After months of shuffling through hundreds..no thousands of short films The Portobello Film Festival is to show our blossoming film ‘Something for the Lamppost’. So if you are free on Tuesday 8th September at 6.15pm come on down to the Westbourne Studios, 242 Acklam Road, London, W10 5JJ. See you there.
To advertise Black Swamp Films latest short film, ‘Something for the lamppost’, Black produced a swamp website were random items could emerge from the swamp reflecting the unpredicatable output springing from the dark minds behind Black Swamp Films..’as they bob precariously on the surface’
At any point within the site, the reassuring but slightly eerie doll’s house will return you back to the homepage and the safety
of the bank.
Clicking on a bobbing film ticket stub, emerges a projector screen from the swamp, to show a trailer of the new film.
Every month my lovely friend Lydia aka Madamme Frou frou, DJs at the Boogaloo bar in Highgate. Not only is she a great DJ but a great publist too. To advertise the events Nick Allen comps Lydia into well known album covers, resulting in some gold album results. Check out Michael Jackson!
Having grown a beard and been given a radio show to air ‘strange and ethereal’ music on MOJO radio, Creative director of Q, Kerrang and Mojo awards, Dave Henderson, decided that the show should be called ‘The Church Of Dave’. Through the show Dave discovered lots of obscure back proch ballads, beatnik jazz, weird folkies and general eccentric behaviour.
From the show a record label as equally spiritual about sounds had to follow. BLACK heard the prayer..Hence the name, hence the logo, hence the string of rather well received album releases. Has the world finally got religion? Who knows…
For the release of Goldie Hill and rockin Merle Travis the fingerpickin king, BLACK created a sleeve for the cd release that had to express that 1956 ol time counrty feel.

Anyone here a Dexter fan? Will he be caught?
For anyone who hasn’t seen the show, Dexter is a serial killer who happens to work for the law forensic bureau that convicts serial killers.
This show is brilliant. The title sequence just as brilliant. A normal boring morning routine is made to feel dangerous and just a little bit twisted, by using images of shave cuts to slicing up thick peices of gammon to agressively tying boot laces. For more takes of film titles there is a very nice site you could visit.

The greatest defender in the world, Paolo Maldini of AC Milan explains some of his defending secrets at the AC Milan training ground.
