Hmm
I don't think I talk enough on this blog so today I talk, OKAY! Not really sure what I'm going to talk about though as I relax into this ramble but I'll start by saying I will be attending the Homegame Festival in Anstruther this weekend which should be fun. It is always a bit risky when you have a great experience one year at a Festival and then go back the next year and for whatever reason or a number of reasons you never manage to recreate that "great" experience which I guess then has a knock on effect and dents your pwwetty memories of darling festivals past... and *breathe*. But I am looking forward to seeing a few of the acts on the bill along with my little sister's pet project, Panda Su. See what I did there? So clever. Though it probably wouldn't be too clever of you to keep a Panda as a pet. Homegame will pretty much take up all of my weekend so before I know it I'll be back at work and counting down the days to the weekend again and my Trip to Glasgow on the 20th with workmates! We have booked a fancy wee appartment in the City that is only a stones throw away from hijinks and hopefully goodlooking people to flirt with and say inappropriate things to. That should be fun. And then just like that it'll be April and I'll be throwing myself down a flight of stairs on the 1st to kid my workmates into thinking I've had a terrible fall and am now dead. April. Bloody hell! The year is flying by at some kind of accelerated rate or somethin somethin.
What next... hmm.. oh, over the next couple of months there won't be any great changes to the blog (you might be happy or deeply unhappy to hear) I don't think, although I am ready to step it up and get a bit more organised with the content that I post. There hasn't been nearly enough chat, not nearly enough nudity (from me or guests) and I want to feature more music!!!
The interviews/Q&A's will continue... and I have some truly fantastic artists already confirmed/interviews in the bag and all that jazz - so expect greatness!
(I have never intended for this blog to become a voice for unsigned acts, artists or strippers. There are plenty of blogs that do this already and do it well! II am a shameless individual and I want the good shit... the supermodels, the big bands, Diana Vickers and maybe one day if I am really good..... no I can't say. Wouldn't want to jinx myself. But I have really enjoyed myself so far and will certainly continue to feature the bands, actors, writers, models and photographers that "assault my senses". It certainly keeps me content and off the streets (god it's been a while since I worked that corner) so I hope you've enjoyed the talent that have featured as much as I have!))

WELCOME TO CRAZY w/ Tyler Shields
Hello readers of this blog I am not your normal writer I am what they call in the real world a "guest blogger" This is my first time as a "guest blogger" so hopefully it works out for both of us. You may also be thinking to yourself this "guest blogger" doesnt use punctuation this is true I do not lets not dwell on the past... Today the mission here has been finding classic Encyclopedia - Britannica's which is much more difficult then it may sound while my assistant and I were at our 3rd book store with no luck a 55 year old woman who looked like a sun dried tomato was explaining to me that they have them at the book store at the end of the road sadly the "book store" at the end of the road was in fact a taco stand and they had no Encyclopedia - Britannica's so after the 5th store we turned to the internet where alas craigslist has saved the day once again this time as we went to pick up the Encyclopedia - Britannica's from the crazy man selling them (for 25 dollars) CASH ONLY success at last but not without a bit of danger this man not only was selling the 1958 Encyclopedia - Britannica's missing vol 4-6 but he was also selling 2 guns 1 childs surfboard and a giant box of roman candles I did not indulge in the guns or surfboard I did however pick up the roman candles and those will be used at a later date for my pleasure... As for now I am getting ready to shoot and must go... if you enjoyed this crazy story feel free to visit my blog www.tylershields.com

REVIEW: Antichrist
Antichrist starts with one of the best opening scenes I have watched on film in a good long while... beautifully shot in b/w Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg make passionate love whilst their young son plays in his room. Only the son escapes the confines of his playpen/crib, balances precariously on a window ledge -and as the couple reach orgasm -falls to his death. The shot is beautiful. Horrible.
What follows is how the couple deal (or not deal) with the death of their child. Escaping to the seclusion of a cabin in the middle of a forest Gainsbourg and Defoe unravel in spectacular fashion. There is sex to be had. Violence you'll find uncomfortable. Mutilation to eek over. Talking animals (without the Wes Anderson inspired outfits) and nightmarish dreamscapes that the two characters attempt to circumnavigate over the course of the film. Your senses will be assaulted. But in a very good way I must add!
The direction is magnificent as is the editing and score. Lars von Trier may well be a dick to work for (if previous reports are correct) but if a film like Antichrist is the result then long may he continue treating his actors like shit for arts sake. Dafoe and Gainsbourg are the opposite of a pleasure to watch as they push each others buttons on screen -but that's a good thing -the commitment to their characters is commendable.
Antichrist is graphic, I won't lie, but it IS intelligent. Whilst some scenes in the film might have you covering your eyes they at all times feel necessary. And I do believe the opening scene alone is worth the DVD price but I'm certainly not going to refund you if you disagree. The film is a beautiful exploration of the body and the sick side of nature.
Easily one of the best horrors of last year you should give this one a go. And if you have already, please do get in touch.. I'd love to chat about the Epilogue.
on a choppy sea
The roof is on fire
The fire spreads fast
It races down the eaves and leaves there ash
My heart it beasts faster but I’m fast asleep
I am dreaming of your lips stick-ing to me.
There’s a panic down the hall
Tiny foot steps creep
Then a scream for my name through the smoke
now deep
Bodies moving in a coil, sweaty necks skin breaks
There’s a river by the garden but he’s much too late
The roof caught on fire at a quarter past eight
Only seven minutes later and this duvet smells baked
Mon corps une baguette
