bottle rocket: reviews: Stanley Brinks and The Wave Pictures, Bill Pritchard, Appletop
http://bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com/2014/03/reviews-stanley-brinks-and-wave.html
Friday, 14 March 2014. Reviews: Stanley Brinks and The Wave Pictures, Bill Pritchard, Appletop. Stanley Brinks and the Wave Pictures (* *). Named after the drink that fuelled its recording, Stanley Brinks’ third collaboration with The Wave Pictures is a somewhat untidy collection that in its best stretches offers up raw bursts of inspiration, but with the odd off-moment elsewhere to suggest time at the bar might have been better spent at the drawing board. Bill Pritchard - A Trip to the Coast (* *).

bottle rocket: GFF2014: Festival Diary #2
http://bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com/2014/03/gff-diary-2.html
Saturday, 1 March 2014. GFF2014: Festival Diary #2. Stay indoors all day and watch films! That’s GFF co-director Allan Hunter there, using his introduction to Bertrand Tavernier’s Quai D’Orsay. The binge began with Chilean drama Things the Way They Are. Next is the aforementioned Quai D’Orsay. It’s followed by something of a novelty: an event at which the Q&A is twice the length of the work it accompanies. The legend of Black Angel. Without taking anything away from the film’s many qualities I̵...

bottle rocket: GFT programme note: Teenage
http://bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com/2014/03/gft-programme-note-teenage.html
Thursday, 6 March 2014. GFT programme note: Teenage. 8216;- What are you rebelling against? What have you got? Dir: Laslo Benedek, 1953). The history of teens onscreen is a history of rock ‘n’ roll and Tuesday Weld; angst, rebellion and teenage kicks; of James Dean’s red jacket, the valley girl cliques of Clueless. So too does the very concept of teenage-ness – strikingly explored in director Matt Wolf’s new documentary. Teenage. 2008), artist and activist David Wojnarowicz ( Smalltown Boys,. Indeed, it ...

bottle rocket: live review: of Montreal / Calvin Love @ The Art School, 18th February
http://bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com/2014/02/live-review-of-montreal-calvin-love-art.html
Wednesday, 26 February 2014. Live review: of Montreal / Calvin Love @ The Art School, 18th February. Midway through his debut Scottish show, synth-toting songsmith Calvin Love. Garner the reaction their animated performance deserves. Concentrating on material from Sunlandic Twins. Onwards, first-half highlights include the dayglo chorus of The Party’s Crashing Us and the hippy strut of Triumph of Disintegration. But the best moments come at the tail-end, with a brace of Hissing Fauna. Cuts for good measu...

bottle rocket: November 2013
http://bottlerocketglasgow.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 6 November 2013. Live review: Parquet Courts / Eagulls @ Mono, 31st October. Despite heavy reverb obscuring much of George Mitchell’s between-song speech, body language and delivery indicate the vocalist is not in the best of moods. It seems the culprit is a snarl-up on the M6, and as Eagulls. By comparison, exhibit a more playful disposition, introducing themselves from behind cardboard emoticon masks. “WOOOooooOOOh! We are a Parquet Courts cover band! Partner Stoned and Starving makes for a ...

Wednesday, 12 March 2014. Reviews: Angel Olsen, Withered Hand, The Birthday Suit. Angel Olsen - Burn Your Fire For No Witness (* * ). The song in question (White Fire) is a fragile solo performance, and thus harks back to Olsen’s delicate debut. Burn Your Fire for No Witness. Withered Hand - New Gods (* * ). With a title that near-anagrams its 2009 precursor. It’s a shift that provokes mixed feelings.

Sunday, 23 February 2014. GFF 2014: 1939 Continued. The star-dusted celluloid constituting this year’s ‘Hooray for Hollywood’ retrospective makes a strong case for 1939 being the most illustrious 12 months in the history of American cinema – and who are we to disagree? Well, you could do a darn sight worse than this lot…. Only Angels Have Wings. A year after they made effervescent screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby. A hard-edged prohibition tale told with plenty of moxie, The Roaring Twenties. Live review...
