To English To Cry

A quaint disaster,
To easy to miss,
A subtle punch,
To little a force to dismiss.

I couldn't let go on the village green,
Wouldn't break down amongst the serene,
Weak squash to help me breathe,
There's no future in the heads space,
To English to cry.

Clean air becoming more rare,
Racing the quakes,
Breathe in whats left,
Place your feet on the brakes.

Knitting Factory Awards, Best Of 2010 Part 1

This wont be held at the hammersmith appollo or even at anyones local bowls club, its just a persons view of 2010's highlights....And the winner is............

Album Of The Year

Titus Andronicus - The Monitor


This is due to the fact its the album I listened to from start to finish the most, I at times I craved it, waiting to finish whatever i was up to, so I could put it on again, you couldn't pick a single from it, listen and find out why. Hard to define in fe words, this is nowhere near a good enough metaphor, but its closer than the others and their were some pompous ones, and the fact a cant make a couplet fitting, reveals its genius. It's like watching a jack russell on its daily walk and lucifer battling it out to mark their territory, the dog endlessly sniffing to find the perfect spot, trailing through brambles and bluebells against it owner's amusement, while lucifer snuffles around trying to bring the uninterested canine to its knee's, and failing x

Film Of The Year

Shutter Island



Stylish and raw, bemusing and brilliant, like well cooked lamb shanks its leaves you wanting more and in the good way and not in the is that it way. Tried to think of others but this one just kept popping up over and over. Perrier's Bounty not far off in second and 44 inch chest coming in at third. 

Knitting Factory Open

The Knitting Factory is a poor excuse for a mind, it contains no music, no films, no poetry, no books, no recommendations, no style and definitley no substance. We can change this, and god help us we could x
