One Night Stand from Jack Tew on Vimeo.

One Night Stand (2010) Directed and produced by Jack Tew and Dave Humphreys

Its a weekday so hopefully not alot of you woke up to this predicament….


high fidelity spoof (genius tour advert)

Dan le Sac, Scroobius Pip, Riz MC and Nick Frost all in this wonderful High Fidelity Spoof (if you havent seen that film, why are your reading this blog…go now), the wonders of a great idea executed to perfection….could there be an English version in the making…i’d watch it and im not really a Scroob fan, if you are though tour kicks off in October, dates in the film above.


two weeks to go…

Wow time is flying like mythical pigs round here and the official end to my summer is drawing closer and closer, Sun & Bass 2010! Im so excited that i’d thought i’d remind myself of whats in store by watching this short film from last years festivities hosted by Bailey! If you haven’t got your ticket yet and are still in need of a festival fix, it aint to late to get your sh*t together and go, see you on the beach bee-yatches!

when i lived alone….

I would often do the house work in my under wear,  colour matched headscarf & heels. This must be the reason my house is a mess since Nick moved in…. ;P


the bedroom cinema

The bedroom cinema

Laid low like broccoli on Sunday after a pretty hectic Saturday in Manchester at Parklife. In one of those moods where the outside world was a hassle so after Sunday lunch at Tillys i returned to my boudoir and turned my bed into a cinema! Spent 8 glorious hours watching films old and new from a horizontal angle…total bliss and very entertaining heres what i watched and what i thought.

topical high brow comedy


ok its not topical unless your a film student in class right now but it is genius…if you dont laugh then your brows low :P
Admiration to the Engine-Earz for his seeming selflessness!


so you’re sicilian?

Has to be the best scene from True Romance, Walken & Hopper killing it!


this is so weird to look at

Dam without a protein shake every day 50 is a different bloke! Dont worry though (were you really) all is well in the world of Curtis Jackson, he’s just getting all method on us for his next film ‘Things fall apart ‘ where he plays as a footballer player diagnosed with cancer. 100% points for effort visually i just hope his performance has received as much preparation!


red, gold & green

Ok i think i choose a favourite from The Wiz it has to be this jazz fused, colour spectacular absolute genius of a song section with an awesome visual sequence, The Emerald City..dam there being no good videos of this up on Youtube…your gonna have to go watch the film for this songs full audio/visual impact!


‘terror illustrates my era’

My 90’s hip-hop vibes from last week in back in full effect yo! Been routing through my tape selection and found Murder Was the Case. FALL BACK ANY RAPPERS OF TODAY YOU’D STILL GET MURKED! Remember when the film came out sneaking the film into my friend Sarahs house, and watching it in her parents room whilst they partied downstairs, lol. This and ‘Come up to my Room’ ft my fav Jodeci member Devante are my top two from the album….sidetracking now im going gooey googling pictures of Devante, schwing!

Any way im feeling ridiculously hype listening to this Ice Cube /Dr Dre classic right now, whilst nervously laughing at the top comment on youtube…

I killed a man listening to this song…..

Yikes! ‘I dont wanna die, i dont wanna, i dont wannnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa die-i--i-i’

f**k me, thats amazing!

Noisia = Extremely talented producers. Alexander Lehmann = Noisia fan & ridiculously talented film-maker.
Put them together and what have you got? This amazing short film ‘Exodus’ for the 2007 release from the dutch trio ft (’the mc’) KRS 1. Breathe easy now….Im still a bit flabbergasted by it all, its so insanely good ;)

Its the Oscars countdown!!! MY FAVOURITE AWARDS CEREMONY ever, oh the glitz, the glam, the red carpet to end all red carpets, the fashion disasters, the ridiculous speeches (which this year the producer has threatened to cut extremely, and broadcast backstage via the web, ugh party pooper!). Standard procedure next sunday night will be firing up the Ichat with @thegiftd in NYC, discussing the trans-atlantic syncing issues with the E! channel, making sure im locked onto a working TV stream for the main show (the BBC no longer broadcasting the awards is a travesty and frankly not what i pay my license fee for), loading up the Oscar twitter feed (via E! or Oscar.com) and sitting back fingers poised to bitch my way through the ceremony, PERFECT! Preparation is simple watch all movies up for awards, including the shorts/animations and docs….routing for Rabbit A La Berlin for the latter this year obviously.  I began familiarizing myself last night and watched Nine ( Original Song, Art Direction, Costume, Supporting Actress) & The Messenger which sees Woody Harrelson nominated for Best supporting Actor, no nomination though for my long time obsession and much deserved Ben Foster… (more…)


i’ve been with vincent…

The Gun Powder Treason

…the Gun powder treason and plot, i know of no reason the gun powder treason should ever be forgot. (more…)


Electro Vertigo or Tecktonik?

Im drunk and you tubing randomness, in particular the dancing style known as Electro Vertigo or Tecktonik….as seen in a previous post Yelle’s A Cause Des Garcons…theres so many videos including one with the dude from Amelie and Angel A, Jamel Debbouze.

Tour Diary – Day 7, Bochum

Leon in Second SonIts a beautiful day here in Bochum, we’ve all just arrived at the club  Zeche after a lovely morning buying crap in the small city centre of Bochum, big up to the first Starbucks of the tour, bliss!

Im sat back stage whilst Enter are sound-checking my favourite song Juggernaut, i keep waking up singing this bitch seriously the choon is the shizzle! Has also been first day with the Shikari crew after our riot bonding sesh in Brussels, has been some jokes this afternoon i tell thee.Anyways here goes tour diary day 7, which by the way was another day off here in the bountiful Bochum!

After an amazing day n night in Brussels (where im sure the ankle first began to hurt) we headed on over the border to Bochum, which we all thought was in Poland but is actually in Germany, go figure genius’s! On route we watched Chopper as we finally had the dvd player working, all it took was a little slap and a poke from Timmy two dinners, he the man!

So Bochum….is interesting, our first experience of a Formula One hotel aka swingers town! This hotel was my worst nightmare for real, bunk beds, communal toilets (VD’S) and showers (verruca’s), with red and green lights over head…like that was suppose to be cute, in my first 30 mins in the hotel i seen 4 men roaming the corridor in their undies, very tight white undies and they weren’t even fit!!

On its way this week is the BBC Introducing session from Engine-Earz featuring Foreign Beggars, Shahid Abbas Khan, Nathan “flutebox” Lee and me, Jenna G! If you can’t wait til Tuesday check out this lil preview… (more…)


Ode to Cultronica 2008


Cultronica Festival 2009 from Jenna G on Vimeo.

How long does it take me to make a video nowadays? Cultronica happened way back in December 08, the month where my feet never touched the ground. It was a 2 day festival in a quiet little town called Braganca featuring artists from all over Portugal. I had a mad fun that weekend, even if i was the only female act, it was freezing cold and i didn’t speak any Portuguese, ha ha the 1 euro shots and amazing talent made up for it all! Big massive respect to Luis for the invite, DJ Oder for the dubplates and all the rest of the fellas that looked after me so well, hope you enjoy what i did in this little film :)


Blu Mar Ten – If i could tell you

I dont know why all of a sudden im obsessed by this mans music but i am. Really like his choice of film footage for his youtube videos, brilliant break from the norm of dnb track visuals. This song for the day in particular is haunting me at the moment, im tryin to place the vocal sample ‘I will not ever try to hurt you‘, where the hell is that from its so familiar and such a beautiful melody. Im daydreaming to this one, hope you do to…


Channel Two ft N’fa – Universal King

I know i know, i’ve posted this before and not to long ago but me nah care! I thinks its a perfect song for the day seeing as the infamous himself woke me up this morning (11.54 technically it was morning, yes the first time this week!) and forced me to… (more…)


The gayest Oscars?

That’s what their saying and while i think its silly to suggest the politically incorrect theme ran through out the whole event, looking back i can’t help but agree. Jay’s Glamostrator, Mickeys RIP Lowki trinket, the peer on peer loving in nominations, Harry’s insanely high pitched interviewing technique and all the points raised when reading Gawker today! Their Top 10 is spot on with my own personal highlights of the event except the order and one little faux pas, they missed out the dude that came on after the Ledger Family tear-jerker of an acceptance speech. I cant find it anywhere online yet so i actually might have been the only one who laughed out of shock and cringed at the audacity of his terrible sense of humor!

‘Wow, the whole place is in tears and im up next!’

LMFAO, so inappropriate but 10 points for effort Mr. I also most definately would have put Pineapple Express ripping The Reader nearer the top the whole skit was genius!!


A Thousand Words


A Thousand Words from Ted Chung on Vimeo.

One of the popular choices last week on Vimeo, this short film by Ted Chung got me all choked up with its totally romantic storyline. Shot beautifully in black & white with no dialogue this picture (apart from making me miss my digital camera, hurry up fixer man!!) definately speaks a Thousand Words.


Making the video!


Making the video – The Qemists On The Run ft Jenna G from Jenna G on Vimeo.

OK so im probably doing this the wrong way round but im not bothered… Friday saw the final version of the ‘On the run’ video hit the internet… Heres what went on behind the scenes on the day….ok not everything cause im protecting the innocent but still its a fun lil snapshot of our Monday at the transgender safehouse known as The Little Marlborough!!
