			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26299" title="kim main" src="http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/kim-main-284x223.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="223" />En Corée du Nord, Michaël Jackson est un illustre inconnu, la radio et le métro diffusent en boucle des hymnes révolutionnaires, et il n&#8217;y a pas de clubs pour bouger sa graisse (on apprend toutes ces choses, et bien d&#8217;autres, sur le blog rigolo du Guardian <em><a href=" http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/series/pyongyang-goes-pop" target="_blank">Pyongyang goes Pop</a></em>).</p>
<p>Pourtant, ce n&#8217;est pas faute d&#8217;avoir eu un leader mélomane : feu Kim Jong-Il était une fine oreille doublée d&#8217;un compositeur d&#8217;opéras. C&#8217;est en tout cas ce qu&#8217;il faut croire à la lecture de sa notice &#8220;<em><a href="http://www.naenara.com.kp/fr/juche/great.php?great+1+1-23" target="_blank">Le dirigeant Kim Jong-Il, génie de la littérature et des arts</a></em>&#8220;, disponible en français sur l&#8217;excellent site de propagande Naenara. Jong-Il en aurait ainsi écrit et dirigé plusieurs, mais attention pas n&#8217;importe lesquels : des opéras révolutionnaires, œuvres lyriques mélangeant des influences de l&#8217;opéra classique chinois, des chants traditionnels coréens <em>pangchang</em> (chant hors-scène) et les meilleurs passages de la doctrine socialiste de son paternel Kim Il-Sung (<a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche  " target="_blank">doctrine du <em>juche</em></a>). Par contre, le site Naenara évite curieusement de parler des ravages de la dynastie Kim, au pouvoir à Pyongyang depuis 1972 : <a href="http://bigbrowser.blog.lemonde.fr/2011/12/20/temoins-derriere-la-propagande-le-vrai-visage-de-la-coree-du-nord/" target="_blank">famine, culte du chef, goulag et terreur policière</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-26290"></span></p>
<p>Ces <a href="http://www.koryogroup.com/dprk_opera.php" target="_blank">opéras révolutionnaires</a>, le répertoire nord-coréen en compte cinq, aux livrets aussi désopilants les uns que les autres : <em>Une véritable fille du parti</em> raconte le destin d&#8217;une militante pendant la guerre d&#8217;indépendance, <em>Mer de sang</em> évoque la haine coréenne de l&#8217;ennemi impérialiste japonais, tandis que <em>La femme-fleur</em> est dédié à une Causette locale qui choisit la voie du socialisme. Bref, ça rigole sec à l&#8217;opéra de Pyongyang.</p>

<p>Alors pour rendre hommage à un amoureux de la bonne musique, quoi de mieux que quelques titres qui résument sa carrière ?</p>
<p><em>Le mont Paektu</em> a pour thème le point culminant du pays, montagne sacrée de la mythologie coréenne où serait né le leader, tandis que <em>Grâce à Kim Jong-Il le pays est rempli d&#8217;allégresse</em> et <em>Notre camarade Kim Jong-Il </em>se passent de commentaire.</p>

<p>Ils sont interprétés par le <a href="http://www.myspace.com/pochonboelectronic" target="_blank">Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble</a>, l&#8217;un des deux orchestres populaires autorisés en Corée du Nord (avec Wangjaesan, mais qui est un peu tricard depuis l&#8217;an dernier suite à une vidéo montrant <a href="http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/northkorea/2009/11/02/0401000000AEN20091102002500315.HTML" target="_blank">ses danseuses court-vêtues bougeant sur de la pop US)</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[<img src='http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/shic-post-thumbnail/IP2C2j.jpg'/><p>En Hongrie, on ne déconne pas avec les bonnes moeurs: un titre d'Ice-T et on vous envoie les flics.</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-13186" title="ice_t_coco_121207" src="http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ice_t_coco_121207-284x514.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="514" />Que ceux qui le pensaient fini, dépassé, émasculé tel un gros chat eunuque et voué à ne plus faire parler de lui que par la voix de l&#8217;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_Tutuola" target="_blank">Inspecteur Tutuola</a> se rassurent: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-T" target="_blank">Ice-T</a> fait encore peur. En tout cas, il fait peur au gouvernement hongrois. Une radio de Budapest a eu le malheur de diffuser <em>It&#8217;s On</em> &#8211; tiré de l&#8217;album <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Invasion_(album)" target="_blank">Home Invasion</a></em> de 1993 -, dont les lyrics certes assez peu tendres (&#8220;<em>It&#8217;s on motherfucker and you can&#8217;t turn the shit off/Catch you in the streets and your ass&#8217;ll get tossed</em>&#8220;) ont très fortement déplu à la toute nouvelle Autorité nationale des médias et des communications (NMHH).</p>
<p>Du coup, pour la radio en question, l&#8217;ambiance est moyennement détendue, puisqu&#8217;elle est sous le coup d&#8217;une enquête. Ses dirigeants ont eu beau assurer que la plupart de l&#8217;argot employé par l&#8217;Ice-Berg dans <em>It&#8217;s On</em> n&#8217;allait certainement pas parler aux auditeurs locaux, ils vont très certainement ramasser un joli PV.</p>
<p>Car, depuis quelques mois, la Hongrie a décidé de resserrer un peu la vis niveau liberté de la presse. D&#8217;où la création de cette fameuse NMHH, intégralement composée de membres du parti majoritaire hongrois, le Fidesz, et dirigée par Annamaria Szalai, proche du riant premier ministre Viktor Orban. Le lancement de ce super-CSA s&#8217;accompagne de la promulgation d&#8217;un texte de loi visant à préserver &#8220;l&#8217;intérêt public, l&#8217;ordre public et la morale&#8221;. Les médias qui ne suivraient pas cette ferme injonction à ne pas trop l&#8217;ouvrir peuvent se voir gratifier d&#8217;une amende allant de 91.000 euros pour la presse écrite à près de 700.000 euros pour les radios et télévisions.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-13188" title="Ice_T_-_Home_Invasion_-_front" src="http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Ice_T_-_Home_Invasion_-_front-284x284.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="284" />Les journalistes peuvent être en outre sommés de livrer leurs sources, voire de soumettre leur papier à la relecture avant publication si la NMHH le leur demande. Les récalcitrants, vous l&#8217;aurez compris, récolteront les amendes évoquées plus haut. Là où ça devient très drôle, c&#8217;est que pour pouvoir contester lesdites amendes en justice, les journaux/radios/télés touchés devront d&#8217;abord les payer. Autant dire, pour beaucoup de titres, mettre la clé sous la porte. Le tout fait un plutôt joli tableau à l&#8217;heure où la Hongrie assure la présidence tournante de l&#8217;UE.</p>
<p>Et Ice-T, nous direz-vous ? Il est ravi, forcément, de voir le merdier que sème ce que la blogosphère hip hop a rebaptisé le <em>Ice-T Gate</em>. &#8220;<em>J&#8217;adore ça ! Le monde a encore peur de moi</em>&#8220;, a-t-il lancé sur Twitter. Ca aura au moins fait un heureux.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<img src='http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/shic-post-thumbnail/R1ASK3.jpg'/><p>Une secte de gamins de Manchester entame une révolution masquée.</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7317" title="wu-lyf-2" src="http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wu-lyf-2-284x212.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="212" />Dans la catégorie &#8220;Vous allez en bouffer toute l&#8217;année&#8221; WU LYF s&#8217;annonce peut être comme les successeurs des bêtes de somme que sont The XX. Une fois n&#8217;est pas coutume, la raison du buzz réside principalement dans l&#8217;absence quasi totale d&#8217;informations sur le groupe. Une page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/WU-LYF/168451759016?v=info" target="_blank">Facebook sans intérêt</a>, un <a href="http://www.myspace.com/trubluloveyu" target="_blank">Myspace sans le moindre titre en écoute</a>, uniquement une présentation décousue de la &#8220;Lucifer Youth Foundation&#8221; dont ils se réclament.</p>
<p>Sur leur <a href="http://wulyf.org/" target="_blank">site web</a>, la vidéo étrange de <em>Spitting it Concrete Like The Golden Sun God</em> balancée en plein écran, on y voit une bande de yankees exploser une tribu indigène. Une fois la vidéo terminée, plus rien.</p>
<p>De là, je cherche un peu sur le net, je tombe sur le site <a href="http://worldunite.org/" target="_blank">World Unite</a>, accessible uniquement via mot de passe. Je me démerde comme je peux pour trouver le mot de passe, Maradona. J&#8217;y trouve un mp3 perdu dans une multitude de collages foutraques.</p>
<p>Ce que l&#8217;on sait: WU LYF (pour World Unite/Lucifer Youth Foundation) sont quatre mais peut être plus et viennent de Manchester. Et c&#8217;est à peu près tout.</p>
<p>Musicalement on pense à <a href="http://www.spiritualized.com/" target="_blank">Spiritualized</a> ou <a href="http://www.brainwashed.com/godspeed/" target="_blank">Godspeed You! Black Emperor</a> avec au chant, un chat égorgé.</p>
<p>Une interview accordée à Libé (uniquement parce que c&#8217;est un journal de gauche) est disponible <a href="http://festivals.blogs.liberation.fr/ete/2010/07/wu-lyf-midifestival.html" target="_blank">ici</a>.</p>
<p>Une secte masquée de foulards blancs, aux références mystiques et aux accents révolutionnaire. Véritables petits génies dans l&#8217;art de cultiver le mystère, on se demande si on a affaire à un collectif de brillants situationnistes ou d&#8217;une simple bande de branlos. La démarche n&#8217;est pas sans rappeler celle du collectif techno <a href="http://www.undergroundresistance.com/" target="_blank">Underground Resistance</a>. Mais là où UR marchait dans l&#8217;ombre pour protéger leur culture, WU LYF le clame haut et fort &#8220;If there is something to steal, steal it&#8221;. La révolution est d&#8217;ores et déjà en marche.</p>
<p>Le <a href="http://midi-festival.com/" target="_blank">MIDI Festival</a> à Hyères a eu le nez creux en bookant leur première date en France, qui selon la rumeur n&#8217;aurait laissé personne indemne.</p>
<p>Rough Trade serait sur les rangs pour les signer.</p>
<p>On va enfin arrêter d&#8217;entendre parler de The XX.</p>

<p>Il a été réalisé et envoyé au groupe par un fan anonyme, en réaction au sommet du G20 à Toronto, en juin dernier.</p>
<p>Juste histoire de signaler au passage que cette année <a href="http://www.myspace.com/brokensocialscene" target="_blank">BSS</a> est shortlisté pour le prix <a href="http://www.polarismusicprize.ca/home/" target="_blank">Polaris</a> (les Victoires de la Musique canadiennes, sans Nagui et avec des bons groupes) aux cotés de <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thebesnardlakes" target="_blank">The Besnard Lakes</a>, <a href="http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/caribou-interview/" target="_blank">Caribou</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/karkwa" target="_blank">Karkwa</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/danmangan" target="_blank">Dan Mangan</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/teganandsara" target="_blank">Tegan and Sara</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/laradioradio" target="_blank">Radio Radio</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thesadies" target="_blank">The Sadies</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shad" target="_blank">Shad</a> et <a href="http://www.myspace.com/owenpallettmusic" target="_blank">Owen Pallett</a>.</p>
<p>Perso je prend le risque et parie une couille sur une victoire écrasante de Caribou. Verdict en septembre.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5942" title="repuglicans-boom_02bis" src="http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/repuglicans-boom_02bis-284x438.jpg" alt="" width="284" height="438" />Grande est l’envie de voir dans le merveilleux monde des comics un tout petit peu plus qu’une succession assez réjouissante de mecs en costumes bottant sévèrement le fondement des vilains.<span id="more-5898"></span> <br />
 Lecture sociale, psychanalytique, <a href="http://tourriol.wordpress.com/2010/03/16/super-heros-anges-de-la-mythologie-urbaine/" target="_blank">théologique</a>… Tout est bon.</p>
<p>Certains en ont même fait une analyse politique. Et elle faisait jusqu’ici plutôt pencher les capes à droite : tentations crypto-fachisantes de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_%28comics%29" target="_blank">Rorschach</a> ou du <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Com%C3%A9dien_%28Watchmen%29" target="_blank">Comédien</a> chez les Watchmen, autoritarisme de <a href="http://www.jstor.org/pss/3792469" target="_blank">Batman</a> ou encore patriotisme exacerbé chez <a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh148/nurgh/CaptainAmericaPatriotism.jpg" target="_blank">Captain America</a>. Mais tout ça, c’est du passé.</p>
<p>Ces jeunes chiens fous de <a href="http://www.boom-studios.net/" target="_blank">BOOM ! Studios</a> ont décidé qu’ils en avaient assez de la droite, et qu’ils la traiteraient désormais &#8220;superhero-style&#8221; : à grands coups de lattes. D’où la naissance récente de <a href="http://www.newsarama.com/comics/boom-conservative-controversy-repuglicans-100215.html" target="_blank">&#8220;Repuglicans&#8221;</a>, contraction de Républicains et d’ &#8220;ugly&#8221; (&#8220;moche&#8221;, en VF).</p>
<p>Dans ce comic-book, Sarah Palin est un vampire, Glenn Beck – la voix ultra-conservatrice de Fox News – est un zombie et John McCain un truc à trois yeux assez peu ragoûtant. Sur plus de 120 pages, tout le sérail de la far-right y passe.</p>
<p>Un freak-show signé par l’artiste Pete Von Sholly et le très engagé Steve Tatham, qui pose d’emblée les choses sur le site de l’éditeur : &#8220;C’est injuste et déséquilibré&#8221;. C’est assez marrant, aussi.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to this australian ad, when you&#8217;re stuck in an awkward situation, KFC is the answer. Ok but what is so awkward about being surrounded by a crowd of happy, cheering people at a cricket game? Maybe the dude doesn&#8217;t like cricket, you never know.<span id="more-2025"></span></p>
<p>So ok, the guy has the answer, he grabs a big bucket of fried chicken, and this fried chicken is going to get him out of an awkward situation. You might think &#8220;Yeah the guy loves fried chicken, KFC makes him happy!&#8221; and that&#8217;s when it goes even stranger: the chicken is not even for him but for the crowd around him. Yes, the happy cheering people attending a cricket game who for some reason, create an awkward situation and have a mysterious connection with fried chicken.</p>
<p>Now what is so awkward about this people? And why on earth are they supposed to love fried chicken more than the guy with the Aussie shirt?</p>
<p>Because this ad is racist.</p>
<p>
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="608" height="480" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FftZt-Dw_hQ&amp;hl=fr_FR&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="608" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FftZt-Dw_hQ&amp;hl=fr_FR&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
</p>
<p>Some comments on the video are pretty interesting:</p>
<p><em>Americans might think this is racist because black people﻿ eating fried chicken is a stereotype that exists in their country. This ad was shown during cricket matches between Australia and the West Indies. If England had been playing at the time, the ad would have shown the bloke feeding chicken to the Barmy Army to make them sit down and shut up. There&#8217;s no racism intended or perceived in Australia. The complaints I&#8217;ve seen have come from Americans guilty about they treat people in their country</em></p>
<p>So there&#8217;s actually people thinking that using the stereotype of black people eating fried chicken is racist in the U.S, but it&#8217;s just good clean fun in Australia.</p>
<p>Well here&#8217;s some other Aussie fun moment on TV, the great performance of a Jackson 5 parody group with funny make up. I guess american singer and actor Harry Connick Jr should not be shocked but understand that the Blackface thing is just racist in his country, in Australia it&#8217;s funny and aired on national TV.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1550" title="new world order poster" src="http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/new-world-order1-284x426.jpg" alt="new world order poster" width="284" height="426" />I&#8217;m not afraid to say it, I&#8217;m a conspirationist. I don&#8217;t believe that Bruce Lee is dead nor that Jamie Lee Curtis is actually a woman and to me, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxAMl5tkeEk" target="_blank">Sonic Youth&#8217;s appearance on Gossip Girl</a> was fake (they can do crazy shit with computers nowadays).</p>
<p><em><a href="http://newworldorderthemovie.com/" target="_blank">New World Order</a></em> is a documentary by Luke Meyr and Andrew Neel about people into conspiracy theorys such as &#8220;9/11 as an inside job&#8221;, &#8220;The Bilderberg group is a secret group meant to rule the world&#8221; and more recently &#8220;Climate change is a hoax&#8221;.<span id="more-1547"></span></p>
<p>The film mainly focuses on the most charismatic figure of the movement, Alex Jones, a Texas-based radio host and documentary filmmaker that is generally considered either a hero or a total wacko, depending on which side you belong to. However, the point of the film is to not take any sides and only depict the life of these people, from a non-judgemental perspective.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1036" title="bands fighting for the end og guantanamo " src="http://the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/feature_4_musicians-284x153.jpg" alt="bands fighting for the end og guantanamo " width="284" height="153" />What&#8217;s the common denominator between Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, REM, Billy Bragg, Roseanne Cash, Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne and Steve Earle? They all stood against Guantanamo (also called by the military personnal &#8220;Gitmo&#8221;) because of the use of music as a torture tool in military interrogations!<span id="more-1035"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1040" title="rage against the machine dressed as guantanamo prisoners" src="http://the-drone.com/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/rage276-152x84.jpg" alt="rage against the machine dressed as guantanamo prisoners" width="152" height="84" />For those who had the chance to see Rage Against The Machine during their tour last summer, you probably saw them dressed like prisoners opening their act with a minute of silence. Well, last October, the 20th, they  launched  <a href="http://closegitmonow.org/" target="_blank">&#8220;Close Gitmo Now&#8221;</a> with bands mentionned above and retired generals who supported Obama&#8217;s plan to close the jail during the election.</p>
<p>Banned by the UN and the European Court of Human Rights, <a href="http://www.sibetrans.com/trans/trans10/cusick_eng.htm" target="_blank">Music Torture</a> had been used to break down muslim prisonners blasting loud heavy metal! It&#8217;s been reported the following songs have been played loudly and constantly to prisonners:</p>
<p><em>David Gray&#8217;s Babylon, Metallica&#8217;s Enter Sandman, Don McLean&#8217;s American Pie, Queen&#8217;s We Will Rock You, songs by REM, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Bruce Springsteen, and even theme tunes from Sesame Street!</em></p>
<p>Check out this 24 minutes short documentary, it gives you a good idea about the camp:</p>

<p>Released in 2007, <em>&#8220;The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism&#8221;</em>, bestselling book of the canadian writer and columnist <a href="http://www.naomiklein.org/">Naomi Klein</a>, has been the starting point of already two films. A short documentary promoting the book release and conducted by the mexican director Jonás Cuarón (watch below). The UK film by the famous director of &#8220;24 Hour Party People&#8221;, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935863/">Michael Winterbottom</a>, that was premiered at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival.<span id="more-826"></span></p>
<p>Now, two months after Michael Moore&#8217;s new movie <a href="http://www.capitalismalovestory.com/ ">&#8220;Capitalism: A love story&#8221;</a>, british director Euan Preston is releasing on DVD a third attempt: a recorded lecture of Naomi Klein. &#8221;The Rise of Disaster Capitalism&#8221; features <a href="http://www.naomiklein.org/main">Naomi Klein</a> (also the author of &#8220;No Logo&#8221; and &#8220;Fences and Windows&#8221;) explaining the ideas and research behind her theory of the Shock Doctrine.</p>

<p>Making the analogy of electroconvulsive therapy (also known as electroshock) used to cure schizophrenia in the 40&#8242;s, and what she calls now the &#8220;Shock Doctors&#8221;, basicaly men of power &#8220;shoking&#8221; the masses, she&#8217;s making pretty clear that these technics used on human beings may also work on societies.</p>
