"The Overly Dramatic Truth" - El-P



This stencil says : "where is Guy-André Kieffer". Guy-André Kieffer is a journalist who disappeard in april 16th 2003 at Abidjan, Ivory Coast. His family doesn't know where is he and think that he have been kidnapped. You can have more informations about it on this wikipedia link.

Bonus Track : a live video of the song-title of this post. for once, a hip hop track but not a 50 cents-style hip hop ; El-P is the opposite of it by the texts and his music.

"Misirlou" - Martin Denny



This is a gluing. What is represented is called a Tiki. A tiki is a part of the old rock'n roll culture like the pin-ups, the cars.
It's represented by the "exotica" music (by Martin Denny for exemple) which is in fact the lounge music.

For a more historical and mythological point of view, let's read Wiki : "In Māori mythology, Tiki is the first man. In traditions from the East Coast of the North Island, the first human is a woman created by Tāne, god of forests. Usually her name is Hine-ahu-one. In other legends, Tāne makes the first man Tiki, then makes a wife for him.
In some West Coast versions, Tiki himself, as a son of Rangi and Papa, creates the first human by mixing his own blood with clay, and Tāne then makes the first woman. Sometimes Tūmatauenga, the war god, creates Tiki.
In another story the first woman is Mārikoriko. Tiki marries her and their daughter is Hine-kau-ataata.
In some traditions, Tiki is the penis of Tāne.
In fact, Tiki is strongly associated with the origin of the procreative act.
In Māori usage, the word 'tiki' is also the name given to large wooden carvings in roughly human shape."

"Spray Paint" - Black Flag



It make me think of an asian paint : the color, the figure in the center and the ornaments in the angles (like a lotus ?).

"Rock'n Roll" - Strychnine



The lettering is not original but someone who writes "Rock'N Roll" on a wall can't be bad (and deserves a little tribute).
