In the liner notes Daniel Ash who played in the influential band Bauhaus declares ”I think gothic doesn’t really exist”; Wayne Hussey from the Mission UK shrugs ”I’ve been called a lot worse than ‘goth. Years later you can hear goth’s influence everywhere from death metal to dance pop to ambient music to emo. Ash says gothic didn’t really exist maybe that helps explain why it never really died. Three CDs and one DVD.

Andy the vocalist can turn his voice on a dime as spontaneous shouts are heard and he begins ?A Little Room to Breath. ? Andy says ?This song is for our men and women in uniform? and the band plays ?Welcome Home. ?Black death metal rains down upon us as the Austrian band Belphegor brings a potent and heavy presence to the stage. We wouldn?t be surprised if their music didn?t really come from the darker side of death itself. That being said their non-melodic songs are laced with deep growls and vocals that sound more like incantations and satanic rituals. It must be hard to sound so evil and they are absolute masters at it. Drummer and Lead Singer Nefastus has the face of an angel and a demons voice.

For each city he created a group of works that he felt expressed its individual spirit. For Venice a group of richly sensual oil paintings with his signature slashes and punctures evoked his personal experience of the lagoon city in glowing colors during the passage of a day. For New York he chose shiny metal surfaces slashed and pierced to give a semblance of the wired energy and architectural vivacity he saw as the essence of the futuristic metropolis. The two groups are united for the first time and well attended by works and photographs of works that trace from 1949 the career of an artist seeking to transcend the boundaries of his era. 1071 Fifth Avenue at 89th Street (212) 423-3500… Smith’s art is also deeply corporeally realistic. It wears moral and mortal seriousness on its sleeve if not tattooed to its wrist. It is about life and death the essential things. 945 Madison Avenue at 75th St (212) 570-3676. (Cotter)Galleries: Chelsea STEVE MUMFRD: ‘THE WAR IN IRAQ’ Mr. Mumford this exhibition of paintings based on field drawings and sketches done in four trips to Iraq from April 2003 to ctober 2004 during which he was embedded with United States military units in Baghdad and the Sunni Triangle. His paintings function differently from news photographs and television images — they are not so mediated which is one reason perhaps that they are so arresting.
Languor and violence reunited in Casino Royale
Times nline – Nov 24, 2006
Casino Royale begins with a short black-and-white sequence heavy on venetianblinds and so on in which Bond is seen earning his double-o status bykilling a couple of baddies. These baddies are actual spies rather thanboilersuited minions and one of them dies quite nastily by drowning in asink in a public toilet. The sequence ends with a stirringly executedvariant of the gun-barrel opening shot at which point cue music colourtitles and in the audience a wave of overexcitement. Martin Campbell thedirector manages to keep this wave going for much longer than usual byplacing the traditional opening stunt sequence after the titles rather thanbefore staging a long and energetic chase through a building site inMadagascar featuring the talents of Sebastien Foucan one of the inventorsof Free Running. The chase also serves notice that this Bond is a “bluntinstrument” as M played again by Judi Dench puts it. Where Foucan’scharacter leaps over walls Craig’s Bond bashes through them. The title sequence itself is notable for dispensing with the silhouetted nakedwomen pioneered by Maurice Binder concentrating instead on stylized CGIcombat… He is appealinglyclassless and can also act making the scenes designed to humanize Bond lessembarrassing than similar attempts in the earlier films. Naturally themovie has its martinis and drinks them giving him Fleming’s fussy cocktailrecipes to dispense as well as the now-famous response to theshaken-or-stirred question: “Do I look like a give a damn?”. Among otherincidental jolts we get a taboo-busting glimpse of M’s husband as well as aBond girl who’s allowed to use the word “arse” -though I worried aboutthirteen-year-old boys’ attention spans during the overlong effortfullyromantic last act and sad to say the underwater death scene is lesseffective and poetic than the one at the beginning of The Bourne Supremacy.
Pencil This In
Gothamist – Nov 24, 2006
The noir jazz ?play-with-music? is adapted from six short stories Allen published in The New Yorker. Here’s the low-down: ?Private Eye Kaiser Lupowitz has seen it all then a dynamite brunette asks him to find the most elusive Guy in the whole of New York. ? The Sunday Times of London declares it “an ideal evening for thinking jokers and joking thinkers… ” Laylage Courie who stages the text as a tea party explains that the poem ?references the African-American tradition necessitated by poverty of marking graves with pots broken glass metal scraps plants and other detritus. Like these decorations the stanzas are humble necessaryimpoverished yet comforting ‘decorations around the theme of death’. ? n our invitation to the tea party we?re told that ?hat & gloves are optional but bourbon is recommended. ? Since it?s at the liquor-licensed Bowery Poetry Club that shouldn?t be a problem.
