Fucked Up Blind Kids

From when Blind was a good company. These are unopened and I should put it in a frame.

Roma away.

Here are a few photos from an away trip to Roma from last season that were on my phone. As usual we didn't fly into the city of the game, we flew to Naples to see Napoli v Lazio.

Because of all the aggro in Italian football over the past couple of seasons there were no away fans for this fixture but inside it's a free for all. Alot of the fans were smoking hash and some were walking around the terraces bootlegging beer. They had carrier bags full of it. This seems to be quite common in football satdiums in France and Italy. It's pretty laid back and as different from English football as is possible, and better for it.

We got in with moody tickets. We didn't know this but the tickets have names printed on them. I had Vicenzo Rovito's and at the first gate they didn't want to let us in but we explained we had come from the Napoli Supporters Club and we weren't gonna smash the place up and they let us through. The second turnstyle is bar coded though and the tickets would'nt work but some fans doubled us up and we got in.

After a couple of days in Naples we head to Rome where we met the rest of the crew for the game. As usual we leave it very late to get to the ground and miss the supporters bus. We jumped in a cab which dropped us off right on the otherside of that fucking Ponte Duca d'Aosta Bridge which is the last place you wanna be. Arsenal go through on penalties and when we are finally allowed to leave one of the busses gets ambushed and a Gooner gets stabbed. They cannot fucking get it right can they.

I'm not too sure about going back to Italy for the football. I'd like to see Fiorentina and Juventus are in a different ground but I for one have had enough of their bullshit. Being treated like cunts by the police and the fans are just as bad. It's like Spurs with decent beer and nice birds. It wasn't a bad trip though. Not one of the best but it was ok.

This is the queue to get into the Flavian Amphitheatre. We didn't fancy this so we got onto one of the tours and we went straight in.

This is exactly what you shouldn't do when in Rome.




This is what it's all about....

Diana camera photos

I always dread getting pictures back from the lab that I have shot on my Diana camera. It's so hit and miss, and although that is part of the fun of using these cameras it is not unusual to get a roll of film back that doesn't have one single good shot on it.

I took these pictures at Trafalgar Square about three or four years ago and was pretty stoked when all three of these shots came back on the same roll.

Doug Martsch, Some Things Last A Long Time

I was in two minds about posting this because it has already been posted somewhere else but it's too good to ignore.... Doug Martsch playing Daniel Johnston, it doesn't get much better than that.

Keep listening to Built To Spill..... Remember kids, it's all about Marc Johnson.

Nouvelle Vague, Dance With Me

This is the very, very cool video for the Nouvelle Vague song "Dance With Me" and I have been watching this quite alot recently. It features the scene from the Jean-Luc Goddard film Bande à part where Anna Karina is dancing in the cafe. Too cool.

Nouvelle Vague season at the NFT

The Nouvelle Vague season is on at the NFT at Southbank until the begining of June. Suck down some culture, it's in French too so you can look intelligent.

Diego Bucchieri takes really nice pictures that can be found here.

Some of my friend David's photos from a few years back

These are some amazing pictures my friend Styley took in Colorado about 10 years ago. I don't think they have ever been seen.

Michael Jackson is moving to Chislehurst

My friend told me that Michael Jackson is moving just down the road from one of my favourite boozers to Chislehurst for his London shows. In honour of this momentous occasion I wanted to upload Guy Mariano's epic section from Video Days but the scumbag greedy Warner Group has taken down the audio from the video so this will have to do.



This is pretty cool though.
