Richard Billingham - Anthony Reynolds Gallery



Richard Billingham 9th April - 22nd May 2010. Really nice show. Great to be reintroduced to a photographer after 12 years. I first saw the incredible and disturbing "Ray's A laugh" during my photo foundation year! Billingham is a great photographer and an inspiring artist (even though I'm usually a cynical git). Look for his work if you not familiar it is brilliant in every scene of the word. The book, "Ray's A Laugh" is fetching (if you can find a copy) for, in and around £2000.

LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls - Directed by Spike Jonze

Spike you annoyingly gifted git! Time and time gain you push it. Take it to another area of the room smash it up like an escaped mad man then hand it back to us as we watch with astonishment, wonder and then we hand it back with high praise. The best thing is you seem to have allot of fun, all of the time.

Balcony Blues

Winter has allot to be desired for. All I remember it the cold, the rain and wanting to get indoors all the time. Its only when you record, and go back to it, you realise it looks quite epic at times.

The Warriors - 1979

Cheap one liners, bad hair, awful acting. God this is an amazing film. I was born the year it was released and I have fond memories of slapping a kid at my birthday party for talking too much trough the film when I was 7.

CAN YOU DIG IT!!!??

Elvis Doing Gospel

Coming at you with classic hymns like "How Great Thou Art", "Joshua Fit The Battle", "Reach Out To Jesus" and every sketchy priests favorite "He Touched Me".
Elvis, I haven't been to mass in some time but If they played it like you, I'd be there in a flash every Sunday and I might even accept Holy Communion. Yes Elvis, "Reach out, Reach out to Jesus, he is indeed reaching out to you".

A Love Letter to Ireland - by Claireban

Beautiful Claireban, thank you for reminding me of my mother.

(Co Wicklow - Niall O'Brien)

A love letter to Ireland

IRELAND
IRELAND
GOD
I MISS YOU
i miss you
I miss you
I miss you blowing in my hair
whispering in my ear
confusing me
I miss lying in your fields
swimming in your seas
smelling you
smelling of you
i want to inhale your gorse
Kneel in your churches
Perv on your knackers
I miss your men
God i miss your men
I miss your tracksuits
your nike airmax
your women
your mackerel
your humor
you camouflaged me
you illuminated me
you gave me this skin
Ireland your in me
your my name
your my great strong roots
the blaze in my hair
my voice
my accent
my prayers
my curses
my wilderness
my WILDNESS
your my conscience
my family
my freckles
my fire
You Mothered me
Fathered me
Your the most beautiful land I've ever seen
I dream of you
I love you
I love you
I love you

see you soon

Claireban
