DIE ANTWOORD EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH TIM NOAKES (CAPE TOWN 2010) Tim Noakes 2010-05-29 | Read the feature here: medium.com/tim-noakes/die-antwoord-eb7cf541http://twitter.com/timnoakesIn June 2010, I met up with Ninja and Yo-Landi of South African zef rap rave phenomenon Die Antwoord for an exclusive tour of their home city, Cape Town. Starting with an interview over a milkshake in Golden Acre, we then went to their friend Dragon's house for a photo shoot and ended up at the home of Afrikaans gangsta rap pioneer Isaac Mutant for pizza, beers and a freestyle session. This is a film of my day spent on the zef side....Stills photography by Ross Garrett
If Tarantino Scored Drive Tim Noakes 2019-10-06 | What if Quentin Tarantino was the music supervisor on Drive? I composed an alternative soundtrack to the opening scene of Drive in the style of Pulp Fiction... with some Morricone and Vangelis flourishes thrown in too.Let me know what you think! twitter.com/TimNoakesAlso check out my radio show: soundcloud.com/synthheroshowPoster art © Rizon Parein rizon.beAll moving images go to the film's rightful owner(s).

The Wanderer Tim Noakes 2017-03-27 | I had a little boat. I called it life. Once I went out to Clacton-on-Sea and never came back. All of a sudden there was a big wind, and waves like mountains.Many things raced through my mind.And in the lonely chanting of the sea, I heard the echoes of eternity.And in the fantasy of cloud and sky, I saw the one who lives, while all things die.And I was swallowed by the sea, and lost in the deep.And washed up on the shore. When I awaken, the storm was over and the sea was calm.It was strange and wonderful, like seeing the world and seeing through the world. And when I told the people in the village that I went out and never came back they all laughed and called me The Wanderer. And I laughed with them, they didn't know. They were the Wanderers.And so I found my way and found my home on Eden’s Island, where the wind has been telling the truth forever and ever and ever.

ASAP ROCKY + ASAP MOB: HARLEM STATE OF MIND (EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW) Tim Noakes 2012-01-26 | twitter.com/TimNoakestwitter.com/DazedMagazinehttp://www.dazeddigital.com/musicFor Dazed & Confused's February 2012 cover story, I went to NYC to meet hip hop's golden boy, A$AP Rocky and his A$AP Mob to get the low down on his overnight success and to take a tour of the crew's favourite local spots. After a shopping spree in Soho, the fashion fanatics braved sub zero temperatures for a photo shoot on Harlem's legendary Rucker Park basketball court with Ari Marcopoulos before heading home to 116th Street for a soul food banquet at Amy Ruth's. They even squeezed in an impromptu house call on one of their grannies who hadn't seen Rocky since his videos "Peso" and "Purple Swag" blew up and landed the 24-year-old rapper with a $3 million record deal. The next day I met them and a very large Rottweiler called Brody at a crumbling mansion in New Jersey as they filmed the final scene of Rocky's "Wassup" video. It was a wild 24 hours... Tim Noakes
OH LAND PHOTO SHOOT FOR DAZED & CONFUSED MAGAZINE Tim Noakes 2011-01-25 | http://twitter.com/TimNoakeshttp://www.socialstereotype.comhttp://www.dazeddigital.comOver the last two years, the life of Danish pop singer Oh Land has changed beyond recognition. Moving from Copenhagen to New York to record her major label debut with Depeche Mode's producer Dave McCracken, the former ballerina has also found time to work with Pharrell Williams and John Legend. Shakira was so taken with her brand of Nordic electro pop that she offered Oh Land the opening slot at her recent Madison Square Garden extravaganza -- which she turned down! "It's crazy but I didn't feel ready for something like that," she says. "If I start out at Madison Square Garden where am I going to end? I need to take one little step at a time to make sure that there can be a next step. And when you work with superstars like Pharrell and John Legend, people will automatically focus on that, so I decided not to include any of those songs on my new record. I want to show people that I'm an artist who can stand on my own legs." Read more about Oh Land in the February 2011 issue of Dazed & Confused. This film is what happened on the shoot with photographer Marcelo Gomes...
DAVID SHRIGLEY WELCOME TO MY STUDIO (INTERVIEW 2010) Tim Noakes 2010-09-29 | http://twitter.com/TimNoakes http://www.socialstereotype.com http://www.dazeddigital.com What the Hell Are you Doing? -- The Essential David Shrigley is the funniest, yellowest, biggest, bestest art book of all time ever, by our Funniest Living Artist David Shrigley. A three hundred and fifty page 'greatest hits' hardback with a baffled cow on the front, it represents a landmark in the career of the great Shrig, whose inimitable style - imitated like crazy! - has permeated the culture in strange new ways. From high art to lowly greetings cards, high end ad campaigns to merchandised kitchenware, Shrigley's work is absolutely all over the shop, but never anything less than consistently funny, unflinchingly dark, and repeatedly, gloriously offensive. Most art books tend to be about as LOL-funny as hepatitis, and so What The Hell Are You Doing comes as a truly welcome relief. We went to the West End of Glasgow to poke cameras at Shrigley in the confines of his beautiful home. He and his lovely wife Kim were supremely nice to us and generous to a fault, offering tea with a choice of cow's or goat's milk, burgers and indeed chips, one paperback copy of Don DeLillo's Libra, one DVD copy of Guns 'n' Roses Live in Tokyo in 1992, and two copies of Man in a Room; the miniscule illustrated story Shrigley published in 2007. Man in a Room's sparse Beckettian comedy has recently been adapted into a live-action short film, by Rafael Palacio Illingworth; a New York filmmaker about whom Shrigley knows alarmingly little. He showed us the film, and it was really surprisingly good. Look out for it. The Shrigleys have a splendid collection of art, almost all of which seems to have been made by personal friends who we've never heard of, apart from Edwyn Collins. Philip Guston is David's favourite painter. He wore big running trainers and a zip-up tracksuit top and said he loathed the world of fashion. He's dead into music, new and old, and told us that going to gigs in Glasgow is his only social life. Later, on the way to the launch party for the book, where his pal's band 'Correcto' were to play, Shrigley became the only person we've ever met who wore a seatbelt in the back of a black cab. Who knew those things even had seatbelts? The man is a pedagogue and a visionary and a total national treasure. We hope you like this film we made about him. TEXT BY STUART HAMMOND

DAVE SITEK INTERVIEW (2010) Tim Noakes 2010-08-19 | http://twitter.com/timnoakes http://www.socialstereotype.com http://www.dazeddigital.com As the producer of TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars, and Scarlett Johasson, Dave Sitek is used to critics showering him with praise for his brilliant, densely layered, pieces of art. However, over the last few years Sitek's mind has moved away from the darkness and towards the light, in more ways than one. After wrapping up work on Holly Miranda's debut album, he vacated his iconic Stay Gold studio in Williamsburg, bought James Dean's old house in Beverly Hills, learned how to bake Blueberry pies, and got to work on something entirely new -- a retro pop alter ego called Maximum Balloon. Taking production cues from Nile Rodgers, The Gap Band, Cyndi Lauper and Tears for Fears, the 37 year old enlisted his friends including Karen O, David Byrne and Theophilus London to make his first ever pop album. Dazed met him at his studio/home to shoot guns at empty weed containers, eat pie, drink grappa and hear what musical gold he's found in them thar hills.

GONJASUFI & THE GASLAMP KILLER EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW Tim Noakes 2010-03-20 | http://twitter.com/timnoakes / http://www.socialstereotype.com For the music issue of Dazed I hit the road with psyche hop wizard Gonjasufi, travelling from LA to his home in Las Vegas. Along the way we hooked up with his long-term producer and global purveyor of cosmic bass, The Gaslamp Killer for an afternoon of machetes, possum hats, hash cookies and heady vibes. In this exclusive film for Dazed Digital, the duo discuss on camera for the first time ever what inspired A Sufi & A Killer, their hallucinogenic debut album, and we also show what happened behind the scenes of Luke Gilford's shoot for the magazine.
CHRISTMAS BEEF WITH 50 CENT (XMAS 2009 INTERVIEW) Tim Noakes 2009-12-22 | http://twitter.com/timnoakes http://www.socialstereotype.com Rap superstar 50 Cent recently jetted into London for a pre-Crimbo blowout, so Tim Noakes decided to go to his hotel to grill him on some serious festive matters. Does he dress up as Santa? Turkey or Beef? Will Jay-Z and Fat Joe be coming over to the crib to sing carols? Is he just a paranoid studio gangsta? How many times was he shot again? And, most importantly, what should Tim buy his wife for Christmas? http://twitter.com/timnoakes http://www.socialstereotype.com
ON THE ROAD WITH HOLLY MIRANDA Tim Noakes 2009-11-20 | http://twitter.com/timnoakes I recently hit the road with rising indie singer Holly Miranda and her guitarist Timmy Mislock as they drove from Williamsburg to Chicago for the first leg of their North American tour. We drove over 800 miles in 24 hours, stopping for the night in a strange Ohioan town called Holiday City, where Holly and Timmy caned back a bunch of beer bongs and rocked out at full volume in their hotel room in the middle of the night. Weirdly, there were no complaints. Actually, the place did slightly remind me of the Overlook Hotel... The next day we ended up in Chicago where Holly celebrated her 27th birthday by playing a hypnotic gig with The Antlers. Go to socialstereotype.com to find out the full story of the trip and how she broke out from a strict religious upbringing to end up working in the studio with TVOTR's Dave Sitek. But in the meantime, check out this film I made of our little road trip, set to the haunting sounds of her song, "Slow Burn Treason", which is taken from her forthcoming debut album The Magician's Private Library.
JAMES HETFIELD INTERVIEW (2009) Tim Noakes 2009-07-20 | http://www.socialstereotype.com The music industry may have changed, but Metallica have somehow managed to outlast grunge, Britpop and their metal contemporaries to remain one of the worlds most revered and highest-grossing rock acts. Sure, there have been a lot of dodgy haircuts, line-up shuffles, stints in rehab, dubious albums, a crusade against internet music piracy, and a car crash documentary in the interim, but to millions of people around the world, lead singer James Hetfield is still considered to be one of the most influential musicians of the last 25 years. In this exclusive video interview the legendary metal frontman talks to Tim Noakes about his life in Metallica, from his dark childhood and 80s excesses, to his worst fashion crimes and ongoing musical competition with Lars and Kirk.

MARK RONSON VS THE RUMBLE STRIPS IN NYC Tim Noakes 2009-02-19 | Stepping into the control room of New Yorks legendary Avatar Studios, a place that has recorded everyone from Bon Jovi to Devo, the emotive sound of Charlie Wallers voice drifts through the mixing desks monitors as a tape captures every vocal nuance. His band, The Rumble Strips, have come to Manhattan to record a follow up to their critically acclaimed debut Girls & Weather with Grammy award winning producer Mark Ronson. As Waller sings a new track entitled Already Dead, Ronson closes his eyes and nods his head back and forth, oblivious to everything in the room apart from the vaguely Spectorish sounds coming out of the speakers. As the take comes to an end, Ronson walks into the bands recording studio and announces, tongue firmly in cheek, That was in the pocket. Now lets rock it. After three more versions, the rest of the band hit the roof for well deserved roll ups and coffee while Ronson and Waller stay behind to discuss the recording sessions, horn embargoes, stage fright, and why they've decided to work together.

EMPIRE OF THE SUN INTERVIEW Tim Noakes 2009-02-18 | http://socialstereotype.com Empire of the Sun are one of the most eccentric pop acts to come along in years. This is a video I made when interviewing the duo for this month's issue of Dazed & Confused. It's quite strange interviewing two guys dressed like outcasts from a Star Wars convention in a dark, empty film studio in Hendon. Not wanting to feel left out of the weirdness they gave me a spare poncho to wear for the duration of the interview. If you look closely you'll catch a glimpse. What's funniest is that, contrary to appearances, they are very serious about what they want to achieve. And, while many are keen to point out the similarities to Fleetwood Mac and MGMT, their epic MOR musical efforts seem to be paying off their single "Walking on a Dream" has already notched up over 6 million plays on MySpace. Enjoy the trip...
