“I am not what is called a civilized man, Professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me. Therefore, I do not obey its laws.” — 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Jules Verne “. . . there are periods of history when the visions of madmen and dope fiends are a better guide to reality than the common-sense interpretation of data available to the so-called normal mind. This is one such period, if you haven’t noticed already.” R.A.Wilson We have all fallen for it. We have taken the easy pleasures available through the consumption of popular culture. We have become docile and content, no matter how difficult…

4 September 2021Mark

Iron Man Records has been working with the artist Flinton Chalk of the band TC Lethbridge, to produce the first in a series of limited edition 50cm x 70cm Lithographic Prints. After many years of discussions and a true odyssey to track down the missing photographs, Iron Man Records announced the first set of Lithographic Prints earlier this year, for the first design, available only to Patrons. TC Lethbridge’s claims regarding the existence of Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill in Cambridgeshire caused significant controversy within the archaeological community, with most archaeologists believing that Lethbridge had erroneously misidentified a natural feature. Lethbridge’s methodology and theories were widely deemed unorthodox, and in…

23 June 2021Mark

Church of Burn in collaboration with The Cockpit present: CoB's Festival of Money Most money events are as dull as dishwater. There's even one that's actually called 'The Boring Money Conference'. These events are usually sponsored by some corporation, accountancy firm or bank. And they're mostly for folks like venture capitalists, payment gurus, financial advisors and the movers and shakers in Fintech; all big earners who then get to set the agenda for the rest of us. CoB's Festival of Money is different. A whole lot different. If a normal money conference is like karaoke, ours is more Jimi Hendrix at Monterey. First up, there's the venue. The Cockpit is a legendary fringe theatre not a bland conference…

Ford Timelord – 111 Lithographic Prints by Flinton Chalk and The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures.

14 January 2021Mark

TC Lethbridge’s claims regarding the existence of Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill in Cambridgeshire caused significant controversy within the archaeological community, with most archaeologists believing that Lethbridge had erroneously misidentified a natural feature. Lethbridge’s methodology and theories were widely deemed unorthodox, and in turn he became increasingly critical of the archaeological profession. The area of Wandlebury Hill has been described as a neolithic ritual landscape. Iron Man Records has been working with the artist Flinton Chalk of the band TC Lethbridge, to produce the first in a series of limited edition 50cm x 70cm Lithographic Prints. After more than 8 years of discussions and a true odyssey to track down…

Here's a fantastic piece by Jonathan Harris, also known as The Money Burning Guy. Jon was the first Patron, he's a good friend, and has supported Iron Man Records all the way. He's also a dangerous Lunatic. Don't think for a moment you can just dip into his work and understand it at first glance. You'll have to put some time in and consider his work carefully. It might prove mind expanding. Money Burning is not what you might think it is. "I don’t necessarily…
