    Ennio Morricone io box DISC 3

    If you mean he has collaborated with or played in AMM you are mistaken. There's an outside possibility GINC shared a bill with them but as far as i know that never happened. Perhaps you're thinking of Frederic Rzewski who was in both MEV and GINC? Anyways... I'm far from an expert but as i...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    It's been a good while, but i seem to remember a lot of Linnea Quigley holding crappy animatronic puppets at arm's length and screaming. And a uh, shower scene. Shower scenes seem to have fallen out of fashion since their late 80s peak, but they always give a film a little zing. Just ask Ingmar...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    The thread strays into increasingly suspect territory... You should all watch more french gauloise movies. Get down to your local Picturehouse and sit through something middlebrow and european about a university professor having an affair with one of his students. Dial 747-Creepozoid. Here's...

    Recommend me...

    Kevin Drumms' post improv noise work is well worth a look- e.g , Sheer Hellish Miasma, Land of Lurches, the various cassettes etc. Also if you haven't already checked out Hecker's solo Sun Pandamonium that's pretty twisted...

    Damn, it's good to be king

    In the Kingdom of the baggy-trousered, the ironic name-buckled man is King.

    Film Noir

    Yeah, I'll second Blast of Silence, It's as hardboiled as they come! I can't really see the new wave influence, at least that way round- plotwise it's strictly "B" territory, doesn't entirely hold up or make sense- it's the execution that makes the film. Looks like a sooty daguerrotype and the...

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    Deep End (1971) Set in a besmirched late 60s London, this has naive John Moulder-Brown (whom Hammerheads will know from Vampire Circus) and sexually precocious Jane Asher as bored teenage attendants in a crumbling, echoing public baths. Can (billed as "The Can") and Cat Stevens on the...

    sexy music

    Real deep ambient throb works for me, somethin like Ian Nagoksi "Violets for your Furs" or the first side of New Humans "Disassociate" If you have to do the sweetyboy thing one of those mid 90's Ron G "blends" tapes are about as good as it gets I've found Sade's first album in the record...

    uk rock versus us rock

    Crazy talk from the rock gatekeeper! As i understood it they presented themselves as a glam rock band of sorts...though of course i only heard them and their story very after the time. The bozoid thuggish quality they have is essentially ROCK in my eyes. or ears. Sham 69 and Discharge on the...

    uk rock versus us rock

    aaaaaaaahaha! this somewhat functions as a metaphor for his writing- much as i appreciate it he will try and smuggle in the odd wrong 'un when yr not looking. Electric Eels (Cleveland). Mainliner. Rapeman. Zep. DC.

    hip-hop, where to begin?

    Could that really be Katch-22's Huntkillbury Finn in the comments thread? Didn't think so. Still- funny to see that name come up there of all places...

    the wire

    Sure- i'd agree w/ you on the piece on Portishead, it was somewhat unkind. I lived in Bristol back in the 90s and they were a big deal locally, for a start the name was great if you knew Portishead itself and also Geoff Barrow was a staunch supporter of the local hip hop scene... I'd say what...

    uk rock versus us rock

    I suppose we've got different definitions- to me Ladytron aren't rock at all, neither are the Durutti column...so we're probably talking at cross purposes. My definition isn't as broad as yours, I'd find it hard to draw a specific one up, but i suppose (to use an awful cliche) it comes down to...

    the wire

    I don't mean to fan the flames here- but aMinadaB it sounds like you just don't respond Fisher's mode of criticism, his focus is different to many and as Bassnation says can be laboured at times- but that's sorta what he's offering as a "post structuralist" critic...there are many who write...

    uk rock versus us rock

    The Americans stole the march on ROCK some time ago- lets say in the 80s sometime- in terms of sheer extremity, volume, dissonance and deconstruction. Though they are somewhat rivalled by the Japanese- as Gene Vincet said, "Give the japs a tin can and they'll give you back an autmomobile"...

    I suppose the distinction may be i'm dealing with cultural importation. I've seen a fair amount go on that seems to amount to people who want the kind of adulation mostly reserved for rock bands but just don't want to practice or any of that shit. The music, such as it is, is an afterthought...

    Sure, i think the Harry Pussy lp was too! except they actually did it. I applaud the sentiment, though, i'm haunted by memories of having gone out with someone who turned out to be Radiohead fan :eek: I think Noel mentioned Hanatarash upthread. This is the kind of noise show I'd like to...

    doesn't = as you say we've strayed OT- but as far as i've seen this whole thing is about being participatory. i'm not sure it's got much to do with "art" as such at all. and it's narrow. if you look at the visual artwork all these people produce for example it's virtually interchangable. there...
