festive treats

Four films to help you relate to the wu tang clan/further you in life lessons;

The thirty-sixth chamber of shaolin,

Shaolin and Wu-Tang,

Eight diagram pole fighter,

The five deadly venoms.

I also came across this incredible sounding film, Russian Ark, by Aleksandr Sokurov. Alex, what an ambitious man 'yu' are. It has like 1000 actors, 3 live orchestras and 300 years of history and its all shot one fucking long take/the longest single shot in history. Pure fruity madness. It's probably rly famous and like 'masterpiece' status.

While we are on period pieces, why not verb Kubrick's relatively little known (despite winning 4 oscars) 'Barry Lyndon', which will soak up some long wintery hours with its sheer scale in all dimensions.

Citizen Kane is on telly on christmas day, if you like.

For some cheery festive music, Soil and Pimp Sessions. Self proclaimed 'Death Jazz'. It's so good I decided to buy this as my Dad's cimbz present. Just bear witness to this album cover;

Now witness the fitness;

Admittedly, they're the type of thing that you may enjoy on jools or glasto and then forget about, but i think they deserve more attention. just like Polar Bear do - (check pee bear's new track 'peepers' which is about "people with cheeky eyes" according to their drummer and king of the world Seb Rochford.

so thats it,
