  "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 in an abandoned desert mining town fight over a suitcase full of cash. The character dynamic of "I wanted to kill this guy, but I had a change of heart" to "let's work together and kill this guy" and back again is repeated numerous times until the intense climax. Of course, this is not as epic as its obvious inspiration but worth a look. The primary reason this was saved from the dustbin of complete obscurity is the soundtrack by Can. It was screened locally on Monday night and is available on DVD, but it can be seen for free online. However, you will have to put up with the commercials on Tubi, the Russian voiceover following the English dialogue on YouTube or even the entire film in reverse (why?!?) also on YT.

  I watched Deadlock last night on Tubi. The movie is pretty slow, but the soundtrack is great.

  I wanted to watch To Live and Die in LA and found it wasn't streaming anywhere yesterday. Today I stopped by one of the shops in town and they had just gotten a used copy in shortly before I showed up and were playing it on the TV. Now it's mine.

  I went on a week long trip driving Texas Route 67 across Texas from Texarkana to Presidio with a bunch of VW friends. I didn't have much time to dig for records but was able to stop a couple times in thrift stores. These are the highlights.
