    Batman

    superhero comics are secular myths. the fans have already bought into them. i honestly find it pretty piquant grown, educated men are seduced by these ridiculous ubermensch fantasies. of course heroes in public life are in short supply these days. times are jaded. perseus was on of the greek...

    Batman

    I'm surprised by the ongoing popularity of all these superhero franchises amongst grown adults. admit it you cynical aspiritual motherfuckers have a shameful secret jones for the Perseusian ;) maybe proves the concept of divinity is fundamental to human nature after all...

    questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?

    fair enough md! original records' too early to have been a dx7 tho, and Tina Weymouth played a prophet 5 on the Talking Heads stuff. I'll stop now...;)

    Brooker on 9/11 conspiracies

    I think we're pretty much in concurrence noel- i don't mean to be dismissive of anything you've said in this thread. nonetheless a single issue movement like this is easier for people to get a handle on- and the symbolic potency of the visual side of it, it could be fashioned into a pendant...

    K Punk/Pseud's Corner

    well it's of personal importance to him as you can tell from his writing- i suppose there's an element of having overcome odds or being a sort of autodidact. yes, i wouldn't say otherwise. but that's just how received opinion runs in this country and i don't expect it'll change anytime soon. i...

    Getting grant money

    my experience of this is solely in the arts field- but any grant you'll almost certainly have to be looking a year ahead. they're usually doled out in "seasons" a couple of times a year. also nearly everyone gets their first application turned down, but that may only apply to arts, as may all...

    Brooker on 9/11 conspiracies

    well he's avowedly saying nothing about it. i can see his frustration that this issue has effected the kind of grassroots groundswell he's spent most of his life trying to mobilise. this issue is particularly potent of course because it comes down to initiates vs. non initiates. it's virtually...

    K Punk/Pseud's Corner

    viz is a shit version of viz not when you've taken numerous stands over class issues. public school is always a shameful secret in this country- just look at the kicking banksy took this last week there is a real intellectual meanness to private eye, they have always abhorred the avant garde...

    black roots - white fruits

    Stelfox was right to say that racist is an ugly word in this context. racism in the contemporary sense wouldn't exist without the establishing imperialist conception of race. what's disappointing about this interview is Parrish reinforces the taxonomy you'd hope he'd reject, really as much for...

    Worst Film You've Ever Seen

    I'd consider it in the same class as witchfinder general, the wicker man etc and i'm far from alone in feeling that amongst genre enthusiasts. it's a classic. but you know...horses for different strokes an all that...baby love is another fun linda hayden movie though she isn't quite as unclothed.

    Worst Film You've Ever Seen

    what the fuck? blood on satan's claw is a GREAT film. one of my favourite british horror movies. there are as many varieties of bad as there are good so worst is hard to define...there are lame community made films such as Don Dohler's, or The Strangeness or somethin... but they are not...

    Making big prints from classic music photos

    Magazines and the like will have subrscription access to photo libraries innit, though nowadays you often see stuff that is clearly ripped off the web at shocking quality...if you know someone who screenprints i'd halftone them and blow them up that way, cheaper and can look ok ...top one's...

    Pointless But It Does My Head In

    PAUSE. This is clearly a minefield but the civilised question has to be why you WOULD want to stand beside a urinating stranger rather than why you wouldn't. i'm admitting to cubicle use...
