Its All Over With!

I have decided to knock this on the head. For the very few people that will see this I am starting a new blog. I am pretty chuffed with my first attempt at doing a blog and I look at Exwhorism as a way I found out what I am good at and where my strengths are in writing. For this purpose it will be over at Gonna Make The Pony Trot where i will continue on with writing about the usual rubbish and talking shit so follow me there if you want. There is no obligation.

Cheers

BEN

Watched Willard at the weekend. Really good film. Enjoyed it immensly. Its about a lad and his rats. But there is slightly more to it than my description. It features Hollywood eccentric Crispin Glover. He was ace in Rivers Edge and obviously the Back To The Future Trilogy. He writes books and plays as well. The original Willard from 1971 was followed by a sequal called Ben, after one of the rats in the first story. Micheal Jackson allowed use of his song of the same title to be used in it. Crispin Glover recorded his own version of it for the 2003 Willard.



Crispin Glover has also released an album back in the 90's. Its pretty hard to get hold of and features some quite forced "whackiness" but it does feature Clowny Clown Clown and some other little gems.

MR FREEDOM X

Been on a complete Miles Davis trip for the past few days broken up with bouts of Dio and Nocturnus. Been a fan of Miles for years. His career stretched from the alte 40's through to the tail end of the 80's. He played a part in almost every new stage of jazz if not influencing it himself. His backing band was made up of future greats and legends in there own right, John McLaughlin, Kenny Garrett, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, JJ Johnson, Jack De Johnette, its a pretty impressive list.
Anyway, you can read all about him on the great man's Wiki page, I thought I would upload one of my favourites from his discography. On The Corner is, after Bitches Brew, his best known effort from his electric period.



Smooooooth

He claimed he was influenced by Sly & The Family Stone and Hendrix on this one. Infact there is a story about how in awe of Hendrix Miles was. To quote his biographer " he loved the way he was sticking it to whitey and the man with his guitar playing " Its claimed they even spoke about collaborating but obviously Jimi died. There is a rumour that they recorded some live stuff, I really like to believe that but then it more than likely would have shown up online by now. Just think about what it would have sounded like!
Check out this, I know its a Cyndi Lauper tune but Miles made this something else. The recorded version is good, but the live version is superb. There is a peak in the middle, and the note he hits at 5:40 that goes right through me. Superb.



Enjoy.

Due to computer problems its all been offline recently. For nearly a month! The real world be damned, I have internet again. Getting some stuff uploaded for the next few posts so in the meantime I have the soundtrack to Chevy Chase's best film, after Caddyshack and National Lampoon's Vacation series. Fletch! Composed by Harold Faltermyer. Its not an amazing film by any stretch of the imagination. Its just a Chevy Chase film. You don't write films and then cast Chevy. You write a film for Chevy! Fletch is the best example of his one liners and flippant humour. Go Fletch.

FLETCH LIVES!

BACK IN THE HABIT..........

Fo Sho.....

Look how cool I am and the cool people I hang around with.
Real life is shit. Car problems, financial problems, health problems, I got problems coming out my ears. My nose as well if I didn't have this damn lurgy.
So some emotional, violent escapism with a message I reckon.

We3 is a awesome 3-part graphic novel I have just finished. The reliable team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely released this back in 2004 I believe. It tells the tale of 3 household pets. A dog, a cat and arabbit. Appropriated by the goverment for a research project. They are encased in high tech suits, armed to the teeth and deployed as a covert strike unit in dangerous situations. The story follows they're escape and journey home. Avoiding the military and other nasty stuff. Its been described as "Universal Soldier meets Homeward Bound" which is a pretty silly description but does fit it immensly. Its one of the nicest, most heart warming stories I have read in a long time. The range of emotions expressed by the animals in the few words they utter and the detail of the art stands out more than the sudden bursts of violent brutality. I hope you enjoy this....

WOOF WOOF BANG

Allegedly there is a script penned by Morrison being developed with a green light to begin shooting next year. Imagine that.
Cheers to Lucid Media for this one.

FROM THE VAULTS!

I have finally uploaded something that I highly doubt anyone has heard. other than those of us cool enough to get into it on its original release.
There used to be a guy called Kevin Stewart panko who wrote for Terrorizer and some other things. He is still alive, so don't worry. he had a band in his home country of Canada called Association Area. They had 2 bassists, released a 7" and EP, lost a bassist and then created this piece of "art".
Lothsome Deco is a strange beast indeed. Not aligning itself with any particular style. They have a free form approach to song structure. Mixing a huge noise rock element with snippets of grind, surf rock, white noise and whatever they fancied, leaving you with one of my most prized finds. As far as I know its still knocking around on some ditro's here and there and Lunasound Records may still possess copies. other than that, finding any information about them is pretty hard.



ASSOCIATION AREA - Lothsome Deco

Give it a listen, absord it and throw it up again.

I'M SWAYZE

Star of such films as Steel Dawn and Point Break, and that one about dancing ( which seemingly intelligent girls will make you watch) and the other one about ghosts.
here is the soundtrack to his, in my opinion, best efforts.



The Dancing Is Over, Now It Gets Dirty!
