o homem da American Ghetto



"'The Dead Dog' was the second song that Anthony Saffery, Adam Taylor and I began working on for the American Ghetto project. We started tracking this on my second day back in Boston... it may have been the first, I am not quite sure. This track began with a break beat and a loose set of chords that I had put together in the morning before tracking. Lyrically, this was the first album where I really went out and referenced the streets and places around where I grew up. "The Dead Dog" was a bar out towards Big Lake off Pittman Road where, no offense Pittman ralliers, some pretty shady folks spent their time. I don't know what it was about that area that drew me in but it did, for whatever reason. As with all the songs on American Ghetto there is a focus on our teenage lives and the things we did and the paths we chose. Some of the moments are sadder than others but The Dead Dog was written more about the setting than with a specific person in mind.
The whole process of the American Ghetto recordings was basically a two week explosion of ideas followed by about 4 months of clean-up and focusing. This gave the songs space and time to breathe a bit before finding their true home in the album and in the finished piece."

home is where the hatred is


I'm New Here has to be the best 2010 album i've heard so far. although brief in length, this spoken word piece is a masterful work of art bringing you the blunt reality that Gil Scott-Heron always has

Sentimental Engine Slayer


I would love for people to watch the works of the great masters from each country and see how all themes are intertwined, that the core of human emotions and desires are all connected. That, in the end, despite culture and geography, we are all the same. It would also help wean some off of the sugar-coated high that is modern cinema, and find joy in seeing internal conflict unravel, where there is no tangible antagonist. Or CGI explosions, car chases or sex scenes holding your hand every step of the way, explaining every fucking plot point, movement or inner emotion through dialogue narration. Or roller-coaster event film tantrums saying, “This is what you should think and feel when you leave the theater.”

Mali: Guimba the Tyrant by Cheick Oumar Sissoko
Japan: Gate of Flesh, by Seijun Suzuki
Poland: A Short Film About Killing, by Krzysztof Kieslowski
Russia: Andrei Rublev, by Andrei Tarkovsky
India: The Adversary, by Satyajit Ray
Germany: Fear of Fear, by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Italy: Accatone, by Pier Paolo Pasolini
Spain: High Heels, by Pedro Almodovar
France: Pickpocket, by Robert Bresson
Netherlands: Turkish Delight, by Paul Verhoeven
Sweden: Through a Glass Darkly, by Ingmar Bergman
USA: Husbands, by John Cassavetes
Mexico: Los Olvidados, by Luis Buñuel. A Mexican classic, although the director is actually from Spain.

Lagos Shakin'



Inertiatic MASTODON

from Crack The Skye (2009)

There is a paraplegic and the only way that he can go anywhere is if he astral travels. He goes out of his body, into outer space and a bit like Icarus, he goes too close to the sun, burning off the golden umbilical cord that is attached to his solar plexus. So he is in outer space and he is lost, he gets sucked into a wormhole, he ends up in the spirit realm and he talks to spirits telling them that he is not really dead. So they send him to the Russian cult, they use him in a divination and they find out his problem. They decide they are going to help him. They put his soul inside Rasputin's body. Rasputin goes to usurp the czar and he is murdered. The two souls fly out of Rasputin's body through the crack in the skye and Rasputin is the wise man that is trying to lead the child home to his body because his parents have discovered him by now and think that he is dead. Rasputin needs to get him back into his body before it's too late. But they end up running into the Devil along the way and the Devil tries to steal their souls and bring them down…there are some obstacles along the way

With stallholders ranging from some of Melbourne’s most dedicated collectors to favourite record stores around town, you’ll be pulling bargains and rarities out of crates left, right and centre. And since Yah Yah’s is a watering hole, you’ll not have to worry about going thirsty. What better way to rummage through crates of wax than to have a beer by your side at all times!!!!
