EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY (Julien Temple, 1988)

How this movie escaped my grasp as a child i cannot understand. I saw it in the video store, i saw the preview on other videos, yet like ships in the night...

Anyway, I finally watched it last friday night, and I can tell you it's without doubt one of the great crap movies of the 1980's. I'd put it right up there with The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun for pure trashy pop culture enjoymotainment. I would have loved it then, and I lurve it now.

The plot basically has nail salon gal Geena Davis having some hairy aliens crash land in her pool and then to hide their alienness from her slimy doctor boyfriend she shaves them and they turn out to be total babes and they go wild on the town in LA and romance and trouble and dance-offs ensue.

Director Julien Temple (he made The Great Rock N Roll Swindle) mainly had a background in music videos and this is basically a wacky late 80's LA pop music / culture movie, with lots of song and dance sequences and plenty of colour colour colour.

Lets get a whole bunch of popcorn and and some champagne and paint our toenails and watch it together!

SLOW GRIND FEVER MIX #1

A little mix of the kind of Slow Grinders you'll be Slow Grinding to at Slow Grind Fever on saturday night / sunday morning.

FLESH (Paul Morrisey, 1968)

On a whim I ended up going to see this at The Astor the other night. The first Warhol / Factory production i've ever actually watched, and the first time i've ever seen what was inside those pants on the cover of Sticky Fingers!

It's a nice mix of art movie, cheapo sexploitation flesh fest and cinema verite documentation of the New York warhol bohemians artists hustlers scene at the time, with a loose narrative about the travels of rent boy Joe as he wanders around the city trying to come up with some bread for his wife's friends abortion.  Famed warhol star / street hustler / nude model / hunk o meat Joe Dallesandro is indeed quite something to look at stretching around in the buff, and he's really rather charming in his spaceheaded whateverness. The improvised dialogue is all pretty funny, and I had me a pretty good time just digging the scene, as it were.

I can't imagine watching this at home without getting kinda antsy and going to do something else, but trapped in the cinema it was a real treat to just lay back and enjoy the looseness and the little window into a period in New York that's long gone and ain't coming back...

on the radio, in the world...14/02/13

ON THE RADIO

Bunch o slow grinders at the start, interview with The Stickmen at about 5:45 (they got a couple reunion shows at ATP and The Tote), and sum other stuff too. Oh yeah, we gonna have a giveaway of the new Kim Salmon / Spencer P Jones album Runaways. It's really good too!

IN THE WORLD

Brides playing at the Public Bar saturday night, Slow Grind Fever afterward!

Very excited to bring you SLOW GRIND FEVER, a new monthly late night dance dedicated to the “Popcorn” style oldies they love over in Belgium. Slow, swinging, minor key fingersnappers with twangy guitar and ghostly ooooooohs. It can be r’n’b, rockabilly, ska, country, white pop crooners, if it sounds vaguely like “Fever” by Little Willie John, you got you some Popcorn… It sounds sleazy and delicious and it’s so slow you can dance to it all night long without breaking a sweat.

So whatever you doing beforehand, come down to The Public Bar from midnight and do some slow grinding…

SLOW GRIND FEVER – w/ DJ’s Richie1250, Pierre Baroni and Mohair Slim

SAT FEB 16TH @ THE PUBLIC BAR

Midnight till 7AM (so officialy it's in the early hours of sunday)

FREE ENTRY

And if you got nothing to do beforehand, come down and see Richie1250 & The Brides Of Christ, The Hondas and The Braves play in the same room from 9 till Midnight!
