ll of you readers commenters browsers visitors and peeps in general a happy xmas and i ll raise a glass of red wine to you all in the next few days i ve left you with a classic xmas picture that all the kids will defo enjoy ho ho ho santa you crazy disgusting lush have a good un posted by adam at 12 43 pm 3 comments labels blogging xmas wishes yuletide tidings wednesday december 17 eat a dick for starters comedy moment of 2008 has got to be ice muthafuckin t addressing soulja boy as part of a beef some time back it s absolutely brilliant mostly in an unintentional way the highlights are when he talks about soulja boy being garbage and talks about being caked out hilarious stuff indeed and soulja boy eat a dick yo posted by adam at 10 46 pm 2 comments labels ice t slowgress i m still slaving hard on my end of year lists and album wise it s a real eye opener it s only now you start to realise how much your taste is dictated by the usual suspects on the internet but that said the sheer quality of stuff i have heard this year is top notch i disagree that it was a bad year for music or albums or whatever people are saying out there it really wasn t there has been a huge amount of brilliant albums songs and also films i have had album after album on repeat in my headphones and this was the year that the glorious fucked up got me back into listening to punk the music genre it all began with for me listening to dead kennedys black flag lard crass nofx rancid sex pistols no use for a name et al the 14 year old me would have hated me now though with my dubious penchant for bon iver final fantasy fennesz horse feathers and the like there was a time in my teens i wouldn t even listen to the words led zeppelin being spoken aloud but such elitism is behind me now and my spikey bleach blond haircut is but a wonderful memory i ll press on anyway i m a sensitive soul deep down under the hairy drunken exterior as my mother my best friend and my girlfriend all like to remind me when the mood takes them so here is the celestial gorgeous wondrous strains of peter broderick of efterklang and horse feathers fame with the song games again from this year s home album download posted by adam at 12 02 am 3 comments monday december 15 huge ackman i ve rewatched both the dark knight and there will be blood again and while both stand up very well indeed it s the latter that grows and grows in the wow factor stakes such is the sheer power of the whole shebang and that moustache wow again twas early in the year around february i think when this blog kicked off yes i am still relatively new to it thanks and i was mildly obsessed with this film from the dialogue free opening gambit to the ominous horror of jonny greenwood s score from the fact that practically every frame of the movie could be the poster to the often hilarious melodramatic eminently quotable script from the powerhouse performance of a lifetime effort of day lewis to the snivelling genius turn of paul dano it s a work of art but more of that in a week or so this post is about hugh jackman kind of the sexy bastard here is the newest trailer for the upcoming wolverine film jackman has been chosen to host the next oscars and his stage appearances in musicals often camp demeanour and sheer likeability should make him the perfect host unfortunately he is so nice he forgets how to say no to shit scripts swordfish kate leopold van helsing christ should i go on and so an actor clearly capable of huge diversity ends up starring in this kind of bilge but then he has also done the overrated but fun x men films the excellent the prestige the ambitious the fountain and the i have not seen yet but it looks dire australia with small nosed drink of water kidman all that aside the trailer here looks like it ll be a good romp and jackman wins hunk of the week on this blog well done hugh and good luck with your future endeavours posted by adam at 11 17 pm 4 comments labels hugh jackman friday december 12 words n stuff with reviews of the day the earth stood still flooding in i m really enjoying the word klaatu it s just a brilliant word i can t stop saying it klaaaaaaaaatuuuuuuuu isn t this why blogs were invented for this kind of rubbish now my children tell me what words you like posted by adam at 11 06 am 8 comments labels words wednesday december 10 getting closer photo from a great list that s over at mp3 hugger is his top 42 songs of the year such a great blog that has a far more dedicated blogger at work than you have before you here the list is done in a really easy to use way which is handy for an idiot like me who has a habit of using the back button too many times when scouring the internet and then losing every page i ve just come from enjoy the tunes and it s great to see elbow high up on the list too posted by adam at 12 21 am no comments labels lists mp3 hugger tuesday december 9 halogen ep got a heads up from tenaka about this ep from halogen i stuck the info up on drop d for it anyway and the ep is free to download if you re an idm and glitch fan with a nice dollop of ambient thrown in then this is for you quality stuff and free to boot download it from here posted by adam at 12 27 am 4 comments labels halogen saturday december 6 epic noisemongery this track is from flannel graduate a japanese tour only cd r that sold out during no age s tour with zach hill from hella there are three tracks two of which are only seconds long the third track california bird dudes comes in at over twenty minutes long featuring zach and dean spunt s drumming chaos randy s feedback and guitar squall incomprehensible vocal bits drum loops and washed out noise this track sounds like it would fit in better with any of the bands that zach hill drums for rather than on a no age record for those who like noise get yer lugs around this badboy posted by adam at 12 19 pm 3 comments labels no age the link that never was c mon it was never gonna be that easy i m just curious how many people will actually be directed here sorry edit i feel a bit bad about this now because everyone is clearly scouring the internet myself included to get the animal collective album just make sure you don t download that jethro tull double discer by mistake the no age track above is my apology to those that came here in good faith to try and illegally download animal collective s hard work edit2 i ve changed the title because the hitcount was ridiculous and most likely annoyed the shit out of hundreds of people at least it shows that alot of people are looking for the new album posted by adam at 11 59 am labels animal collective cruel cruel hoax mediafire rapidshare late night telly i ve just gotten home from the work xmas drinks thingy and in america is on tv sweet jesus promise me you ll never watch this dire shite i love paddy considine and samantha morton but even they cannot save this self indulgent twaddle with a pair of d4 brats playing supposed working class kids in america they play a couple trying to escape the trauma of their young boy dying i think by starting a new life across the water and it features some of the most overwrought melodramatic balls ever committed to celluloid words cannot really explain how much i dislike in america and the cinematic world is a far worse place with it existing i would rather watch transformers for a second time and i hated transformers posted by adam at 3 28 am no comments labels film thursday december 4 list less no joy with these end of year lists yet but i m thinking the key is to wait until about december 30th to post top 10 albums and top 10 movies and only include stuff i ve heard seen between now and then thus reducing the odds of my list and every other list looking quite similar ah no i wouldn t do that to you but i can download loads of small films that never made it over here for the next week or so and try to make some recommendations for dvd purchases in 2009 for xmas you should really be looking for the zodiac special edition dvd brimming with brilliant extras and there will be blood special edition too it seems that blu ray is the future and those blu ray discs need to be coupled with hd televisions so time to start that life of crime quint over at aintitcool has compiled a mind boggling selection of christmas present movie stuff which you probably won t buy at this stage but i bookmarked so much shit off it my laptop melted with sheer excitement some of the toys are absolutely geekily amazing browsing this list in work

review for drop d but here for the moment drop d s editorship has been passed onto another so while it is in this state of flux i ll stick up my review of last thursday s beach house gig here with baltimore now probably more famous for the drug addled urban cesspool where marlo and his crew sling their product and mcnulty boozes his way to early retirement in best show ever the wire the duo of alex scally and victoria legrand aka dreampoppers beach house are busy forging their own way in a hazy world of narcotic rock and ethereal hymnals standing awash in the unusually harsh lights of whelans they seem surprised at the reverence of the shuffling crowd and proceed to grab the room with an enchanting performance that combines legrand s surprisingly strong and deeply sexy live vocals with scally s fuzzy slide and a little percussion to top it off legrand proves to be a more than capable frontwoman joking that this is the best night of our worst tour and dublin was the best night of our first tour while the harmonies on songs like heart of chambers are bracingly gorgeous with opening number gila and the wonderful wedding bells mixing with debut album tracks such as apple orchard and tokyo witch on record their monicker becomes a bit of a misnomer and tonight s stage performance is no different as the lethargic pacing of the songs evoke a feeling of a kind of forlorn isolation about as far from the mental picture of a beach house as one could probably get yet compared to their recorded output the stage gives beach house a little more it gives them a kind of melodrama and edge that makes it seem as if david lynch could easily have invented them to lull him to sleep as he conceives notions of twisted americana and how to drive a big shitting train through your ideas of linear cinematic narrative seeing them on stage seems like the final piece in the puzzle it shows the concentration legrand puts into the vocals the careful timing of the various instruments and effects they employ and gives you a chance to see firsthand the haze hues and silken hair you probably just about imagine when listening to devotion on your headphones in bed when she invites the crowd back to the band s hotel after the gig i imagine there is not one person who wouldn t have wanted to do just that and get to kick back with a glass of red wine basking in a few impromptu acoustic interpretations of the group s carefully crafted moving musical vignettes while gathered around their feet in some budget hotel on camden street bliss posted by adam at 1 08 am no comments labels beach house monday december 1 why watching gandhi fucking penelope cruz is wrong and other ruminations on the film elegy i ve just watched the ben kingsley film elegy an austere adaptation of one of philip roth s recent novels a dying animal but first things first the new trains between galway and dublin are becoming more common than the old trains and so it is now actually possible to plug in the trusty old laptop since the battery lasts roughly 4 minutes on its own and watch a legally obtained movie on it i m sure mininova s axxo wouldn t be involved in the nefarious underworld of illegal torrent uploading would he she i haven t really watched a film on the train before due to the shitness of said battery and so it is an unusually conflicting circumstance in which i find myself it s all very well cracking open the computay but despite my firm atheism irish catholicism still has a pleasureless grip on my conscience at times and the film has got boobs in it boobs on a public train jaysus i can feel that tea supping twix gobbling biddy behind me drowning her friend with the spittle soaked news that some devilman is titillating himself a few seats away with them cruz missiles while there are children within a 100 mile radius surely i ll burn in hell anyway i watched the film so balls to her on with the opinions roth has long been an observer and diarist in his novels of the mind workings of the modern male and in this nicholas meyer adaptation meyer incidentally also adapted roth s the human stain which proved to be a pretty underwhelming film overall we meet david kepesh ben kingsley an erudite shaven headed sexual predator of an old but sexy coloumbia university professor who beds his fave fawning female students every year but only after their final grades have been given when he claps eyes on the phenomenally hot consuela castillo penelope cruz their ensuing relationship takes him to places of jealousy and idiocy his little shiny head has never been and to a melodramatic climax that cannot ruin what is essentially a piece of upper middle class romantic drama tosh aimed at those who know their goya from their manet and like their
