  1. Dead Man (J Jarmusch).....watched again last night......def one of the better modern westerns. Love the rich b&w, the chunky Indian, that wee sequence with the native's faces popping up mid-hallucination,,,,,and with lashings of William Blake references, whats not to like. 10/10

     

    Sleuth - - - Michael Caine & L Olivier in a claustrophobic battle of nerves/wit/who/what/how......they seriously dont make em like this anymore 11//10

     

    Marina Abramovic/The Artist Is Present.....if you're in the creative arts &/or looking for inspiration/insights this girl has it in droves.....superb insight into what makes this particular human tick. 9/10

     

    Fire in Babylon......outstanding doc on the evolution of West Indies cricket....you dont have to be a sports or cricket fan to enjoy this. The clips of Holding/Garner/Roberts/Marshall bouncing every cunt in sight out of their way is a sight to behold and salute......twelfty5006/10

  2. the entire collection of projection vids (<--superb!) & tunes that Coil used on their Colour Sound Oblivion box-set (CSO 15&16) is available to download on archive.org via CC-licensing

     

    very generous of you, Mr Christopherson

  3. Sleaford Mods - Austerity Dogs...like the bastard love-child of John Cooper Clarke lost at a ketamine soaked free-party. Gotta reprozent the Norrinum heavy Bronx peoples because it nails northern British urban anger @ recession bs....(also for coining the lyrics "Brian Eno, what the fook does he know, wiv his alien 'air-coot,,,,")

     

    Cabaret Voltaire - Plasticity.......mainly to hear "Low Cool" again which is a complete Everest of a track

     

    Weather Report - Mr Gone.......2 diamonds in this seam,,,,,,the self titled track & "River People", both brilliantly wonky proto-houseness

  4. harry hill ~ joke after joke. not political. no agenda except making you laugh.

    al murray ~ false persona of a pub landlord, pretty funny act. not really genuine, just goes for laughs.

    stewart lee, used to love tomorrow with richard not judy when i was a kid, along with gamesmaster and bad influence. mr lee ain't very funny though. he can write well and string together creative sentences. read his stuff in the guardian. poor man is full of anger for some reason.

     

     

    Harry Hill - under-rated, but his video funnies take on Jeremy Beadle's old gig was purest sell-out

     

    Al Murray - started Pub Landlord over 20 years ago and it shows. Typical ex-public-school/Oxbride education as loved and supported by the BBC. Respect for standing against Farage in the lection though

     

    Stewart Lee - national treasure and about the only comedian in the UK to show any bollocks. He's a lot more encompassing than just mere anger,,,,if you only took that away from his diatribe you missed the many points......Carpet Remnant World is genius and the tickets for Room With A Stew are burning a hole in my pocket

     

    others......Patrice O'Neal can be funny as fuck, proper belly laughs, Andrew O'Neill (no relation) is a young British comic twisting bits on occultism/ritual magic (like totally whoah) and his show on the history of heavy metal was a soundscaping/pop-culture revelation

  5. it had a kind of Chris Morris/Jam-era floatiness to it (see notes above on the music), interspersed with genuine violence (eg: the Karzai assassination attempt and the John Simpson bombing clip), so you get this fucked up sense of feeling like you've dropped some kind of benzo's (like virtual-apathy/confusion) while searing its main points into your mind better than most could hope to achieve

     

    history as it should be taught in every school

  6. also Blue is the Warmest Colour = c'est magnifique....and not just for the cornucopia of slice-licking intensity. Brilliant love story (if you're not feeling too cynical) & Adele Exarchopoulos drives the story on with her presence, personality and admittedly superb derriere. Not that i'm objectifying,,,,,,,,

  7. The Devils (1971), Ken Russell's epically surreal and grotesque vision of medieval France. Everything about it is visceral & visionary, from Derek Jarman's delicious sets to the performances of Oliver Read & Vanessa Redgrave. If you can find the restored version you're in for a real treat & in a strange sense i dont think that kind of film would even be made today. Regression?

     

    Altered States - now i've done all kinds of substances over the years, but i never came round with a bloodied deer hoof in bed. Its quest/morality-tale/psychedelic vision all rolled into 1 searing midnight movie. Just dont ever watch it b4 any shroom ingestion....

  8. do you have any audio clips for 6/7 or 8 chap?

     

    Remote Viewing has to be one of my top-5 favourite Coil tracks....perfect brew of space jam hurdy-gurdy, Breton pipes and deeeeep cerebral grooves,

     

    #unsurpassable

  9. American Sniper 7/10 - Painting by numbers narrative. Realistic war scenes. It was alright.

     

    Nosferatu The Vampyre 10/10 - Dawgs, this is a masterpiece.

     

    Wagner through the mountain clouds, Georgian choral pieces, Popol Vuh everywhere,,,,and those are just the tunes

  10. The Young Ones .....kind of a nostalgia trip & to re-watch the greatness of Rik Mayall. Its so dense with characters and anarchic absurdity, Alexei Sayle is is a maniac gem with Balofsky, SPG/Special Patrol Group rodent thing,,,,,brill

     

     

    Transparent - funny as fuck in places, poignant, had a hard time with the self-absorbed offspring doe, bah humbug
