“Any effort which helps the powerful will be elevated and amplified, while any effort which inconveniences them falls into an empty void.” -Caitlin Johnstone “The degree to which I want violence in my art is inversely proportional to how much I want it in my life.” -NN NN (c. 1970) is a self-described “psychedelic gangster”; an untamed sexual psychonaut and holy war occultist who has cheated death more times than even he can recall. Operating consistently at or beyond what most would likely regard as being the extreme fringes of society, he began his non-career as a pre-internet non-commercial amateur pornographer, quickly realizing that there are some very real and less than fortunate consequences that can (and do) occur as a direct result of flowing either against or apart from the societal infrastructures of power and officialdom. Despite being met with varying degrees of resistance, NN fearlessly continued to defy conventions of logic, humor, and taste as well as the bounds of legality itself, most often in the guise of music. His work typically operates within his two favored idioms of “modern classical death metal” and “psychedelic noisecore” (perhaps most notably with bands such as To Live and Shave in L.A., To Live and Shave in L.A. 2, and Hatewave). Nevai went on to further develop and refine his own forms of what he refers to as KLASSIKILL, AKTION, and DANGER MUSIC. On this episode of The Exile Hour we throw back more than a few with Nevai and discuss matters related to his uniquely hallucinogenic worldview, as well as his recent four (potentially five)-part deluxe CD digi-book series "The Price of Frontier." The books—which include outlandish ...
Jim Goad (c. 1961) is an American author, publisher, social critic, country crooner, pioneering “wigger”, ex-convict, brain tumor survivor, iconoclast, and cultural provocateur. He is perhaps best known for *ANSWER Me!* magazine, which he co-authored, edited, and published with his late wife Debbie Goad between 1991 and 1994. Scandals surrounding the magazine included a line being quoted from the second issue by a man who shot at the White House in 1994, a triple suicide, a potential influence on the suicide of Kurt Cobain, and an obscenity trial over the fourth and final issue in Washington State (the state ultimately lost). Goad has authored nine books including The *Redneck Manifesto*. His latest, *The Bomb Inside My Brain*, features a collection of four dozen essays about “brain surgery, heartache, broken friendship, family alienation, drugs, religion, PTSD, and fatherhood.” He has also written two weekly columns for *Taki's Magazine* for the past nine years, and hosts a weekly podcast entitled *Jim Goad's Group Hug*. Goad has described himself as being “Misunderstood in ways you would never understand.” Join us for this episode of THE EXILE HOUR as we fraternally bond with our featured guest over our mutual indifference towards fraternal bonding, non-ironic reverence for Vanilla Ice, the discovery of our shared Chinese Zodiac animal (the "cock"), Philadelphia Tidewater (read: “tide-WOODer”) accents, and ultimately seek to discover if he might also be understood in ways that he would never understand. ...
“Liberty is the domain of the Sovereign. Servitude the domain of the collective.” -Yukio Mishima John McAfee (c. 1945) is a larger than life figure who requires little introduction. He is presently living in exile while simultaneously making a bid for the White House as a current U.S. Presidential candidate (despite claims that he has zero interest in becoming president). He also ran for President in 2016. Known as something of a sexual deviant, McAfee is both a libertarian and a libertine in every sense of the word. Former NASA programmer and founder of the computer software company McAfee Associates, Inc., McAfee first came to prominence after developing the world’s first commercial antivirus software program simply called “McAfee.” McAfee has become a major advocate for cryptocurrency as a way to remove taxation and financial power away from corrupt global governments. He has gone so far as to promise that if Bitcoin doesn’t reach the value of $1m by the end of 2020, he will eat his own dick. In 2012 McAfee was suspected of murder by Belizian officials after his American expatriate neighbor was found dead of a gunshot wound. McAfee quickly fled Belize after being sought for questioning by Belizian authorities concerning the murder. He was subsequently arrested for illegally entering Guatemala. McAfee shortly thereafter faked two heart attacks in order to avoid deportation to Belize, and was successfully deported to the United States. In early 2019, McAfee announced that he was on the run from federal authorities and living internationally on a boat following the convening of a Grand Jury to indict him, his wife, and four of his 2020 Presidential campaign workers on tax-related charges. This past ...
