  1. A Field in England 9/10

     

    This is a fantastic film with beautiful cinematography and some very nice experimental visuals. The performances are extremely strong especially Reece Shearsmith whose switch between heavy pathos and maniac creepiness almost turns the stomach (he's so damn good at both). The psychedelic mushrooms scenes are genius and nods heavily to the classic avante-garde films of the late sixties and early seventies (which I really love) and which don't seem to get much love these days for some reason. Despite the fact it's so very vastly different from his last film, you still very much get the feel of it as a Wheatley film. I really hope he does more daring work as the outcome I feel just keeps getting better and better. He's really a director to watch from now on.

     

    One though was I didn't totally get the end...

     

    i've been hearing lots of good things about this film and as soon as i have the time i really want to watch it. lots of split opinions with some people completely not liking it and others swearing it's the best film of the year.

    jim jupp said these guys will be releasing an album on ghost box in the winter. not sure if anyone else is familiar with them, but i got their first album (harmonium) and really loved it. i found their (earlier) sounds to be a more poppier take on library and psych music, like a less darker broadcast- i never was able to get my hands on celeste but their new sound seems to have developed into a more focused library/soundtrack and komische exercise.

    oh and check that beautiful artwork.

  3. Superman 1978 Special Edition - The first fifty minutes were alright, they were thinking about the shots and it seemed like following storyboarding very closely, looked nice. Then they get into the daily planet chapters, Christopher Reeve overdoing his Clark Kent bumblisms is a bit tiresome, it's almost like he had parkinsons before he was a quadraplegic, poor guy. I was surprised that Lex Luther's sidekicks weren't as distracting and cringeworthy as they might have been, they seemed to have skimmed that hollywood millstone across the surface of this film without it dropping through and smashing the whole artifice.

     

     

    As an extended edition, i could tell parts that would have been cut back for the screened release. Like where lois goes into some quivering poetic internal dialogue about flying with a god whilst flying superman takes her up through the clouds. I swear that they must have had a shag up there inside some cloud, and that super made her forget using that neat trick of his.

     

     

    Anyway, it's an interesting but flawed time capsule/10

     

    you forgot to mention how gorgeous margot kidder used to be. she was like courtney cox after masters of the universe but with knee length skirts

  4. Just played my second noise show. Highlights include me inadvertently cutting my hand and bleeding all over my pedals in the second half.

     

    good show. and you looked like you were having a good time.

     

    i miss the days when Noise musicians were all trying to outdo each-other on being disgusting slobby people who don't give a fuck with 'extreme' views. COCK Esp is a perfect representation of that era

     

    i think they still do- not so much with 'extreme' views but certainly on the "being disgusting slobby people" eg. that haters

    they did a performance in the netherlands in the late 80s where they sat with their backs to the audience watching blank static on an analog television set. doesn't get more intense than that imo

  5. franz falckenhaus' stories from my cold war: very intriguing warm ambient electronic music that serves as 'a rainy and melancholic infiltration into the romantic darkness of international espionage.' i almost wish legowelt would re-do these songs with some better analogue equipment as some of it sounds as though it's coming from a vintage commodore 64 video game instead of a more serious film or television soundtrack as implied by the tracklisting

  6. can't believe there are people who would pay to watch 'man of steel'. i haven't watched a superman film since the christopher reeves ones and i even thought those were too many superman films. then i watched 1 episode of lois and clark (with dean cain) and realized superman isn't believable when it's not christopher reeves.

  7. wtf is that photo? someone retouch her head on something? is it supposed to be funny and I'm missing it?

     

    it's supposed to be funny because kim k is rumored to be a whore (having made her career from being romantically linked with various male figures) and thus- her vagina is loose so her birth was effortless. also, she's happy because she has a baby as babies increase one's happiness by a factor of 70%.

    The electronic music studio of the University Of Melbourne was Established in it's present form in 1973 with the aid of a grant from the Gulbenkian Foundation, At it's heart is a Synthi 100 analogue synthesiser, Made by EMS of London, Linked to a PDP 11/10 Computer. The studio serves as a work shop for composers, as well as providing teaching facility for the University's Faculty Of Music; In addition, research is taken into Analogue hybrid and direct sound synthesis.

     

    while you might imagine something in the realm of bbc's radiophonic workshop, this is actually more like dick raaijmaker's output for the philips research laboratories except (maybe) a little more structured. 6 tracks of gorgeously cold and wobbly electronics occasionally blasting out rays of noise.

     

    seriously mind-bending stuff
