The Raising of Lazarus

Heres an amazing painting I saw while visiting Brighton. Its The Raising of Lazarus by Jan Lievens, painted in 1631. It is really beautiful, and so creepster. Sadly it is hung in a really bad way at the museum and gallery, sort of like just placed randomly. Still I was glad when I managed to find it online - I love it.

Holiday celebrate it could be so nice.

A few pictures from my holiday using a camera I got from Latitude festival earlier this summer. Its a pretty bad camera (was only £12) and doesnt even have a flash, however the cool thing about it is its got 2 lenses, which both have a different shutter speed which means each photgraph consists of 2 different images. its all fun fun fun, check it out.

POP POP POP

O HAI. LETS TALK ABOUT POP BABY LETS TALK ABOUT U AND ME LETS TALK ABOUT ALL THE GOOD THINGS AND THE BAD THINGS THAT CAN BE.

I dunno, something like that.

OK so I totally freaked out last week when I bought the new pop. I didnt have a scanner and I was on holiday and all I wanted to do was shout about it. I was totally throwing up about it... to kick myself in the face with my own saying.

Now Ive had time to breathe, lets go over it properly shall we.

OK so I totally bought it twice. I know Im an idiot but A) I wanted both covers B) I wanted to cut one issue up and C) and D). Im glad I did though because now I can scan and talk. I like/love the colour cover best. I think both are awesome though, so exciting to see Tavi make a cover. Have I become one of those people throwing up over her? It doesnt matter, she is AWESOME.

I dont have any of my old issues to compare but Im pretty sure the format of POP has changed a bit. Not only is it laced with these cool like pull outs and 'mini zine' type things, its also more like the September Dazed where the editorials and articles are mixed up together. it starts with this shoot which is OK, but uses that same choppy collagey thing again. I like the eyebrows though, and obviously loving the Comme.

THOSE SHOES!!!!!!! (ok you cant see em very well, but trust me THEYRE THERE.)

Next theres a sweet little interview with Ed Ruscha, which I will admit I have only read half of BECAUSE while I was reading on the train I had this sudden irrational and UNTRUE feeling all of a sudden that the man sitting next to me was in fact Ed Ruscha himself, so I got really self conscious and turned the page. I like this picture.
I dint really like the next set of pictures. I dont know if theyre linked to an article or if theyre just how they are, but either way the model is pulling this same face in every picture and they just seem like bad juergen Teller imitations.

YOU WILL ALL BE AMAZE'D to learn I fully read the next interview with Subodh Gupta. well I call it the NEXT interview, of course there was a bit inbtween that I skipped, and some awful accesory pictures I wont mention but YOU KNOW what I mean. Anyway Subodh is cool, I saw some of his work earlier at the Tate Triennial. I think it was part of Altermodern, although if it wasnt I saw it when I went to Altermodern so there you go. I like this.

OK I really love this shot, and the jewellry is way nice too, but what I dont get is WHY IS SHE SMOKING? or rather why is there a cigarette balancing on her lips? so pointless. Its not like Im some massive anti smoking freak, its just I dont like it when there is POINTLESS smoking in fashion shots.

oh this is niiiiiiiiiice (GUCCI):
Although I really like the next little mini mag with the curtain effect thing, the pictures within do nothing for me. I like the chair hats though.


Haven't read the article to accompany this, but I love this.

Next is an article on Brody Dalle who I heart, but theyve done something wierd with her eyes in the pictures which creep me out so I wont scan. then theres some accessory pictures, some topless Irina pictures (yawn) and some bad pictures of a model in a nice woodland setting.

The Damien Hirst interview however is way good. I have always been so undecided about him but this interview made me like him alot. I apreciate his morbid fascinations, and his art collection sounds incredible. Im fully going to his upcoming shows. LOVE LOVE LOVE the George Taylor piece in this picture.
LOVE the Jil Sander peek.
REALLY LOVE the Jessica Stam/ Lily Cole shoot. Yeah even Lily cole doesnt annoy me in this.

The next booklet has a really nice cover.

The images inside are nice too specifically this page.
Really like this feature. love the images and the general atmosphere of it.

I havent read 'A proud history' but I fully intend to. I love the images anyway.

The Nina Ricci shoe pictures sort of creep me out. Theyre just so... yonic.

The Tavi pictures are sooo great I just LOVE the styling. OK So I really loved her self styled pictures in LOVE, but these are just completely different.
This styling is just FLAWLESS.
OK. THIS PICTURE HERE. THIS PICTURE!!!!!!! This is just the best fashion shot I have seen ALL YEAR.
woah.

Next theres a cool little pull out zine made by the superstar blogging kids, mainly 'Fake Karl'. I dont really know much about that but I do like the cover.

The next feature looks a bit like this:

and is OK but not really great.

then theres some feature on this ugly woman with big boobies which looks lame, with truly hideous images.

then theres a few other bits including this.

and then finally an interview with naomi Campbell which is cool and has a few nice images too.

OK SO YEAH ITS A WELL GOOD ISSUE OVER ALL. for five bob you cant go wrong, really.

Can I also just say

That I think the biggest fashion insult of the summer, without question, is when stupid motherfuckers go around with skinny jeans rolled up to the ankles.

THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY DONT YOU DARE EVER DO IT.

ZINE TEEN

ALSO I HAVE BOUGHT SO MANY MAGAZINES THIS LAST WEEK IVE GOT A CRAZY LOT TO SAY. IM WORKING TOMORROW BUT TOMORROW EVENING I'LL GET STARTED. WE'RE TALKING POP/i-D/WONDERLAND AND YAY! TANK!

like the tide, I return.

Is that even a saying? Well I dont care. IM BACK! IN TECHNICOLOUR WITH PICTURES AND VIDEOS AND MUSIC AND ALL THE REST.

So without a moment more of hestiation, I present....


THE SEPTEMBER PLAYLIST! OH YEAH!

You need Spotify for this shit, but I know you kidz are the whizziest of whiz kidz so Im sure that aint a problem.

Since this is the first one, it is more a collection of songs that have been inspiring me through the last few months, rather than songs that Ill be slamming to through the current month. Next month it will be like that though, etc etc. Also I'll be adding and all that throughout the month. fun!

So if youre feeling like you wanna listen to some good shit, check it out. Let me know what you think, K. HERE IT IS.

Those Basterds.

Oh hai. Ya still on a proxy so its just more boring words from me today.
I went to see Inglorious Basterds last night. It was good but I have a few bones to pick with it. I dont know maybe if you havent seen it and plan to see it and dont want it spoiled for you, maybe you shouldnt read.


OK. So dont you think that the actual hero of the story is Melanie Laurents character? Well I totally felt this so its such an injustice that she is barely mentioned anywhere in the promo for it. Everyone is busy throwing up over Brad Pitt when really he doesnt seem much a character of substance at all. I think he is pretty bad in it but his character is the main problem. I mean he is supposed to be the lead? but his character has no history or anything. its just him leading these people for no real reason. I mean obviously there is a reason, but not a personal one. If that makes sense. I think Melanie's character however has a real good story to it, interesting and really well acted. Plus of course in the grand scheme of things it is her who gets things done in the end. The other characters just mess it up. I also think its so unfair how they put her in that red dress at the end which is really awful on her. I like her styling up to then though. Although her hair is just awful all the way through and I dont know what they were thinking.

Secondly Diane Kruger is really great in it, but once again its so unfair how she is billed abouve Melanie. Also her death scene was SO frustrating. You know that if it had been real her character would have faught back alot more. she had more strength than that I am sure. I added that to my list of many other sexist moments in the film. It was a very sexist film, I think. Although mainly for the reasons which I have just spoken about.

I thought the 'gory' moments were ok although I thought there would be more so it didnt bother me that much. It never does though, I am definately one of those de-sensitized people that can watch most things without flinching. I liked the reactions from some of the other audience members though.

So OK it was very good and I enjoyed it alot and this was definately supposed to going to be a positive review but then I just thouhgt of all those other things that Id been thinking about while watching it so it made me forget the rest. OH YEAH! its really funny! it really is. and the story is really great and so is the dialogue and also there is some good acting in there especially from Laurent and Kruger, so it is worth seeing, if you havent already.

anyway I aint exactly a film critic so ya know just go with it.

Happy September

WELL I WAS SUPPOSED to be giving you a lovely little virtual present today, however, since T-Mobile internet is SHIT, Im updating this via a proxy and so cant do anything except type. lame. And I really dont have anything else to say because this whole post was supposed to just be this other thing. anyway maybe tomorrow. xxxxxxx
