THE PAIN OF AN UGLY MAN

There's something about a big, hulking, ugly man screwing up his face and singing something along the lines of "please don't look down on me, because i'm weak, when your in love its eaaaasy to be" that just floors me. Here's four favourites from that particular sub-genre...

OTIS CLAY


otis clay - that's how it is when you're in love

LEE SHOT WILLIAMS


lee shot williams - i found a love

lee shot williams - it ain't me


BOBBY "BLUE" BLAND


Bobby Blue Bland - These Hands


ROY ORBISON






Any other suggestions that fit the bill?



Oh yeah, and while browsing for pictures of the aforementioned ugmo's, i found this great shot of Ann Peebles (she who can't stand the rain). She's not too ugly, but pretty soulful all the same...



ANN PEEBLES - GIVE ME SOME CREDIT

ENTER THE VOID (Gaspar Noe, 2009)




You sure are a perv, Gaspar...



Who would have thought that such a beautiful looking film, by one of the worlds most exciting directors, filled to the brim with hot sex and drugs and psychedelic shit could be so, well, BORING? Pumped as I was about seeing this (I thought his last film Irreversible was the best thing I'd seen in years), I gotta admit that after the first pretty engrossing 45 minutes, I spent most of the next 2 hours or so sighing and wishing it would hurry the fuck up... But nonetheless, I've been thinking about this movie constantly since I saw it a month ago, and I think you should all go see it too!

The basic plot is a young American man living in Tokyo dies an unnatural death, then floats spooky like over the city, observing the aftermath of his death. Drag though it does, sound and vision wise it's unbelievable, and certain scenes are so memorable they make the fidgeting worthwhile. It certainly has by far the most realistic intra-head depiction of being on drugs I've ever seen on film.

Definitely one to see on the big screen. To quote David Lynch...

HEARTS OF FIRE







Onto our second selection from the box of crap VHS titles I found on the street, Bob Dylan, Rupert Everett and Fiona in "Hearts Of Fire"! Bob is a faded bob like rock star named Billy Parker now napping shirtless on his chicken farm, Rupert Everett is a millionaire british new romantic pop moppet superstar ponce, and 'Fiona' is an ambitious and naive young bar band singing 80's spunk. Eventually they become embroiled in a heated love double helix cube, people shag, somebody punches somebody else, a fan shoots their face off, snooze. yes. You keep hoping it's gonna get camp enough for some kitsch value but it's just all round dull. I guess Bob was lost enough in the 80's to decide this was a good idea. All the same, the few sparks of enjoyment come from his general Bobness.

You can watch the whole thing in parts on youtube if you really want, but as Chrisdrumz says in the comments section:

"Wow,this really DOES suck"




And if we have any real tragics out there, you can bid on the auction for the jacket bob wears in this turbolame movie. Bid to the heavens!

RICHIE1250'S EVENING STROLL

Every Thursday night in January at The Penny Black,
420 Sydney Rd, Brunswick from 7pm. Kinda like a six hour episode of Stone Love, only you can watch me do it and heckle me while smoking, drinking beer and eating pizza

CAMBODIAN SPACE PROJECT





Helping these Cambodian guys out with their tour. Pretty cool stuff! Apparently they're the first group from Cambodia to put out a 45 since Year Zero. Kind of a throwback to that dope sixties Cambodian sound. They doing their album launch at The Workers Club on Sat Jan 8th w/ Richie1250 & The Brides Of Christ and Monty Sparrow as well shows at YahYahs on Fri Jan 7th and Pure Pop records on Sun the 9th, and getting interviewed on Dave Beynons "Enter The Dragon" show on PBS.

Here's a link to a zip file with a couple of CSP tracks, a couple old 60's Cambodian numbers and some brides.


Hope to see you at one of the gigs!
