    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    We Jam Econo - The Story of the Minutemen (Tim Irwin 2005). As a long time fan who had never seen any footage this was made for me. I guess it is a bit light on context and the vexed question of whether they had already peaked artistically with 'Double Nickels...' but I thoroughly enjoyed...

    UK ISPs ???

    At home I've used Demon since 1997. It's quite expensive (£25 per month for 2.2Meg) but the connection has been reliable and they don't make you use their software. I connect via an iMac and don't have any issues. Generally, over the time I've been with them, it has just worked. At work we use...

    OK time to fess up

    I'm actually fairly convinced my admission will be hard to beat - Wendy and Lisa doesn't come close :o :o :o

    OK time to fess up

    Most of my friends think most of the music I like is embarrassing. Still in my mid-teens I was a big fan of one of the most disreputable genres in rock music. 80’s Neo-prog. The first gig I went to was Marillion and I was keen on Pallas, Pendragon, IQ and Twelfth Night. I was even (briefly) in...

    Grim Britannia

    The Black Panther As anyone seen this: The Black Panther (1977) ? I've always assumed it was the ultimate in 70s Brit Grim, but I've never seen it to confirm... sounds good though.

    New Wavers making music for kid's shows

    Sonny Sharrock - not exactly New Wave but may be of interest - apparently did the music for 'Space Ghost Coast to Coast' which seems to have been something on Cartoon Network. I haven't heard or seen it though... Has anyone here?

    Hauntology

    Better late? Some more: 'In Heaven' from the Eraserhead soundtrack... Richard Hawley - 'Coles Corner' with its invocation of crooners from the past... Porter Ricks - 'Biokinetics' with that muffled underwater sound... Whitehouse - 'Halogen' with various bits of thai pop music and other...

    Hauntology

    What about some of the Zoviet France stuff - thinking of some of 'Shouting at the Ground', all of 'Decriminalisation of Country Music' and 'Eostre' and I'm sure there are more... Also 'The Monstrous Soul' by Lustmord - built around samples from 'Night of the Demon'... does that count? I may...

    The Young Gods & Longevity

    Just wanted to concur with K-Punk's latest entry regarding The Young Gods. I too saw them on their recent tour and was blown away. I've seen them a few times since the early nineties but to me they seemed better than ever. As they were playing I almost wept having the same thought about how come...

    Yes - the 'Omega Sessions' must be the one I'm thinking of...

    bad brains

    I think, although I can't vouch for it, that 'Black Dots' covers some demos made in DC before they moved to NY and recorded the ROIR tape - some same songs then, but different versions... as you say some of the ROIR tape songs then turn up on 'Rock for Light'. The songs you mention isn't on...

    As you won't be surprised to learn I seem to remember HR was in the slammer because he had been busted for drugs... 'Sacred Love' is of course fantastic... I once played 'I Against I' to a Rage Against the Machine fan on the 'this is where it all starts from' tip - he didn't get it at all -...

    bad brains

    I was lucky enough to see Bad Brains in the late eighties on their 'Quickness' tour - apparently they weren't at their best, but HR hanging off the ceiling lights at Manchester International and singing while the rest of the band sort of barely moved and yet played at 100mph is something you...

    bad brains

    I suggest you try their next LP, 'I Against I' - it's less of a hardcore/reggee record more a punk/funk/reggae mashup... some incredible riffs though and fantastic HR screaming/shouting/singing. After that things get progressively worse, although to be honest I haven't listened to much past...

    Giallo 'allo?

    Argento is one of my favourites. Have you seen his latest - The Card Player? There have been some complaints that he has dropped the ball, but I thoroughly enjoyed it... it isn't that gory, but still has enough thematic and stylistic tics to make it interesting... The 'animal' tiliogy are all...

    Mark Stewart/Whitehouse - Gig Advice for a Hick

    Next week I will be driving down to London (from Leicester) to the ATP/Mark Stewart/Whitehouse gig next week at SE One (near London Bridge) and was wondering if anybody could give me any advice about where to park, etc. Normally for a London gig I park the car at Brent Cross and get the tube to...

    Movie Grooves I'm sure you know about this but there are some samples on www.moviegrooves.com that may help... I was about to mention Cannibal Holocaust but that's by Riz Ortolani...whoops... :confused:

    Ringos I believe that they are now available again. I haven't spotted any in the flesh though... This may be of interest to readers of this thread: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/foodmonthly/story/0,,1363886,00.html
