The .Gif Friday Post No. 842 – Dancing The Radioactive Flesh, Vintage Tagger & Jake Blues’ Brows
[Found here, here and I messed with Joliet Jake’s mugshots just because.]
More about the top one: From Mexican surrealist producer Luis Buñuel’s film Simón del Desierto (1965), the final scene in a nightclub (Café Milleti). Saint Simon Stylites is present, and so is the Devil. St. Simon asks “her” for the name of the dance, and the Devil replies, “Radioactive Flesh.”
The band is Los Sinners. [Scene starts at 41:18.]

Legible Graffiti
Mathieu Tremblin lives and works in Rennes and Arles, France, finds graffiti and enhances them for legibility (and sometimes the taggers return).
“As if tagging the city was about freedom, and drawing decorative letters about control, I wanted to find a project to turn “ugly tags” into something “beautiful”, but preserve the subversive part of language distortion.”
I find it interesting that the vandalism in France is indistinguishable from that in the US, and I wonder why.
