Available through Nick Cave’s website is the chance to virtually take a trip through his exhibition, Stranger Than Kindness. It’s a fascinating wander through his passions, inspiration, musings and the creative process itself. Featuring artwork by Cave and a painting by old flame Anita Lane, to mocked-up studios, an old bedroom and library, ephemera, toContinue reading “Nick Cave Virtual Exhibition: Stranger Than Kindness”

THESE ARE OUR NEIGHBOURS by Katharine Williams premieres at the Citz in October
Just Step Sideways : Gelli Haha- Klouds Will Carry Me to Sleep
Spring always makes me listen to hyperpop or bubblegum. Gelli Haha fuses both together. It’s absurdist, neon bright music that’s psychedelic and pure disco, as if Superorganism and Tom Tom Club had got together and eaten too many E numbers (ahem!) in a fever dream. It’s fabulous, melodic and febrile. Angel Abaya’s voice is justContinue reading “Just Step Sideways : Gelli Haha- Klouds Will Carry Me to Sleep”
Vic and Bob Gotta Have Faith
Few comedy pairs are like Vic Reeves and the gorgeous Bob Mortimer. I laugh like a drain at their shenanigans. But it’s their most absurdist moments that tickle me most, and like rent free in my noggin. Their parody of lTV lookalike/soundalike competition ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ makes me laugh like a twat every time.Continue reading “Vic and Bob Gotta Have Faith”
Lost In Music: Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry
It may be a one hit wonder, but what a wonderful song. Used in many iconic films, this cat, Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry, had quite the vocal range. One of my favourites ever. Who could forget Corey Haim in The Lost Boys singing along with this. Frogman joined the great lily pad in the sky, thisContinue reading “Lost In Music: Clarence ‘Frogman’ Henry”
Lost In Music: Angine de Poitrine
Seems like everyone has an opinion on oh-so enigmatic Quebec duo Angine de Poitrine at the moment, from Justin Hawkins to outspoken Glasgow comic Limmy. They’re becoming ubiquitous at the moment, possibly with good cause. Styled like a fusion of Tristan Tzara and Strawberry Switchblade with a soupcon of Noseybonk (those phallic noses, ugghhhhh) inContinue reading “Lost In Music: Angine de Poitrine”
Just Step Sideways: Dean Friedman – “Well,Well”, Said the Rocking Chair
Billy Joel , Billy Schmoel. New Jersey legend Dean Friedman is where it’s at, kids. Too funky to be a crooner, too silly to be MOR, he occupied a strange position in the rock music galaxy in the seventies. Some of his music was confessional singer -songwriter, a la Elton John; some was like aContinue reading “Just Step Sideways: Dean Friedman – “Well,Well”, Said the Rocking Chair”
Film Review : Pavements
When is a biopic about Pavement not a biopic about Pavement? When it’s Pavements. This film, written and directed by Alex Ross Perry eschews a linear rock doc narrative, exactly as you’d expect for an American indie band who are a mass of contradictions: with a sound forever torn between sleepy and frenetic; loose andContinue reading “Film Review : Pavements”
