Exposé - Point of no Return (1987)

Exposé - Point of no Return

Shuffling around the hinterland of the internet and youtube last night watching a video for Michael Jefferies Razzle Dazzle from the Wild Cats soundtrack I stumbled upon this.

It sounds like Gloria Estefan slept with either Stock, Aitken or Watermen or indeed a 4 way gangbang ensued but it rocks.

*Update* For those with nuff time to spare, DJ Venom has the LOOONNNGGGGG version

I was going to write a long post to go along with this but inspiration has completely and totally left me.

MC Lyte - Cold Rock A Party (1995)

My parents went away on holiday for two weeks to Spain or Corfu or sailing or someother shit so I got to spend two weeks in a double bed living a bachelor life. No I didn't have a party. No I didn't get Rebecca De Mornay to fuck me on the tube. No I didn't slide around the house in my shirt, pants and socks listening to Old Time Rock n' Roll.

I was fat and unpopular. Nowt much changes.

During that two weeks I set the alarm to get me up for 6.30am so I could listen to the choons shaking the nation before school. For some reason I only remember two songs from that period. MC Lyte's Cold Rock A Party and fucking Wonderwall! It's possible I heard Dreamer by Livin Joy but that's probably bollocks.

Gymkata (1985) *Update*

I feel a little bit Perez Hilton as I write. I am sat in a boozer in my beloved North London and am feeling mighty wistful about a lot of things. People around are doing normal things and I am writing a fucking blog post!

Last night we watched Gymkata. It was a bad film. A bad, bad film. Parts of it were shot out of focus. Crime! The sound mixing, at points the dialogue was drowned out by the music. Crime! It made no fucking sense whatsoever. Crime! It was awesome. Redemption!

Too Much - Wild Thang

Too Much - Wild Thang (M4a, sorry)

I was round the triplets house, Oliver, Rupert and Nicholas (Oliver & Rupert were identical, Nicholas was definitely the left overs) when out came this mix tape which, I think it belonged to their sister, Melissa - on a side note, Melissa was the first 'woman' I ever fancied. I saw her on the triplets roof in a black bikini sun bathing. Along with my mate Efosa. We both became instantly sheepish cos we knew she was a fitty and both sort of ran off into the house. Ah, Melissa.

The mixtape comes out and I think it had all the usual stuff we loved, Neneh Cherry and... Well that is all I can remember of it except for this song. THIS song. It's quite obviously about doing the do in rather graphic detail. We were about 8 when we listened to it. I think we all knew intrinsically it was about sex and that we probably shouldn't be listening to it, but fuck it. We'd done the cheat on Mike Tyson's Punchout on the NES and completed it, so why not sit down and listen to moans and groans of a lady getting ploughed and loving it.

Apparently women like sex as well. Mental innit.

Fockewulf 190 - Gitano (Instrumental)

Fockewulf 190 - Gitano (Instrumental)

I like this song. Really like it. It's good. It's one of those songs though that, even if I spunked the ton fifty some are asking for on Discogs and it was mint, fucking mint condition and the sleeve in achingly good nik and included a rare remix in which Quincy Jones was twiddling the knobs and was a picture disc of Princess Margret going full BDL with Bob Marley and Bill Cosby, people would still turn around when you it played like you'd stuck on the Chicken Song at Linda McCartneys funeral.

Maybe.

Johnny Gill - Rub You The Right Way

Johnny Gill - Rub You The Right Way

Christ we were stupid. We really thought we knew everything about everything.

Hip young slingers. Fresh socks and even fresher cocks. Rolling on the Canterbury high street like VD could never touch us.

Group of 4 of us and we all had our bitches Joe & ?, Dan & Suzy, Chris & Jenny, Michael & Caroline.

We have it made. Women. Drinks every night. Bright young things.

Valentines Day. 2000. What sharp minds we all were. Such insight into how the female minds works. Indepdently what did we all get our girls as Valentines present?

Massage oil.

Fucking bunch of cunts.

NSFW - Pron. Pron. Pron.

I used to work in a bar. In Finchley Road. The 02 Center. A place called Bar Circa.

I worked there for about 1 year after coming back to reality after fucking my life up by going to Australia and spending all my money. Stupid.

Every Friday 2 girls and some spud faced, tracksuit bedecked idiot would sit in a booth drinking. Drinking a fuck of a lot. From about 7pm to 10pm they would down innumerable JD & cokes, the odd shooter and then off they would toddle. The only striking thing about them was that they were twins. They weren't attractive. They weren't funny or cute. Dull.

Came as no surprise then, to find out they were 'exotic dancers' at Secrets lap dancing club, up Finchley Road. And as my mate at work, Sean, pointed out they also did a spot of porn.

And here I present some of their work. Not because this is a sexy clip, oh god far from it. But because I served them a shooter in a pub. Years ago.

Wank on.

Keith David

You see this face? Respect it. This is Keith David.

K-E-I-T-H. D-A-V-I-D.
Who dat?
What you mean who dat?
Keith fucking David.

Truly one of my favorite actors.

When you look at his filmography, yeah it's a bit varied. He's a proper working actor though. Piss on your louche, "resting", English thesp. Keith is always working. Hence why he turns up in a lot heavy genre crackers:

The Thing
Road House
Platoon ("shhhhiiiiitttt")
Men At Work
Quick and the Dead
Clockers
Dead Presidents (great performance)
Pitchblack
Barbershop
&
Agent Cody Banks & Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London

Keith David - No Hollywood star is likely to be heading his way anytime soon but fuck me, he's working, he's in some great film and he's got quid slot front teeth. Hats off.

The Mooncup

http://www.mooncup.co.uk/

In the boozer some one asked if I knew what this was. Being as I have only a sporting interest in a lady's vagine I said no. Then it was explained what it was.

FUCKING HELL!

http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/article4833447.ece

I take massive exception to the postulation that

"(Periods & Mooncups have)...the unique effect of making all males slack-jawed with horror at the technical details"

Because it doesn't horrify me. Women bleed once a month (blow job week as a girl I once knew termed it. Not biblically mind). That's that. It's more the encouragement to put alien objects in the vagine that leaves me 'slackjawed'.

Right. Fuck this train of thought.

I have to see this film!

Sabrina - Boys! Boys! Boys! (198?)

The song has been heard a million times and I love it. The important thing is that this video might be responsible for the man today enjoying a healthy appreciation of lady 'things'.

I really remember the day upon seeing Sabrina on Top of the Pops and feeling quite close to the boil.

VIET-FUCKING-NAM!

Another one I remember from BBC 2 on a Sunday at about 11pm.

No wonder I'm such a fucking retarded spazz-bot. I wasted all me yute watching faux-docu-mentays and then blogging them on the interspastic.

Film shit will return at somepoint. Inspirtation has left me at the moment though. In the meantime, a song. Yeah it's a bit 'mash-up' but at it least it's mashed-up with the Kingsmen's - Louie Louie.
ODB as you can see 4 EVAH!

Boy's Don't Cry - I Wanna Be A Cowboy (1985)

Boys Don't Cry - I Wanna Be A Cowboy

If anyone asks right, I got this song on a dirty night down some hardcore irons disco in Vauxhall.

The truth is, god, the truth is it's in the Last Boy Scout. It accompanies an early Halle Berry performance. She's Damon Wyans girlfriend in the strip club towards the start of the picture.

3 things.

1) Apparently David Geffen hated the film so much he donated the profits to an AIDs charity
2) Paul Oakenfold produced this track. What is that cunt not involved in?
3) This track is great.

The Tammys - Egyptian Shumba

Look on the internet for the story of this 'lost girl group'. First though, have a listen. It's amazing.

Amazing.

I can't say that I discovered it whilst leafing through racks of vinyl at a car boot sale in Longstanton. I can't say that I was at friends house, drunk, at 3am listening to records and stumbled across it while leafing through their racks of vinyl, bought from a carboot sale in Longstanton.

Pitchfork. Fuck.

I will say though, that no matter how I discovered it my life has been enriched by knowing of its' existence. I love this song.

Shrieking, shouting, mono madness.

Freeez - I.O.U

"This is just your type of song" a good friend said to me. And it is. It really is. Annoying. I hate being labelled, in my head I think of myself as a Bruce Wayne/Batman figure. Mysterious, alone, aloof, untouchable. It's all bullshit of course. I am way too 'heart on sleeve' in reality. So fuck it. Thank you for recommending this. I love it.

Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack (1996)

Summer. London. A young scroat from north London trips his way through the summery town at 6am towards Broadcast House. Hope and glee in his young eyes.

I was a tea boy on Chris Evan's Radio 1 breakfast show for two weeks. It was a work experience thing I had to do for school. And though I didn't have to be there for the show itself, I was at that point intent on being a radio disc jockey so I went in everyday for the whole show and then worked in the office all day. WOW! The enenrgy of youth.

It was amazing. Like in films when the callow youth goes to Paramount Studios and sees all the star wandering around.

I saw Wendy Lloyd in the lift, I saw Simon Mayo, Mark Kermode came up to the office and started talking about a film. When he had finished and left the room, everyone said 'who was that?' Laughter. Mark Goodier once confused me whilst I collected a coffee cup from the studio.

I didn't see the following:

Dave Pearce
Peter Tong
John Peel
Marc and/or Lard
Fabio and/or Grooverider

Shit.

Jim Diamond - Hi Ho Silver (1986)

Boon. I fucking love this song.
Michael Elphick. I swear he was a modern Harry H. Corbett. Brilliant but doomed

Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London (1978)

Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London

1986 - Color (arggghhhh) Of Money directed by Scorcese. I know Newman died the other day and it's very sad. BBC 1 screened this on Monday night and as I was looking through the papers that day I saw that one reviewer (in The Times I think) said "Martin Scorsese directs with flashy but soulless efficiency". WHAT!

The Color of Money is one of the famous Scorcese faustian-pact studio films, the other being Cape Fear. Guess what? Both are pretty fucking excellent in their own right.

The Hustler is an awesome film, Newman always gets the plaudits for his turn as Fast Eddie Felson but George C. Scott and Jackie Gleason also weigh in (cos' they fatties innit) with some very strong supporting roles.

Newman reprises the role of Felson and again is surrounded by a wonderful supporting cast. The Crusier turns in the 'high energy' performance that marked all his early roles before Top Bum made him a huge star. John Turturro does his unxious bit and a future fatty, Forest Whititaker turns up as the young but black version of Felson.

Flashy but soulless? It's lightweight certainly, and could be seen as a throwaway studio film but the energetic direction and performances lift this up from the mire.

Smoky, seedy and whiskey soaked.

Steve Martin - A Wild and Crazy Guy (1978)

Steve Martin - A Wild and Crazy Guy

Popular opinion has it that Steve Martin is not funny any more. And this is true. He isn't. This forgets though that he was funny. Funny funny. Fucking funny.
