Hi Folks! 1. Guy Peellaert our love friend is dead in Paris on November 17 from an infection then a double heart attack following several years of self-dialysis (from a cancer which he had radically stopped since two years). Some sad few and us we have cheered him with a good glass of vodka (even those of us who did not drink usually alcohol) at 8 am near his mortuary skin --just before closing the coffin --then which we have followed it by car to the crematorium of the Cemetery of Père Lachaise. Here we have heard some of his favorite songs and fine words from his friends as the speech of Yvan Nabokov the publisher and the speech of Laurent Chalumeau the scriptwriter who made the revealation how the work "Las Vegas the big room" would have arisen from a disappointment of the loving groupie of Dolly Parton, in 1973. He slid in the boiler on Janis Joplin's voice... Bye Bye Bye Baby, Bye Bye!

FREE JULIEN COUPAT WITH HIS FRIENDS FROM TARNAC : THE TARNAC FIVE WHO STAY IMPRISONED BECAUSE THEIR RADICAL IDEAS AND HYPOTHESIS AND THEIR WAY OF LIFE ARE COMMON! They are not responsible of the problems of the French railroads. It is a manipulation. They risk 20 years for having done nothing in disagreement with the law. "Comité invisible" it is a collective signature such as Hakim Bey. It is a conceptual signature, a radical pot situationist and post communist concept, an essay in two words as integral poetry in real time of the life. "Comité" does not exist as a party: comité -- with our friends of discussing can be at a dinner, each one of us we are potentially a conceptual or a bare community, we all are "comités invisibles" in little committee! @ Tarnac there is no chief http://www.republique-des-lettres.fr/10585-comite-invisible.php (a very good text to be translated but by who?) http://www.tiqqun.info/ http://toulouse.indymedia.org/spip.php?article32000 http://www.soutien11novembre.org ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
