Ascension

Before I start blogging properly again... Jesu's new album 'Ascension' should be out on May 10! I'm excited! I'm doing a Jesu update, 'cos I miss doing them. I still want VidnaObmana's 'Chasing The Odyssee' 8LP box set, but it's like £50 and I have no money at the moment. It'll probably sell out by the time I try to get it, it's limited to 400 copies. But it looks very pretty, and I quite like VidnaObmana, plus it has Jesu and Final remixes (why do you think I really want it?). Honestly, I would probably never listen to it (mostly because I don't have a working turntable), but I kind of need to own it. Otherwise the Triads said they'd break my knees! Also out that I need is Iroha's debut album, the imaginatively titled 'Iroha'. Iroha are fantastic, and are Jesu-y enough to stop me from getting withdrawal symptoms. Except I don't have the album, and me writing pointless, beneficial-to-no-one blogs about Jesu is most likely a withdrawal symptom as it is. Still, on Tuesday, Pale Sketcher's 'Seventh Heaven' EP is out! And I probably won't have the money for it after Valentines Day, but it sounds SOOOO good. The title track, for example, sounds like Jesu mixed with The Prodigy. Somehow it works. I'm a bit too excitable.

I'm ill and feeling a bit lazy lately so haven't really been blogging. Plus, writing reviews is hard work. I want to try and sound a bit academic when I do it, so it takes me a long time to process my thoughts into something that would make for good reading. I feel like I should write a review of 'Piranha 3D' and go in the complete opposite direction though. "It's an okay movie. Quite funny, 3 out of 5. OH COOL, BOOBS! LOTS OF THEM! MORE BOOBS! GORE! MAYHEM! BOOBS, GORE AND MAYHEM IN THE SAME FRAME! IT'S THE BEST MOVIE EVER! 5 OUT OF 5!" I honestly don't know how else a review of that masterpiece could be written, the fact that I gave you one completely unprovoked speaks volumes about the power of boobs and gore on celluloid. Which is why I'm excited for 'Drive Angry' at the moment. If all that I've read is to be believed then the film will contain boobs, gore, and mayhem. AND Nicolas Cage. Goddamn. If I don't happen to have written the least academic review ever written before that film (which I'm pretty sure I just did with 'Piranha 3D'), then I'm pretty sure my review for 'Drive Angry' will not only kill every brain cell in both of our brains, but also kill the need to see any other film ever again!!! Fingers crossed.
