El Mar, 2000

Spanish remember pretty well the horrors of la guerra santa and the civil war I guess, and have grown some sort of sordid love around it, cos they make the most beautiful gore films. The first one I remember seen was Cria Cuervos and I was around 6. I remember it made me feel that I was about to see something very sad and that it was gonna stay, but that I was also quite  morbidly curious about it. Funnily enough the next time I saw that actress, she was, now a grown up woman, in what I would say was the starting off the proper spanish gore, Thesis.

Watch El Mar, it is horribly beautiful and sad. And it will stay with you.. so I recommend to have some comedy to watch at hand, to wash the after taste away.

  'Meantime we shall express our darker purpose.

Give me the map there. Know that we have divided

In three our kingdom:and business from our age;

  conferring them on younger strenghts, while we 

    Unburthen'd crawl toward death.'

The eighties brought the obsession for the future in decay, the terrible consequences of human existence, the inevitable destruction of all things beautiful. And to my delight, the kids who grew up watching Mad Max, Blade Runner, The Terminator, RoboCop and the like are now making all sort of responses to this fascination.


What you see here is 'After Effects',  Daniel De Nero's moldy architectural models with a coating of flour and water.


     “…the sense of time and destiny of the planet after the human species.” 


"...how to reproduce in small scaled the particular sensation of being in a lonely, abandoned place."

The Good Gods!

Don't you just fucking love when the post man brings something nice for a change?

Today he brought me a CD with 5 tracks from The Good Gods! inside a hand made sleeve and with a lovely badge and a picture of a cat!!

They send it to me for free when I signed up for updates!!  I'm officially inlove with them.

This has totally made my week.

You should  listen to them, so go here, now.

UNMADE BEDS (2009)

Every now and then, I accidentally find some photograph, or a song, or a film that is slightly cheese in a way I would like to have been part of, but more like if wish i had woken up with that song playing in the radio, when back home it was hard to get hold of music.. or when you find a family photo you haven't seen in a long long time and you recognise your favourite cardigan when you were a kid.

This film felt like that. And I really loved the soundtrack.

You can watch it here.  And you can hear and even download here the best as cheesiest of songs...  enjoy.
