Reading 2008 review: Holy Fuck
Name: Holy Fuck
Where and when: Dance level, 3.25pm, Reading
Dress code: Well-nurtured beards and crumpled T-shirts.
Who's watching: The die-hard fans push to the front, leaving those curious about the band because of their profane name to nod approvingly from the sidelines.
In a nutshell: Streamlined subservient Krautrock doesn't sound like it has "Reading fete" written all over it. But Ontario's Holy Fuck tick all the correct boxes for those wHO appreciate their experimentalism and pulsating rhythms in rival measures. The set largely comprises of recent albums Holy Fuck and LP, with the tracks Lovely Allen and Super Inuit providing notable highlights. The band want showmanship, either because they're too busy concentrating on the euphony or because they're minus a frontman, but with no lead-in singer Holy Fuck tend to withdraw into themselves onstage and this can leave them looking a little aloof. Add to that the way their music bathroom be either totally riveting or completely impenetrable, and they begin feel like hard work on a sweaty Sunday afternoon.
High point: Seeing the handful of converts world Health Organization have no idea what's going on or what's coming adjacent, but world Health Organization close their eyes, raise their weaponry and go with it anyway. Either that or the mankind who had "I wear anal beads" written on his arm.
Low point in time: Several of the tracks ar extended for the welfare of a live show, which actually contributes to the slightly detached nature of their performance.
How hard do they rock? It's fair to say they let the music do the talking for them and, for three quarters of the crowd, that's pretty strong indeed. For the odd quarter, it flies right over their heads.

Spike Lee Says He'll 'Take The Obama High Road' In Clint Eastwood Spat
Spike Lee tells MTV News that he'll "take the Obama high road" in regards to his back-and-forth with Clint Eastwood.
FRANK ZAPPA
Wazoo (Vaulter Native): C+
Zappa was a genius, but even geniuses make mistakes. Yes, this unearthed double-disc relic, recorded at Boston’s Music Hall (now Citi Wang Theater) in September 1972, offers fantastic sound quality for an archival find. But rather than Zappa’s surreal humor, listeners are fed long, wordless, jazzy pieces, most written while the composer was in a wheelchair recovering from a 1971 assault. Once past the delightful boogie of “The Grand Wazoo (Think It Over),” the brassy 20-piece big band begins its mathematic assault, dragging listeners over coals of dissonance and clashing instrumentation. Zappa’s brilliance shines through - but you have to squint hard to see it. Die-hards can order it for $30 at barfkoswill.shop.musictoday.com. Download: “The Grand Wazoo (Think It Over).”

Lily Allen: 'My behavior is not embarrassing'
Lily Allen has denied reports she was thrown off a yacht party in Cannes -- and insists her behavior is what you'd expect from a normal 23-year-old.
The 'Smile' singer took her My Space blog Friday to "respond to things I read about my self in the press."
She says, "For the record I was not thrown off any body's yacht in Cannes, occasionally I drink wine with lunch and yes I swim topless , this in my book is not embarrassing behavior.
"I'm 23 years old it's not my fault if photographers follow me everywhere and need a story to print with their pointless pictures."
The singer also goes on to say she wishes digital cameras hadn't been invented, but "on the other hand digital pictures are easier to retouch, so I shouldn't complain," she writes.
And cooling reports she's back together with her ex, Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons, after the pair were spotted having lunch together, Lily says, "I went for lunch with my ex boyfriend yesterday, lunch.
"I am not some failed baby making machine desperately to trying to win my man back.
"Sometimes I think these journalists are still living in the 50's.
"No one knows anything about my relationships. Ed and I are friends, who went for lunch yesterday, thats it."

Madonna - Madonnas Hotel Room Fury
Pop superstar MADONNA was reportedly furious after a camera crew sneaked into her hotel room during her stay in Cannes, France.
The singer was in the region for the Cannes International Film Festival last week (beg19May08) and booked into a suite at the city's plush Carlton Intercontinental Hotel.
But Madonna was angered when footage of her hotel room appeared on French television after a TV crew apparently sneaked past security during her stay and filmed her suite - showing the specially provided purified water and gym equipment she had requested.
According to French newspaper Le Parisien, Madonna was so angry with the hotel staff, she refused to pay the $90,000 (GBP45,000) bill.
