“That most important thing: love” (1975) dir. Andrzej zulawski

Honestly bro I had no idea wtf was going on in ts but the wardrobe was A1 and scene locations were mad cool. It also is the same dude who did Possession, ik a lot of you mfs on this app like that one. Starring Romy Schneider of “La Piscine” fame, also features a sleazed out performance by Klaus Kinski, it’s ab a photographer who likes some actress but her sherm bf is unhinged and manipulating her idk I got tired of reading subtitles. Overall it‘s a great movie to watch if you want to take a picture of ur screen to throw on ur IG story to make ppl think ur mad esoteric and knowledgeable ab late 20th century European cinema.

THE CREMASTER CYCLE

Clocking in at about nine hours, I saw this over the course of three screenings in the fall of 2010. It’s a real commitment and incredibly weird, but also gorgeous and disgusting and full of Vaseline and cameos by artists and athletes. I know Matthew Barney was not a great partner to Björk so he loses points retrospectively, but I think it’s cool that he took his Ralph Lauren modeling money and put it into funding a very weird art career. An added bonus is that a bunch of ephemera from the film is in museum collections around the world, so once in a while, I’ve stumbled across some strange object or film still out in the wild. I also got to see “The River of Fundament” in 2016 over the course of two screenings and am eager for more weird long epic movies.

The kingdom (1994)

Been rewatching this miniseries from Lars von Trier for an essay I’ve been working on. Truly batshit. Ghost dogs! Harbingers of death! a doctor giving birth to a grown man! Haitian Voodoo! Add in some cool 90s video grit and you’ve got a truly wonderful oddity.

absolutely golden gate park

The less you read about it (or look at maps) the better. Just enter via Haight Street, turn your phone off and wander 'til you reach the ocean. If you go on a Sunday afternoon and you didn't already come across it, proceed to turn your phone back on and track back to the 6th Avenue Skate Park to check out the roller disco party 🛼🔊😎

independent/DIY radio just in london

Because of the extensive tradition of pirate radio in the UK (from Radio Caroline on down), London probably has the most insane landscape of 24/7 internet radio in the world. I've tried to rank these in terms of approximate popularity ranging from NTS (as mentioned) on down to purely DIY weekend-only amateur collectives like LWSTD. If you don't know the stations in your city, just have a quick google and do some Instagram "Following" list exploration and it should be pretty easy to find more (e.g. in Amsterdam check out Echobox, Radio Tempo Não Pára, RRFM, etc...) - NTS (Dalston) https://www.nts.live/ - Rinse FM (Hoxton) https://rinse.fm/ - Worldwide FM (Islington) https://worldwidefm.net/ (currently mostly on ice but great archive) - Balaami (Peckham) https://www.balamii.com/ - Soho Radio https://sohoradiolondon.com/ - Reprezent Radio (Brixton) https://www.reprezentradio.org.uk/ - Netil Radio (Hackney) https://www.netilradio.com/ - Subtle Radio (Hackney) https://www.subtleradio.com/ - Voices Radio (Kings Cross) https://www.voicesradio.co.uk/ - Aaja (Deptford) https://aajamusic.com/radio/ - Do You!! Radio (Hackney) https://doyou.world/ - LWSTD https://www.lovewillsavetheday.fm/

custom google map of Strange / obscure / extreme / out of the ordinary bars / clubs in Berlin

See link above; I borrowed this from Reddit (thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/berlinsocialclub/comments/135p7cu/strange_obscure_extreme_out_of_the_ordinary_bars/) but it's recent and as an occasional tourist seems like a solid/representative list (although *many* more exist to be stumbled upon)
