More about Frank Moore!

Frank Moore started his life in art by literally using his head to paint when he was in high school in 1963. Because Moore has cerebral palsy, he paints with a brush on a helmet. His big, bright oils of nudes and superheros have been exhibited around the U.S. and Canada. In recent years Moore has created digital art.

But visual art has been only one aspect of the creative activity of Moore who first came to be known in the 70’s as the creator of the popular cabaret show, The Outrageous Beauty Revue. In the 80’s he became one of the U.S.’s foremost performance artists. In 1992 he was voted Best Performance Artist by the San Francisco Bay Guardian. In the early 90’s he was targeted by Senator Jesse Helms. In 1991 Frank Moore played the role of publisher and editor of the acclaimed underground zine, The Cherotic r(E)volutionary…until he started the web “radio” station http://www.luver.com in 1999. LUVER has become a powerful channel for the alternative cultures. For the last 10 years Moore has been an every night late night fixture on B-TV, Berkeley’s public access cable channel. He also tours both the U.S. and Canada, often backed up by his band, the chEROTIC all-stars. Award-winning film-maker and well-published poet/critic round out his field of activity. But he failed in his bid to become U.S. President in 2008. WHAT A LOSER!

Penny Arcade’s New hardcover book Bad Reputation out now + news on me…

November 30, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Hi from Penny!

I want you to know that Semiotext(e)’s wonderful hardcover book on my work ,BAD REPUTATION Performances, Essays ,Interviews is out now on REALLY GOOD PAPER with great photos and three scripts LA MISERIA , Bitch!Dyke!Faghag!Whore! and Bad Reputation (the title script)

There are three excellent essays. The introductory essay is by Kenneth Bernard, a major poet and playwright (I was in two of his plays with the Playhouse of The Ridiculous in 1968 and 1970 as a teenager) Ken Bernard is a great writer with an incredible eye on the theatre for 50 years (!) as well as a real scholar.. a highly respected theatre academic who has written extensively on experimental theatre for decades ( It is a rip snorter of an opening essay.) The major essay on my work by Professor Stephen Bottoms, who wrote Playing Underground (the book on 1960’s NY experimental theatre with a big focus on John Vaccaro’s Playhouse of The Ridiculous) so he is a perfect person to write about the work I grew up to write and perform. There is a charming, honest , amusing and informative essay by Steve Zehentner, (my collaborator of 17 years) about the trials and joys of working with me and a wonderful essay by Sarah Schiulman which intros La Miseria , a play that she has always championed when it was very un PC to champion it. There is also an interview with Chris Kraus , one of the editors of Semiotext(e) who actually gave me my first performance of my own work in 1985 at The Poetry Project. The interview is very honest and raw…i wish it had a careerist slant…but it is the usual me..telling my truth about my experience of the art world, making art and biting the hand that..well you know! it will probably make some people pissed off at me..as per usual. There are lots and lots of archival photos, amazing well reproduced, along with a rare Peter Hujar portrait of me at 19. Lots of photos of all the marvelous performers who have graced my work. The book is hardcover and really beautiful.

I will be doing book parties in NY as well as around the country and I will let you know about the NY ones. The second book party is at CITY
LIGHTS in San Francisco Tuesday Nov 17th (I did a small one at Bluestockings with two amazing Semiotext(e) authors last week…also I
would like to champion Eileen Myles new book The Importance of Being Iceland..sheer genius and Bruce Benderson’s Pacific Agony, always super brilliant and Abdellah Taia’s Salvation Army about coming out in Morrocco ,really special and The Little Black Book of Griselidis Real,
translated by Ariana Reines, a rare whore read. )

If you have friends in SF will you let them know? I am also doing three shows in SF next week at The Marsh..the info follows the Book Party
info.

You can ask for it at ST Marks Bookstore , my favorite bookstore in NY 3rd Ave corner of East 9th St

If you like please write me about book parties…I hope you don’t mind me not writing individual emails…but it is hard to do ones own promo!

love

Dear Readers,

Every now and then the authorities get excited and go out and start some enforcement activities. We don’t know if it’s caused by moon phases or solar flares, but probably they are just doing the bidding of their bosses. Right now we seem to be in one of those “heightened enforcement” periods. Stories about the fines against Pirate Cat Radio and Radio Free Brooklyn follow. All I can say is watch out for these FCC guys and whatever you do, don’t let them in to “inspect your facility”. If they’re in your area, a good strategy may be to go quiet until they go away. Changing location also seems to work as a stall tactic. Most enforcement seems to be generated by complaints, so try not to make people want to complain about you. Send out a clean signal and don’t interfere with licensed stations. The movie formerly known as “The Boat That Rocked” has finally made it to the US in a shortened form and retitled “Pirate Radio”. We hope it inspires people to join in the fun. Anyway, enjoy any slack time that comes your way and remember that shortwave stations like to crank it up during the holidays so tune in to the area just below 7 megahertz and see what you can hear!

HUGE BLOW IN WAR AGAINST CORPORATE DOMINATION OF THE AIRWAVES; PIRATES TAKE A HIT.
San Francisco, CA, 10/31/2009 — Pirate Cat Radio, a volunteer-run, community broadcasting organization operating out of the Pirate Cat Café in San Francisco’s Mission district, has ceased its terrestrial broadcast on 87.9FM in response to the latest demands of the Federal Communications Commission. In a notice dated August 31, 2009 the FCC asserted that Monkey, the founder of Pirate Cat Radio, “willfully and repeatedly violated Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934” and proposed to fine him $10,000 for the infraction. By bringing to bear the full weight of the Federal government against continued broadcast operations, the FCC’s order effectively ends Pirate Cat Radio’s thirteen-year run as one of the Bay Area’s most consistent voices of protest against corporate-run media monopolies and monocultural programming. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934, and was given the responsibility of making a “fair, efficient and equitable distribution of radio service”, and to ensure that broadcasters serve the ‘public interest’. It is hard to understand how fining the founder of Pirate Cat Radio, an entirely volunteer run community station, and effectively taking them off the air after 13 years, is an appropriate action and in the public’s interest There have never been any complaints over PCRs content. Pirate Cat Radio provides an important community service one that has been recognized by the Board of Supervisors in a certificate of honor. They are one of the best sources of news and regularly broadcast Al Jazeera and BBC bulletins. The news is read in every 2-hour DJ slot. They make regular valuable PSAs and publicize local events. They take an active approach to involving the community, by bringing local unsung heroes and talents into the studio. Pirate Cat Radio provides a voice and outlet for many sections of the community of the Bay Area which cannot make themselves heard anywhere else. If the public’s interests are to be served then ‘ordinary’ people must be allowed to make their voice heard and to be allowed to express themselves creatively without regard for commercial success. The FCC’s policy instead seems to be protecting the airwaves for the big corporations to pump out their bland, homogenized wasteland offering dull limited playlists, banal chat and censored opinions. Until this happens people must continue to challenge the corporate domination of the airwaves. Looking to the future, PCR can continue as an internet only station and the café/studio on 21st st will continue to operate, but at least for the time being, but it cannot safely broadcast over the terrestrial FM band without possibly jeopardizing its volunteers and supporters. How this will affect the service is not clear yet, although it is true that the majority of their listeners are now online or downloading podcasts. “Obviously this is a major disappointment,” says Monkey, “But we made a collective decision that Pirate Cat Radio must come off the public airwaves, until some method is found to change the law or get it authorized under existing law.”

Radio Free Brooklyn Gets Slapped

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has levied a $10,000 fine against two Flatbush “schlock jocks” who were operating a pirate radio station out of their own apartment. FCC officials said that Jean Clerveau and Jocelyn Edwards were “providing services and facilities incidental to the operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter when they were caught playing their tunes on 90.5 FM. FCC agents uncovered the radio station when they were investigating a complaint of radio interference on East 19th Street back in March 2008. The agent not only followed the signal back to their second-floor apartment, but reportedly found an antenna on the top of the roof, according to an FCC spokesman. The building manager told them that the apartment in question belonged to Clerveau and Edwards, but the couple denied running a radio station out of their pad. Officials admitted that when they finally caught Clerveau at home, they could not find any radio equipment on the premises although the inspection took place after the FCC had sent the couple a letter and had made several attempts to visit the home. Clerveau and Edwards claimed that the unlicensed radio station was actually transmitting from across the street but could not provide any evidence, officials said. Nor could the FCC, who imposed the fine “absent of any other evidence that their agents were mistaken.”
Two times the charm.

cutting shows

November 30, 2009 / / 0 Comments
Dear Friends,
I write to you this afternoon with a story that many of you may already be familiar with, yet I feel it important enough that those of you who are not already in the loop of the recent programming changes at KPFA, where for the past 14 years I have been one of 5 daily programmers producing a diverse and wide ranging 2 hour weekly “Music of the World” radio show, become aware of a recent and significant cut in Music programming at the station.

So, for your information, I bear the news that, for reasons not entirely clear to anybody but certainly dressed up as necessary changes due to an extreme financial crisis at KPFA (Pacifica Radio’s flagship station and the oldest Public Listener-Sponsored Radio Station in the world) management at KPFA took the drastic step of reducing Music of the World by 60% from being a Week-Daily 2 hour show from 10am-Noon, to a 1 hour show (11-Noon) on only 4 days. The beneficiary of this cut in Music at the station is a daily 1 hour show, Letters to Washington which, as the name suggests, concerns itself with the politics of the moment – not unlike many other Talk Radio programs that festoon the public airwaves in every direction.

Though this obviously effects me personally, as one of the programmers directly affected by this sudden change in direction at KPFA which, almost unannounced, brought about this sea change in their programming structure on November 2nd 2009, I am more concerned that it demonstrates a clear lack of commitment to the importance of keeping Music and The Arts as an essential ingredient in terrestrial radio. Without going into too much rationalization or analysis of this move, I am concerned that this particular change in the daily schedule at KPFA is the precursor to further cuts – I can’t see a single 1 hour Music broadcast Mon, Wed, Thur, Fri in a day that is otherwise completely dominated by wall to wall talk radio programming from pre-dawn (6am) until long after dark (8pm) being a priority in the minds of those who make the programming policy at KPFA.

So this email is by way of an announcement to you that this is happening at this time honored Listener-Sponsored institution, in case you haven’t noticed.

If this in any way raises questions for you or you have yourself an opinion about it that you would like to air then KPFA’s listener comment line is (510) 848 6767 ext. 3 or you can write to the station through their web site:

www.KPFA.org/contact

In the meantime I will endeavor to continue to cram as much positive energy as is humanly possibly into a one hour (actually 56 minutes) time slot on Thursdays in my own version of Music of the World

Thanks for Listening

Stay Tuned

ah, yes, Stephen! I know well how it feels to be “trimmed.” I just was trimmed on B-TV in favor of canned non- local old shows. What is happening is everything is being tied to the mainstream frame.
Subjects of talk radio are limited to that frame, whether it’s “progressive” or “right- wing.” things that aren’t limited by that frame aren’t valued. Things like People’s music, art, culture, philosophy, etc. aren’t seen as important expressions. So they are not covered under the marketing tool of “free speech radio!”

funny… As I’m writing this, I’m listening to your show on LUVER!
