Miscellaneous crap graffiti

Lots more nonsense words and slogans from all over Cardiff, I recieved great contributions from some friends for this post, pictures 4 & 5 were spotted and snapped by Bear-man's Simon Jenkins, and picture 7 by Phantomhead's Ian Watson.

This politically charged graffiti reads 'Fuck the New World Order', 'Fuck the E.U' and 'Poo bum bum'
If 'Flapz' is is best name this kid could come up with then what the hell did he reject?
Simple, and to the point. Lewis Sad, Luke Happy

A pesonal attack on an innocent observation
I don't think the person who wrote this was necessarily looking for a discussion about it
This was found in our studio building, Some people will go crazy for a quick fix of polish
No replies? Who could resist the poetic lure and charm of this sweet-talker?
Dildo is back! I wonder if he Knows Flapz?

Bear-man Stuff

Here's a great little piece on Bear-man and Phantomhead from the March edition of Cardiff's Buzz Magazine


I think the humble cassette is a fantastic format, you can fast forward/rewind it with a pencil, it's cheap, it can produce some great effects (warping, ghostly sounds bleeding through from previous recordings, etc), and has the added thrill of not knowing whether it's going to get chewed up.
Here's a link to Bear-man sticks maestro Phil Jenkins' solo side-project Bullied into Boxing, for some minimalist, synth-greatness.
