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.

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…
