Television:


Get this video and more at MySpace.comThis is Amina (now Amiina; Sigur Ros's backing group) showing their absolute talent. Their music is somewhat primal, elegant and poetic. Check them out, however this clip is at least half hour long but it's worth it. Amina - Icelandic Genius's.Gotta be Most Haunted, Cutting Edge (depending on the subject), Jam, Brass Eye, Twin Peaks and any kind of interesting documentaries.

Books:

It is for poets with an edge.Transgression: http://groups.myspace.com/transgression

Heroes:

John Wilmot, Lord Byron, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Stanley Kubrick and all my friends at uni and home, cheers people!! Can't forget to mention Oliver Reed!! David Lynch's great short (a homage to the Lumiere brothers, it was actually filmed by the cameras they used in 1897) and of course, he's another hero of mine. So is Peter Greenaway, his Lumiere short is the one after Lynch's, enjoy!.. width="425" height="350" .. .. width="425" height="350" ..ov2.jpgKaren O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, she's just amazing, I love her, she's ace!..This is a film by Maya Deren called Meshes of The Afternoon. I think that it's a superb piece of avant garde filmmaking. Maya Deren, a peer of the late Stan Brakhage created many experimental films. This film is widely known as her best piece of work. Meshes of The Afternoon is an absurd illustration of one's nighmarish world of murder, death, unrequited love and strangely mirrors. I adore this filmmaker and I hope that you enjoy this surreal masterpiece. Dur: 13:29The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
