good heavens, the fact robbie is the most stylish of those people is a shocking indictment

brilliant, brilliant post. seems churlish to take issue with it really, but i will on two points: 'rock' and conservatism, as i don't think this quite gets it. i mean there IS something very sun sessions about hannett, cavernous echo for the sake of the epic, mythic- but then at the same time...

I.T's favourite is Titus Andronicus, think this is a goth thing

if this becomes a martin hannett thread it could be quite interesting If we still have to have bands, then at least they could sound good. yes, this would be nice JD totally hated the production on Unknown Pleasures- the muting of the guitars esp...all the lift effects, the footsteps down...

you'll be lucky- whoever owns the print is so stingy that the bfi couldn't use it for their welles season a few years ago...hopefully it'll turn up on the internet eventually... in answer to your question...well- i like Lear a hell of a lot, despite it being an ungainly, cumbersome mess- the...

excellent thread, this... welles? (if just for kane) the beatles? (Ignoring maxwell's silver hammer, etc) apart from that am stumped. as an aside, as have a phobia of theatres, what shakespeare on film do people rate? as there is that horrible problem derived from olivier of yelling...

maybe its a misquote of the bit about how capitalism abolishes 'rural idiocy' in this...?

best game I've seen so far BY A MILE- (or at least for the last 15 mins)- a draw between Saudi Arabia and Tunisia. Wonder if this is a good thing or no

Dialectic of Enlightment also The Culture Industry (Routledge Anthology) Do some bloody work, boy!

yes! this place is incredible, i took loads of photos of it years ago when i lived on coldharbour lane. those statues of the Booths...'PROMOTED TO GLORY'...very low church...

well, there's been a recession in manufacturing for years now...and yeah, the north/south divide is way more present than we're led to think. on a train journey to glasgow a few months ago places like warrington and motherwell looking like nothing had changed since 1930...the dole queue in the...

i didn't write the blurb, so i can only assume that i'm SOME BIRD. monster bobby is monster bobby, who used to post here for a bit. i'm on around 10... zine copies aren't scanned in anywhere on the web, but pm me for copies (tho they're in rough trade and the obvious places) i was partly joking...
