Just in the middle of watching The Police documentary from 1980 that follows them on a Far-Eastern on tour…..this quote from Stuart Copeland struck me because it’s 31 years later and really not much has changed! Talking about why his band previous to The Police didn’t work out:
“It was a band that was contaminated by the music industry. The two albums I did were both rejected by the record company, and when you’ve spent £20k on recording an album only to have it rejected by a guy wearing a business suit who doesn’t know anything about music……because it sounds too rough, or because it’s too quirky, or well basically because it can’t get on the radio, then it makes you very paranoid when you’re writing music and working in the studio - the record that you make has to be something that they can play on the radio and there’s no room for taking any chance or for doing anything really artistic. It’s entirely commercial gain.”
The Prodigal Son
Reconnected with my love of kung fu films the other night - this is a clip from one of my favourites, The Prodigal Son. Fished out the dvd and was transported away from everyday life to somewhere magical…that’s what I love about these type of films. If you get a chance, check out The Prodigal Son, it’s a really special film. Love the choreography. The wing chun is like a cross between martial arts and ballet.

Hoping to shoot with her in the next week or so.
Watched Wierd Science last night for the first time since I was like 15. Never noticed back then that the cast includes a young Robert Downey (not with the ‘Jr’ in the credits). Here he is on the right, as one of the jocks who pick on our dweeby protagonists.
Jason Koxvold
Jason Koxvold, Heaven
These photographs are haunting. Remind me of the french horror film ‘Haute Tension’. That was one scary fucking film.
