Remember when you were a teenager, and you'd get high and watch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and the monsters would battle over the small cities and destroy the models of buildings? Wasn't that fucked up? See it live Saturday for the next installment of Kaiju Big Battel: The New and Improved Boston Massacre, for the world's "only live monster mayhem spectacle." Dr. Cube and his gang of angry mutants will be turning one of our city's largest indoor venues into a Wrestle-Mania styled arena (but with less white trash, oily, ponytailed men and potentially disastrous pyrotechnics).

Kaiju, which actually started in Boston as a SMFA project in the mid-'90s, has grown into Kaiju Studios, which has released a series of books, DVDs and touring "Battels" in various cities. Boston will be the first stop on the three-city tour which also includes Philly and NYC. DJ Clashious Clay will be on hand spinning sets between battels. If you haven't experienced a Big Battel before, be prepared for Engrish speaking announcers, caged-in wrestling rings and costumes that make GWAR look like peasants.

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.
