Warm beer, cold women...

Braid - Frame and Canvas.

So this album came to my attention a good 6 years ago now I would say. I remember when I was 14 and going to shows I met this girl and this guy who were a couple, I think they guy was about 3 years older than me and she was about one maybe? I can't even really remember. Anyway, I really wanted to be in a band at this point and these guys wanted to start one up, and they cited Braid as their main influence. I didn't have a fucking clue who they were so they gave me a CD, and I wont lie, when I first heard it I thought it was the gayest shit ever, I just wanted to listen to Canaan and didn't have time to be a pussy. I dug it out about 2 years later or so and realised it's a brilliant record, 2 years too late really. But yeah, there's the story behind that. Really awesome mid 90's emo, get on it.

This is Bjork's place. She was given to it by the Icelandic government for her 'outstanding contribution to Icelandic culture". I want this house.

The Yeh-Yeh Girl From Paris.

Recently, my mind has been wondering into pretty weird places music wise. The most recent thing that I've really, really got into is 60's french pop, specifically female French singers. It started by finding an album by France Gall called Baby Pop, it's absolutely perfect. The appeal to me is definitely the way the French accent sounds, it's very infectious. I'm going to shut up pretending to know what I'm talking about and put a link up to a record by Francoise Hardy called "The Yeh-Yeh Girl From Paris".

I like this record a lot. Wow, 3 posts in one day.

Lazy.

The only reason I'm really updating this is because I should be adapting a short story into a script but I really do not want to do it. So it goes...

In a few days time I'm going to Prague which I am incredibly excited about, it's the first time I've ever been on a proper holiday, I never really went places with my family or otherwise. So this is going to be pretty special in that respect. Expect photographs of a million things you wont be interested in to surface on here.

I came across this video via a post from a friend the other day. I find it an incredible piece of documentary film making, well paced, emotional and beautifully shot. If I had a spare 3 million I'd snap up his collection in a shot.

That's about it really.

Two days ago I decided after completing half of an essay that I had had enough and I wanted to get out of my house. I had toyed with the idea of going to see Om and Sunn O))) for a good few months, but never really finalized my plan. My God, I am so, so fucking glad that I did. I have genuinely never witnessed anything like it in my entire life. It was so loud that I thought my voice box was going to explode. The whole audience was in a trance like state, it's something that I truly cannot describe to you, you'll have to go see them yourself, which I absolutely URGE you to do.

nowison.

The Creature 'Hesh Law' premieres are coming up this week, some have happened and the London viewing is Thursday, I can't go to it myself due to playing a show with Sex Vid that day (I'm kind of bummed about this but I shouldn't be, oops) but people should check it out where they can, if Black Metal is anything to go by this will be a rager.

THE BOSS.

I'm pretty miffed as to why i haven't made a Bruce Springsteen post yet, I would of thought it'd be something I'd of done a long time ago, apparently not. Back in July I was lucky enough to go see Springsteen in Hyde Park, managed to get tickets at the box office on the day, even with it being sold out for a few months before the date itself. I was abso-fucking-lutlely blown away on so many levels. weeks before his 60th birthday he had more stamina than a lot of punk/hardcore bands that I have seen, easily one of the best live shows I have been lucky enough. E Street band played flawlessly, I can't fault it in the way. I drank far too much cider and on the way home ate 2 double cheeseburgers, nearly killed myself trying to hop a bush and took a piss on Bond Street. I fucking hate cider, but there was no other choice but to drink it.

Basically, the point of this post is to say that Springsteen is fucking incredible, he writes perfect songs with great lyrics. A lot of bands that you may not even thing do owe a lot to this man. I implore you to please give him a try, if you haven't already.

Doing horribly at updating this, I'm refusing to let it die so I'm going to try and do something off the top of my head with no real direction. Insect Warfare went well, we played mediocre but fun was definitely had by all. Spoonful of Vicodin are incredibly nice guys, we'll be keeping in contact with them. I would post up a link to their 7" but they need the support, so if you want to get hold of their stuff then give Sam at Keep Screaming Records a message here. While you are at it check out the release they are on This Comp Kills Fascists, pretty easy to get hold of/steal whatever, I'm sure a lot of people will have this already.

Until The Night Takes Us opens at Raindance film festival on the 7th October (this Thursday), it looks interesting, I don't think I will go, but I probably should.



I have tickets for Slayer on 25th November, only the second time I've seen them and the first time was in 2002, I know, it's fucking criminal, but I've slept on it so fuck off.

Where have I been?

So I haven't updated this in a very long time due to moving into my new place. We get it set up on Saturday I think so I'll be on this a lot better in the future. All I have to post at the moment is this...



The prospect of this is scaring me so much, Sex Dungeon playing with INSECT WARFARE. I'd post an album or split or something up but currently I am sat in Rough Trade and don't have the patience, I have a massive headache.

If you want the first SD demo, then you can download it here.

We are recording tomorrow for a tape that we will have at all upcoming shows, as well as some patches of a fucking wolf being crucified, that's pretty cool I think.

As I said, I'll try and get on this better when the internet is sorted.

This photo is brilliant.

free your mind

I haven't updated this in a while. Been busy I suppose, but not really.
Played in Hull yesterday to about 0 people, but we got given a lot of free booze and a floor to sleep on so we were cool. We listened to the whole of Dopesmoker on the way up there, a cosmic journey was had. Today I feel like human mess.

A couple of photo's from when I went to my friend Louis' BBQ about a month back...









Above is hands down the best thing I have ever accomplished. Ever.

Listen to Electric Wizard

Nothing to report, I feel really on edge today.

Back to Kent...

So I've finally moved out of my old flat on Bethnal Green Road, as much as at the beginning we all loved it, I hate the place now. It's like living on the sun inside an oven thats being fucked by a volcano. Now I find myself in Kent for just under 3 weeks with no money and nothing to do, I can't imagine this being very excited. I can't even move in my tiny room here due to my clutter being absolutely everywhere, it's going to be odd sleeping in a single bed for a long period of time also. However, I had waiting for me when i arrived home the Travis Millard print that I have mentioned before, and it's much more impressive in real life. Anyway, music I guess...

DS-13 - KILLED BY THE KIDS.



I remember first hearing about DS-13 from Sweden when a a short lived but real fucking goodband called The Outpatients played a cover of them. I decided to check them out and they have proved to be one of my favourite thrash punk/fastcore bands to date. If you like hardcore punk in any way, you will love this. Download here.

gnar buttery.

This weekend has been my favourite weekend for a very long time, Laura came and visited me away from the valleys and castles and wizards and shit and stayed from Friday until Monday, needless to say that was absolutely awesome, what a good human being. She got me this too which is absolutely sick...



Hat by French, rad.

I'm all packed up ready for the move back home for a brief period of time, then back up to London in September, I'm going to miss it, but I'm sure I'll be up and down a fair bit. The new place is amazing, I'll get photo's of the motherfucker when I move in and put them up here I guess.

Sex Dungeon playing Hull on August 31st, if anyone from near there reads this, which I doubt, come say hello and party.

Today

is definitely a very very good day.



DRUDKH - AUTUMN AURORA



This has been getting a lot of plays as of recent. Dark, brooding and atmospheric black metal. I feel like I'm riding through a forest on a horse that is on fire when I listen to this. Download here.
