New Hank Wood & The Hammerheads LP.

Thought the second record was good but definitely more of the same, I'm glad to see they totally remedied that here. Bonkers record that seems so energetic without trying very hard at all.

Started the Ichi, The Killer manga today after watching the movie. Should be a brisk read since I made it through 1/10 volumes in about 45 minutes. Great art and I'm glad the Manga is just as fucked up as Miike's film adaptation is. Nothing like a protagonist who murders people and then cries and beats off.

Can anyone help me figure out some great spaghetti westerns to watch based on composer?

I know the obvious would be anything scored by Ennio Morricone but I'm looking for stuff that has a great soundtrack as well as an above-abysmal movie infront of it. I'm pretty fresh into this weird corner so all I really know is Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai, any other names to start out with would be sweet!

New Hank Wood & The Hammerheads LP- finally got it today and I already love it so much. Maybe a little polished compared to the previous for me (mainly how different Hank sounds on the first side at least) but maaaaan they really busted out the song writing chops on this, Nervous City is a perfect jam.

I heard that Gutteridge actually came to NYC for those recent Clean shows and was expecting to perform with them, but for whatever reason couldn't/didn't/was allowed to or something. Kind of heartbreaking.

Christ, I hope thats not true.

RIP

RE: Protex. Sorry if this already but been posted but I thought I heard somewhere that they were alright but fuck if this video doesn't prove otherwise. How they managed to make this song sound so limp is beyond me. Actually, that's a lie- old guys singing decades-old songs about frustrated young love will always sound limp. Not so beyond me after all.

pretty sure I have Styrophobia.

Can't stand being near it when it rubs together (you know the sound) and I think years of that have actually made me uncomfortable around large pieces of the solid stuff even if it's not gonna get a rub. I was just watching a video on the internet yesterday and that sound made its appearance and I fast forwarded.

This is real good musically and lyrically. Might make it into my top of the year if I don't wear it out soon. Pale Grey Suits is a perfect song dealing with a topic  that I don't think is ever eloquently dealt with in music (evangelism).

Boyhood

I liked it, and would go so far as to say that I liked it alot in so far as it is a study of the mundane. I'm not trying to be a contrarian but the unanimous praise this film is getting makes me both excited (a resurgence of cinema going masses? nah probably not) and a little uneasy. It was a worthwhile watch but there's no way that a three hour movie full of cultural references and what is essentially a grocery list of life experiences (First girlfriend, first beer, kids moving out shitty dad etc etc) wasn't going to strike obvious chords with audiences and that all seems a little cheap to me. Maybe I just can't accept that I like a movie like this so much but for now I'm going to hold on to my opinion that this a good albeit disposable movie that is drawing based on the form (which is novel, although not entirely original) over the content.


The Living Skeleton
Good short horror flick that was adequately described in the liner notes as relying on "shadows over shocks". A real anxiety inducing vibe throughout and it had a tendency to leave me in complete confusion about the next steps for the entirely run, always a plus in my books.

Saw Ajax last night and they were tight as hell. Didn't realize they were a 3 piece either but they sounded HUGE.

Actually I take that back, I remember being impressed by lyrics by Brown Sugar and Wiccans recently.
