  1. wish i knew, sounds like an F8-piece of atmosphere,,,,,,, thanks for the recs. defo going to hunt those. life & loves looks like interesting. never heard of it before. btw: would you (or anyone else reading this) happened to have watched a show about some kids who were on an island and acted like detectives solving crimes that took place at a hotel. one of the kids- his dad worked at this particular hotel. the other kids were locales who lived there and they formed a "famous five" type mystery solving club. i think this show was either british or australian (but definitely filmed on a tropic island) wasnt this, was it (clutches/straws)? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086675/
  2. seems like a lot of parallels in the time of the build-up to the LA-riots in 92 similar issues+ 20+years frustration, info wars douches on the streets......i'd be less cornered but then theres that old rascal Putin stoking fires on our other horizon and Trump is running for prez even that soul-eating (allegedly) cunt Hilary Clinton seems sane to that heap of treated dna, which is exactly the gimmick pain + insomnia = weed o.d. = posts like these
  3. fuckin mint, when their raft boats are covered with monkeys at the very end......the horror the horror grip everything you can find by Popul Vuh
  4. haven't seen those. i've heard of the singing detective but never watched an episode. i have some other shows in the same vein though, including the sandbaggers & c.a.t.s. eyes with leslie ash before she blew a beehive and married lee chapman. i've also been meaning to check out raven but always end up getting distracted. have you seen any of those? do yourself the honour (and pleasure) of immersing yourself in TSD, then PFH.........not for chronology, its simply that TSD is more deeply layered, stranger, captures the varied darker edges of all the layers of noir imaginable.......the song n dance routines in any other context/production would fail miserably (look out for the Dem Bones routine), but here they compound the madness PFH is Bob Hoskins at his peak, the story is much more bleak, pure WWII era British dystopianism, a long way from modern aspiration but the moods, the quiet desperation & the score's visionary cheeriness compounds it......i trainspotted so many tracks off both albums actually. Both get right into the human psyche like few others, they wouldnt get made today, well maybe in the US & trainspotted 90% of the tunes (nuff ssaid) if u aint already you might like The Life & Loves of a She-Devil (by Fay Wheldon & huge Philip K Dick fan) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098849/ def a worthy investment of your time, superb anarchy
  5. gripped in Bristol recently Nino Rota's score of Juliet of the Spirits, 5quid & the pressing was solid. you have the vinyl of Fellini's 1st colour film supposedly made after he'd imbibed acid for the 1st time too in your hands, its only 5pounds...... quick b4 any1 else sees it http://www.discogs.com/Nino-Rota-Juliet-Of-The-Spirits-Giulietta-Degli-Spiriti-Original-Sound-Track-Recording/release/3466928 the links dont do the tracks justice & it can sound like some wanky cabaret,,,,but in among the filler are some absolute gems. Def a worth punt of you shekels. (vid below has wrong audio, better watched in silence to actually just confuse matters further, but it shows Fellini's trip peakin lol)
  6. aye it kinda bridged age groups at the time have you seen the original BBC version of Dennis Potter's Pennies From Heaven or the superior The Singing Detective? much better conceived personal & pvt universes, dripping with layered strangeness & atmosphere.....always gives me the fear when i see "The Forest of Dean" signposted along border-country lanes late at night
  7. def a product of its time......its dated BBC sci-fi = zero budget, wobbly props & walking lilies trying to french snog every cunt
  8. Were you at home? I thought it was literally impossible not to have some roach-thickness card lying around your house. nah was shacked up down with her indoors.....uber-stealth vaping was the answer Gutted for this bs chap, fuck me if there arent enough proper Fagin cunts in the world as it is if u aint already (& while stating the bleeding obvious sry), get your locks changed innit

  15. ah that explains it,,,,, human vanity worm in full effect as a museum boffin who deals with archives.......you could put such a detailed exhibition together; the music, rare album art pieces, ephemera, sigils, PC's art & Hipgnosos photo prints, poetry, live sets/archives/photos, books and texts they drew inspiration from, the list goes on,,,,,,,, instead we have an asshole who's too cool for school..... its not a perfect world, but at least theres the music
  16. i tried getting a straight answer from that bloke a few years ago about ordering specific records. In the the end i gave up (bought through Gemm & Discogs instead), due to much more detailed info he was like a condensed version of every record shop asshole you could ever hope to meet, which takes some skill via written email (Black Sun logo t-shirt ordered)

  18. Sometimes Larry Clark comes across as the ultimate right-wing scare monger of liberal decadence...... but he made some top filems. Have you see Ken Park? A seriously uncomfortable watch...... at least during Gummo there were some borderline wtf lols,,,,,,,,, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209077/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_47
