The Conspiracy Of Silence Ought To Revolutionize My Thought
Four songs for you. Have a nice weekend.
Magazine “The Light Pours Out Of Me” – Jack Fear, wrote this about the song on Barbelith: “Best bass hook ever: one note, over and over, with the accents moving around in incredibly driving manner—and a guitar line that reinvents Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll Part II” as something deeply sinister. It’s a great song—a masterpiece of tension and release… Pete Shelley has a co-writing credit on the tune. The great Buzzcocks song that never was, then.
Something To Look Forward To
From Fantagraphics:
We’re pleased to be able to report that United Artists has signed a first-look deal with GHOST WORLD production company Mr. Mudd for future films the company develops, and the first flick on the slate will reunite EIGHTBALL creator DANIEL CLOWES and GHOST WORLD director TERRY ZWIGOFF. Ghost World producer and actor JOHN MALKOVICH will star in ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL, inspired by the acclaimed Clowes short story from Eightball #7. United Artists will release the film domestically, with Miramax Films co-financing the picture and handling foreign distribution. The black comedy takes a satirical look at the modern art world with the story of a young man who goes to art school with the intention of becoming the Greatest Artist in the World. Contrary to some inexplicable Hollywood reports, the protagonist is not a cop and Drew Barrymore is not attached to the film. Clowes is currently polishing the screenplay and with any luck, the movie will begin filming in 2003.
