I guess I wonder why it's quite so acceptable to say something that requires you to query whether others might see you as a fascist as you hang around Camden Town tube station? God, it made me feel sad.

I really enjoyed this, but did feel like some of the laughs were a bit uncomfortable. Black people laughing about blackness is one thing, but Whitey McPlainYoghurt here chuckling away is maybe it's less appropriate. Although I never watched Friends.

I think David Shire has been a bit light fingered.

Very clever, daddy.

Although I have thought more about it than any film since Megalopolis (which i mostly liked), so that's something. Just a shame i'm thinking stuff like "hang on, none of the main characters had any goals outside of driving the plot. They're just there to allow Garland to make the next point".

Lovely interview! I couldn't believe how excited Canty was at the 100 Club. He was great as the evenings MC too.

God Told Me To is well worth a watch. Proper odd and an Andy Kaufman cameo that could have got him shot

Have you seen King Cohen, the Larry Cohen documentary? I think he's brilliant.

I thought you said 'trash', not 'high art'?

The shop is in Hackney, but their bandcamp is probably easiest for you cryptofthewizard.bandcamp.com

They do their own releases (fair bit of 70s/sleaze rock at the moment) and tons of underground metal as well.
