The Eternal Children – Coco Rosie

21 May

I found this documentary on You Tube a while ago – The Eternal Children is about Coco Rosie, Devendra Banhart, Antony Hegarty and Vashti Bunyan. I watched it mainly because of the fascinating Coco Rosie. It’s in 6 parts, and they are all on youtube.

Today it’s just me in the studio, sorting some pens and making some stuff. Bliss.

Har Mar Superstar

28 Nov

I used to listen to this crazy guy when I was younger. He popped into my mind whilst in the shower this morning, and I find out that he’s on a UK tour NOW, in Bristol in a few days. How strange is that! 

This Har Mar persona is something I haven’t seen before. He tries to be so sexy, and he’s completely not. It’s incredible. I like how passionate he is. Wikipedia says: “Har Mar Superstar is a character who bears several physical and behavioral similarities to porn star Ron Jeremy; he is chubby, he often performs his shows nearly nude, and appears obsessed with his own sexual prowess.”  His music is apparently an ‘unmistakeable brand of libidinous disco funk’

He’s playing at the Thekla on 1st December. To go or not to go?

I still quite like his song ‘Power Lunch’ featuring Beth Ditto! Youtube video? Go on. It’s awful!
