In the upcoming weeks The Demagogues will begin production of our own podcast and we need your help! In order to complete our vision for the intro, we ask that you record yourself vocalizing our treatise: “We the Demagogues of The Cargo Culte postulate that art is the central element in our conspicuous display of wealth, status and lineage among our elite class. Lacking talent and ideas of our own, the music and fashion of the dispossessed will provide the fuel for a new and syncretic identity for us, the colonial elites. To create the splendor of an entirely new culture and establish it’s credibility, we the Demagogues and you as our gentle patrons, will exploit and coopt the distinctive aspects of the autochthonous…documenting new myths of origin, new treatise cementing our special favor and establishing a new hierarchy…”

Code Of The Streets

It’s generally excepted, that when away from for an extended period from the population from which one would generally select their lovers, that all bets are off. Prison would certainly be an example…or perhaps the navy. San Francisco during the California Gold Rush of the mid 19th century would also be able to stake it’s claim. During a period when the surroundings were devoid of women, with the exception of a few highly in demand prostitutes, a man had to make due. Flying the red at the dance let the man in blue know that you were comfortable assuming the female role.

On Fear

         

 

      

Fear is at the root of man’s destruction of himself. Without Fear there is no blame. Without blame there is no conflict. Without conflict there is no destruction.

But there IS Fear: deep within the core of every human being it lurks like a monster, dark and intangible. Its outward effects are unmistakable. Its source is hidden.

The Eve of the Krampus

‘Tis the season, mädchen und jungen, to peruse the list of St. Nicholas, and determine just who has been good and who has been naughty.
If you have truly been good, do not worry. But if you have torn the wings off of flies, or pulled the whiskers of a cat for the sheer fun of it…BEWARE
for KRAMPUS is coming…
In Krampus’s court, you’ll not get a fair hearing. You will not receive the aid of a barrister. You can beg and plead for forgiveness and lament your wrongdoing, but it will not help you. You will feel the sting of the thorniest switch in my bundle.
After you’ve been sufficiently punished, I’ll decide whether or not you’ll be returned to your mommy and your daddy. I may decide to keep you on as my assistant. Children’s bad behavior is a growth industry. I’ll need a lot of help to keep up with all of the workload.
Mark my words, children: may a lump of coal in your stocking be the worst that happens to you this Jul. For those of you less fortunate, you will feel the torturous flames under your feet. Happy Holidays!
