John Wild anarchitect, activist, and psychogeographical explorer of data
space will be transmitting a pirate radio signal, from a secret location
in the Kings X area, constructed from locative data collected on the
previous king x drift. A radio located in Housmans book shop will be tuned
to the audio broadcast.?
"Walking through London is a melancholy experience. The phantom of an
invented, slickly choreographed future haunts the landscape. Where are
these photoshopped families, the joyful inhabitants of the yuppiedromes?
They are not here yet, but their avatars stalk us.Amidst the rubble and
chaos, Polish construction workers in luminous garb skip in and out of
vans for papers and fags. Oily leatherskins deconstruct the rusting heaps.
Sometimes there's a group of kids with a nicked scooter, always the same,
taking apart, a destructive urge, parts examined and strewn across the
Greenway path. The area is cut, examined, destroyed, not rebuilt but cast
off as parts hurled across a flat expanse. The sewage pipe was the
conduit, it sliced through the wreckage and gave a gods eye view across
the marshlands.
IN THE WORST NIGHT OF RIOTING LONDON HAS SEEN SINCE THE POLL TAX, HOODLUMS
LOOTED AND BURNT THE BRAND NEW EURO STAR TERMINAL AT ST PANCRAS. RIOTERS
WERE WITNESSED HURLING THEMSELVES THROUGH WINDOWS AND RANSACKING SHOPS
ONLY TO SMASH, BURN AND DESTROY THEM. A spokesman for Eurostar said he'd
never seen wanton vandalism on such a scale but assured customers that
services would resume normally as swiftly as possible. "We won't be
sidetracked by a few mindless thugs". The rioters left chilling messages
in spray paint across the gleaming terminal building and promised to
return. The metropolitan police failed to catch the rioters as they
disappeared into the network of service tunnels and escaped through
ventilation shafts, " The horses couldn't follow them there."

SAVAGE MESSIAH CALLS FOR AN INVASION OF THE ST.PANCRAS EURO TERMINAL!!!

"Savage Messiah is like Heronbone with politics and pictures, Burial's
London in words and image instead of sound. The collage form - text,
photographs, Laura's own drawings - decomposes London from seamless,
already-established capitalist reality into a riot of potentials, the city
rediscovered as a site for drift and daydreams, a labyrinth of
side-streets and spaces resistant to the process of gentrification and
'development' set to culminate in the miserable synchronized SF Capital
festival of 2012."Mark
