Spanish
red wine. Second glass. I was meant to write yesterday, but...
I
always wanted to watch Lynne Ramsay’s
We Need To Talk About Kevin... I
hired it a few days ago from my local Dalston library. Of course for Tilda Swinton – what’s not to like
about her, Derek Jarman’s muse, and Jim Jarmusch’s too and
so many others... Most importantly for Lynne Ramsay! 1999. Ratcatcher. I’m blown. That line – by heart or memory – “Your mother
only wears knickers to warm
her ankles up”. 2002. Morvern Callar with Samantha Morton... Morton in 1997 in the so
intense Carine Adler’s Under The Skin...
soon after Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting... all blowing my cells... Ramsay does human study on
conditions humaines with a scalpel! Thick and screaming like Francis Bacon, angular and atrophied like Egon Schiele... sharp
thumbs and end finished like Alberto
Giacometti.
I’m
just trying to escape from what I want / need to write. I’m gazing, almost. A
few minutes into We Need To
Talk About Kevin and it’s
already so perfect... tension wise, storytelling wise: there is Spanish tomato,
blood, red paint! Ezra Miller seems the right choice for his saturnian
role...
Seagulls
are like vultures today above the Lee
River... from my rainy window! Are
there seagulls in Paris? It never fails, each time there is rain on my window I
think of Chris Rea’s Josephine. How many
times, as late teenagers, mini adults did we drive in an Alpha Romeo or on a
motorbike by Claude Monet Museum listening to him loudly? Countless time. Him, the Giverny
lover, but that 10km road somewhere in Normandy was also great for Chris Issak’s second album as well as a Roxy Music compilation,
but yeah I am drifting away...
Yesterday, he wrote and “asked” “En compagnie de Lamb, le retour minimal et funky de Missy Elliott, avec un
clip chelou : revival ou ringardos ?” (In Lamb’s company, Missy Elliott’s minimal
and funky return, with a weird video: revival or old fashion?).
He
says Louise (Lou) Rhodes started as a
photographer for Les Inrockuptibles. Lou, half
of Lamb but not the Lamb of Missy Elliott. It’s all confusing, but that’s what
he's good at: confusing people, playing mind games!
Is
he talking about that woman who came one day with a portfolio? I remember her
because no women had come before to be a photographer for Les Inrocks (not when
I worked for them anyway). She spoke only English and had a deep décolleté. I think she was young and her
face was singular, particular, pretty in a different way. I got her to wait in
the “waiting room” and dared ask to see her photos. She was very willing. All I
remember are her B&W pictures of men on walls (I had been an Au-Pair the
year before and got “traumatised” by Humpty Dumpty).
Then, the whole editorial team came in and I left. When she left, Emmanuel Tellier said her pics were not
that great but she had beautiful small breasts... the team, the lads laughed.
It must have been summer or spring because I remember light clothing around.
issue 31
focus on above
issue 32
This
morning, I looked in the summer issue nº 30 with Leonard Cohen, she is not in there but her name features once in nº
31 (Jean-Louis Murat – Sept-Oct
1991) and once again in nº 32 (Leos
Carax – Nov-Dec 1991). Twice in “popus” written by... Emmanuel Tellier (the very one who
sexually harassed me while working for the magazine)!
Nº
34 (Ian McCulloch's cover), Louise
Rhodes is cited as a photographer... interviews of bands from Manchester,
Liverpool (Ian McC, James etc.), not a single picture of
her! A ghost female photographer... like other female writers credited but not
featured (Odile Horion or Anne Ducrocq)... Nº 40: credited but no
photos of her!
So,
the ugly, dirty and bad wants to prove that Les Inrocks were not sexists,
misogynists and sexual harassers? Fine... But why does he spend his energy
proving anything if I’m all wrong and inventing stories... blocking me on
Twitter/FB, preventing me from working in the media?
Thing
is... I never said anything about it prior to 2015. If they were those so
called feminists, as they pretend to be, they would know that psychologically,
we, women, don’t talk, don’t know how to react, don’t act, don’t realise what’s
happening to us... until... so...
In
prevention, they act/react in fright! They discredit us...
...
Last year, I met 22 years old Anna B.M
(ex la Cinémathèque worker). The
number of things she says I recorded, the number of things she does... approved
by Les Inrocks (JB Morain, Christophe Conte, Pierre Siankowski, Davis Doucet, Jean Jacky Goldberg, Bruno Deruisseau, etc)... on Commercial Street, she goes “You should
do something else” (did I really ask for an advice from a 22 y.o?); when
challenged on email about that “subliminal” sentence, she goes “You are blacklisted in the media”... when
challenged about what she means exactly... she goes silent! Anna needs love,
work and money! Don’t rely on her to make a revolution... she is as capitalist
as Les Inrocks... using people as she goes along, just like Les Inrocks can’t
care less about Sadiq Khan
Anna B.M wearing some revolutionary outfit!
Pierre Siankowski of Les Inrocks
Vincent Arquillere ex Les Inrocks
Alexis Hache of Les Inrocks
Gael Martin, friend of...
So,
that French music “critic” that
lives in Brighton (the one with a
mission that keeps reading my blog but denies it)... what’s his excuse to mention Gavin
Grindon on “Kept
Left” paragraph – Aug 2015 (Grindon
is no specialist on homelessness...) when I mentioned Grindon twice before in July 2014 and December 2014! Banksy
had many artists’ guests... why not mention them all?
What’s
his excuse when I mention Le Tour de France in a Shoegazing
piece on Les Inrocks Festival in
Perfide Albion (July 2014) and then he goes... via Laure Narlian by “complete chance” Le Tour de France in Nov 2014... on Les Inrocks Festival in la Perfide Albion!
What’s
his real excuse when I’m the one talking about the band
Algiers in 2013,
and then he goes wild about them a year later... emailing me that their record
company told him about them, but then again he
thinks they are English... when they are not! Emailing me he has no memory (of me
working for Les Inrocks) in general and he also suffers from prosopagnosia
(strangely enough I suffer from it too) and yet he remembers Algiers’ manager from... 30 years ago... Algiers,
a band he discovered by chance on their website!
"I know a well known female lifestyle blogger
In reality, she has a shitty life, lives with her
parents in some ugly place"
And more gossips, misinformation...
Saying Hungary is hiring hunters
on their border against immigrants...
When in fact they were hiring men to
support police and officers
on their border against immigrants...
When in fact they were hiring men to
support police and officers
To finish on him or his mates, we, women are treated like shite in Les Inrocks... and they often use their female journalists to convey their hatred... Recently with Caroline Fourest ; a few weeks ago, a female journalist titled "Valerie Trierweiler has done it again" and I responded to it (see October 2016 section, 4th paragraph)
A
bottle of wine later... am back on We Need To Talk About Kevin... surely a
better subject matter than a gossiper!
1 Feb: another fake
news from that journalist... the one who, at around 53,
gets angry at
an unknown 20 years of age... or start an
interview insulting a musician...
...
and his friend / colleague being upset for
a Quotidien male journalist and offering justice...
