Music Shit / Re: I Need Suggestions

I'm overwhelmed with all of the stuff coming out which is very similar to not being in the "know" too. Between quality reissues and the current crop of underground gunk pop/rock...I'd say stick with the newer artists first. You never know if it'll be around if you hold out. I'm nowhere near the level of "current crud" sophistication some of these folks are but I'd go with:

Francis Harold 7"
Zola Jesus/Burial Hex split
Mayyors "Deads" LP

Fuck, I'm running out of steam. That's what happens when you get buried by reissues of record collector shit! Hope someone else has more hotness for ya.

Did anyone see the movie? I heard it sucks ass. At least if the movie did well it would kind of make sense for Shane West to go on performing with the Germs but this is just pathetic.

I have a DVD copy. Been sitting on top of my TV since April. Still have not found enough motivation to actually watch it.

Stay the fuck away from it. You should see the hack they got to play Claude Bessy. It's as if they dug up some farm team SNL actors and filled their empty heads with a PG version of the "Lexicon Devil" book. What a shame. I'm not going to describe what they did to the Screamers in this movie....

Bill Cosby "Talks To Kids About Drugs" influenced me in my course for opiates and cocaine. He made it sound so darn wholesome and cool.

Never cared for Fando y Lis. I think El Topo is far greater than Holy Mountain although I love that movie too. Feel like Santa Sangre always gets shafted, it's good too.

Off topic, but could anyone imagine what Jodorowsky's version of "Dune" would've looked like if DeLaurentis let that maniac's vision loose?

Seriously though, say what you want about their non-film work but how fucking great is Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' soundtrack work?

His Bad Seeds stuff has been in the shithouse sump pump for neary twenty years. That sparse score and those simple, childlike melodies in PROPOSITION are fucking clutch. Besides, he wrote the fucking movie! I think he needs to stop trying to take the Leonard Cohen Intercontinental Belt and shoot for that Sam Peckinpah Apperciation Society membership.

Robert Benton's BAD COMPANY featuring Jeff Bridges is about as real as it gets. A couple of young men set down the criminal path but get shown what it's really like wandering the countryside. Takes alot of wind out of the myths. But then again, I was always the kid who searched high and low for his christmas presents instead of waiting for the surprise X-Mas day. Regardless, it's worth watching for the unique perspective on that period in America's history as well as the solid script.

It's easy to WANT to dismiss that Officer Brad Pitt vehicle "The Assassination Of Robert Ford...." but very difficult to trash once you weave through it. Sam Shepard, Jeremy Renner, and Sam Rockwell have amazing supporting roles. Believe it or not, Casey Affleck really sells those disconcerting loner vibes. Unease, desire, and delusions of grandeur ebb and flow until he finally gets that chance to make his bones. Boy, what a price! Some of the cinematography is snail-paced and dreamlike like a cross breeding of John Boorman and Terence Malick. Which, honestly, I'm not always in the mood for...

But then there's THE PROPOSITION, which hits most "western" nails right on the head.  I don't need to go on about this one here because I'm sure most of you know it through and through. But outta left field comes DANNY HUSTON with a classic villain. The best villains always seemed to be humanized by their literary creators. It almost seems like these villains could be anyone in your life and then BLAMMO he's laying down some brutality that would make Idi Amin grip a rosary.

Sorry, I love this genre!

Vertical Slit's cover of I Remember Nothing wins

Yeah, Jim pretty much out Ian'ed Ian and did it for far longer. To wallow around in that kinda mental murk for as long as he did...John Milius should write a screenplay about those brass balls. Vinnie, awesome call.
