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…

Some from the past two weeks:

"L.A. Bound" is pretty easy to find, at least here, and underrated. "The King Arrives" is really good too. I've never been able to find the private press one with the monochrome cover.

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.

Jimster said: He was hit by a woman looking at her ipad on the passenger seat. I see nonsense like this on a daily basis and it really pisses me off. It's also one of the reasons why I never drink, even a couple of beers, unless I know for…

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.
