Bank-Thievin’, Blood-Thirsty Nuns;
Russian Roulette With Fearless Punks;
An Abrupt & Vulgar Wriggling of The Pierced Tongue-In-Chic
That’s As Uncomfortably Humorous As It Is
Sexy & Sadistic—
E x p e r i e n c e
“Sádicios Infernal”
Visit the Black Bvs Records shop for the CD-R La Main Gauche,
on which both tracks appear:
(Go ahead & fling the slab of Velveeta at me over that one—I’ll cop the rationale of Twi-hards in my defense: “I don’t know how it happened! I must’ve been roofied or something, ’cause my taste level—I mean, my defenses—were down. Really: I’m really much cooler than that!” )
Hidden, the sophomore release by British “art-rockers” These New Puritans, is now available Stateside. You know, as in: domestically. It’s a lot of things, this aural assault: a mélange of the cinematic and the classical, the intimate and the evasive, the post-modern and the profound. However, one adjective that isn’t applicable for what’s quickly become my favorite release of the year (thus far)? Sophomoric.
Spot-check this Most Correct clip for the album’s single “We Want War,” directed by Daniel Askill:
Full Disclosure: While I Loathe Band “Groupies” (seriously? try screaming at an art opening or academic conference—that’s subversive… whereas offering to give roadies head for a laminate back-stage? such a seventies’ cliché; I’m yawning), I Have An Insatiable Affinity For The Limited-Edition/Signed-&-Numbered/Gatefold/Box Set/3″ CD/10″ EP/Colored Vinyl/Picture Disc Of It All.
& no, I won’t be gauche & remind you I’m an Aries. Instead, moving right along…
—image of the band taken from their page at Last.fm (Don’t Ignore It; Explore It!)—
The video for “Elvis,” a single from the band’s premiere album Beat Pyramid, is also Most God, Indeed.
† “We’re all waiting/Or Forever Made/And if there is a God, then please take me up…” †
Consider the gents on the handsome side? You’re not alone. Twin brothers Jack (vocals) and George Barnett (drums) have been ogled by the fashion set since the band’s inception in 2005. Before they’d even released a full-length album, designer Hedi Slimane commissioned the “band” (translation: George, whom Slimane also featured on the catwalk) to record a soundtrack for his final collection at Dior Homme, the “Hiver” 2007 runway show. This was Barnett’s first professional modeling gig, though the demand for pale, angular creatures from the xy set has kept him busy: campaigns for Lanvin and Ray-Ban; editorials in Dazed & Confused, Zoo, Arena Homme +, 10, GQ, Another Man, and Vogue Hommes Japan; and runway work for dozens of designers, including Burberry Fall/Winter 10/11, Prada, YSL, Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Dries van Noten, Veronique Branquinho, Galliano, and Gucci.
However, insofar as far as my own taste goes? Not that you asked, but I’m backin’ Jack over George. & speaking of back, let’s do exactly THAT
the JARED GOLD/CLINT CATALYST CO-BRANDED MERCHANDISE—

Item Description:
Congratulations! You are really did it this time! You’re twisted, deviant, salacious, and—of course, lovable. What better way to announce it to the world than this “Perv” Prize Pin?
(That’d be five stars, in case my strand of Polari doesn’t translate well.)
Fully backin’ the ability to customize the size and lay-out options, as well as the international content contained therein.
To be honest, I’d rate the content in the current “issue” as a 4.5—meaning, of course, I know full well The Indie Fashion crew is capable of upping the ante beyond the established paradigm.
My request? Sprinkle in some content fromJapanese men’s Vogue—as I’ve yet to see a single copy at any news stand (and I live in L.A., for F’s sake)… but the scant amount I’ve been fortunate to locate on-line?
Of course, there’s also the occasional editorial in Imago ‘zine (Canada), Gazelleland (New York), Coilhouse (Los Angeles) and the slew of $40-and-over periodicals rife with opulence, editorial genius and consummate consumer lust that creep their way over from Europe…
Because these?
Of course, this is merely my opinion: but it’s when these truly independent flashes of serendipity—synonymous far too often with short print runs before the recently-launched creations belly-up…
It’s when these disparate elements get stirred into an already stellar sampling of aspirational imagery
that my mind melds &
corneas are left burning with a brilliance that feels so
There’s a section on my beast of a MySpazz page where, for quite some time now, I’ve been posting a “Reader of the Week”: images of folks being as somber or silly as they want, so long as they follow two rudimentary guidelines: 1) keep it PG-13, regardless if the subject matter veers toward “X Rated-Adjacent” territory and 2) incorporate one of my published works (Cottonmouth Kisses and/or Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache), ancient relics/self-published chapbooks, an anthology in which a story of mine appears…or, in one instance, photographs of me that were published in…
:: Well, You.Get.It ::
Of the seventy-something thus far, I’ve featured a spectrum that spans from bondage bunnies to strategically-placed texts “about a comma short of indecent exposure”; from high drama in high heels to low-and-deliberately-difficult-to-find positioning of the aforementioned. (A Veritable “Where’s Waldo: Catalyzed,”
if you will…)
When the collection hits the 101 mark,
I plan on posting my favorites from the batch as an archive of Greatest Hits.
Until that time, however? I’m really digging on the pictures submitted of peeps sporting their
a photographer based here in L.A., though I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her yet…
However, up next? Someone with whom I have shared hijinx—as well as the bathroom at Fred 62 *(winkage)*—is my favorite Russian Cosmonomad/”Techno Renaissance Internet Goddess Extraordinaire” [Lou O'Bedlam]:
the JARED GOLD/CLINT CATALYST CO-BRANDED MERCHANDISE…
