Something Weird Video
While low budget films flourish in other countries, us ‘civilised' white folks hardly ever make cheap, fun, ‘bad' movies anymore. Which SUCKS.
Something Weird Video specialise in boldly bizarre and bad movies; go-go girls, nudist camps, hippie drug casualties, low-budget sci-fi, gore, juvenile delinquents.
The Besnard Lakes, Are The Roaring Night
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to tell you about music via a flashing computer screen.

Stroke: Songs for Chris Knox
The history of punk and DIY music is super inspiring, and songwriting is fucking tough.
These are just two reasons why Chris Knox is revered not only in his native New Zealand, but worldwide. In 1979 he formed Tall Dwarfs with Alec Bathgate, helping to pioneer a lo-fi, DIY aesthetic that combined punk's simplicity and disdain for musical virtuosity with home-recording experiments, cryptic lyrics, introspection, and the ultimate rebellion in counter-culture circles - admitting to love pop songs and hooks.
Ordinary Magazine
What David Lynch showed us with Blue Velvet was how beneath the ordinary, everyday life... there's some creepy shit going on. What we try and show each week with ThreeThousand is how beneath the ordinary, everyday life, there's some awesome shit going on.
Ordinary Magazine shows us that there's a fine line between creepy and awesome.
