Gresham – The website I maintain archiving information about his work.
Egalitarianism – I rant about it. This guy does to, and it looks like a joke site (though it doesn’t seem to be one), where he takes all the most retarded ideas of egalitarians and presents them as a political platform.

Stacey Barich is a self-trained pin-up photographer, vintage hair guru and make-up artist who lives and works in Parkville, MD.
Armed with a camera, tube of red lipstick, snug pencil skirt, and devastatingly high heels, she’s on a one-woman mission to bring glamour and sex-appeal to the yoga-pants set. She wants modern girls to discover that their sexual power is their greatest asset, and shows them just how to unleash their inner bombshell in the privacy of her suburban home studio.

8mm Bondage Peeps – A torrent hosted on The Pritate Bay featuring clips I digitized from the collection of 8mm Films Stacey and your host purchased. As with most of the things I do, this is not safe for work unless you can watch bondage porn at work, then it’s very safe.
Art Frahm – A study on the effects of celery on loose elastic.
NONE – I wanted to find a link describing Erotic Chrystallization Intertia
