There is a bit of a wave developing in Germany, Poland, Czech at the moment....Not sure about England.

 

Was at an art exhibition the other night where my mate was showing and had the misfortune to be talking to some people from London (Chelsea college of art and other 'types'). Within minutes they were trying to 'high brow' me about culture and such...and how Viggo Mortensen was eating in a 'Russian cafe' near their house durign filming of EP's and thier (learnt off by heart from the Guardian) analysis of Cronenberg (immediately grating the delicate palate of my artistic bullshit speak detecting inner ear). One painted dwarf (a small woman) was rather shrill (as she repeatedly fingered the gold buttons on my old YSL jacket I wear to 'throw people' at such gigs) saying repeatedly "You know even these buttons are political". There was other 'chatter' about Warhol and low budget films and the BFC and more contracted interactions about poetry and suchlike...

 

You see whenever I meet creatives from the old country I always walk away wishing rolling failure, death and destruction on the fucking lot of them.

Do you ever turn that on yourself?

The consequences wouldn't bear thinking about.

Germany's well into a resurgence what with the likes of Run Lola Run, Goodybe Lenin, Head-On, Downfall, Sophie Scholl, The Lives of Others, The Counterfeiters and Yella.

 

Not heard of much from the Poles or the Czechs like, what's the craic there? I mention Romania after The Death of Mr Lazarescu, 12:08 East of Bucharest and 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days have been getting a load of awards/acclaim.

I know it's a completely different context/meaning

 

... is why.

[Guest Patrokles]

To be honest, as I've said a million times before, if you listen to Radio 1, you deserve every irritation and inconvenience they put you through.

[Walliver 0]

I don't really understand what the problem is.

Kyrgystan is apparently the country when it comes to performance art....

 

...whatever performance art actually is...
