So, when she cheerfully describes how mean she was to her pet dog as a child Im not disposed to like her. Don't let the reviews and interviews about this book fool you; everyone wants to focus on what this book talks about regarding her relationships to household punk names that precede her: Sid Vicious, Johnny Rotten, Johnny Thunders, Joe Strummer, Siouxsie Sioux, etc. I really liked that she never really ended up committed to Jones, but instead had lots of liaisons with men. I recommend this to anyone who is a Slits fan. I spend most of the week after this treatment on the polished wooden floor of our bathroom, writhing in agony and vomiting bright green liquid as blood pours out of my arse, which feels like it has been slashed with a razor. It was a journey into the past, getting a glimpse of her life and the times back then. I found the part about her band the least interesting. And one day she wakes up to find herself a ghost of what she was, living in the country, which had once been an escape and had become an exile. And the vocalist was a 14 year old nutter who squawked and roared and flailed around wildly on stage all the time. I hold the speck in the palm of my hand. She talked a lot about these things, which upon first thought made me think she was incredibly shallow and superficial. He uses everyday language to tell me, his girlfriend, to stop messing around. What's more even if I had no interest in punk, or indeed no idea about Viv Albertine, I am sure I'd still love this book. Viv Albertine was the guitarist. There's the sort of resigned air about Albertine - not in a bad way, but more in a "Hey, this happened, and this is who I am now" way, which I fully appreciate. View all 6 comments.

She's not usually a writer, except for writing scripts and songs, but this book has content that makes up for the lack of stringency and solidity; somehow, that's what musical autobiographies often lack. Ari has no such hang-ups. Searingly honest autobiography. The teddies we would hold by their feet and smash them at each other in vicious fights until they were torn and mangled, with eyes and ears missing. Split into self-contained chapters, Viv variously describes growing up in Muswell Hill, her family, school, teenage experiences, working at Dingwalls, punk, The Slits, close relationships with some of punk's biggest names, making records, teaching aerobics, filmmaking, cancer, trying to conceive, marriage and domesticity, and creative reinvention. And launching her comeback as a solo artist with her debut album, The Vermilion Border. On surviving cancer: At the end of the radio- and chemotherapy, I have one last treatment to go through. You know the saying: There's no time like the present It's a very hard thing to see in yourself and express, that feeling of not having been right, not knowing the correct philosophy for a moment, just reacting with what you have at the time. We sailed from Australia to England on a ship called the Arcadia , according to a miniature red-and-white life-belt hanging on a nail in the bathroom. The Meaning of Mariah Carey. Not only is this a great reflection on a seriously influential moment in time, but there are so many great bits about being a woman, artistic inspiration, and how to keep your identity intact while having a family or NOT doing that. It's also a memoir about a courageous woman and original thinker. Spoiler alert: They're a part of the title. And one wonders how many of those famous shaggers are in much the same boat, but never had the guts to admit to it. Or abortion, marriage, motherhood, and surviving cancer. And of course i still love the slits. Her book has an honest, lo-fi grace. The Slits would go on to serve as an inspiration to future rockers, including Kurt Cobain, Carrie Brownstein, and the Riot Grrrl movement in the s. The dolls were repeatedly buried in the back garden, eventually we forgot where they were and they perished in the earth.

Sort order. Lists with This Book. In that case, we can't Music, Music, Music. On it starting: My period started the day before my thirteenth birthday. This book tells the story of a girl who didn't know shit about playing music but did it anyway none of her friends knew shit about it either, but being a girl and without any other punk lady guitarists to look up to, was up against much more. There isn't any trying-to-be- clever here, it's life. I doubt the teen Albertine and I would ever have bonded as friends -- she's just too much of a girly girl for me, I never dealt well with the 'boy crazy' types -- but I so admire this woman, I cannot te I kept thinking I'd already written this review because the book has so completely seeped into my consciousness. One of my earliest memories is of my mother and father tucking my sister and me up in bunk beds in our cabin. People in bands are just kids, everyone's favourite album was made by a 22 year old for a load of 17 year olds and we ask too much of them as a result. All the messages about the illusions of 20th Century freedom they wrestled with which my generation inherited and took for granted, they really went through a lot to get them out there.

  • Exhibitionein Film Von Joanna Hogg Mit Viv Albertine, Liam Gillick & Tom Hiddleston
    EXHIBITION ein Film von Joanna Hogg mit Viv Albertine, Liam Gillick & Tom Hiddleston | UK 2013 | 104 Minuten | englische Originalfassung mit deutschen Untertiteln | Fugu Filmverleih | Deutscher Kinostart: 11. Dezember 2014 “It’s in the Walls!” D in EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS Zwei Künstler, ein Haus, eine unkonventionelle Ehe. H und D leben in einem extravaganten Bau im Londoner Stadtteil Kensington. Sie arbeiten parallel an ihren Projekten, geben Telefoninterviews, lassen die Außenwelt nur gedämpft herein und verabreden sich über die Haussprechanlage zu Sex oder Abendessen. H. hat das Gefühl, schon zu lange an einem Ort zu leben. Er überzeugt D, das Haus zu verkaufen. Im Prozess der Ablösung gerät die Beziehung in eine Krise. Plötzlich erhält D, die Angst vor Veränderungen hat, das Angebot einer großen Einzelausstellung. Wird die Ehe zerbrechen oder ein Neuanfang gelingen? Stellt sich heraus, dass ihr Traumhaus die ganze Zeit schon ein Gefängnis war? PRESSENOTIZ EXHIBITION, der dritte Film der „einzigartig begabten Filmemacherin“ (Martin Scorsese) Joanna Hogg, ist ein großstädtisches Kammerspiel mit drei Darstellern: der Ex-Slits-Gitarristin Viv Albertine, dem Maler und Objektkünstler Liam Gillick und dem „H-House“ des Architekten James Melvin. PRODUKTIONSNOTIZEN EXHIBITION ist der dritte Spielfilm von Joanna Hogg, einer vor allem von der britischen Filmkritik umjubelten Filmregisseurin und –autorin, die 2007 mit UNRELATED auf sich aufmerksam machte und deren zweiter Spielfilm ARCHIPELAGO (2010) auch in Deutschland ins Kino kam. Beide Filme zeigten Hoggs Talent für Ensemblechoreografien, für einen analytisch- beobachtenden Stil und einen scharfen Blick auf die englische Mittelklasse – deren Verhaltensweisen, Ängste, Tabus und Verletzlichkeiten sie sehr genau kennt. UNRELATED und ARCHIPELAGO sind raue emotionale Dramen und spröde Sozialkomödien gleichermaßen, die ihre Autorin als originelle neue Stimme im britischen Kino ausweisen.

  • A Film by Joanna Hogg
    presents EXHIBITION A FILM BY JOANNA HOGG UK / COLOUR / 104 MINUTES / 2013 A Kino Lorber Release from Kino Lorber, Inc. 333 West 39 St., Suite 503 New York, NY 10018 (212) 629-6880 Publicity Contacts: Rodrigo Brandão – [email protected] Matt Barry – [email protected] SHORT SYNOPSIS When D and H decide to sell the home they have loved and lived in for two decades, they begin a process of saying goodbye to their shared history under the same roof. The upheaval causes anxieties to surface, and wife and performance artist D, struggles to control the personal and creative aspects of her life with H. Dreams, memories, fears, have all imprinted themselves on their home, which exists as a container for their lives and has played such an important role in their relationship. LONG SYNOPSIS Artists D (Viv Albertine) and H (Liam Gillick) are a married couple who have lived together in a West London house for nearly 20 years. It is a modernist house - all verticals, reflecting windows and sliding partitions – and seemingly the ideal residence for two artists who each work independently at home in their separate spaces, occasionally communicating briefly by intercom. Throughout EXHIBITION we see D and H living together, working separately, communicating or failing to communicate – in a series of moments depicting a long-term relationship that sometimes seems to be in meltdown, at other times extremely strong. It’s autumn. H suggests to D that she’s unwilling to discuss her work with him; she says she’s reluctant to expose herself to his criticism.

  • 'I Wanna See Some History': Recent Writing on British Punk

Tucked away on the b-side of the Sex Pistols’ third single, ‘Pretty Vacant’ (1977), is a cover version of The Stooges’ ‘No Fun’. The song had long been a staple of the Pistols’ live set; on record, however, Johnny Rotten chose to open the track with a diatribe against those attempting to imbue the punk culture he helped instigate with broader socio-economic, cultural or political implications. ‘Here we go now’, he snarled, ‘a sociology lecture, with a bit of psychology, a bit of neurology, a bit of fuckology’.1 The target of Rotten’s ire was the tendency of journalists such as Caroline Coon to underpin punk’s anger with reference to the desperate economic circumstances of the mid-1970s. It was only ‘natural’, Coon had suggested, that a group of ‘deprived London street kids’ such as the Sex Pistols would produce music ‘with a startlingly anti-establishment bias’.2 But if Rotten was not so sure, then academics, journalists and political commenters have – perhaps predictably – tended to side with Coon.

  • ADAM and the ANTS Adam and the Ants Were Formed in 1977 in London, England
    ADAM AND THE ANTS Adam and the Ants were formed in 1977 in London, England. They existed in two incarnations. One of which lasted from 1977 until 1982 known as The Ants. This was considered their Punk era. The second incarnation known as Adam and the Ants also featured Adam Ant on vocals, but the rest of the band changed quite frequently. This would mark their shift to new wave/post-punk. They would release ten studio albums and twenty-five singles. Their hits include Stand and Deliver, Antmusic, Antrap, Prince Charming, and Kings of the Wild Frontier. A large part of their identity was the uniform Adam Ant wore on stage that consisted of blue and gold material as well as his sophisticated and dramatic stage presence. Click the band name above. ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN Formed in Liverpool, England in 1978 post-punk/new wave band Echo and the Bunnymen consisted of Ian McCulloch (vocals, guitar), Will Sergeant (guitar), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). They produced thirteen studio albums and thirty singles. Their debut album Crocodiles would make it to the top twenty list in the UK. Some of their hits include Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, The Cutter, Rescue, Back of Love, and Lips Like Sugar. A very large part of their identity was silohuettes. Their music videos and album covers often included silohuettes of the band. They also have somewhat dark undertones to their music that are conveyed through the design. Click the band name above. THE CLASH Formed in London, England in 1976, The Clash were a punk rock group consisting of Joe Strummer (vocals, guitar), Mick Jones (vocals, guitar), Paul Simonon (bass), and Topper Headon (drums).

  • A Quienes Los Dioses Enloquecen
    A quienes los dioses enloquecen Rafael Toriz Por vivir en tiempos donde la intimidad de cualquier hijo de vecino obedece —aunque sobre todo simula— a la lógica del espectáculo, olvidamos que el género de la biografía —tan envilecido en el presente por la autoficción, los libros en primera per- sona y la sobre exposición del yo en diversas plataformas— solía tener una impronta única porque contaba la historia de personajes que por alguna razón particular mere- cían ser destacados del olvido de la historia o al menos de la banalidad constitutiva de la mayor parte de la especie. Hoy por hoy Instagram es el realismo social de nuestro tiempo, imágenes donde una mayoría enajenada cree encarnar la imagen de la felici- dad y sobre todo cree en la necesidad de compartirlo. Si bien toda vida encierra misterios y ensenñanzas (no todos dignos de ser con- tados), hay existencias que han dado forma y contenido inigualable a la cultura popu- lar, de ahí su merecida o inflada celebridad. Por ello, resulta neurálgico señalar que el libro de memorias Ropa música chicos, de Viv Albertine, es un testimonio desde las en- trañas —contado por una mujer, cosa que siempre se agradece— del nacimiento de una de las sensibilidades más auténticas y potentes del siglo xx: el punk rock en Inglaterra. Contada en primera persona por un testigo protagonista de un momento irrepe- tible, la efervescencia que describe la ubica no como una groupie, sino como una de las pocas personas que sobrevivió a una época de descubrimientos y tumultos que dio lugar a una música nueva y a una sensibilidad que, aun pese al estado del necrocapita- lismo en el que vivimos, impacta y permance en el presente por auténtica y desgarrada, por decirlo con Henry Rollins.

  • “The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
    “The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living.
