ESCAPE FROM LIBERTY ISLAND.

Remember Liberty Island, that workshop for explicitly rightwing artists we visited back in March? Have you wondered how it's doing? Wonder no more, they're crowdfunding. Here's how they pitch the content offerings:

They have compelling characters, cool settings, biting humor … and, we insist, they celebrate the value and dignity of the individual conscience over the supposed glory of the collective.

Wow, sounds great! Because I'm sure sick of reading all those celebrations of the collective in Granta.

Liberty Island is already in business as an online magazine, but we need to raise additional cash to fund our foray into book publishing.

Sure you do, comrade. While we wait for The Roy Cohn Nobody Knew: A Novel, here's a sample of what the website is offering -- a puffer on a musician:

"My first response to any musician is, 'I don't wanna hear about your politics. I don't care about your politics'," says Nathan Harden.

"The idea of conservative music doesn't sound appealing to me, or anyone," Harden adds, breaking into a laugh. "It sounds boring, right?

Interesting sentiment at a site that actually repurposes John Miller's classic "50 Conservative Rock Songs" on its front page -- and from a guy who writes for National Review. Further down...

Ballad of Dani Girl is a concept album of sorts... that traces the troubled path of the title character, through the very "liberated" American landscape that has now become the norm... 

"...It's sort of taking what we all know, as red-blooded males, that there's something alluring about a woman who...doesn't show everything in the first three seconds you meet her," [Harden] says. "It's modesty and restraint...the erotic charge of what a woman withholds from you."

You mean like The Kinks' "Lola"?

"...So the way that breaks down is this: there's a particular message coming out of the music industry, which is that sexual fulfillment comes from getting it on with as many complete strangers as you can this coming Friday night, doped up on amphetamines or whatever. But when you look at the lives young people are leading today, the sex is not that great..."

If you're bored with all the promiscuous sex you're having, kids, try the music of Nathan Harden. Or you can listen to a Tones on Tail cover while watching pictures of Andrew Breitbart. The revolution is here! Now it's time to pass the tip jar...
