Ah, got it. Here we have "CicLAvia" as a safe, orderly and sanctioned alternative to the quasi-legal "crash ride" gatherings that take place early in the morning on the Marathon route before the race starts. Fights and chain reaction tip-overs somet…

Interesting half hour documentary about the formerly lost but now, albeit very rarely screened, found 'Countdown At Kusini' / 'Cool Red' which is best known for the Manu Dibango soundtrack. (Edit: YouTube doesn't seem to allow external embedding fo…

Jimster said: dedicated bike lanes Not the same thing, but this reminds me of the bimonthly events we have in Los Angeles, and elsewhere in the US, where the city closes select stretches of main roads to traffic for bicyclists on a Sunday,…

My 1200 with the Nervous Wreck slipmat and discontinued Shure needle is still going strong.

Good to know. Guess I'll spend that money to see the Headhunters at the Hollywood Bowl instead, also in the "cheap" seats.

"The Dogs Of War": I haven't seen it in a long time, but I finished the book this week and rewatched the next day. A great film that made Walken a star, but it understandably condensed, changed or omitted some things, including the very end. Three q…

Nothing much lately, but I found this cheap in excellent condition. I bought the AEoC LP a while back, but I got it signed by Roscoe Mitchell when I saw him play last weekend.

The Brasil vs. Costa Rica game which was held here in Los Angeles reminded me of the Arsenal vs Manchester friendly coming up. Worth the $100 ticket, even for seats in the nosebleeds?

Steve Albini and Roger Corman

The only results that turned up were World War One battles and the day Bob Evans, of restaurant chain and sausage fame, was born.

ppadilha said: He scored a ton of films. I see that he composed the music for a few of Os Trapalhões' movies. "Sete Homens Vivos Ou Mortos" and "O Bravo Guerreiro" look interesting.

The lawyer's comments "I think we both benefit" and "if we put our hands together" are very telling.

Above the clouds. Rest in peace, Cesar.

What a wild ride this was: Also saw this at the theater. I read about the incident it was based on, but I never saw the film before. Apparently it has been screened only a handful of times in the US: I cannot find the whole film on YT. I reall…

Portuguese is such a fascinating language.

Reminds me of the Kenyan music video character years ago: "Mekmende" (as in Clint Eastwood's "make my day" line from 'Sudden Impact'). Given the Chuck Norris-like meme's popularity, I wouldn't be surprised if there is at least one kid there with tha…

I just got back after spending four days in São Paulo, which is not enough. MoogMan, who used to post here years ago, accompanied me at a shopping center across the street from the Municipal Theater which has almost an entire second floor dedicate…

Stay strong. I remember what I went through with my father. I will give what I can.

2+ hour interview with Premo here

I remember this one too

"Musical Massacre" was my shit when it first dropped. Never seen them live, unfortunately. LL on "Hot Ones": the parts where he reacts to Da Bomb (15:50) and explains "Pink Cookies" (20:00) were hilarious. While I understand that not everyone has a …

And "Magnum Force", too.

Thank you for everything. To paraphrase Sly's "Sing A Simple Song", we've all shared life's ups and downs. We had our laughs, had our disagreements, made friendships and shared knowledge. It sounds corny, but this place also helped me grow as a pers…
