He woulda loved modern advancements in cordless drills.
So this one time me and my partner lived in a bottom flat below uni students, and one of their dads was the landlord. It was our first place together. They’d play shitty thumping music til like 2am. I know how it makes you insane. It pushed me very close to some unhinged behaviour. I thought I was capable of anything. Visions of pure bloodshed.
This film is part live music vid and part gonzo horror, and grimy the whole way through. As a narrative it’s not that interesting but it made for a wicked second screen experience as I scrolled and vibed with the music. There’s really not much to it, but the longer it was on the more I appreciated what it was doing. It’s got some really cool shots and well executed stuff.
Baybi Day was mesmerising as Pamela. Completely cooked, and the most interesting part of the whole film. She would absolutely slay nowadays. Aubrey Plaza meets Mia Goth. And a killer stage name. Whatever happened to her?
By the end of the film I was absolutely down with The Roosters. Generic bass line and lots of moaning wailing and I’m vibing.
I don’t hate his painting, but it’s awfully big. Who’s the audience dude? Buffalo’s feel very American to me. Like bald eagles. In fact, I’d say it’s the second most American animal I can think of. Then maybe a coyote? And then a raccoon. That is all.
