James Chance and the Contortions



He's been away for a long time after being our idol in the 80's, and got back around 2001, in good shape as it seems. Still around and swinging hard ... aka James White, or James Siegfried. Still a favourite around here.

Desapareceu de vista depois de ter sido o nosso ídolo durante os anos 80, e voltou por volta de 2001, em boa forma pelo que se pode julgar. Costuma tocar esporadicamente, puro e duro ... também conhecido por James White ou James Siegfried. Um dos nossos favoritos de longa data.

Greater Manchester

In these pictures I've used outdated film, then I've scanned the negatives and in the end put them through photoshop. Nothing new, nor special, I mix analog medias with digital ones. Pseudo puritans purists will have to get used to it.

Aqui usei film fora de prazo, a seguir digitalizei os negativos e por fim, passaram pelo photoshop. Nada de novo, nem de por aí além, misturo suportes analógicos com digitais. Os pseudo-puristas puritanos vão ter que se conformar.

Tienanmen

A few works of art to commemorate the anniversary of the events on Tienanmen Square in 1989. Just follow the links. I'm particularly afound of Miss Mao on top of Lenin's head.

Algumas obras de arte para comemorar o aniversário dos acontecimentos da praça de Tienanmen em 1989. Simplesmente seguem os links. Gosto muito particularmente da Miss Mao em cima da cabeça de Lénine.

A Brasileira

Ponho aqui algumas composições minhas com contactos, por ocasião dos 100 anos da Brasileira de Braga. Já foi há uns tempos, eu sei, encontrei-as hoje e acho que nunca as pus na net. Duas delas foram publicadas no livrinho.

I post here a few of my own compositions with contacts, done for the celebrations of the 100 years of the café "Brasileira" in Braga. It´s been a while I know, I´ve just found them today and I think I´ve never published them on the net. Two of them were published in the little book.

Drug Decriminalization in Portugal

Something about the Portuguese experience, several years after the law's been promulgated , in a country where experiments are not generally welcome, and when commented and analysed abroad, not generally praised. Has the sacred golden rule been broken?

Descriminalização das drogas em Portugal
Algo sobre a experiência portuguesa, vários anos depois da lei ter sido promulgada, num país onde os experimentos não são geralmente bemvindos, e quando analizados e comentados no estrangeiro, geralmente não são louvados. Será que a sagrada regra de ouro foi quebrada?

Drug Decriminalization in Portugal:
Lessons for Creating Fair and Successful Drug Policies

by Glenn Greenwald

On July 1, 2001, a nationwide law in Portugal took effect that decriminalized all drugs, including cocaine and heroin. Under the new legal framework, all drugs were "decriminalized," not "legalized." Thus, drug possession for personal use and drug usage itself are still legally prohibited, but violations of those prohibitions are deemed to be exclusively administrative violations and are removed completely from the criminal realm. Drug trafficking continues to be prosecuted as a criminal offense.->Read the rest here
