Introducing myself

Hi chaps, I've been lurking here for some time now and
finally decided to register.
Dunno if I'll be a major reg with thousands of points but
hopefully I'll have something to say now and again.

I write music and am researching some small labels at the
mo, but don't worry, I ain't here to pester you with "listen
to my latest track" posts etc etc.
Mind you, I may just ask for your sage opinions on certain
labels.. that's probably likely or possibly not :)

I mostly work with voices looped or embedded into collage
form or as narrative for my observations on the world.. I
let real people speak for themselves sort of thingy.
I use TV, radio, CB, police transmissions.. all sorts and
explore themes such as road-rage, teenage sex, commercialism
whatever. Humour plays a large part too.

Yes, I'm into that RDJ bloke's music, some BoC and Autechre,
FSoL, King Tubby, Miles Davis, Specials, Gong, KLF.. and
lots of stuff you don't wanna know about ;P
(We all had to grow up listening to SOMEthing!)

What else? Getting a bit bored of video games these days..

Fave film directors: Akira Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Leone.. oh
and I love zombie films.. the best imho are Night of the
Living Dead (of course), Dawn of the Dead and Zombie
Flesh-Eaters.

Also into Haiku, TS Eliot, Baudelaire, No Drama and STOKE
CITY FC!!

Fave RDJ SAW 85-92, Come to Daddy and Surfing on Sine Waves
(at least today).

Love seafood, decent weed, current affairs and staying out
of bed and staying in bed.

Ya still here? You're crazy, go read something more
interesting!

Be nice..

Peace

Only have Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi, plus
a tune on one of my Mixing It compilations.

Mixing It is a cool show on BBC radio 3 and they play all
sorts, electronica to folk and everything in between
(although I ain't heard it in a while).

Geogaddi has some sublime moments but I was a little
disappointed with Music Has the Right.. it kinda washes over
me and leaves me not remembering much of what I just heard
:/

Yo Yi !

Its a good board , no stupid people : )

If you want to whore your music out put it in your info or
something.

I listen to every track that people post cause its cool to
hear what other people in other countires are doing.

Dawn of the dead gives me a boner, Killing zombies and
having a mall for your self would really kick ass.

Anyway dood

Thanks for the welcomes everyone that's really cool.

Just about the Peter Jackson zombie stuff.. I have to say I
prefer the early classics. I mean Bad Taste is a funny film
and all that but Evil Dead, albeit another good film, pretty
much inspired everything after to be pretty much
comedy-based.
I always found lots of humour in zombie flicks anyway, but I
think their main appeal for me is the downbeat,
claustraphobic atmosphere.
I find post-Evil Dead stuff just too silly which rather
takes from the atmosphere of the earlier stuff.

I would recommend tracking down the UNCUT version of Zombie
Flesh-Eaters, particularly if you are au fait with Romero's
classic Night of the Living Dead.

The italian director (I forget his name right now) made it
in response to Romero's original, so where there was
darkness he places the zombies in the bright sunshine. It
works really well and is FULL of classic moments, from the
opening where a boat drifts into New York harbour, to the
shower scene where a nice zombie drags a woman by her hair
so a splinter from a door goes right into her eye in truly
shocking detail, to the scene where they unwittingly rest on
an old conquistadors' burial ground.

It's not just about shocks though, the cinematography is
wonderful, beautiful even, and it features a zombie fighting
underwater with a shark!
(Yep, it sounds awful but it works well and anyway, zombies
don't need to breathe do they? DO they?)

You're referring to Lucio Fulci I believe. I'm a big fan of
the horror movie from 1978-1981.

that sounds GREAT :D i love these kind of silly films. The
worse the title of the movie, the better

Not too long ago i rented a movie called 'I bought a Vampire
Motorcycle'. it is as good as it sounds :D i was trying to
find the most ridicilous title in the whole horror section
of the video store. and it turned out too be pure "so bad
it's good" genius of a film. TRY TO FIND IT. there are some
"GREAT" actors in this movie, like Anothony Daniels (i think
that's his name) who played C3PO in starwars hehe :D

beware though...."Incredible Strange Creatures Who Stopped
Living And Became Mixed Up Zombies" IS NOT A GOOD MOVIE
although the title indicades it might be fun, it isn't
believe me. Most of the movie scenes are bad song-and-dance
scenes, and the zombies look terrible

I've heard of that movie, been wanting to see what it was
like for a while: it's a pretty ridiculous title for sure. I
love some of the Troma titles - like 'surf nazis must die'
or 'chopper chicks in zombie town'. plus, they're usually
class films in that peculiar kind of way.

If you're into the sillier stuff check out Zombies Lake
released during the 80's home video B movie boom.
It's about a bunch of nazis who decide to rise out of their
watery grave to chase buxom wenches heh.

Basket Case was a classic too (not a zombie flick tho) about
a guy who keeps his dismorphic brother (basically just a
head) in a basket and sets him on people he doesn't like.

Btw: wasn't Romero's Day of the Dead awful? At least in the
context of his earlier films..

Yeah marlowe, Lucio Fulci, thanks for that!

"Day of the dead" was not awful at all..
I liked it more than Dawn of the dead...
I like that the trilogy isn't just about the gore but also
about our society and stuff.

I like horrorfilms, but there are more bad ones than good
ones...

like = it was not better.
Dawn of the dead was awesome, but I personally thought it
was too long (I watched Romero's DC)...

Hmm, well I just don't think Day of the Dead was genre
defining or seminal in the way NotLD or DotD were.
Also, it was a little too sentimental with that 'friendly'
zombie.
Still, good film, just not quite in the same class as the
previous two.
Ain't seen it for years though. I wish it was on TV so I
could re-evaluate now.

Yeah, I think Day of the Dead was an important addition to
the trilogy - it certainly had a different atmosphere to the
other two, but on multiple viewing I appreciated Day more
and more. Still, Dawn is my favourite; I just wish the
fucker would make 'Twilight of the Dead' - especially with
the special effects at a film-maker's disposal these days.

I used to have Basket Case on video - it's one of those
ultra-low budget classics which are actually NOT terrible to
the extent of being 'good'. It could be used as a Double
Feature with The Driller Killer I think - same grimy
atmosphere, same 'gritty realism' if you know what I mean.
