A friend gifted me a DVD of "Tourist Trap" , starring Chuck Connors, for my birthday. It's low budget and influenced by "Psycho", "House Of Wax" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". This is what I was talking about when I mentioned unintentionally funny h…

I bought the 80s pressing of "Meu Corpo", the one with their faces on the cover, a little before the pandemic. I didn't know much about Brazilian music aside from the famous names then. I think you were the one who told me to get it during one of th…

Howard Roberts: I really enjoy the two ABC/Impulse! LPs that bookend that one ("Antelope Freeway" and "Equinox Express Elevator").

I have been thinking about that for a long time. My mentality is, "it's on YouTube. They can check it out if they want." Thing is, I don't have recording software, a second turntable or a fully functioning mixer to make something proper. I never fel…

Some Salvador finds. Debut from Ednardo. I thought his name was familiar and I just remembered that I have his and the Pessoal Do Ceará's follow up ("Meu Corpo..."). Never can go wrong with Egberto or Gal. I thought finding the Giorgio here of all p…

For the most part, I avoid political talk too because it's as pointless as discussing religion. Also, I am a big defender of "most people in the US aren't like that!". But I am really disappointed with a large percentage of the country who let "owni…

When you flip over the "We Are The World" single:

You know people! Highlights: the crystal blue swimming holes in and near the caves in Chapada via Lençóis, hiking Morro do Pai Início, riding a quad inside Ilha de Tinharé and boating around it. I stayed in the Pelorinho which was as touristy as I …

I was in Bahia for the past week: Salvador, Chapada Diamantina and Morro de São Paulo.

I like unintentional comedy in gory movies but I don't bother with "horror comedy". For example, as Bill listed, the first two Hellraisers will put unpleasant images in your head and hopefully fuel a nightmare right after. However, the third and oth…

I haven't seen either, but "At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul" and "This Night I'll Possess Your Corpse" will play at the theater near me as part of a José Mojica Marins (aka Zé do Caixão, which reminds me that there was someone named "Coffin Joe" her…

alieNDN2 said: another concert to check out Ebo Taylor x Pat Thomas at Phoenix Concert Oct 31. I was supposed to see them last Wednesday in Los Angeles, but it was postponed until early next year as was the Gyedu-Blay Ambolley show. From w…

I had no idea that the Uriah Heep title track was used for the background story roll in "Water Margin", the film

Swap meet finds. Fredera is the only LP from the Som Imaginário guitarist who played with the best of the best in MPB. Astrud is in unplayed condition. Egberto Gismonti is the LP he released after the excellent "Corações Futuristas" but before he …

klezmer electro-thug beats said: I like the story behind the salma hayek graemlin. Did it start when Monty Stark appeared on the board to join the discussion of Stark Reality? Or some other real life musician? Strutter by the screen name…

Nice! Coincidentally, the other day I was looking at a list of unusual town names and, sure enough, Dildo was there.

"Images" (Robert Altman, 1971): Years ago, all I knew previously about this is that both John Williams and Stomu Yamashita collaborated on the soundtrack. I found it at a local video rental store (yes, they still exist!) and checked it out. Susannah…

He popularized Brazilian music internationally. Seeing his records constantly as I started to collect, I realized that the country isn't just poolside lounge but encompasses a rich heritage. The only time I have seen him in person was when he was …

The Saul Bass connection checks out since the first and only feature film he directed ('Phase IV', a trippy movie about hyper intelligent ants) included Stomu Yamashita's music, but for a scene which was unfortunately cut in the original release. …

Labor Day weekend swap meet finds. Another Association PC, sealed Undisputed Truth and Stomu Yamashita with Saul Bass cover art.

klezmer electro-thug beats said: The problem I had as I made that one attempt to get to know the genre more deeply than feature films - so much of the "culture" for what it's worth is wrapped up in TV series - ended in disgust. I know exact…

I was into anime at one point, but all I remember from "Akira" were the motorcycle battles. If you're into that same style, check out the "Golgo 13" and "Ninja Scroll".

Gena Rowlands, Alain Delon and Silvio Santos.

Crazy you mentioned "Blue Collar" because, coincidentally, it is going to play at the same theater, two weeks from now, where I saw "Deadlock". Before I saw your post, I read about all the drama behind the scenes. I re-watched "Bring Me The Head Of …

"Deadlock" (Roland Klick, 1970): Strange little "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly"-like curio from Germany with Marquard Bohm, Anthony Dawson and Mario Adorf bearing the likenesses to The Man With No Name, Angel Eyes and Tuco, respectively. Three guys…

klezmer electro-thug beats said: nice stuff! that impressions contains what I think might be my favorite all time curtis related song ("seven years").Thanks! I thought I already had this one (I didn't) but I picked it up anyway. I agree, "7 Y…
