It's a quiet day, it's raining, and the pundits have finally stopped arguing; it's time for a glass of wine (or perhaps Miles Davis' Bitches Brew?) and these fine tunes playing on your hi-fi system. Celebrate the election (or the lack thereof, at least) with Jared Emerson-Johnson's Busby Berkeley-inspired meditation on war, as well as Ergo Phizmiz's love letter to David Cameron and Nick Clegg. J. J. Burnel took time out with The Stranglers to cut a rad solo album, extremely cold and European, and 'Freddie Laker' is by far the best cut of the lot. A couple soundtrack pieces here as well: Lydia's theme from Caligula is pure late 70s cheese, absolutely ludicrous and fantastic because of it. The Black Angels was an awful 1970 bikersploitation movie, and despite you thinking that could lead to some badass tunes, 'The Cigarettes Song' is among the wimpiest songs I've ever heard.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that there's an exploitation genre of anything you could possibly imagine. Nunsploitation? Nazisploitation? Clownsploitation, for chrissake?? Anf if there's one thing that Tommy Wiseau's ludicrous 'The Room' showed me, it's that even something as patently insane as Dramasploitation can exist!
"Bikersploitation," haha :)Another realm of cinematic exploration I've yet to indulge.
