Influences
Diseuse - noun. A female entertainer who performs monologues. ORIGIN - Late 19th Century: French, literally "talker", feminine of diseur from dire "to say".

Japanese horror, arctic love, inner monologue, watching middle aged people get tipsy and do Karaoke, everything that is wrong with Richard Harrison and his camouflage ninja jumpsuit, cockney dubbing in Kung Fu, smalltown bedlam, Sofia Coppola, Nintendo, letters that never got sent, taps that drip and never stop, mixtapes that purr, game over - please try again, Ricoh, The Face magazine in its heyday, Chinese rice bags with those goldfish on, houndstooth, Audrey Hepburn, Fellini, Almodovar, Izima Kaoru, D.I.Y recording on broken two deck Karaoke machines and Coomber French oral examination tape recorders in school halls at 11pm, queueing up behind a bunch of Italian teenagers wearing Kappa shellsuits to play Street Fighter II in a computer games arcade at the back of a seedy bar in Pontremoli circa 1991/2 with 500 lire in a sweaty palm, William Eggleston, Stockholm Syndrome, Stephen Shore, Truman Capote, John Peel, swirling drunken ceilings, sticker books, walking past grave yards at night, French electronic music, persuit of the hopeless, train journeys, half full on battery and that sense of panic when it cuts, falling asleep in Fabric when you're 17, polaroid, checked excercise books and 4b pencils, head pushed under the pillow pressing eyeballs until all the different colours come, Halloween, Calipos, hair dye disasters, drinking with sole intention to get drunk, Federic Garcia Lorca, playgrounds at 3am, lack of sleep, BP garages at 1am, crickets, epic Viet Nam films where all the characters are dusty and sweaty looking, laziness, caffeine overload, power ballads, soggy trainers, Haruki Murakami, James Joyce, Jeff Wall, green tea, 1950s technicolour, long silences and trying to fill them, fear of flying - recurring aircrash dreams, boarding school and school uniforms, staring at people on the tube, Silver Reed my typewriter, spaghetti westerns, the smell of new books, ice cream vans and the borderline-psychotic-sounding nursey rhymes they pelt out, fancy dress when everyone bothers, skittles, me-me-me-ness, film soundtracks, watching people all pilled up when you're not, suntans, pyjama party, disappearing in the grass, Barcelona, chandeliers, girls with long long hair, fear or technical failure, primative apple like Claris Works and games like Shuttlepuck cafe, filthy anime, watching Richard and Judy with the sound down...imagining they are lecturing me about sexual health, being stood up, spending saturday night in, oh vanity-up yours! stilted wallflower-ish conversations with pretty boys in v-neck jumpers who are bored in the Indie disco - when you have to glance sideways at each other and the lights change green-pink-purple-blue-yellow out of time with the 1-2-3-4 and then you never see each other again, The Adams Family, accordians, A Streetcar Named Desire, Shit old hammer horror movie special effects and bad lighting that's far scarier than anything produced post stop-start animation...like Evil Dead, gay disco like Sylvester in earphones - sung and danced to at a bus stop in Westborne Park waiting for the night 328 after 4 glasses of wine with a more-disco-than-you cousin...being a bit "yah-dahling", pitched roofs and sky lights, the Pit Rivers museum, unrivaled childhood fear of Freddie Kruger, neon sign, quiet bookish types, the monotony of having to listen to prog when you have attention deficit disorder, fear of hospitals, waltzing to Blondie (doing the male dace parts) on a zebra skin rug, fleeting moments when you feel all reckless and young, steaming rows when someone smacks the table, Italy beach resort, Japan Market, hatred for Camden Town, hatred of shoulder pads-gratuitous 80s sartorial revival nightmares and helmut haircuts-please stop subjecting us to your Elizabethan face paint and physics teacher getup..."Borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered '80s", BIG city anxiety and eyeliner.

"I want to reach people and express myself. You have to put up with the risk of being misunderstood if you are going to try and communicate. You have to put up with people projecting their own ideas, attitudes, misundertanding you. But it’s worth being a public fool if that’s all you can be in order to communicate yourself." - Edie Sedgwick

George Pringle!
Just stopping by to let you know we've put some new tunes up since you last said hi, so come and let us know what you think! Also, there's going to be a brilliant night on at the Purple Turtle in Camden this Saturday (26th April). So if you happen to be in London, or you know anyone who wants a fantastic night out - We'll be supporting the fantastic Lancashire Hotpots who are heading down for a rare trip south - they're like nothing you've ever heard this side of watford. Check them out at myspace. com/thelancashirehotpots, don't forget your phone wallet keys and come and have a good chuckle while you dance!

Plus for our set we've got some exciting guests playing with us including Clem on funky guitar solos, Olly on trombone and Chlo on Cello. It's the biggest incarnatioon yet!

Go to glasswerk. co. uk/tickets to book your ticket now as it looks likely to sell out.

Hey,
Nothing new to say really, well.. that hasn't been said already. But, yeah, the ULU performance was really good (once i got there. I blame public transport, working in clapham and living in hackney...) and you dealt with the negative people incredibly well. Hope to see you playing in London again soon.

Also, just saw The Death Set, i don't know if that's really up your street but they're easily the most fun bad i've seen since The Tough Alliance in September.

Lovely blog post, by the way. Do more please, it's a nice change from the tedious crap most people write.

All the best,

James

Hi GP - any mayo on that screening?

COMMUNIQUE # 7

I recently interviewed writer, film maker, musician and art terrorist Joe Ambrose whilst he was at home in Marrakesh.
We talked about the Tsunami edition of Moshpit, his blood and sweat investigation of hardcore dancing culture, which is published in April as well as his upcoming performances in New York to promote his latest book, Chelsea Hotel Manhattan.
Read it here and on the hesterGlock website.

There is an article on the current Alan Kaprow - Art as Life exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. I attended the opening reception as a guest of artist Skylar Haskard, who re-interpreted Kaprows famous Apple Shrine with John Baldessari.
Read it here.


I have been traveling shotgun with singer/songwriter Kathleen Haskard across the USA. She plays the last gig on her US tour in San Francisco 2nd April at the Hotel Utah this time with a band which includes Tom Heyman (Alejandro Escovedo, Chuck Prophet, John Vanderslice, The Court and Spark and Paula Frazier) and KT White (Luce, Papa Mali,Chuck Prophet, John Mooney and
