I am spinning Living Colour today.....just finished Vivid, now playing Stain.
So good!!
Thé Three Body Problem is next up, just as soon as I finish season three of The Gift, which is a Turkish sort of Time Travel/spiritual mystery thing on Netflix—pretty well done.
Larks Tongues this morning….loud!
LOL, similar issues. The "Apple Scene."
I'll say no more.
It probably didn't help that I was guffawing loudly every time some improbable sexual situation occurred, while my wife and...
I saw Poor Things on Sunday, had no real advance notice about what to expect, and had not seen a trailer. I agree with everything you've said, and also thought the acting was grand.....but boy, that...
Man, that bass sound is great--for 1968. Great playing. I had not heard this band.....(Down the rabbit hole I go.)
Presence is my favorite Zep album, and they are, aside from the Beatles, the most important Rock Band I believe.
Since I've been Loving You is a great tune, and a great performance, but Tea For...
In my opinion.....I would recommend Midnight's Children first. I love Rushdie and read everything, but Satanic Verses is not his best book.
Waaaay cool.
Ferguson is missed, for sure.
Didn't we all?
Yeah, it's pretty good--I own the original release on CD, and I find it the best thing they've done since, maybe, Magnification. I don't need more of the same though..
Oh shit, how could I forget Blade Runner on my list? Def. in my top five...and I like both versions!
Gonna disagree with you here. How is it "obvious?"
I think Yes fans who are still on board with the band have already bought the release. And I think these super deluxe re-releases are clearly...
Oh boy. Right now, gun to my head, it would be number one.
As for the other four.....hmmmm...not in any order, and just off the top of my head:
Holy Grail
Alien
Godfather
Star Wars
Yeah, some days it's my number one, for sure. It holds up, too.........
Right now, Blow Out--Hakon Graf, Sveinung Hovensjo, Jon Eberson, Jon Christensen
Rick's interview is great.....that was great to watch, and really opened up my understanding of her background. She is a force of nature.
Speaking of prescience, as some of you know, I re-watched 2001 for the umpteenth time.....it's in my top five fave films ever. Still prescient.......10/10 monolithic somethings.
I am watching Six Nations on Youtube TV.
In fact, there was quite a bit of support for the Nazis here in the USA from 1933 until Pearl Harbor. There were organizations which were on the payroll of the Nazi Gov't. and they actively...
How the South Won the Civil War--Heather Cox Richardson.
Oligarchy in America.......pretty disturbing stuff.
Crunch crunch??
Thinking about Bach's music, I have always thought it was supremely "logical." Say, in contrast to Beethoven or Brahms, whose music I hear as more "emotional." But there's a certain beauty which...
That looks good. ^^
Will check it out.
Man, that is so cool. Congrats, Duncan, to your daughter and you!
I just finished Prequel, by Rachel Maddow.
They sure didn't teach this in school. I think I would agree that the potential for Fascism based on racism and authoritarian Christianism is higher...
I really like this. Not usually a huge fan of the Cookie Monster Death Metal vocals, but .....wow.
Wow. That's gotta hurt.
Wolfe is probably the best prose writer in the SF/F genre, IMO. I mean, stylistically......it's beautiful. His command of the language is vast. And yeah, he creates Worlds and Characters and Story...
Daryll Dobson -The Mind Electric
I’d watch that.

https://youtu.be/AK3gB7DpaM0
LOL, yeah, that one always gets me.:lol
Kazumi Watanabe -Oyatsu this morning to start the day.
Reading Rachel Maddow's Prequel....cautionary stuff.
I have been digging him lately. That clip from San Pedro with Mohini et al was super-fun!
Jaw Harp.
In general, accordion and banjo --with exceptions.
My member stats say I joined in 2012, but I know I was on the prior version back in....gosh, the mid to late 90's some time. It is one of the few sites I check daily. Congrats to PE, and a Big...
Hoping for a NorCal appearance.
KEATS a biography by Andrew Motion.
I finished Radical Wordsworth over the holidays......a good book, but less a biography than a sort of argument for how the Romantics changed our way of life. ...
Nor can I.
JW Green is pretty tasty, too, though. Someone gave me the blue label and it was good too, but I would not pay for it.
James Brandon Lewis--Transfiguration
James Brandon Lewis Transfiguration just arrived, and it's a winner.
Oteil and the Peacemakers-Believer
Manna/Mirage-est of the World
Jizue-Novel
Den Za Den
that was a fun video.....
Miriodor-Signal 9
I have not seen it, but may watch it. what I find sad is that exploitation and abuse do exist and it only devalues the impact of true stories (I believe Sound of Freedom was based on a true story?)...
My first 14 are pretty set, but 15--34 wiggle and toggle position, depending...
And Stoner, and dare I say it, a pre-punk punk band.

Fixed that for ya.
Le Mystere Des Vox Bulgares, vol. 1
Bud Shank and Shorty Rogers-California Concert
His solo from Metal Fatigue is spot on.....tone is a bit less "brown" than Allan's but hell, the guy nails it. Thanks for that link. I'm watching ......I wonder if this guy gets out of his bedroom,...
Coltrane and Holdsworth are my two favorite improvisers, ever.
You can recognize either of them, once you know them, in general. I guess that part of the "samey" comments I heard.... But just...
I like Austin--I guy who follows his heart (or other parts of his anatomy!) But yeah, I'd say Dee is playing the best game, and deserves the win.
I think relatively new....it's a six part series. I think the actual title is "World War Two: From the Front Lines" and it has many personal stories and colorized footage, apparently often of the...
Just finished the six part Netflix WWII Doc. Should be essential viewing. Very well done.
