    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    apologies if it's already been mentioned but just saw Van Sant's Paranoid Park the other day and this could be his best film to date. Erratic though he has been, since he settled on this minimal aesthetic (Gerry, Elephant, Last Days) he's just been incomparable as far as i'm concerned. PP...

    Radio On/Chris Petit

    Also, seriously worth checking out is Petit's collaboration with Iain Sinclair- London Orbital which is easy to grab on dvd now- a kind of left-wing ballardian psychogeographical drive around the M25- a kind of remix of Sinclair's book- i'ld get more critically poetic about it but work is doing...

    Moving to SE London- HELP!!!!!

    well, just for completion's sake, brockley it has turned out to be- quiet (after wasting way more of my life out of my head rather than in it, slight transport issues may help encourage more creative pursuits), close to college and not exactly a labyrinth away from any insanity that we may...

Much thankness in...

    Your most tenuous or absurd claims to fame

    in a moment of horror that i relive day by day, i ended up on local tv news promoting finger skateboarding (dont ask) stood behind a mock cocktail bar following a john stalker article on drink driving (for those who dont know, stalker was something to do with the police and now sells double...

    Who else thinks this is so true?

    sure, maybe they're never going to match the wired weird heights if late 70's early 80's but the last one i heard, The Unnameable, had some truly extraordinairy barrier battering tunes (Cyber Insect, Dr Bucks Letter etc.) and what about the Von Sudenfeld thing too? Sure, who would check out...

    JG Ballard "Cocaine Nights"

    To crassly summarise at work with no book to hand, Baudrillard sees Crash as inherently amoral and a mutated development of ideas like the Mcluhanite extension of the body. Crash reflects a deconsturction of the body- so not extension but disruption and therefore post-human. This can in turn...

    JG Ballard "Cocaine Nights"

    oh, and i meant ot say for those that don't know of it- is about the most ludicrously brilliant reference sourse for information and as some particularly brilliant interviews with various artist, theorists etc etc who have all been influenced by him.
