Loose Tapestries Presents The Luxury Comedy Tapes

Loose Tapestries Artwork
    After the success of his new sitcom show (luxury comedy), Noel Fielding alongside bass player and lyrical writer of Kasabian, Serge Pizzorno have teamed up to create their own band project. Known and the 'Loose Tapestries' the band so far have been shown as a medieval throw back with the modern twists of technology. Whether this side project will create their own music that doesn't feature in Luxury Comedy in unknown as of now. But on that note the music that is used in Fielding's show is very odd ball.
    Using old synthesizers the create futuristic tones, with Fielding's voice manipulated both high and low reading out obscure lyrics it is something to get your head around. Snippets of certain characters scenes are also included among the variety of songs, some of these characters are Secret Pete, Fantasy Man, Ghost of a Flea and many others. 

    In a vary of interviews regarding the newly formed band, both men have discussed doing a tour in the near future suggesting them to be hosted in castles across the UK (which we take lightly). Prior to this Fielding was involved in another side band supporting his other show The Mighty Boosh, all of the main characters that featured in this BBC Three hit are now a part of the Luxury Comedy family, except Fielding's on screen partner Julian Barratt. Over some queries fans have brought up regarding the absence of his partner, Fielding has explained the outlandishness and complexity of the show is something that doesn't appeal to Barratt.
    But don't sit there in doubt, another reason for the choice of not including Barratt is to not tarnish what The Mighty Boosh created with its fans and the on screen relationship that grew between both of them.

    This wonderful album includes 22 songs which are all under 3 minutes below, with only two sliding over this barrier by 12 seconds. All the songs have had featured specially in individual episodes being able to bring another leap and spring into the already outrageous series. This by far is an enjoyable album for those who are a fan of Fielding's work and hopefully they will drop us another album as soon as possible.

The Woman In Black

    This weekend I went watching 'The Woman In Black' with a friend and her family, from friends who have watched the film I had very high expectations for this film even though its certificate was only a 12A. I am very partial to watching frightening films and so was my friend, and doesn't this film stand to the mark.
    The beginning 20 minutes go into a lot of detail regarding the main character Arthur (played by Daniel Radcliffe) and his life with his 4 year old son. He then goes on to visit an abandoned house which is the main location throughout the film alongside a little village.
    There are a lot of suspended scenes based around the house location, it does not disappoint in that factor. If one thing appears or shocks you this would be continued for a good 5 minutes, leaving you hiding behind your hands just hoping for it to be over with. The story line is very strong and the ending is quite good.
    Originally 'The Woman In Black' was performed on the theater around 15 years ago, seeing both versions compared to the effects that are available now the theater version does not live up to the cinema remotely.
    I would highly recommend going watching this before it goes on DVD, it is a good watch that can make you jump out of your skin every 10 minutes.

HOM Shirt


    I purchased this shirt a few weeks ago off Ebay, the maker is HOM. Now I've been looking into the designer to hopefully find a website, so I can purchase more of the clothing but sadly it must of gone out of business.  The only things I can find however are some very weird men's underwear, which for obvious reasons isn't to my taste. The shirt is black and white with polka dots and striped sections and is made out of cotton, the collar is quite flimsy but still quite sturdy to hide the chain of necklaces. 


    The shirt itself is quite thin with very baggy sleeves, leaving it to not have a determined season to wear this. Layered up with a blazer or left on its own this is a versatile and a very statement piece. I plan on wearing this throughout summer, tucked into shorts, left to hang over leggings or tied to show some mid-drift. If you can pick up an item by HOM I recommend it dearly, for good quality vintage clothing this brand is the way forward!
