MOVIE, BOOK AND THRASHCORE!!!!

Sunday is the day! And today, got nothing to do but enjoy the comforts of home. Heres something ive been enjoying this week.



24 Hour Party People (movie)

I was at a jeep when I was talking to Sam of Vampire State about old brit pop music with the likes of course of The Smiths and Joy Division etc , when he told me about this movie and told that he could give to me his copy. Thanks bro!!

This is a good take about the amazing party scene in Manchester England- circa 1979-1992. its about Tony Wilson and the bands behind the scene. Narrated by Tony Wilson its self which is played great by Steve Coogan, the narration is cool coz its an unconventional style of talking straight to the audience which makes it easier better and far more cooler. Coz I think its kinda hard to explain whats happening from one moment to another considering the time being,It has an in your face style that I love.
It helps if you know something about some of the bands shown in the film (Joy Division, New Order, The Happy Mondays) or if you at least have an interest in learning about them. Of course its fun to watch also has its comedic approach on party scenes fuelled by sex, drugs and not so manly new wave music. hehe
Even though it’s a film of a rise and fall of an empire which I don’t really give a flying f*ck about, it pays a good eulogy and tribute to the amazing Ian Curtis (lead singer of Joy Division who hung himself in 1985)
Don’t worry this is not your typical tragic, drug withdrawal movie that only interests in its dark and twisted tail to moralize and entertain( f*ck off).

Fast paced, extremely witty and fun!!!

Highly recommended….


Memoirs of Klitorika (klitoris at retorika)book

I finally got a copy of this book made by a long time good friend. I heard about it and couldn’t find a copy of it in Davao, I think they run out or something. For quite sometime ive been a big fan of Klitorika’s blog. one of the most provocative, crazy and intelligent writers of our time. These book talks about sexuality, femininity and morality, fun and hot way of learning about women, what they go to what they feel and what they want!

Mind blowing, coming from a woman who is trapped in the doors of modern religious 3rd world box…

“ Sa kaso ni KLITORIKA. Ang imoral ay nagiging moral, at ang moral ay nagiging immoral. Pag balibaligtarin man ang mga kataga, ang isyung mababasa ninyo sa koleksyyong ito ay mga tunay na karanasan at pag tingin ng awtor hindi lng sa sex kundi sa isyung kababaihan. Kabilang na riyan ang pagiging girlfriend, asawa, kabit, ina at isang parausan at nagpaparaos sa kama
Sa koleksyong ito ng kanyang mga artikulo, humanda na kayo. Gagawing nya ang lahat para kayo ay paligayahin- literal man oh metaporikal”

Everything is written in tagalog.
Nice job Janet!!! Galing…

Kaktus Karuka Demo cd

I got this from Odessa (tenchu) and sure is happy to get one. Consisted of people from the great but now defunct ChokeCocoi.
This one is treasure in a making. Fast thrash non-stop all over the record from 1st to last. The quality is a bit “raw” but not a problem. Nice and simple diy packaging. Over all a great record!!! Looking forward for more!!

“And they cant go back
We can come back
The ruins they left
We build with ours
And we’ll just be here
Looking down
Off their stupid crown”

-looking down-

Nice!!!!
