    Obvious i know: Best films of 2005

    I was expecting to like it more than other people seemed to but I was suprised how much more I did.

    Obvious i know: Best films of 2005

    It's really slow and strange. It's basically about a guy heading out to a motorcycle race in his van and have strange meetings with different girls. It's the sort of thing that would get ruined if I explained why I thought it was so good so I don't know if I can sell it really other than just...

    Obvious i know: Best films of 2005

    They haven't been mentioned but I thought Birth and The Brown Bunny were both really great.

    ipod/mp3 earbuds health risk

    I quite like this bit: "I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal components deaf". It's like Winston's confessions at the end of 1984.

    Modern Dub

    I don't know if it exactly counts, but I was really into "Move Me" by Gudrun Gut this year. It's based around a kind of tango loop I guess but it's really really thick sounding To me, it sounds like dub, but the vocals and the way the loop works off this rigid muted guitar click, all the...

    r&b

    Anybody else into Chris Brown's album? I love "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" from it but there's a lot of good stuff on the cd. El Rae ft. Triple Threat "Tonight (DOK remix)" is really awesome too.

    That's for real? That's incredible.

    things you have noticed.

    Dr Phil just had four well dressed, middle aged white women on their hands and knees beating office chairs on his stage. They were sobbing and yelling "It's not my fault!"at the chairs while they punched them. One woman stood up and threw hers at the ground repeatedly, trying to destroy it. None...

    TOSSER ALERT! vincent gallo to curate all tomorrow's parties

    **maybe this post needs a spoiler warning??*** I wasn't sold on Brown Bunny until the end (after the blowjob scene) when you realise what it's all about and your view of him is totally changed. It made the whole movie seem like The Swimmer or something. I haven't tried watching it again, but...

    Sa-Ra "Second Time Around"

    Hollywood's amazing. I haven't heard this release though.

    K.W Jeter

    It's no worse than some of the weird turns Dick has taken on occasion and it didn't turn me off reading more Jeter any but I was suprised by it and was sort of curious if maybe there were connections between the various aspects I just missed. I've got the Signet one I think (can't find the...

    K.W Jeter

    I was really suprised by the second half of Dr Adder and a bit dissapointed (I wrote my post right after finishing the first part). It seemed to really lose it's way for a while (especially when he was kidnapped from the sewers) although once Adder returned things seemed to get back on track...

    Grading of Films

    I read somewhere, although I forget where now (might have been here actually), that now some companies are bypassing focus groups and just doing brain scans on people exposed to their products to try to guage public reactions/adjust their product. That's gotta lead to some pretty spectacular...

    Grading of Films

    I remember in a Z'ev interview in that Research Industrial handbook that he was saying that if yu are listening to a prolonged held note your vocal chords try to harmonize with it, so that when there's a suprise and they cut from a sustained ominous tone in a horror/thriller movie to a blast of...

    Feel good brit flick of the year...

    Check out "Close Your Eyes" if you haven't seen it. Just watched it the other day and it was really great. I normally can't get into police hunting down the serial killer stuff at all but this one was way above the rest. It's got a complete shit cover (at least over here) but the film's worth...
