So... I've decided to make a sassy little blog. maybe out of boredom, maybe because I just want to lock onto the blogging trend, seems basically anything with opposable thumbs can publish their rants through this new medium. Whatever the motivation, I basically want to share with you my thoughts on fashion, visual art, literature, music and film, with little links of (hopefully) rather trendy attire/tracks/books/paintings/dvds.
ummm....
To begin,
I would like to introduce to a little known Glasgow band called Stroszek. They're a little bit like a product of sexual intercourse (sexing as I prefer to call it) between Movement era New Order and My Bloody Valentine. This is reflected in their name choice, Stroszek being a reference to Werner Herzog's 1977 film of the same name, to which, Joy Division front-man Ian Curtis supposedly hung himself. N'way, Stroszek's glacial post-punk sound is refreshing and inspires false nostalgia for us post-1990 babies, wishing we were lucky enough to have experienced the 1980s.
Their Manufacturing Consent EP (A Noam Chomsky reference for good measure) is available via Itunes cough* torrents cough*
