I like watching things on any kind of screen. I love screens.
Music
A Tribe Called Quest. Marvin Gaye. Al Green. The Aristocats OST. Black Moon. Big Daddy Kane (and his damn gold chain). Dr. Octagon (AKA Kool Kieth). Euros Childs. Fat Lip. Main Source. The Pharcyde. Gruff Rhys. Haircut 100. Herbie Hancock. Michael Jackson. Jehst. K-Solo. Kid Creole and the Coconuts. North of Ping Pong. Musical Youth. Ohio Players. Orange Juice. Raphael Saadiq. R Kelly (seriously, sorry). Shinehead. Supercar. Thomas Dolby. Talking Heads.
Movies
I think I may well have seen all of them, ever. Some a few times. For instance, I own well over a thousand DVD's. Many of them were used to dress Danny Butterman's DVD cupboard in 'Hot Fuzz'. Which goes some way to justifying a cumulative expenditure of at least £10,000 on the fuckers.
Television
I love TV comedy, and bad TV magazine shows. I never watch TV drama or sport. Just to free up time.
About me: Hello. My name is Joe Cornish. I am half of the television and radio comedy duo 'Adam and Joe'. And all of the Joe Cornish. I write and direct TV comedy, sometimes appear in it, present radio and TV, and generally try to make and be involved with good things.
If you want to see some of my TV work, pop 'Adam and Joe' into Youtube. If you want to hear some of my radio work, pop 'Adam and Joe' into itunes. And to see a selection of vids made by me, check out my Youtube favourites, under 'blackandwhitecake'.
Thanks to anyone who posts a message. Sorry if I can't reply to them all due to working and flopping commitments. I'll try my best to answer stuff in my random bloggings.
When are your exams over Rhiannan? I don't blame you one bit for falling asleep in ICT. Nor would I have blamed you if you had fallen asleep reading the Bible...I mean, it's not like you don't already know how the story ends - or are you doing the good Old Testament stuff, like plagues of locusts, floods, and an angry, vengeful god?
We do love it Ria, truly! It's just that we hate it too. And we complain A LOT (or at least I do). But really we are also excited.
Ha ha! PROJECT X!!! You know Joe's going to have to mention you somewhere in the credits for whatever Project X is, Ria. Just for pushing it along, you know?
Scampi flavoured anything is evil. Blergh.
That is all.
Oh! I have a question for Joe. I asked this before but I can't remember where, and anyway I didn't get an answer:
Q) Who sungded that wickety-sticks version of "Where is Love" that you played ages ago?
oh and i get dead excited about wrong wars and forget that it must not be the same for fruits and ru. poor loves. they just don't get the same enjoyment.
Guess what? By an amazingly serendipitous coincidence, I am going to the hairdresser tonight. Perhaps this will provide the impetus I need to finish my song. I really, really hope so.
Either follow the links above or search "Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire" on iTunes.
"Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists.
Indeed, at their single launch they offered an intense and impassioned performance, with snare cracks and upstrokes reverberating around the venue.
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch. " The Metro
About a month ago the chaps were chittle chatting about improving their online gubbins. Perhaps this is a silence before the big plan hatch? Bucksty was especially vocal about getting his blog under way properly!
Not only that, but on the last show Joey C was saying how incredibly exciting getting ANY SORT of mail is... well, that - Mr Cornish - is how exciting new blogs are to the JCommenters! Even if it's a bill.
So, what'cha been up to?
PS - The Song Wars album sounds VERY exciting! Anyone buying the Conchords album? I think I will...
I just LAftFT to this week's show, and I have to say that I reckon Adam had the Aussie radio hosts absolutely spot on! Although I do like some of the music they play, bogan DJs on bogan stations playing bogan music are a BLIGHT on polite society. I think Adam must secretly listen to TripleM.
Also, I think the Aussie fan base must be huge now. I mean, there was that lady from WA (Dawn?) who emailed them once, then the 'Tick in the Todger' person (that never did get resolved - I think it needs to be followed up), now the person whose name I don't remember who emailed in this week and turned Adam into Johnny Bogan from Warrnambool, and of course me and Sarah!
You ARE an idiot, Rustle, coz I'm IN the future, and I have no idea what you're talking about! Ha ha! Bet you didn't foretell me calling you an idiot, hey?
I love each and every one of you, probably just a little bit too much. Mostly because I've had 3 Baileys as a nightcap.
Yeah I made that sentence up... but in the future (when syntax, grammar and punctuation are a thing of the past) it will be a perfectly acceptable clause. Yay! I'm an idiot.
Although last week's episode of Peep Show was a filthy classic, I'm afraid that "Oh great, I'm getting an angry lap dance" is still the best line ever. I'm gonna have to start getting Peep Show on DVD. I don't know why I haven't before. Zavvi has it at 3-for-£20 I think. I'm there!
Happy Sunday (and nearly Monday for Fruits), loves and hugs from Rusticalidocious xx
"And possibility seeing before it's what been happening."
Am I being entirely stupid not being able to understand that as a sentence?
Secondly, this is an* extract from what my friend said to me on MSN today: "Hi my name is Peter and I am obsessed with DT. How am I? I am good, I have just been doing some DT. What have I been up to? I have been up til 1 or 2 in the morning every day recently doing DT work. Have nearly got it finished! How's school? Well I haven't been going to any lessons apart from DT so that I can really get this DT work done. What am I going to be up to in the next week? Finishing my DT! Also I like Heroes. Heroes is great. You should watch Heroes. Let's have a Heroes marathon. I love DT."
*Potentially slightly made-up but a fair representation of the truth.
Becca-Wecca she got my gift. The power of future thinking. And possibility seeing before it's what been happening. And that.
I just saw the worst/best Peep Show scene ever! "...well I win ...because they think I pissed myself when really I came all in my pants." Jesus wept (then did a gufty). It's a genius show.
I'm very disappointed that the sexy robots didn't win. Although I was glad to hear that Joe has Joe-bot as a name thing. Is that your gamertag Joseph? Mine is moggyroe - if you fancy some Cops and Crooks banter on GTA then I'm there. I'm crap though.
you have all my sympathy fruits. ALL of it! flu sucks arse.
i am so happy! peep show is back and it is still funny! although jez seems to have changed...?
i don't want to check absolutely out because i still have a massive list of things that russell has given me that i need to check out. it's a struggle to get them through them all-stop adding more russ!
i forgot my name is earl in my list earlier. i love jason lee. even though he is a scientologist. boo!
Oh, Andy...*sigh* Of COURSE this is where we all hang out. It's Joe's lounge room! He's not home, but that doesn't stop us.
Sorry, I don't like ANY of the American programs you guys have mentioned. I did used to like the Love Boat, does that count?
Russell, I'm gonna check out Absolutely - it better be good! ;-)
Uck. I still sick with the flu. I know my status says I'm feeling better, but that was last night, and this morning I can't believe I was stupid enough to tempt fate in such a way. Please all feel sorry for me! Thanks!
I like The Simpsons, Sopranos, Scrubs, Curb and Battlestar Galactica. Also the Wire. I think that's about it. Flights of the Conchords was HBO but it's really New Zealand tv in my books. The Americans have the high production values coming out their vision holes though... they just have the cash to splash I suppose.
If you are interested in brilliant homebrew tv (from Scotland) then I highly recommend Absolutely - again. It ran from 1989-1993 - four series - and was the fixation of my early teens. I love love love Absolutely. It also led to the birth of Don & George but that didn't run to as many episodes. Anyway, youtube (ha ha! you tube) 'Absolutely Scottish Comedy' and you should find something witty. Stoneybridge! And if you like that then buy the complete box set, which just came out on Monday. Happy times.
Other than that, I went to a horror fillum tonight. P2. It was utter gutter. Total rubbs. Don't bother.
Riddle me Ria, why did you miss the wire off your list? It's without a doubt the greatest TV series of all time.... after The Adam and Joe show obviously. And Adam and Joe go Tokyo.
Also my sister is obsessed with Friends so I'm forever walking into the living room and hearing her say 'Oh, Aislinn! Quick, come and look at this bit, it's really funny, honest!' She is funny. That's how I know 'Mike from Friends', anyway.
I love Curb Your Enthusiasm! The Simpsons is okay, but every now and then I do get a bit bored of it. And Star Trek: The Next Generation I love. I also like Whose Line Is It Anyway? because even though Clive Anderson is British all the people on it are American really. Well, half of them at least. And that is about it for me. English TV on the other hand... I could go on forever. I won't.
i love that you're not a big fan of friends but you know paul rudd as "mike from friends" ahahahaha! that's funny.
american shows are great. you people are maaaaad! here's a list: (non-comedy)heroes, 24, smallville, CSI (?), battle star gallactica (for russ) star trek (all were ace!) buffy, shit! i can't think of any more... (comedy) curb your enthusiasm, friends, simpsons, futurama, scrubs, will and grace (haha!) cheers, frasier, oh! i can't be bothered but there's loads! not too mention other oldies but goodies like the wonder years, bewitched, clarissa explains it all...HAHA! i'm going to go away now.
Haha I was going to say pretty much what Lex said about American TV.
I'm not a big fan of Friends either, I really can't stand the show. Sorry! :/ I do like Chandler though. He has some good lines. But aside from that...
And what, Paul who? His name is 'Mike from Friends' in my head!
ok, ok...i can deal with you not being into smallville or buffy, lex. but friends?! it's a classic, everybody loves friends? don't they?
and sarah, buffy is ace. they got a bit carried away with it but it was nothing like dawson's creek. believe me. there was never a happy ending. really. anywaaaay, i'm bored of defending american programmes. bye.
Nah haven't seen any of the second series of Torchwood. They haven't started screening it in Australia yet (and we haven't bothered to illgeally download it yet either ;-)) - I do like Dr Who (hello - David Tennant - what's not to like?) and I used to love Friends back in my younger days (though I never saw the last few series of it) - As for Buffy. Well, I did watch an episode once. Maybe twice. I never really understood the appeal. To me it just looked like Dawsons Creek with monsters thrown in so that people wouldn't be embarrassed to say they watched it.
