One Little Bang To The Head's Interests
General
Crafting & writing music, Europen/Independent cinema, Theatre, Media, Photography etc.
Consider myself something of an all-round artist - painting, sculpting, poetry, making pretty things out of all kinds of crap... I..m even an actor, to boot! Oh, so much... Just ask!
Music
Happily lost in music:
Matmos/Soft Pink Truth, Plaid, Aphex Twin, Funkstorung, Sigur Ros, Mum, Herbert, Opiate, Squarepusher, KID606, Oval, Leila, Daniel Agúst, HK119 etc...are geniuses i wont expect you to have heard of... Kate Bush, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Bjork and Patti Smith are a few other legends you may have heard of :-)
Underground Electronic / "weird" music: Al: Warp records, Planet Mu, Rephlex, Matador, Fat Cat, Magic & Accident, One Little Indian... people who push sound forward!
Other than the more avant garde to my tastes, modern classical al: Arvo Part, Meredith Monk... etc.
I love a challenge.... If I'm in the need of braincandy, slap on some disco or 70's soul and I'm there!
Yuri Norstien's "Tale Of Tales" and "The Hedgehog And The Fog".
Lars Von Triers "The Idiots", "Breaking The Waves", "Dancer In The Dark" and "Dogville".
Thomas Vinterberg's "Festen".
Jean-Pierre Juenots's "Amelie" & "Delicatessent"
Michael Haneke's "Funny Games", "The Piano Teacher" & "Hidden".
If I want to scare the shit out of anyone... "Irreversible" (Best you don't ask on that one, actually!) Basically... Bewildering European cinema.
Other such braincandy includes the works of Russ Meyer ("Beneath The Valley Of The Ultra-Vixens!" *RULES!*).
The LEGENDARY "Barbarella".
... such delights as Quentin Tarentino's back catalogue (about as "hollywood" as I get), and gems such as "The Umbrella's Of Cherbourg" and "Welcome To The Doll's House"... Amongst many more!
Television
Mine is basically a table now... Barely get the chance these days...
Had a guilty fetish for "Sex and the city"... Usually whatever bewildering crap Channel Four churn out at 3am!
"Monkey Dust", "Daria" & "Rex The Runt" passed the time nicely... (I now live in an episode of Monkey Dust anyway!)
Books
"The Picture Of Dorian Gray" - Oscar Wilde.
"The Complete Work of..." - Pierre & Gilles (Yes, I know they should be under favourite artists..but I love my book!)
(Feel really guilty...Haven't got round to reading anything new in eons! "Wonderful, Wonderful Times" by Elfriede Jelinek was the last I think... Very hard work!)
Heroes
Kate Bush - The boss... No need further explanation needed.
Quite an introvert, eccentric sort, grinding away making ends meet in a fabulous industry in Ol' Londinium.
Lazy Artist & Designer. Secret poet. Lyricist & Writer. Once apon a time actor. Budding Musician & Performer. Blah, blah avec blah...Oh, and the one that puts food on the table, Media exec. AS WELL as spare pair of hands for the odd fabulous record label... So busy, yet STILL cant f**king get up in the mornings!
This is MY Record shop... Get your own!!
Over the last year I have adopted the role of "Unsigned Electronic recording / live artist manager" for seven artists, one DJ and VJ, and two regular live events in London and Coventry... This has recently culmuated into forming an actual management:
