Walter Pearce revolutionized casting in the New York fashion industry as the casting director for the early Hood by Air shows before co-founding the Midland Agency. Recently, however, Walter has gotten hella BASED! Off opiates, he felt serious discontent with the liberalism of the fashion industry. He has now been posting memes, throwing bombs, quoting Adam and Benedict Cryptofash, and brings a refreshing perspective to the System of Systems oeuvre. 

Also, we should mention that this is the beginning of System of Systems 2.0. From here on out, we will start evolving our aesthetic visually, as well as appropriating our favorite based music.

This show's soundtrack:

CryptoFASHionable (w/ Walter Pearce)

A long sought-after guest joins System of Systems to discuss a number of artistic, philosophical, and political topics. Adam and the writer, critic and philosopher DC Miller became internet-linked after Adam demonstrated public interest in DC's writing. The result was that Adam was fired from The Quietus, where he wrote a regular column on the noise music underground and critical theory, and lost a number of other writing contracts. How did DC become such a controversial figure? Well, it mostly stems from the extreme Antifa-led overreaction to the now defunct British gallery LD50 and its 2017 exhibition that examined the imagery of what was then being called the alt-right and hosted talks by thinkers like Nick Land and Brett Stevens. DC heroically defended the gallery's right to tackle sensitive ideas and art. For that commitment to freedom of expression and fundamental enlightenment values, DC lost all of his positions in the art world. Seemingly overnight, he went from a known regular art critic for Frieze and Art Monthly to persona non grata.

But we believe that DC is among the most misunderstood thinkers and creative people currently in the discourse. Though Adam and DC do have some differences in their view points, they also agree on a lot, specifically when it comes to diagnosing what is WRONG in our culture. In this chat, DC and Adam discuss art, psyops, the left, the elite, and recent work by the writer. DC recently wrote a response article to the essay that Adam published, 'Marxist Defends the Great Reactionaries,' that will be also published by American Greatness soon. DC is now publishing regularly on his Substack, is a contributing editor to im1776, and also publishes with The Conservative Woman. Enjoy the show!

In this new episode, Morbid Books editor  and writer Lev Parker joins the show for the second time, this time bringing along none other than the divine philosopher and poet Nina Power, who of course just wrote a beautiful afterword for Adam's new book 'Communions'. A wide variety of topics are addressed, from the middle class tendency towards being a micro-cop, to gender extremism, to the role for art against such dismal sociopolitics.

Lev has a new novel out called '4th Industrial Revolution Pimp' that none other than NY-based transgressive writer Supervert has called "the first great work of Covid literature." Nina's new book is coming out in early 2022, 'What Do Men Want?' finds Nina exploring the dilemma held by men in the 21st Century.

Ready to Fight (W/ Udith Dematagoda)

Adam speaks with American harsh noise master Worth, aka William Van Gorder, who has a new record on White Centipede Noise called Sacred Violence Noise. Will recorded the album while on residency in Thailand, and throughout the conversation relays the experiences he had there and in his Southeast Asia journey more broadly. What is it like to make noise for an audience that has no fucking clue what is happening? MAGIC! Duh. 

Talking about Thailand and Southeast Asia leads these two artists to discussion of another shared interest: writer New Juche. Juche is also an artist who finds transcendence in beauty in abjection and decay – the decay of the Southeast Asian landscape, and the abjection in his own perverse sexual habits.

During Art Basel Miami Beach 2022, Hadrian Belove asked Adam to meet up with him at Soho House, where he was with two young ladies Eva and Elena Sullivan. When Adam arrived, he was immediately taken with the gals' intelligence and savvy. Turns out, Eva and Elena are fashion designers behind the new brand Sullivan, which creates beautiful and elegant clothing for women at a price point that is much less depressing than something like, say, The Row.

Given that we seldom discuss fashion around here despite an interest in the industry, who better to come on than Eva and Elena. The girls discuss the absence of creative vision in the algorithmically driven modern fashion industry, and explain what they're doing to combat the trend towards "aspirational mid" that plagues modern beauty standards.

Aspirational Mid (w/ Eva and Elena Sullivan)

Max Julian Eastman is a noise musician known for recording music under his own name and with projects like Greathumour and Tantric Death as well as the proprietor of what we consider to be one of the best American noise labels currently in existence. In contra to countless other labels that endlessly put out everything that comes out of "the scene", Max approaches Tribe Tapes with an aesthetic and conceptual theory. There is a general sense of discovery here, with reissues of artists that you certainly have never heard of, and a strong, unmistakable visual aesthetic. A welcome addition to the Counter-Agency of the Avant-Garde, indeed. 

Max discusses the label, his label's reissuing of classics from the late Marco Corbelli's Slaughter Productions label, the avant-garde and post-punk beginning of industrial and noise music, Smell and Quim, Atrax Morgue, the Haters, and much much more.

Communication Medium(W/ Max Julian Eastman)

Writers Audrey Szasz and Thomas Moore have both just released new novels for Philip Best's Amphetamine Sulphate. Audrey's novel is called Counterillumination, a wildly psychedelic collection of prose where agents and counter-agents wage psychological warfare upon one another against an abstract dystopic landscape. It's rather hard to describe so I suggest you just read it. Thomas's new book is Your Dreams – perhaps the author's best exploration of the human need for connection and understanding with a protagonist forced to come to terms with a friend's disturbing desires.

The three of us discuss those new books, as well as writing on drugs, Arnold Schwarzenegger, chatGPT and artificial intelligence, pornographic intake, the pornification of culture, and much more.

Adam has been re-reading David Keenan's historical biography on the rise of Industrial Music, England's Hidden Riverse, after it was re-published with extended material over the summer. That book primarily looks at the rise and legacies of Coil, Nurse with Wound, and Current 93 (and suspiciously, only passingly mentions Douglas Pearce and Death in June.) There is also, however, a plethora of material dedicated to William Bennett and what led the British artist to create the pioneering power electronics project Whitehouse.

Formed by Bennett in 1980 and joined by Philip Best in the '80s and Peter Sotos in the '90s, Whitehouse developed both the sound (throbbing bass, ear searing and abused synths, washed out white noise, brutal and screamed vocals) and content (power, abuse, serial murder, war crimes) of the style that we now call power electronics. Though PE has since given us several iconic artists and acts — Con-Dom, Grey Wolves, Genocide Organ, and Ramleh among them — there is still something about the conceptual rigor, thematic depth, and historical mythos of Whitehouse that makes the group an enduringly fascinating area of study.

To discuss the legacy of Whitehouse as well as the philosophy and history of industrial music, Adam and Will converse with friend and noise musician Xylon Genesis Otterburn, back for the second time on the show.

At the Wall of Transgression: A Whitehouse Retrospective (W/ Xylon Otterburn)

Artist, musician, academic, and member of legacy American experimental band ONO Conor Tomaka joins the show once more, but with a specific purpose this time around. John Frusciante is already a God-level figure in the oeuvre of Safety Propaganda, but this time we are going back to the virtuoso guitarist of the Chili Peppers and experimental solo artist's infamous and masterful first two albums: Niandra Lades and Usually just a T-Shirt and Smile from the Streets you Hold.

Both of these albums were recorded on a 4-track tape recorded in the early '90s when Frusciante was closing in on death due to intensely high and daily usages of heroin and crack cocaine. Video documents of the artist at his home show the once handsome and vivacious punk rock LA kid as a death shadow of his former self: cheeks sank all the way into his jaw, teeth falling out, ghastly white and pallid, anything resembling muscle tone vanished. He was disintegrated, and these albums are gorgeous-avant pop ballads disintegrating into the abyss.

Niandra was partly recorded in Frusciante's bedroom at the mansion where he and the Chi-Peps recoded Blood Sugar Sex Magick at night time, and the second more ambient and abstract side was recorded after he'd left the band and plunged into addiction. Smile was recorded during similar sessions, he says, and includes vocals by the ghost of the late movie star and brother to the current greatest American actor Joaquin – River Phoenix. While both albums are masterpieces in differing ways, channeling Frusciante's enthusiasm for Beefheart, Zappa, Syd Barrett, and other weirdo troubadours, it is only Niandra that is still reissued and available for purchase. Frusciante has let Smile fall into obscurity – perhaps it is just too painful for him to listen to.

Hail Frusciante.

"Smile is a Rifle"
"Your Pussy is Glued to a Building on Fire"

And Usually Just a Syringe (with Conor Tomaka)

We are now a few weeks passed the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest. Chris Bumstead mogged the competition in the classic physique Olympia to win his fifth title. In the 212 LB. short king division, youngster Keone Pearson won, completely unjustly, over two time champ Shaun Clarida. And finally, another robbing took place in the big boy open division class, with American Christian boy Derrick Lunsford winning over the former Iranian champion Hadi Choopan. Derrick has an amazing back but is soft from the front, Hadi is complete and razor sharp. The decision was controversial, and even more narratively juicy given that Hadi and Derrick share a coach in legend Hany Rambod. Now infamously, Hadi stormed off the stage in a tren rage after learning he was second place.

Overall, it feels like the standards of bodybuilding are in decline. The sport seems to have reached its pinnacle, with Phil Heath being the champion who set the standard for what a bodybuilder should look like in the 2010s. Since then, conditioning has gone down hill, no one is getting in shape, and the one guy who does get in shape (Nick Walker) was injured right before the show, tragically.

To discuss all of this, Adam brings on music producer and bodybuilding enthusiast Laje Amare and competitive bodybuilder William Landry.

Note: I fully understand that most of our audience will have no fucking clue what we are talking about. Accept it as a good bit of provocateur theater

SoS - Mr. Olympia

Kanye is trying to release a new record, Vultures, with Ty Dolla $ign, and his enemies are refusing to get its samples cleared, leaving the record unreleased. Kanye, of course, isn't staying quiet about what's happening behind the scenes, and treated the world to a 15 minute rant against his many enemies, ranging from LVMH CEO Bernard Arnaut, the Rothschilds, Jay-Z, and Drake among them, as well as the abandonment of the family that has left him adrift. It's powerful stuff, and of course he isn't exactly taking it easy on Zionists either.

The cover of Vultures uses a Caspar David Friedrich landscape and a typeface clearly alluding to Burzum. Given Varg's politics and the fact that Friedrich was a favorite painter of Hitler, the trolling here is pretty clear and didn't take long to enrage libtard critics. The controversy and aura around a Kanye release is what makes him the most important artist alive. He is perhaps the only living CONTEMPORARY artist, one who channels the multitudes and contradictions and informational channels crossing over of digital culture. He is the richest and most powerful artist of our lifetimes, one who has made billions not just for himself but for others, but he still manages to embody the rebel spirit of industrial music culture or dada. He's Artaud, Bowie, Michael Jackson, and William Bennett at once. 

With all of us excited about Vultures coming out, we brought out another Kanye head — the photographer Matthew Denicola — to discuss the man.

Kanye Versus the Vultures (w/ Matthew Denicola)

Ben Werther is a conceptual artist, born in Nashville and living in New York, whose new exhibition at No Gallery,  “WHEN YOU CAN NO LONGER SPEAK, SING ME A SONG.” , presents a fascinating sequence of photographs that initially look like on the ground photojournalistic documents of armed combat. Upon further inquiry, however, you learn that these images were captured during Werther's attendance at a number of MilSim LARP rituals, in which Americans don military fatigues and arm themselves with airsoft rifles and pantomime military conflict. The exhibition also offers the work in book form, along with the cryptic writing of the artist complicating the images' meaning.

Here, Adam and Ben speak about the work, MilSim, the cultural condition of LARPing and identity craft, True Detective Season 1, mythology, Joseph Campbell, and more.

The Great Capitalist Makeover of 2020 (w/ Smooth and Striated Lines)

Techno producer, DJ, Internet provocateur, and operator of the MoMAPS5 instagram account He Valencia joins Adam and Ben for a freewheeling discussion about neoliberalism's pulverizations of art, politics, and everything else in its path. He Valencia discusses the suffocating wokeness thrown his way in the electronic music world, versus the genre's history as a proletarian art form that transcended racial boundaries. Beyond that, we talk about Killer Mike's recent controversy by doing actual politics and being effective at actual politics (fuck the haters Mike, you a real one!), our class reducing daddy Adolph Reed taking petty snipes at queen Angela Nagle (what's up with that, Adolph?), and He Valencia's burgeoning friendship with pop music's last free thinker Azealia Banks.

NOTE: This episode is now useful for understanding how political rebrands work. Compare He. Valencia's statements on this show against his public comments now and you tell us if this feels like an authentic evolution of politics. 

(note: Adam mentioned industrial musician and artist Boyd Rice being connected to the alt-right, Boyd has never claimed allegiance to the alt-right and Adam meant to only emphasize what art world progressives have mislabeled Boyd as, the air quotes did not come through on the recording)

Adam drops by his pal and New York-based contemporary artist Mathieu Malouf's apartment in Chinatown to catch up and they let the hot takes roll. No coherence or theme to this one folks, just straight up raw, transgressive chit chat between canceled art bros. Topics of discussion include: The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and John Frusicante's heroin use, Roman Polanski, Lenny Kravitz's scarves, Jack Nicholson's secret gay sex with Roger Corman, the incoherent gender theory of Paul B. Preciado, the oppressive radical liberalism of Ana Texeira Pinto, the excellent pornographic biopic that should be made about Basquiat, Steely Dan, meme lord CumWizard, his attempt to make a film about the Kardashians while his wife, the photographer Heji Shin, shot them for a magazine, and god knows what else. Ben had to sit this one out, sorry folks. (note: Adam and Mathieu also have a conversation soon to be published in the Berlin-based contemporary art journal Gruppe http://gruppemagazine.com/, be on the lookout for that too!)

Model and host of experimental Youtube podcast Public Dopamine Bimbo Ubermensch has shattered the glass ceiling and become SoS's first wamen guest. As our Canada correspondent and hot women representative, she gives us the juice on the extreme lockdowns that have turned Toronto into a neoliberal hell hole, and talks about the problem with men incapable of seizing will to power. Other conversations topics include the Great Reset, the necessity of aesthetics to any political theory, and the hideousness of leftoids. 

Bimbo's public dopamine condenses podcast interviews into 10 minute snippets of text that she then overlays with various memes and video snippets, much in the style of early post-Internet art.

The boys are joined by Indian writer and political scientist Siddak Ahuja who outlines his thinking behind his excellent piece for The Bellows 'The Case for Left Patriotism.' Siddak describes his self as a "national communist" and advocates for a communism tethered to people and place. We also discuss some high level global affairs (many topics that Adam is totally useless on) and Siddak explains that Modi isn't as bad as his critics often suggest (largest public health program for poor people in the world).

Siddak: Patriot of the Left (Modi Ain't All Bad) (w/ Siddak Ahuja)

"You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no Third Worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petrodollars, electro- dollars, multi-dollars, Reichsmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today."

This podcast System of Systems, the audio misinformation arm of Safety Propaganda, is hosted by writer/artist Adam Lehrer and artist Matthew Denicola. Conform – it's pervasive. A virus. A pandemic. How can we inoculate against it?
