Silver Apples + White Noise
Probably two of the most spun out bands of the sixties that both relied more heavily on emerging electronics and tape munipulation rather than the much preferred electric guitar. Totally different to you garage-psych rock stuff that was considered pretty wild for the time, these two groups were for the more nausating acid trips. The Contact part of the Silver Apples collection (72??) is probably one of my favourite records of the era.
Parts of White Noise are beautiful acid-folksy stuff where as others are still really fucked up today... The Black Mass: Electric Storm in Hell is one of the scariest sounding recordings ever and I'm sure gets heaps of love of most church burning black metal heads.
STRONGLY recommend listening to WHite Noise with headphones on as the stereo aspect of the recordings is the best/worst part depending on your mental health.

Battle Royale
VS
Why does the small town of London have two young hipster bands feature XX in there names? (especially considering The ---- and ---- teens is hardly a new prefix/suffix in the band name world) Who knows.. Who does your vote go to?
Inglourious Basterds
No introduction needed, however the reason for this post is to "big up" Christoph Waltz / Jew Hunter, carried this film, how can you play such an unlikeable basterd (pun intended) but be so remembered and respected. He even strangled my favourite actress of late Melanie Laurent (see movie 'Paris' and fall in love), and still wins me over with his charm in the 'milk' scene. Obviously i am not stating anything remarkable as he did pick up best actor at Cannes 09'. If you havent seen this movie get along...NOVA Lygon St $8 Mondays.
