CSI: Avondale   no comments

Posted at 10:35 am in Planet Florida

A crack team of forensic investigators and criminal profilers from RAP has been reassigned from their duties enforcing the strict no-double-glazing laws (“not authentic”) and hunting down ne’er-do-wells who think adding guttering to their houses might help with wood-rot (“the fools!”). The new assignment is to investigate a crime scene of such unbelievable depravity, it makes you question your faith in Jesus:

Remember that Curb your Enthusiasm episode in which Larry David inadvertently misspells “aunt” in his wife’s aunt’s obituary? With Banksy-fever sweeping Jacksonville, there’s an opportunity here for a graffittoid…..

Seriously, though, stop stealing the flowers. I don’t care how fancy lookin’ they make your crack den.

Urban Jacksonville Weekly: Exit through the Gift Shop   no comments

Posted at 4:42 pm in Best things about Jacksonville

We are verging a little into hipster territory here (which I hate), but I thought it would be nice to plug Urban Jacksonville Weekly LIVE! which begins at the 5 Points Theatre (note spelling) in a mere hour or so. For the 88% of rivercityvibe readers who do not live in the River City (13th biggest city in the US. you heard it here first…..) Urban Jacksonville Weekly is a BRILLIANT podcast full of funny chat and interesting info (they once plugged us). It’s hosted by three hip young gunslingers who I will call The Beard, The Suit and The Oddpants. These sobriquets are expressions of love my dears….

Anyway, the original plan for the LIVE! Podcast involved showcasing the extended trailer from the new film by graffiti-sensation Banksy, the public-minded vandal who has made millions from his ‘street art’. Here’s a version of the trailer for Exit through the Gift Shop:

I respect Banksy, but I can take him or leave him. My interest in this movie is primarily in its soundtrack. The song at the beginning of the trailer is Tonight the Streets are Ours by the double-plus legend Richard Hawley.

He was only in Pulp. That’s all.

No big whoop.
