Always Crashing In The Same Car
August 5th, 2010
I’m under the cosh of an impending deadline at work right now so I’ll have to leave you these for your brains to chew on for a bit. Two old BBC films with the creepy atmosphere that 70s telly did so well featuring the great JG Ballard talking about the eroticism of cars and car crashes. Even if you think he’s talking a lot of silly bollocks (I’ve been in a car crash and believe me there wasn’t anything sexy about it) there’s still lots to enjoy: Sweeney-esque cars, the Westway, and Gabrielle Drake getting saucy with a gearstick.
Must Our Licence Fee Fund Such Filth?
Stephen Duffy yesterday, and J.G. Ballard today. Amazing. There’s lots of great tracks you could have had for this entry: Cars (Gary Numan), Warm Leatherette (The Normal), Motorcade (Magazine), Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles: influenced by one of his short stories), anything by Empire of the Sun, anything off the Klaxxon’s Myth of the Near Future (another J.G. title), 4JG (The Human League), Underpass (John Foxx), or the Teddy Bear’s Picnic (his favourite piece of music ever).
