    LOVE IT. watched it twice this weekend.

     

    Bad Santa

    love it

     

    Yes.

     

    Yes.

     

    Downloading Gremlins now, because it's one of the all-time great fucked up Christmas movies.

     

    Just downloaded Gremlins cuz my girlfriend has never seen it.

     

    Turned out to be dubbed in spanish.

     

    Now don't have enough internets allowance on my broadband dongle to download another whole film.

     

    Don't know whether I should show her Gremlins 2 (which, inexplicably, I have on DVD but not Gremlins) or just put on another film she hasn't seen,

    like Goodfellas.

     

    Probably should've posted this in the FWP thread.

  2. Had one of those "could only remember the bit before waking up" dreams again about an hour ago.

     

    This one was kind of disturbing though. I witnessed some teenagers in gym shorts on a street corner downtown, and realized they were in a shootout with each other using automatic weapons.

     

    It's as if they got bored with virtual gun play and wanted to do it for real.

     

    Had one of those this morning. I can vaguely remember lots of strange events happening in a warehouse, but the only bit I can really remember is feeding a jar of garlic, cheese and onion jam to a horse, just before waking up.

     

    Also, upon waking, I thought "that's not jam, that's chutney."

  3. Oh my goodness! oh my dayum!

     

    LP preordered!

     

    Just let my lady know (who I wasn't with when Oversteps came out that) she may be a WATMM widow until march.

     

    "What's that hun? You wanna share some secret pain? Hold on one minute love" *hunches over laptop* "Some guy in Oregon has a theory about one of the track titles!''

  4. A while ago I had a dream in the form of a documentary. It was about Rob and Sean of Autechre and the guy they'd been looking after for years. He was a blind guy from their neighborhood. The documentary was like the usual rough around the edges type of thing that you'd usually get on BBC2 or Ch4. It showed them chatting to him and winding him up in an unpretentious manner and also sleeping top and tails with him when they stayed at his place.

    In one scene the blind guy started to act up and get all egotistical and they had to talk him down and calm him. there was another scene where they went to a party in the late Dean Martin's house and they were sitting around in Dean Martin's 'sound room'.

    They were talking about how great he was at making mix tapes and they were listening to one at the time. At one point the tape fizzled out and went into a slowed down version of Je'taime, much to everyones chargrin. Just as they all looked like they were losing their patience, the tape immediately cut to some kind electro/hiphop. Rob and Sean started laughing and saying "That Dean Martin, He was such a joker!"

  5. Need to be more specific with this. Which album with which film?

     

    For Human Centipede I would nominate one of the ridiculously over the top 'dark' early 'Snares LPs, Doll Doll Doll perhaps?

     

    Also, 'Songs About My Cats' for the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Maybe begin the album when they first set foot in the factory.

     

    Trying to think of an Autechre-worthy film.....Draft 7.30 may work with A Scanner Darkly...

  6. what makes you think it sounds rob brown and not sean booth??

     

    sean has a very distinctive drum programming style. he can pick up a drum machine and make it sound like him, if that makes sense. his style sounds hip-hop influenced, but with a very clipped, almost militaristic feel to it. he's got his own unique sense of timing. robs got a looser, funkier feel to his stuff, much more improv based. you really get a sense of how they interact listening to their concert bootlegs (esp. the untilted & quaristice tour stuff).

     

    of course, i have no way of knowing for sure how this track was done. maybe it was a jam the 2 of them did, maybe it was sean intentionally trying to do a rob-style track, who knows. just from an initial listen, my first impression was that this sounds more like rob.

     

    on one hand, i don't like disecting this stuff. i like the 'autechre' mystique and the sense of mystery behind it. on the other hand, the fanboy in me can't help but want to peek under the hood a little bit and figure out how this stuff is made.

     

    Funnily enough this totally checks out with something I downloaded the other day, check it out:

  7. Has anyone got this yet? I ordered my ticket a few days a ago but have yet to receive anything.

     

    Website states download codes will be sent out from Monday the 28th of March onwards.

     

    At least I assume it was the 28th. The message was posted on the 24th and just says 'Monday onwards'.

     

    (Obviously it's a bit stupid of me to think somebody here might have this and isn't already all over this place boasting about being the first to hear it)
