You mess with the bull (me), you get the horns (passive acceptance).

Fabio Frizzi: "Sir, what music for this scene where a guy has his face slowly torn apart by spiders?" Lucio Fulci: "We will set the mood with some 80s Italian progressive jazz-funk" youtu.be/TSAuah87hvw?...

This cover art goes so hard. Should be the NZ flag

It's so funny when people get defensive about their use of generative AI. I guess have fun with your toy, but by distributing it you're just polluting the aesthetic environment. It's like turning up at a party, dumping a bucket of poop on the floor, and then being like oh no everyone got mad at me

I’m getting really into this anime that is romance of the three kingdoms but instead of kings and generals fighting it’s girls humping pillows and instead of watching it on a screen it’s flashing in my mind as I look at the smoke in the sky and bleed out near the Somme river in August 1916

I want to do this level of acoustically cooked for the next disasteradio record but I have to go to work instead www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hnH...

Was a real pleasure to write about ten of my favourite songs by The Clean for the Guardian to celebrate the publication of Richard Langston's excellent oral history of the band 'The Clean: in the dreamlife you need a rubber soul'.

This Youtube channel of a young woman practicing her skateboard moves is fantastic. Static, beautifully composed shots of industrial carpark topography, subtle humour and drama, no talking or music youtu.be/TcdvTFXY5UU?...

Awesome footage of the Dictators at CBGBs in 1977. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE12...

Not to be confused

I keep saying this. The Right fundamentally are *not* hypocrites. They believe in double standards. For them, double standards are correct, inevitable, and desirable, because the idea that certain groups are better than others and should therefore have more rights is the basis of right-wing ideology

THE OILY MANIAC (Ho, 1976)

10 years of watching Italian genre cinema and I never saw this. It's SO GOOD, all style no sense, drugs, satanism, a pitchfork murder

been thinking a lot recently about how the zone has always been honest and benevolent to me, so i bet these ideas are going to be huge. a shame their reach has been so limited by our misguided spill containment efforts. soon everyone will understand. it would've been a crime to not break containment

The lineup for Lines of Flight 2025 festival has been rounded out with some sterling new additions, including legendary sound artist & songwriting savant Alastair Galbraith. Three days of experimental music and sound in Ōtepoti Dunedin! Get fest passes & day tickets via UTR.

guillotine

This is some fine trash: bizarre, beyond-parody acting/dialog, incoherent plot, but every shot looks INCREDIBLE. Soundtrack is very 1996 - sleepy breakbeats and chanting, à la Enigma/Deep Forest. Russell Mulcahy also did Highlander and Razorback, so you know it's gonna be fun

My seventh album 'Sediment Archive' out today on evo-natura! A bit different maybe than my other albums, as it is an archival one. Read more about it on Bandcamp! ffforces.bandcamp.com/album/sedime...
