tyler the creator - wolf: tyler the creator doing odd future versions of rap songs that inspired him using the eminem/stan strategy. could not make it past track 7 (featuring frank ocean) due to repetitive nature of this theme. junior vasquez - voguing & the house ballroom scene of new york city 1976-96: if you've seen the documentary then you might be familiar with what voguing is. this is a collection of the quintessential voguing music from someone that sounds like they'd be an authority on the subject. while some of the tracks are just free form dance workouts- most are remixes of house tracks i've never heard of while others are even loser interpretations of other songs with the occasional slow jam added in to (i suppose) give dancers a minute to catch their breathe- and it's over 3hrs of this kind of thing. some of the tracks are nice- most of the others are not.

i had the first 2 episodes of this new show on dvr so i decided to catch it last night. it's a prequel to psycho with the exception that it takes place in the 'hope-you-don't-mind-as-we-won't-actually-remain-accurate-to-that-storyline-all-that-much' universe. what does that mean? well- norman bates listens to his music on an ipod, girls love him, he loves manga comics and has a brother that looks like an extra from degrassi. also his mommy is vera farmiga. oh- and you know how the events of psycho take places in arizona? yes. forget that. now they take place in some fictional town in northern california that looks like a cross between dc and marin county. in short- if you watched psycho- this is the complete opposite of that (except the name norman bates that required to be mentioned by every character at least 5 times to reinforce that it was in fact norman bates we were looking at)

tod dockstader - recorded music for film, radio & television vol. 1 & 2: mordant music released the first volume last year and just recently chucked the 2nd out. this falls into the early electronic sound spectrum except it's probably a little more polished structure-wise and edited to work as library music originally put out on the boosey & hawkes label back in the 80s. despite the "new packaging" and remastering a lot of these tracks are really boring- occasionally you get to hear something interesting (like 'pond dance', 'black hole dropout' and 'sundrift' on the first volume or 'snowbell waltz', 'tictac' and 'boingo background' on the second) but everything else functions more as a sonic history of electronic music rather than entertainment

not sure coz he really worked best under the direction of summo hung. in one of the films (forget which one) they do this fantastic rehash from lurel and hardy where the girlfriend comes to dinner and bao is trying to kill jackie whilst summo comes over to warn him that bao is crazed. classic *ish did you watch that on amc? i saw it on. love helen mirren as a russian <3 right now: 8.5 out of 10 stab wounds.

yep. that fight scene with benny the jet went down in history when kung fu magazine rated it the best choreographed. also, how attractive was lola forner? i really miss when they were a trio and were doing these fun-action comedies. good choreography, set design, props, music and costumes, zero story. i guess a good idea if you can't make it to a show (or convince yourself shelling out almost 200 bucks for a live show is a good idea) really bad. basically, the plot from the first mission impossible film (and the charlie's angels' film) with the team from national treasure. it used to be that these other films were trying to rip off bond, now bond is ripping them off.

soul jazz presents country soul sisters the rise of women in country music 1952-74: well, this one was kinda disappointing (or maybe i'm just not that much into country music) but almost all these songs are very well known or not that special- perhaps for say 'harper valley pta' and ' '- then there are the obvious choices like ' ' and 'if it ain't love' and a pre-requisite dolly parton track. so unless you're completely oblivious about the golden age of country music and the women involved, i'd say it's pretty safe to bypass this release

my girlfriend has a habit of picking really bad films and this was no exception. a true stinker through and through.

actually that's it. before he did made mulholland drive, he was going to make it a tv show like twin peaks, but he didn't want to explain the meanings of certain things in the storyline and so the studios passed- regardless of the fact that he gave the best pitch anyone could remember. as i remember, i think he had even began on the 2nd version of the script- but his version of a television show relies on constantly stringing you along with a mystery only to betray you with another mystery as the reveal partly like a daytime soap opera
-
btw: does anyone here live in los angeles (or been here)? the twin peaks 20th anniversary was held at clifton's cafeteria and if you've been there you know how lynchie that place is. well, on that day, things were extra lynchie.

Though it's always really interesting to look things up that might explain a Lynchian universe, I think you need to keep in mind that Lynch doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about the stuff he does. I was reading a couple of pages here and there in my "Lynch on Lynch" book and I stumbled upon this great conversation: Interviewer: "Many scenes in your films feature the failure of electricity: the faulty neons in the autopsy room in Twin Peaks; the buzzing light fittings in Dorothy Vallen's apartment block in Blue Velvet, for example. Electrical currents also seem to announce imminent danger or revelation, as in the stroblight effect you use constantly in Twin Peaks. Lynch: Right, exactly, right. Exactly. And what it means, I don't know. But as Lynch has said before, whatever the audience is left thinking after having watched Twin Peaks or a Lynch movie is, according to Lynch, correct. this is partly true and partly not. lynch doesn't spend time thinking about how to be lynch (or the great things he does) but he does know why he has strobing lights and what they mean to him. the thing is, if he told the interviewer what they meant, then that's it. nobody will look at those strobing lights or electricity failure in any other way.

deutsche elektronische musik 2 - experimental german rock and electronic music 1972-83: exactly what it says on the label, gorgeous 2 disc set of crazy warm electronic synth treated rock muzik. think along the lines of can, neu! and krafwerk as well as some guys who were probably just two doors down the studio where the likes of peter thomas was doing his library treatments. in fact, this is kinda similar to that parry compilation public-info put out last year except it occasionally takes detours into different directions like pastal folk (like on 'in a sacred manner' by gila) or new age ('Ja Sie Sollen Gottes Kinder Heissen Agnus Dei' by popol vuh). and when things go library, they discard the cheesy disco and plug in the heavy psych rock. also worth noting: it's well over two hours (and there are two of these in the market right now), because most of the songs like to get a really good workout, and to be honest, so does your brain.

i went to one of his shows in brooklyn. he had his back to the audience during the entire set. people were shouting "turn around" so they could see him. he eventually walked off looking pretty pissed off.

denise crosby gave up her star trek gig because she (supposedly) wasn't getting enough screen time. years later, she's doing this. note to self: denise crosby would make a wonderful dominatrix
