LOL. Haven’t heard this in a long while… G’day Scott…! Also… ATR are back. “Having previously worked with Saul Williams, Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails, CX KIDTRONIK is an unstoppable and explosive MC as politically minded as the rest of ATR that bring his own element to the band.” (Note to self: Do more posts like you’re doing liner notes for an ’80s grindcore band… like Doom… who’ve finally hit the mainstream c/o filthy icon Lady Gaga and her ‘Telephone’. Also G.I.S.M.… Useless Blockades For the Corporate Sector!)

Writing in The Guinea Pigs (Penguin, 1974, Minuteman Press, 1981), John McGuffin (1942–2002) defines sensory deprivation as follows:
Sensory deprivation (SD) refers literally to the artificial deprivation of the senses – auditory, visual, tactile and kinesthetic. In connection with the Northern Ireland ‘guineapigs’ it meant (1) hooding prisoners prior to their interrogation; (2) constant use of a sound machine which produces ‘white noise’, a high pitched hissing, mushy sound; (3) long periods of immobilization, being forced to lean against a wall, legs wide apart with only the fingertips touching the wall; (4) little or no food or drink; and (5) being forced to wear loose overalls, several sizes too big. In addition, (6) prisoners were deprived of sleep for days on end; while not technically SD this accentuates the process. There is a purpose behind all these actions. Measures (1), (2), (3) and (5) cause visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile deprivation while measures (4) and (6) deprive the brain of oxygen and sugar necessary for normal functioning. In addition, measures (1), (4) and (6) may disturb the normal body metabolism.
That is probably the punkest jacket i’ve ever seen. More than likely custom made and ordered from Japan.
Do you mean Lady Gaga’s GISM jacket? I think it’s a knockoff.
