TREASURE IN THE ATTIC Anyone who has ever watched the Antique Roadshow knows that some people have hidden treasures in their house. One lucky Montreal raver found that fact out for himself when he stumbled across a dusty old painting tucked away in his parent's attic. He was helping his folks move out when he discovered the old family heirloom, which his own parents had forgotten they even owned. It had been given to them as a wedding gift by a crazy uncle with a twisted sense of humor. The painting depicts a pack of wild dogs eating a horse. Hardly an appropriate wedding gift. The couple found the thing so hideous that they tucked it away and forgot all about it. Their rave loving son, though, wasn't nearly as dismissive of the piece. He found it so fascinating that he tracked down the crazy uncle, who was still alive at eighty five, and asked him about it. Turns out the painting had been gifted and regifted as a prank for over a hundred years. The crazy uncle had got it from an old friend of his as a birthday gift when he was twenty one, and that friend had gotten it as a Christmas gift from his brother years before that, and that brother had gotten it as a joke from his wife, and the wife had gotten it as a joke from her dad when she was a little girl. He didn't know where her dad got it from, but he did know who had painted it -- an obscure, revolutionary era French painter named Alexandre De Languisse. The raver looked up who De Languisse was, and after putting in a great deal of time and effort, he discovered the man had a small cult following among a certain class of rich weirdos. Marilyn Manson, for example, is rumored to own three of De Languisse's paintings. De Languisse seemed to specialize in horribly painted scenes of brutality and violence. Rape, pillage, plunder, cannibalism, the more graphic, the better. His stuff isn't exactly beautiful, but it is intense, and it's very sought after. The raver's family will be selling their own dog-eat-horse piece at an auction, where it's expected to sell somewhere north of $100,000. Who knows what other treasures are buried in the attics of the Montreal rave community? |

HOT PUSSY Two ravers are facing several charges after being accused of placing a cat in an oven and then trying to set it in on fire. The alleged kitty baking incident took place at a loft in Mile End. Apparently, one of their girlfriends caught them in the act, freaked out, and called the cops on them. Which begs the question -- how the hell do kitty roasters even manage to get girlfriends? Is there some kind of dating site for psychopaths out there? A friendfinder for the deranged? Not only are the men in hot water for their kittene cuisine, but when the police showed up at their place, they found a lot more than a kitty cat with burned paws; they also discovered that their desktop background was a wonderful picture of the two boys setting an abandoned church on fire, as well as several giant cases of labeled CDs that had been stolen from a local music shop a few days earlier. The boys knew the cops were coming, and yet they chose not to hide any of the stolen goods that were blatantly on display in their apartment, and they chose not to close their laptops or change their background image to something that was slightly less incendiary. They just sat around drinking beer and smoking pot until the cops showed up. Not because they didn't care, but because they were incredibly stupid. The police rescued the kitten, and charged the two dumbasses with arson, burglary, and cruelty to animals. |

SATAN HAS A BABY Every time you spend money at a club, Satan has a baby. Clubs are dens of iniquity, covered in filth and full of scum. When you support them, you support the criminals who usually run them. You'd be hard press to find a club that isn't in league with the underworld. Gangsters, bikers, and thugs all have hard-ons for the nightlife scene. They obsess over it the same way teenage girls obsess over Twilight. They don't necessarily want to own all the clubs, but they do want to control the drugs that move through them. These crooks take your money, and then they re-invest it in wonderful things like human trafficking, drug smuggling, racketeering, and the arms trade. Giving money to a club is no different than giving money to the meanest, dumbest, most violent person you know. This mean bastard might let you listen to his music and dance in his apartment, but later that week when you're at home on the couch watching the Big Bang Theory, he'll be on a flight to Turkey, where he'll buy a dozen Ukrainian women with the help of the money you and your friends gave him. He'll then rape them, get them hooked on heroin, and pimp them out to a bunch of Wallstreet bankers. Your vices make the world a more terrible place. Of course, not all clubs feed the underworld. Only most of them. Consider this one Montreal club that was recently shuttered. It had a name that would have made Shigeru Miyamoto proud. Its business practices? Not so much. The club was brazen about its desire to control the flow of drugs that happened within its walls. You were frisked for illicit substances at the door, and if the bouncers found any on you, your stash would be confiscated only to be resold later by approved dealers. Folks who managed to sneak stuff in would live to regret their success if they were caught taking them by security. Not only would they get their drugs taken away from them, but their smuggling would be rewarded with a little battery, and maybe a touch of assault too. The worst was reserved for small time peddlers who tried to deal on the premise, though. They could look forward to being dragged out to the back alley, where they'd have a couple of enforcers break their fingers. More than one ravewaver found this out the hard way after trying to sell some of their own supply to friends. Most clubs are not nearly as aggressive as this place was, but that doesn't mean they're any less dirty. Clubs rarely make their money from selling tickets or alcohol. Their cash comes from selling drugs, and if you ever found out what their drug money was being spent on, you'd probably hate yourself for ever supporting them. Want to have a good time and a clean conscience? Stick to smaller parties, one's that are too tiny for gangsters to bother with. And if you do buy drugs, try to get it from small operators who aren't affiliated with the kind of criminal organizations that rule over most of our city's nightlife. You'll sleep better at night. Unless you're buying meth. Then you won't sleep at all. |

CAUGHT AT THE CAP Four men and three women, all of them from Pointe-Claire, are now looking forward to a winter full of community service as penance for throwing an illegal rave at Cap St-Jacques earlier this summer. The police realized something was amiss in the peaceful borough of Pierrefonds-Roxboro when they noticed an abnormally large amount of late-night traffic headed towards the beach, which isn't open after 10pm. They set up a road block, and started turning people away, but by then a huge group of people had already gathered at the Cap. Instead of risking the wrath of an increasingly hostile group of party goers, the officers moved the ravers over to an unused parcel of farm land with the consent of that property's owner. The event had been organized through an online social site, and well over eight hundred people ended up getting through before the barriers went up. Instead of risking a riot, the cops let the party go on, but vehicles were stopped and searched as they left the party. Anyone who had any equipment of any kind ended up getting arrested for holding an unlicensed event. Most of the defendants claimed they weren't the ones who organized the party, while a few of them claimed that they only brought the gear because they assumed that the party had been licensed. Stanley Feinbaum, 25, Jacques Lavigne, 18, Nicholas Hedgerow, 19, Jonathan Sterling, 22, Natalie Hochman, 18, Julie Thibault, 20, and Carolyn Fennyl, 23, all entered guilty pleas and were sentenced to 100 hours of unpaid work as well as fined $750 each. |

 Coolness: 178660 | Erm, sorry if this seems awkward, but, what is the point of all this?
I mean, most stories aren't real, right? So why is it called rave news? At first I thought this would be a topic talking about new venues, new djs, reviews, etc... You know, like "actualities of the rave scene"... I must say the "articles" shown here are a bit on the sensationnalist side... Well, if it's invented random stories taking its inspirations on the rave scene, it's ok, I guess... Just that maybe the title of the thread is misleading... Ah well. |

 Coolness: 26285 | This isn't NPR, it's not the BBC, it's not the CBC --- it's Ravenews. Of course it's going to be sensationalistic. It's a tabloid. It's like reading the National Enquirer, or better yet, Gawker's blind items.
Nearly every article that's written is based on something that has actually happened in the rave scene. A minority of stories are completely fabricated. These fake stories are included to throw people off the scent of the real ones. Some of the most outlandish stories are almost verbatim descriptions of actual events, as told by the people that they're about. A few stories have even been toned down and mellowed out. A straight news service for the Montreal rave scene is something that's been discussed, and there's a chance you might see something like that launched next year. However, in order to do that, you need contributors. People who want to write reviews, interview DJs, talk to people who own venues. It takes more work to do straight news than it does tabloid news. Now, if you want to volunteer for a straight news service, drop us an email. There's no money involved, but you'll probably get free tickets to events, booze, and what have you. Also, you'll be contributing to the scene and helping it grow. The tabloid news won't go away though, even if we start publishing straight news. It's entertaining, and most people like it. We've even discussed launching an Onion TV style ravenews web show. That might actually happen before the straight news does. |

| Coolness: 178660 | thanks for the reply, just needed some clarifications about this thread :)
The idea of rave journalists sounds interesting, but you'll have to find someone else than me for that. Because I don't rave every weekend, and talking to people is very very hard for me. I dance, and enjoy the music, that's all... |
