Text of the page (random words):
onsidering i was a tourist on a touristy tour i was genuinely moved by the fact that in the corner of this cave house an ancient woman was hand grinding corn with a stone mill collecting a few dinar from the browsing tourists the old husband just sat quietly across from her slowly baking in the 38 degree heat in his hole in the ground house and yet they seemed content nodding and smiling at the curious horde in front of them i ll never complain about my phone reception again it helped that our guide a wizened prune of a man called eddie with a hilariously crap line in jokes and a genuine affection for this part of tunisia where he was originally from was a real pro always showing us what to do where to move how to deal with the culturally unfamiliar aspects of the tour toward the end of the 1300 kilometre round trip he did seem to be verging on mentally delicate but i m sure he s ok now ok or still asleep or dead he even brought bread for the hole in the ground family s donkey we made it back to the resort hotel after two days drained and fulfilled set for one more slap up meal a little hookah pipe some boukha and bed the next day was time to fly just as the week had done i should have bought a salamander posted by adam at 9 49 pm 9 comments labels holidays travel tunisia sunday june 7 march of the people watching werner herzog s south pole documentary encounters at the end of the world is an exceptionally humbling experience herzog sets out his stall early in the film telling us that he was not interested in making a movie about fluffy penguins and instead he takes his tiny crew to mcmurdo station the american headquarters and a town of sorts in the antarctic in and around this area he encounters a group of people working in a variety of disciplines plumber driver biologist volcanologist and tries to discover how and why they have ended up here at the bottom of the world herzog willfully seizes on the eccentricities of many of these people and manages to create a film that is beautiful both in its visual representation of an unusual part of the planet and in its portrayal of the fragility of humanity and how ultimately we are all just a blip on this planet with extinction an inevitability just like the dinosaurs before us nature will take care of us sooner or later we are no more special than the single cell organisms that are scraped from the ocean floor by one 50s science fiction film enthusiast and scientist who celebrates the discovery of three new species in a single dive by jamming with a co worker on top of their shed in the middle of the snow their noisy blues echoing across the white plains personally i find this prognosis refreshing and herzog certainly doesn t want it to be taken as bad news as always he sees the beauty in human existence in their stories and thoughts and ideas and lives and he sees the eventual demise of our species as just another step in the world s history and future why do we deserve anything special because we are a little more intellectually advanced than most animals isn t it wonderful to imagine that everything we have ever created both hideous and sublime will someday be gone probably through our own doing and the world could be once more left to the most basic creatures scurrying and foraging on the ocean bed only interested in the next meal the earth would have a clean slate again and it is just a shame that herzog will not be there to make a documentary about that i can imagine his monotonous voice just audible over helicopter shot footage of a desolate silent planet

monday may 25 hoping it ain t lost in the transition as drop d moves to new pastures i usually hate reading my stuff but i actually enjoy reading this review of mudhoney s last album sorry for this somewhat self serving post but anyway with the grunge era now a nostalgic bong water stain on the ripped jeans of yesterday all we veterans can do is snaffle up nirvana albums on vinyl if we stumble across them watch pearl jam get fat and old and reminisce over youtube footage of alice in chains mesmerising mtv unplugged performance from back in the day mark arm and his elder statesmen of that fruitful musical period mudhoney have crawled out of the sticky dirt to crank out a new album 20 years after giving the world a grunge classic with touch me i m sick and thankfully they have summoned the spirits of their scuzzy raw anthemic youth to make an album that is as relevant now as it would have been in the early 90s it begins with the cocksure sexual swagger of i m now a song many of the pubeless indie cretins of today s alternative indie rock bands would lop off their fringes and pointy shoe clad feet to have penned inside out over you crackles with feedback and psychedelic twiddlings over a jefferson airplane style bassline while the title track grooves along to a chorus of the lucky ones are lucky they re not around a wry take on grunge s casualties other highlights are the blues kissed what s this thing the garage rock musings of and the shimmering light and the screaming teenage delight of tales of terror this gem was recorded in just three and a half days and the confident brevity of the uncomplicated songs would definitely corroborate this with most of the tracks around the 3 minute mark there is a lusty noisy filthy punk vibe fused into every song with a side order of garage blues and the stooges and a sense of urgency that makes it difficult to believe these gents are on their 8th album and 20th year together it filled this writer with joy to be aurally transported back to a time when sonic youth bleach lumberjack shirts and seattle were at the forefront of my mind and here s hoping that mudhoney bottle the energy they harnessed for this recording and churn out many more albums as enjoyable in the coming years this is how it is done indie pretenders take note posted by adam at 10 18 pm 4 comments saturday may 23 good morning er afternoon i ill advisedly clicked on a youtube link to watch a marianne nowottny clip earlier got the fear immediately and so had to watch this to regain some semblance of mental balance this is one

labels hangover joanna newsom music the fear thursday may 21 what s the plan now then and so another printed publication hops on the escalator to the great shredder in the sky plan b is no more while we lament the demise of print journalism and as a print journalist aswell as an online one i will join the ranks of those wailing the loudest the fact of the matter is that the magazines you have loved and still love are supported in a major way by advertising revenue from independent record labels labels that can barely afford to function anymore let alone take out a 10x3 advertisement space in a glossy shiny lovely smelling magazine add to that the fact that no one has yet entirely figured out how to make impressive advertising revenue from any online publishing ventures and it s clear we are in a state of media limbo personally i enjoy a combination of reading about movies music pop culture and bestiality online as much as in print true the online reading has addled my concentration levels at times i believe severely but it s nothing permanent and i still sit around with books and a ton of newspapers to dig in to every couple of days things are grim as fuck these days in the print world and will only get grimmer those of us left with jobs should count ourselves lucky and with regard to the always interesting often brilliant plan b let s hope they find a way to

top right retires from the civil service after 40 years of service a lot of which has been spent as a principal officer in the department of defense based in galway much to the chagrin of my friends who still refer to him as major dad due both to his perceived occupation and his resemblance to gerald mcrainey bottom right who once played major dad in the sitcom of the same title he is not a highly trained killer half man half wild dog it s an office job it was an office job and it s a little strange how his job has plotted the direction for my life in 1989 my parents left aylesbury tallaght with young moi and my sister in tow to head to galway the city that the decentralisation plan at the time had decided was to be the new department of defense s hq i have no doubt that my knackery mulleted little pre teen self might have ended up doing horrendous things had i spent my teen years surrounded by the glories of joy riding glue sniffing and coal eating fact a family up the road used to eat bits of coal they found on the street i don t know why mineral content it s a bit fucking angela s ashes isn t it there are a few photos of young me knocking around at the family home from my tallaght days and it s clear that in my final year there as a 10 year old obsessed with guns violence and becoming a member of the sas i may have soon butchered my first small domestic creature and moved gradually onto drifters and or prostitutes i base this theory entirely on my haircut and attire at the time which was part stefan edberg part hi visibility hooligan ah yes i seem to have dodged a life of crime and now i work in the newspaper that reports on that same crime in that same area a place that has drunken miscreants telling the gardai they will eat all the houses on the street and enter strangers houses through the front window to bum a cigarette true stories oh lady irony why do you mock me i leave you with wilco the song by wilco from wilco the album this is for

arse life i truly am a picky bastard i can t find somewhere comfortable i like to sit in our new place there s a chair and a couch the couch i like lying on to watch tv but alas it is not particularly good for balancing the laptop on my stomach and trying to type for any length of time i imagine that were an independent observer to poke their beak over the garden fence and observe me trying to type anything longer than a twitter update on the brand of sausage i had just ingested while carefully trying to control my stomach muscles to balance the laptop they would see what looks like an overgrown overweight idiot doing what appears to be an impression of a fighting spider thiania bhamoensis perched in the crane position and hammering away at the keys in short uncomfortable bursts and so it is to the bedroom i retire laz e boys proving too expensive and it is in the bedroom i ll have to remain if i want to shake the pins and needles from my poor poor legs comfort is an important part of bloggage dontcha know i feel it s time to start paying more attention to the blog and so expect more frequent posting more wine coverage more music and more film reviews and just more blogging in

satan wednesday may 13 yep posted by adam at 4 55 pm 3 comments labels octopus sharks saturday may 2 beam me up samuel beam and his iron and wine moniker will always have a special place in my cold black heart i ve loved him since first hearing the creek drank the cradle many moons ago on some dodgy old cd r given to me by a tramp or was it a vietnam vet but that said he has easily put on two of the most disapponting live gigs i ve ever seen one in the olympia and one in the ambassador with a penchant for tweaking his songs live the so fragile it might snap vibe of his albums and eps are totally discarded on stage and beam with his rag tag bunch of very talented musicians likes to expand and ruin every bloody song to the point of noodley boredom bonnie prince billy is the master at doing this kind of twiddleage and foostering well i ve seen him do fantastic versions of much loved usually sparser songs and they sounded great i do however hear that bob dylan effectively bends his popular songs over the piano and forces himself into them after administering some form of prescription medicine alcohol cocktail to ensure the songs black out and remember nothing for shame anyway in a few weeks arrives the iron and wine double album around the well sub pop a 2 cd 3 lp collection of rare tracks ranging from out of print to never before released i m reminded of the shimmering delicate beauty of beam s music the lyrics that have a firm foundation in his cinematography and film tutoring background beam s words are some of the most poetic i ve heard with the same kind of bucolical leanings of bill callahan but without the sometimes startling obscurity beam is more terence malick to callahan s david lynch one of my favourite iron and wine songs and one that features on this upcoming album is his cover of the flaming lips waitin for a superman so here it is waitin for a superman iron and wine posted by adam at 10 49 am 3 comments labels iron and wine saturday april
