I GOT PAID BITCHES

And that is basically the reason why I haven't posted for such a long time. Expect my posts to fluctuate in accordance to how much money is in my bank account, because lets face it, getting drunk on sailor Jerrys and staring at girls in a bar or a club, is waaay better than getting drunk on aftershave and staring at girls at home on the Internet and that is a scientific fact, from science. So yeah..... this website is funny see if you can spot Morgan freeman!

Lars von trier, the son of nudist communist parents, was always going to turn out a leftist. His approach to avant-garde film making spawned the birth of the danish film movement dogme 95. Dogme 95 is basically a refusal by certain film makers to use special effects, Hollywood budgets, cheap gimmicks and post production modifications, the idea being to focus on the actual storylines and the actors performances. His new film antichrist, starring Willem dafoe, is about a grieving couple who retreat to their cabin ‘Eden’ in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse. This film caused a massive stir at Cannes this year as it seems to suggest that women are evil and medieval witch burning was justified..............yeah and???? Whatever the interpretations of this film it made 4 people faint during it's showing at cannes so you just know it's going to be a fucking awesome surreal fest of avant-garde cinema that can't be missed. No uk release date as of yet I'll keep you posted though.

It sucks when a band you love break up. Especially after just one album, because you can only listen to one album (even if it is 34 songs long) so many times before you get bored and although the many other bands that they go on to form fill the void a little, you're still hoping and praying for something new. In case you haven't guessed I'm talking about cap'n jazz, who broke up in 1995. Although I was only 9 at the time, I'm sure being a young musical Jedi I must have sensed something had disappeared from the world and probably cried or shat myself or both because for about a year afterwards I felt an ultimate sadness........ completely void of emotion.... empty....an emptiness I choose to fill with alcohol and drugs..........bad times, Age 9-10 was a dark period in my life. Here are some of my favourite "kinsella worship" bands that are still together, do not feature any members of cap'n jazz and stop me from reverting back to my pre-teen drug binges.


If cap'n jazz were a person and had a slightly eccentric twin Algernon cadwallader would be that twin. The band sounds almost exactly like cap'n jazz but different enough for it to have it's own personality, the vocals especially are uncanny! You can buy the AC album here and also a limited press of their 7" which shall be mine as soon as it's back in print!

ALGERNON CADWALLADER - KATIES CONCIOUS

This town needs guns from oxford have definitely got the kinsella/von Bohlen guitar style down which they infuse with technical drums, softly sung melodies and witty lyrics. If you live in the UK you can catch them at several festivals this summer including truck and fringe festival.

I've already shown love for this band in my first post but I can't make this list without them! Native are a lot more technical than cap'n jazz ever were however you can still hear the connection in their music. Their E.p. is now out in the UK on big scary monsters please buy it and show some UK support for this band.

native - ride the tide

Wow Alex prager you are a genius! Every photo I've seen has been amazing, her work is super vivid and saturated, retro yet also contemporary. Alex's photos also have a dark twisted undertone too, which reminds me of David lynch's dreamy, surreal, yet dark style. Alex Prager lives and works in Los angeles where she has been taking pictures since her early twenties. Her first book, The Book Of Disquiet was published in 2005 and since then she has displayed her work in numerous galleries, including the michael hoppen gallery in London and more recently in new york.

Ahhhh Cap'n jazz like the best band for druken sing-a-longs ever, fact, you can't look at the sky without looking right throooooough it! Cap'n jazz were only around for a little while but in that time they made such a huge impact and influenced so many muscians plus they have the best named album ever......ready.... it's called [burritos, inspiration point, fork balloon sports, cards in the spokes, automatic biographies, kites, kung fu, trophies, bananna peels we've slipped on and egg shells we've tippy toed over]....or shmap'n shmazz for short. After cap'n jazz broke up the band formed loads of other amazing bands including american football, ghosts and vodka, owls and Joan of arc. Favourite songs of mine are in the clear, we are scientists!, oh messy life and troubled by insects. I'll only post the 1st cd of their analphabetapolothology if anyone wants the 2nd cd leave me a comment and I'll post it!
