True cultural dissidents of their time, this is one of the only bands that has truly earned that terminology. Emerging in the late 60's in soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia, their music was literally band, forcing the members to hold secret jam sessions and concerts that were often busted or ended in riots. Even their name is a remembrance of living under the rule of a foreign occupation. These guys really deserve a Pivo!

The Other Venice Film Festival 2008
One of the most energy conscious communities of Southern California, Venice beach plays host to the ONLY solar powered film festival on the planet. Boasting 90 films, live music, art shows and more, this is an amazing feat when you think about it. The call for alternative energy sources can be heard across the globe, and the challenge has been met and conquered by this festival.
Time: Oct 9 - 12 (see schedule)

Red Forest
Walking into the Ukrainian Red Forest, artists Eundayo and Johnny "KMNDZ" draw comparisons between what is considered the most radioactive place on the planet, and effects of decadence upon American Society. After the passing of the AIG bail-out and the recent actions of our current administration, I think it is clear how crippling greed can really be.

This UK soul sista is the re-incarnation of Ella, Sarah, Billy, and Nina all in one. One would never expect that this blond Brit beauty could have such a bold and soulful voice. In short the girl has got a silver set of pipes that will make you get down, shake it, and beg for Mercy.

Androgynous sex. A modern take on traditional Japanese Art, female artist Yamaguchi paints half-clad figures with little to no distinction between the sexes. These wide-eyed, doll-like children are often in sexually explicit scenes and position. You can find a plethora of products with Yamaguchi's art, including notebooks, jewelry, postcards, etc.
