Wino Interview

This is a great interview with Wino, he talks about his early influences, the bands he was in, and the projects he's doing now. Somehow the interview goes towards politics & conspiracies talk, some of the stuff he says i find to be cynical, but it's entertaining to listen to because he talks about them with great zeal. Plus I always find it entertaining when people talk about unconventional beliefs, whether I believe in them or not, just needs that great zeal there to keep my attention. In all, this is an awesome interview.

Unsane - Occupation Hazard

I don't know exactly what I should call this band as, I guess I can call them a slugey post -hardcore band. The sound is heavy, loud, and dirty with screeching feed - back. The album is overall impressive.

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Funkadelic, the American funk band incorporating musical elements of Funk, Psychedelia, rock, soul, and gospel - while making variations to every track with loud & fuzzy instruments. The guitar work on this album is somewhat alike to jimi hendrix but with bizarre funk & soul elements added. The music is ultimately groovey & spacey, as if hawkind were playing funk.

Motorpsycho - Lobotomizer

Lobotomizer is the debut album of the Norwegian band called, Motorpsycho, released in 1991.


The album has a very raw feel to it with a fuzzy tone from the guitars, bringing a hazy atmosphere.
Drawing influences from Mudhoney, Dinosaur Jr, and Deep purple. They are often coined as a grunge, but it seems natural to me just to call them a Heavy Rock band.

El Topo -(1971)

El Topo, a classic Mexican film hailed by John lennon & Yoko Ono enough that it was shown at midnight in many cinemas for years, and helped bring attention for such films as, Rocky Horror Picture Show and David Lynch's Eraserhead.
It's often regarded as one of the original cult films that spawned the Midnight Movie craze of the seventies. The theme is very unconventional for a western movie.

I was really astounded by how many levels the movie captures, From drama, humor, violence,
and just really asbsurd moments I don't know what to call them. I find it hard to describe this film becuase it's journey through a surreal desert, and often bloody one. It appears to flow like a visual in very experimental way. I'll stop there, the movie is really hard to describe . The whole movie is just a new visual experience, giving you a brain -boggle. It's just really an innovative piece of art that needs to be experienced. Alejandro Jodorowsky was very creative, and always be remembered for making the strangest movies of all time.

Psychomania review 1974 - My first movie review on this blog

Pyschomania, when this movie first came out people didn't know what to make out of it, if it were A horror? Biker Movie? Black Comedy? After watching it a few times I can honestly say it's a combination of all it. Which are fantastic elements to put all in one movie. The script is wickedly funny, played out by a young crew of British actors who do a solid job.

The plot involves a biker gang called, The Living Dead. who embark havoc around the city. Once their leader gets ahold of his mother's occutism secerts to become Immortal by commiting sucide, then believing you can come back in order to obtain this immortality. If you don't, you're forever dead. And by doing this he gets help from the Devil and some occult rituals involving toads, in a surrealistic room. A very strange scene in the movie but it's an awesome one.Subsequently he persuades the rest of his biker gang to do the same thing as well, but a few don't believe, and don't come back. Making a gang of un-dead bikers. The movie really conjures a nice picture of teenage suicide, occult worship, meaningless violence and a lack of respect for authority I gotta say.

I dug the movie immensely. It's really an inventive piece of flim. There was nothing like this flim when it came out, or even now for that matter. If you're into cult movies. I highly recommend you getting this flim.

My New Years Experience

The bands that played before The Dwarves were the typical generic hardcore bands with pompous lead singers who try to act tough & fearing but came off as a bad joke. They were horrible. I remember as I watched one of them, the singer said, hey pussies, come out to the front and mosh, you paid, $45 for this. And I remember thinking, no I did not , I paid that money for the dwarves, not your souless crap. You dumb looking caricature of the guy from Sucidal Tendencies. After a few beers, the music was still intolerable. I couldn't cope with such bad mediocrity, especially from bands calling their songs, METAL FUCK. AHHH , the lame! I thought. The Dwarves finally came on, they graced the venue for once. They were wild,loud and Ugly. When they started playing I was up front against the stage getting pushed badly by a horde of people behind me, like a bunch of bulls edging my stomach intensely to the stage. Mercilessly, I got thrown out from the pit by the mad people in the front, and stumbled towards the back, staying there for most of the show, sometimes getting pushed back to the Pit, then coming out again quickly. The show was a true thrill to start off the year. Unlike anything edmonton had to offer for New Years. But I'm haunted by the horror of the Naked guy going crazy on stage with his mexican wrestling mask. That scene has totally changed my brain chemistry now, but somehow I feel it was totally worth enduring.......
