What a great and really underrated album! Hereīs the great ending where is easy to hear what was about to come: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLukUKA1khM |

I have never heard this album, but isn't this the precursor to King Crimson? I am intrigued. Will check it out as soon as I have the chance. |

Oooh yeah, this is such a good album. It's hard to believe this is the same band that recorded Breakup Song... Or even Holdypaws for that matter. I would like to see TMTKTG re-issued alongside Holdypaws and Halfbird in an affordable box set format, kinda like the Flamigg Lips did with The Day They Shot a Hole in the Jesus Egg, containing Priest Driven Ambulance, Mushroom Tapes and various odds and ends from the pre-Warner Bros period. It would be cool to have all the pre-Reveille Deerhoof in one place. |

Serious. Hey, I mean, it's a mashup of two of ambient music's most iconic recordings. Sure, Metal Machine Music took a lot of crap, and continues to polarize, but ultimately it was (mostly) vindicated by its influence, and by the passing of time. Now it's hard to imagine a world without it. Ben Frost's A U R O R A would probably have been a considered a joke in 1975 as well. So would Goodbye 20th Century, and possibly a good portion of the music we discuss here. Not sure about the cover... needs work... But I would throw down cold hard cash on a physical copy of this in a hot minute. |

I love also goodbye 20th Century. Sometimes I have felt the greatest genius in music is something most of the people think just a joke. I mean it sounds really mad, but still doesnīt change into humour music. I think Frank Zappa is great example sliding between genius music & humour music. |

NO! Frank Zappa is an ENEMY of ROCK AND ROLL. |

She's been in about 40 movies. You've probably seen Say Anything, the flick in which John Cusack holds a boombox over his head (incidentally, the song coming out of that thing was supposed to be The Replacements' "Within Your Reach", but the studio wanted something mainstream and Cameron Crowe caved; things could've turned out differently for the Mats...). More recently-ish, she had a small part in Zodiac, a movie bookended by Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man". |

The greatest thing EVER, ANYWHERE, in the history of EVERYTHING, is Lee Elia's April 29, 1983 tirade against Chicago Cubs fans. Context: at the time, Wrigley Field still didn't have lights to hold night games, so the Cubs, who were having a horrible season, only played during the day. You'll see why this little information is relevant. Prepare for the sublime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KGcwE4FtGw |

That movie, despite being only so-so and kind of meandering, and altogether irrelevant historically, is exactly why "Hurdy Gurdy Man" gives me the creeps... The opening scene is particularly eerie. Even when he's not really on his a-game, David Fincher can direct his fuckin' ass off. |
Hell yeah. Even the worst Fincher movies are great.

And the best ones are just magnificent. I've always really enjoyed the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, even though it was pretty traditional, heartstring tugging Hollywood fare.... It was just beautifully filmed and the story was exquisitely told. I don't even care much for the original Fitzgerald story, but I think the film was big Hollywood at its very best. I also have a serious fascination with general fiction stories that border on or include elements of the fantastic or the absurd without lapsing into faerie and losing all believability. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was quite something as well. It's a shame that franchise was dropped. Probably my favorite of the Reznor and Ross scores. And Fight Club is tolerable, I suppose ;) I just picked up a deluxe, special DVD edition of FC for a couple bucks in a used bookstore the other day. Haven't seen Gone Girl yet, but I love the soundtrack. |

i've like wye oak lots since their first album, and saw them live and they're great live-- the dude plays like 5 instruments at the same time which at the same time impressive and a bit hilarious. they used to sound a bit like yo la tengo-- not a copy, just a kind of relatedness. but i haven't liked every album-- a recent one (i forget the name) was a bit too polished & poppy for my taste. but it wasn't cringeworthy or anything as i recall. myabe it's that one you posted? not sure. i should re-check them & sort them out by name. Quote:
you have spotty-fried, yes? do a search for "modas" (album) and you should get 6 volumes of this good stuff. zizi has one, there are 5 others i'm working through. the 2nd i like better-- seems to be about emigrants going to work in factories-- or at least that's what i invent when i distinguish various loose words. it's great though. at the end of each-- i don;t know what to call it-- the chorus goes briefly bananas like a bunch of alley cats. i wish there was a track of pure that. |
I'm bouncing back and forth between new releases by RDJ and FKA Twigs which I've purchased on iTunes over the past day or so. The new AFX is still only half available and in pre-order status. Should be ready by Friday.
The new FKA Twigs leaves no room for doubt. This woman is one of the best artists around. |
