Kid Harpoon, Brighton, Pressure Point 15.03.08

He was fucking quality. Short show but very sweet. Im not gonna do a 'badboi' review on him, as my NME skills arent quite the same. Gloria cycles were also pretty good but 'Helsinki' were WACK. The violinist of the powers that be was unbelievably smash, so if any1 finds any 'stills' of her for me to perv over. LET ME KNOW. Heres the link to the gig anyway. http://www.vimeo.com/799354

Look at this prick

Seeing as i Deleted my 'Photography Myspace' and replaced it with a flickr thats shit. I thought post one of my final pieces for my A-level up. It's that stupid spic called Amis, being 'punk as fuck'. The idea was inspired by Shirin Neshat, An Iranian contemporary artist. The 'writing stuff' over him is the lyrics of Cro-mags - Show you no mercy. No reason in particular i was just trying to 'get the punk out of him'. anyways....i bet you laughed for 30 seconds. peace x

'Big on the 2008 scene'. Believe it or not 'spez' actualy told me about this band...think its the first time hes ever found some half decent music. Basically they sound like a more northen version of the arctic monkekys crossed with the enemy, but with much better stories. They're pretty good...apparntly they were recently full on trevs, and their last.fm quote is 'raised on fish factories and shit nightclubs'. sounds a bit like football factory lingo to me so they must be good. Albums called 'Shop local, and the link for it is above.

Kevin Carter (1960-1994)

You might have heard the song 'Kevin Carter' by The Manic Street Preachers...well its about this man. He was an award winning South African photojournalist who committed suicide due to depression because of the many traumatic experiences during his career. His work is astonishing, and when you read a bit more about of him, hes probably one of the most risk taking photographers you've ever heard about. He was a member of the Bang Bang Club who were a group of photographers during the apartheid in south africa. One of the most shocking photos ive ever seen is the one below. Whether your interested in photography or not this man really is interesting to read about.

Pulp - Freaks (1987)

Download

This is Pulp's second album released in 1987. I never really listend to their old stuff until the last couple of months, since ive become a pulp finatic. Its a fucking good album, the lyrics on all of the tracks are quite deep (oh edgy jarvis). The tune you'll probably know off the album is 'Anoreix Beauty' which is fucking quality. My personal favorite is 'Fairground' purley because its weird as and when you listen to it, it puts quite a mental image in your head. Click the link above to download it.

Julien Donkey Boy (1999)

Watched this today for the second time. It's directed by Harmony Korine (Co-writer of Kids). First time round i was a bit spun out about it all, as it is a fucking weird film. It's quite boring but its actually a fucking amazing portrait of schizophrenia. The family on a whole are just well fucked up, well worth seeing just to make you appreciate not being a schizophrenic. Not better than a beautiful mind though.
