Joe Fagin - That's Living Alright



I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS AT KARAOKE!

Joe Fagin looks like Kenny Powers. 

Better quality version.

TransX - Living On Video





It seems Canada churns out electronic male/female duos producing hi-nrg music, along with the best of them. See also Lime 

This sounds a little like 'Go Go Yellowscreen' by Digital Emotion but it makes me imagine a world where keytar players just regularly bump into one another. Trading keytar riffs that came to them in the night down the electronic social on a wet Wednesday morning over a cup of tea with ten sugars and a line of chaz.

Nocturnes

4 years after the exhibition and I am still kicking myself that I didn't go. The Tate Britain's display of nocturnes by Turner, Monet and Whistler was the blockbuster of 2005. I remember watching Newsnight Review and being captivated as Tom Paulin or Tony Parsons rhapsodized about the exhibition. Oh, sigh. I should have gone.

Paul Strand



I just returned from Expanding Horizons exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery and was struck by the photo above of Wall Street by Paul Strand.

I now need to know more about this man and can at Paul Strand photography

People chillin'... No illin'.




You're way out of line...



Terminator Salvation, worth a watch? Nah. I just got through it. 

This is supposed to be the rebooting of a franchise? It is an appropriation of the Alien franchise and the first two Terminator films, conflated into an awful Frankenstein's monster of a film.  

Android with secret mission hangs out with humans: Alien. 
Big stupid robots that look like Transformers: Transformers.
Ending which involves sets, ideas and the look of Aliens and T2: Aliens and T2.
THE USE OF YOU COULD BE MINE BY G N' R. GET BENT.
And stop bloody growling, Christian Bale. You really are better than that. 
And hiring the dicks who wrote T3 is unforgivable.

Massive waste of time.


You Could Be Mine
