Musicians that I can promote on my tele show... (for those of you who can't be bothered reading the big blurb, sorry folks - it's a punk show, so if you don't fit this category on some level, I can't help you) BUT try www.alttv.co.nz anyway and you may have some luck on someone else's show...Oh and people in magazines who can giz a job ;-) I am happy when I am writing. So does anybody out there want to make me happy?!
Oh this will take me HOURS... I grew up on punk music, so it's always been a part of my life. A selection of bands I love are; A Global Threat, Anti Flag, Black Flag, Bloc Party, The Bronx, The Bones, The Casualties, The Clash, Converge, Dead Kennedys, Dropkick Murphys, The Distillers, Fugazi, Guided by Voices, Iggy and the Stooges, L7, Lower Class Brats, The Messengers, The Scarred, Minor Threat, Nina Hagen, Nirvana, NoMeansNo, Pixies, Ramones, Rancid, Sex Pistols, Social Distortion, Sick of it all, The Unseen and many more. I also really enjoy electroclash. Detroit Grand Pubahs was one of the best gigs I have ever been to. Nutcases! I despise classical instrumental music, it makes me feel very angry, I have no idea why (something from a past life?) but I enjoy some opera... I'm going to have to keep adding to this. I love Joy Division, Tool, Peaches, Interpol, Grand National and loads more.
The Filth and the Fury, Bad Taste, Natural Born Killers, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Malcolm X, Crash, Old School, Amelie, Wolf Creek, Office Space, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Taxi Driver, Total Recall (open your mind. Open your mind to me...) so many more. Too hard. Why do you care anyway? ha ha
Kill it, or tune into ALT and let all the other stations rot in their own bullshit. Nasty, nasty media bollox ;-) If I had sky tho, my tv would be tuned to Discovery. I love documentaries, especially crime ones. The FBI Files rules. Oh I sound so serious, don't I, but The Young Ones isn't on anymore!
Shantaram, Affluenza - When too much isn't enough, A Clockwork Orange, The Invitation, I love cookbooks - I'm no Susie Homemaker, but I LOVE good food. And of course, I love books about music, but not ones where you have to read each line five times with a thesaurus at your side just to understand it. Music is emotion baby not rocket science.
