Que Adam Green é o amor da minha vida e que  meu sonho é ser sua bff um dos amores dessa minha humilde vida, não é novidadji pra ninguém.

Fiquei numa bela deprê depois de vê-lo, tocá-lo e assistir na 1ª fila sua bela performance. E ainda mais depois de ver as fotos mongolóides, como deveria de ser, de meu querido Adam pelas ruas do meu Rio de Janeiro e nos lugares que eu frequento bem no dia que eu não estava lá, como sempre. MAS ENFIM, esse nãão é o caso. O caso é que eu fiquei wondering QUANDO que Adam faria a loucura de voltar ao Brasil né? Porque aqui posso contar nos dedos quem sabe quem é e quem curte a figura. Porém, como muitos sabem outros nem tanto, eu vou passar 1 ano da minha vida em Netherlands no ano que vem. Chego lá mais precisamente no dia 1° de fevereiro. Agora se eu contar que AG vai tocar dia 10 e 11 de fevereiro em Amsterdam, VOCES ACREDITAM?

É o destino, só isso que eu tenho pra dizer.

Adam, me aguarde. Abs.

Hatchet è un film di Adam Green del 2006.

This last Thursday, the Cinefamily ended their awesome slasher series with a SLASHERPALOOZA of three of the most gonzo slashers they could find. I attended, along with a huge posse of movie maniacs, who were all in the mood for an evening of blood and guts! The show began with a screening of ADAM GREEN’S incredibly entertaining homage to old school horror, HATCHET (2007). In attendance was the director himself, ADAM GREEN, who introduced the movie to the excited crowd.

But before the feature, we were treated to two of the video shorts that he makes in his spare time with other horror filmmaker friends. First was JACK CHOP, an infomercial spoof that he made with GRACE director, PAUL SOLET. It involves a high energy cable TV pitchman, who repeatedly injures himself violently with his product, the Jack Chop. It was pretty FAKIN’ hilarious!

The second short was THE TIFFANY PROBLEM and featured HATCHET star JOEL DAVID MOORE as a thirty year old husband obsessed with trick or treating on Halloween. It also featured JOEL (Bill’s brother) MURRAY from HATCHET. Very twisted, funny stuff.

It is clearly evident in these two shorts and his first feature, that ADAM GREEN has a great sense of humor and really knows how to craft a good gore-comedy.

Adam Green intros HATCHET.

I saw HATCHET back in ‘07 at the first midnight screening at the Arclight Hollywood, which was also introduced by ADAM GREEN. It’s about a group of New Orleans tourists that go on a haunted swamp tour, where they are stalked by a local legend named Victor Crowley, played by KANE (JASON) HODDER. Victor Crowley is a deformed mutant of a man who likes to bury a hatchet in the skull of anyone trespassing in his swamp.

HATCHET is filled with copious amounts of nudity, blood and gore. The kills are totally over the top, with jets of blood pumping everywhere. Heads are twisted off, bodies torn in two with the guts hanging out, faces ripped apart with power tools and limbs hacked off with sharp implements!

Wow, that's really fucked up!

JOLEIGH FIOREAVANTI has her beautiful face mutilated with a belt sander.

Victor Crowley even killed the director, ADAM GREEN!

It also has a great sense of humor that doesn’t take itself seriously at all. The film is very much a love letter to the kind of slasher flicks I grew up with as a kid. I can see lots of FRIDAY THE 13TH, THE BURNING, MADMAN and JUST BEFORE DAWN influences in HATCHET. It’s major fun to watch this movie with an enthusiastic audience of horror fans.

After the film there was a Q and A with ADAM GREEN and two of the lovely ladies of HATCHET, TAMARA FELDMAN (Mary Beth) and JOLEIGH FIOREAVANTI (Jenna). It was moderated by MARCUS DUNSTAN, who is one half of the writing team responsible for FEAST I, II, and III and SAW IV, V, and VI. He also cowrote and directed the overlooked and really awesome, THE COLLECTOR from this year.

My two new girlfriends, Tamara and Joleigh!

ADAM GREEN talked about how he made HATCHET by “borrowing” the equipment from his day job of shooting local infomercials and filming most of it at night. They didn’t have enough equipment to do any backlighting and that’s why the characters only run a few feet away from the monster and then stop to get their bearings. I actually thought that was a conscious choice, because it works at giving that old school low budget feel, as well as being very funny.

He also discussed how he is currently working on HATCHET 2 for next year! He said it’s being made for the fans who really loved the first one, like me. If all goes well, it’s going to pick up where the last one ended and he promises that it will be even gorier than previously before, as long as those MPAA pussies don’t fuck with it too much. I’m looking forward to seeing more killings from Victor Crowley in the future!

On most nights this would have been plenty for even the most jaded horror fans, but the evening was just getting started, for many had turned out to see one of the greatest killer baboon movies ever made, SHAKMA! Watch this trailer and maybe you’ll understand a little, why this film is so awesome…

SHAKMA (1990) tells the story of a group of med students that lock themselves inside their school one night, so they can play an elaborate D&D type game with their professor, the game master (pronounced gay master and played in an extremely affected manner by RODDY McDOWALL). Unfortunately Shakma, one of the highly aggressive baboons that are used for experiments, accidently gets shot up with a drug that makes him completely psychotic and he’s loose in the building! Just like a slasher, SHAKMA picks them off one by one.

SHAKMA!!!

The film stars two time recipient of the National Association of Theatre Owner’s Star of the Year Award, CHRISTOPHER (BLUE LAGOON, A NIGHT IN HEAVEN) ATKINS, AMANDA (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) WYSS, ARI (KATE AND ALI) MEYERS and … SHAKMA!!!

Shakma was actually played in real life by TYPHOON the baboon, who is the REAL STAR of this film. It is one of the most pissed off simians I’ve ever seen and there is a lot of footage of him running, jumping and smashing himself against doors, trying to get at his victims.

One of the tricks the animal wranglers used to make TYPHOON go nuts, was by taking a female baboon in heat and teasing the horny star with her, off camera. TYPHOON would go after the female like a crazed tornado and that’s what they filmed. If you look closely, you can see that Shakma’s sporting wood in a few shots.

I saw SHAKMA once before, over a year ago at The Cinefamily, and it was probably one of my favorite experiences of seeing a movie with an audience, ever. The crowd reaction made it a true cult experience and the film is just sooooo much fun to watch. You could make a drinking game out of how many times it sounds like they are referring to RODDY McDOWALL as the gay master, alone.

CHRISTOPHER ATKINS’ way over the top performance is a joy to behold. He really hams it up at the end, when he goes mano a baboono with SHAKMA in a fight to the death!

It would be very difficult to top these first two films, but somehow the Cinefamily did with this…

“This film will rip your dick off.” – Hadrian Belove, head programmer of The Cinefamily

NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1980) is a rarely seen film about a killer Bigfoot massacring campers in the woods. It was never given a theatrical release and only exists as a VHS from 1980.

It tells the tale of Professor Nugent and his students, who embark on a journey to locate Bigfoot, whom is believed to be responsible for countless deaths. They disturb a Black Magic ritual and eventually uncover the truth about Bigfoot, and his mutant offspring, but will they survive to tell anyone?

This movie was ape-shit crazy and contains some of the most fucked up kills I’ve ever seen! It is a true slasher movie with a Sasquatch killer, taking people out in outrageously violent manners. One guy even gets his dick ripped off by the nasty beast! Just check out what he does to these two poor girl scouts….

And yes, there is also a scene where a woman is attacked and raped by Bigfoot! Later, she gives birth to a mutant baby Bigfoot and the scene is an amazing combination of goofy and totally fucked up. My brain is still spinning from it.

We were all a little stunned and exhausted by what we had just witnessed, as we made our way out of the theatre at 2:30 A.M. SLASHERPALOOZA was amazing fun and a great way to end a fantastic series! SHAKMA!!!

So, The Idolator have decided that The Moldy Peaches‘ ‘Who’s Got the Crack?‘ is the 48th worst song of the decade. Sandwiched between LL Cool J’s collaboration with J Lo at 49 and Akon’s ‘Sorry Blame it on Me’ what this basicall prooves is that anyone can make a list, and they’re a pretty good way to generate interaction. I mean, I took this from Kicking_k’s Twitter feed, posted it here and then Tweeted it myself…so everyone’s a winner, right?

In their defence the Moldy Peaches recorded some of the most brilliantly bratty, shit-nosed songs of the early 00s. People will argue that Jeffrey Lewis is probably the true ‘genius’ of anti-folk, and rightly so, but Adam Green and Kimya Dawson combined the pure with the puerile to create the dumb-as-fuck brilliance of the self-titled debut album (the self-releases don’t count, or at least right here they don’t).

The problem with the Moldy Peaches isn’t that they were shit, it’s that they were hijacked…by the hipsters, by the movie industry…anyone you want to wave the finger at just stick ‘em *here*. Bands like the Moldy Peaches are meant to be low-key, hell – they were supposed to be fun! To take ‘Who’s Got the Crack?’ and write about what a bad record it is, is to fall for it. It’s barely situationism but there ands like the Moldy Peaches did, and still do, challenge the notions of good music, there is no good or bad…it’s just relative. Well, except for Muse…they’re just hideous.

If you’re still not convinced then check out ‘Nothing Came Out‘, covered in tape hiss and featuring possibly the most endearing lack of self confidence you will hear…for the next hour or so at least and, if that still doesn’t tickle your fancy then maybe this will.

Just don’t play that out loud at work…

ADAM GREEN, writer and director of HATCHET, and his crew at ARIESCOPE PICTURES have released their 2009 Halloween short JACK CHOP! It stars GRACE director PAUL SOLET and is absolutely hilarious, check it out

Hatchet and Frozen helmer Adam Green continues his annual Halloween short film s treak with Jack Chop!, a hilarious spoof on the “Slap Chop” informercial, that’s going to put a big ol’ goofy grin on your face (especially those of you, like me, who grew up on the East Coast).

For this entry, Green called in Paul Solet, the director of Grace, as the unlucky “Jack Chop” host. Good stuff! Oh, I should add this is not safe for work (due to language, but f**k it – watch it anyway!).

More of Green’s Halloween shorts can be found at Ariescope.com.

Ya todos queremos regalar canciones por internet. Adam Green también.

Cualquier mortal puede ir a su sitio oficial para descargar el nuevo tema titulado “What Makes Him Act So Bad”. La canción forma parte del nuevo disco que saldrá a la venta el 11 de enero del año que viene, mismo que llevará por nombre Minor Love . En este podremos escuchar a diferentes colaboradores, entre ellos el propio hermano de Green, Joel.

Adam Green on ühe uue loo tasuta allalaadimiseks oma kodulehele pannud – What makes him act so bad.

Ja kui keegi juhtumisi homme Londonis on, jumala eest, minge!

Adam on vana tegija, aga kui keegi tutvustust vajab, wiki aitab. Anti-folk, indie rokk oleks haledad märksõnad, aga nati aimu annavad. Ta on/oli saksakeelsetes riikides täitsa popp. Ilmselt selle tõttu, et sakslased ei saanud ta laulusõnadest aru. Ta on omamoodi fenomen. Pigem meelelahutaja kui lihtsalt muusik. Anti-poppmuusik omamoodi.

Gênero: Indie/Folk

Não da pra falar muito do cd agora pois estou numa pequena correria, mas vale muito a pena baixar esse album do Adam Green, doses exatas de humor com boa música. Fui.

We’ve had the love and privilege of watching super snapper Guy Eppel really grow as a photographer and all round ace dude.

His work is gorgeous and keeps on getting better. He is currently taking snaps with Adam Green and The Cribs. His album covers are la lush! You want him for yours? Then get in touch with him. It’s that easy.

Nach jedem Hype kommt die Übersättigung. Diesem Naturgesetz folgte auch die Karriere Adam Greens. Mit seinem Album “Gemstones” war er 2004 auf allen medialen Kanälen, von der BRAVO bis zur Brigitte, präsent, und, uuups, die nächsten beiden Alben, obwohl qualitativ besser als der Vorgänger, floppten. Und nur die wenigsten haben bis heute sein bestes Werk, das mit Kimya Dawson als Moldy Peaches eingespielte gleichnamige Album, registriert.

Zwei Jahre nach seinem letzten Album versucht der New Yorker es nun noch einmal. Im Januar erscheint sein sechster Solo-Longplayer “Minor love”, über den es auf seiner Homepage heißt: “Das Album offenbart eine zarte Seite des oftmals arroganten und emotional unzugänglichen Sängers. Als Folge seiner unheilbaren Sozialphobie, versuchte Green in einem Zustand der absoluten Isolation fast alle Instrumente auf dem Album selbst einzuspielen.” Als Vorgeschmack verschenkt Green schon mal einen neuen Song:

Download: Adam Green – What makes him act so bad

Adam Green ist total durchgeknallt und das ist auch gut so. Jetzt schenkt uns nämlich der Musiker einen Song aus seinen neuen Album “Minor Love”. Das Album wird bei uns erst ab Januar 2010 zu kaufen sein.
Hier könnt ihr in “What makes him act so bad” reinhören.

Today is a special edition of Secondhand Sunday that is close to our hearts. The Moldy Peaches ‘Lucky Number Nine.’ I remember the first time I saw the band performing on a local NY show called The Daily Beat. From what I recall, they performed this song and ‘Hulkamaniac’ while wearing rabbit hats and/or footed pajamas and/or capes. Learning the band actually was from the town over and that Kimya Dawson worked at my favorite record store and my mom worked for Adam Green’s dad, my friends and I were blown away. They are hometown heroes if you will. Both have went on to very successful solo careers and a lot of attention from Juno, but sometimes we wish ‘Lucky Number Nine’ would waltz it’s way back onto the stage. Footed pajamas and all.

Watch The Moldy Peaches’ ‘Lucky Number Nine’…..(hooray!)

egal, wie das morgen ausgeht, hier eine weitere sterbeberechtigung für alle sentimentalen gemüter und ein gute-nacht song vor der wahl … go to sleep, du wunderschön grimmig blickendes kind. oder ist das nur angst?

The last post just reminded me about that.

AZNs and Jews go together like peanut butter and jelly.  Actually, I hate PB&J, but you know what I mean.

more Adam after the jump.

Basically, these are just the first 9 pics that come up in a GIS of “Adam Green”.  He’s really so great that you don’t have to filter for good pics.  Besides the incredible hair, beautiful Jewy features, and crazy awesome musik skillz, Adam is full of all sorts of definitive wisdoms.  “How many drugs does it take to find something to do?  Everybody it takes two.”  “There’s no wrong way to fuck a girl with no legs.  Just tell her you love her as you’re walking away.”  “I like to do drugs. I like to have drugs. I like to hold a cigarette full of grass in my hand. Until one morning.  That ugly morning. When the brat got stabbed and the cat got drugged.”  Okay, maybe not that last one.  But the other ones, totally.

Let’s both get on that rocket to the stars.
