LEVI’S® 501® INTERPRETATION: GRANT PAYNE

  Hello, mynameisgrant. I am a 25-year-old South African-based photographer/creator. Born and bred in the 031, I call Durban home but now make my bed in Cape Town. My roots in photography lie deep in the streets. Black and white, shape and shadows… I am one of those shoot-first-ask-later kinda’ guys. I don’t often look...

‘LET’S ROCK THIS PARTY LIKE IT’S 1955′

A lot of us will know Them Tornados. They’ve had many of us swing our body parts about at the one or other Cape Town show. Sadly, their sound — rockabilly — has always appeared to be a rather isolated venture in this city. With more and more bands that loosely fall into the psychobilly/rockabilly...

| INTERVIEW | TH’ DAMNED CROWS: No Ego, All Billy

Th’ Damned Crows are made up of Liam McDevitt (vocals, double bass), Sven Duncker (guitar), Ronnie Belcher (drums) and Zoltan Tibor Szabo-Taylor (harmonica).

Encounter with Grandmaster Flash

Encounter with Grandmaster Flash

Born Joseph Saddler in 1958, Grandmaster Flash is now almost 60 years old. Gracing South African soil this October, we were able to gain some insight into the science behind the man himself and how this living legend came to find his way into music history, overcoming every negative voice who told him he would...

THE STALKED

THE STALKED

Stalking has become easy in an age of social media. In fact, most of us are quite content to release private information into the whacky world of the www. Christine Hogg spoke to Alice Toich, who examined this phenomenon by painting portraits of Facebook users who she ‘stalked’. “None is so famous than the example...

FlashBack | Withdrawal & Emergence The Photography Of Cara Gillougley | Issue14

FlashBack | Withdrawal & Emergence The Photography Of Cara Gillougley | Issue14

Having attended my fair share of student photography exhibitions, I can note with some degree of certainty that work on the level of technical and thematic maturity evidenced in Cara Gillougley’s Withdrawal & Emergence is rare. This exquisite collection of nudes suspended in paradoxical states of bondage and freedom is playful and somber in equal...

Almost Famous - 'Tiny Dancer' - Elton John

William Miller: I have to go home.
Penny Lane: You are home.






Reservoir Dogs - 'Stuck in the Middle with You' - Stealers Wheel

Mr. Blonde: Listen kid, I'm not gonna bullshit you, all right? I don't give a good fuck what you know, or don't know, but I'm gonna torture you anyway, regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing, to me, to torture a cop. You can say anything you want cause I've heard it all before. All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you ain't gonna get.
[He removes his razor]
Mr. Blonde: You ever listen to K-Billy's 'Super Sounds of the Seventies' weekend? It's my personal favorite.






Romeo + Juliet - 'Kissing You' - Des'ree








The Graduate - 'Mrs.Robinson' - Simon and Garfunkel

Mr. Braddock: Ben, what are you doing?
Benjamin: Well, I would say that I'm just drifting. Here in the pool.
Mr. Braddock: Why?
Benjamin: Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.
Mr. Braddock: Have you thought about graduate school?
Benjamin: No.
Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Benjamin: You got me.






Four Rooms - 'Vertigogo' - Combustible Edison








Desperado - 'El Mariachi' - Los Lobos

El Mariachi: You know, it's easier to pull the trigger than play guitar. Easier to destroy than to create.






Trainspotting - 'Perfect Day' - Lou Reed

Mark 'Rent-boy' Renton: I don't feel the sickness yet, but it's in the post. That's for sure. I'm in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I've ever known will soon take hold of me. It's on its way.






Donnie Darko - 'Killing Moon' - Echo & the Bunnymen

Donnie: [matter-of-factly] First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario -- It just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?






Mullholland Drive - 'Llorando' - Rebekah del Rio

Bondar: No hay banda! There is no band! Il n'est pas de orquestra! This is all... a tape-recording. No hay banda! And yet we hear a band. If we want to hear a clarinette... listen.
Bondar: [the sounds responding to his every hand motion] Un trombon 'à coulisse'. Un trombon 'con sordina'. Sient le son du trombon in sourdine. Hear le son... and mute it... drop it. It's all recorded. No hay banda! It's all a tape. Il n'est pas de orquestra. It is... an illusion!






Pulp Fiction - 'Flowers on the Wall' - The Statler Brothers

Fabienne: Whose motorcycle is this?
Butch: It's a chopper, baby.
Fabienne: Whose chopper is this?
Butch: Zed's.
Fabienne: Who's Zed?
Butch: Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.






Stand by Me - 'Stand by Me' - Ben E. King

Gordie: Alright, alright, Mickey's a mouse, Donald's a duck, Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?
Vern: If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy-Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.
Teddy: Goofy's a dog. He's definitely a dog.
Gordie: I knew the $64,000 question was fixed. There's no way anybody could know that much about opera!
Chris: He can't be a dog. He drives a car and wears a hat.
Gordie: Wagon Train's a really cool show, but did you notice they never get anywhere? They just keep wagon training.
Vern: Oh, God. That's weird. What the hell is Goofy?






Dazed and Confused - 'School’s Out' - Alice Cooper

Mrs. Kramer, Mitch's Mother: Have you been drinking?
Mitch: No
[falls on bed and can't even take off both boots]
Mrs. Kramer, Mitch's Mother: Are you drunk?
Mitch: [clearly drunk] Psshh
