Closed Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

All those Lost & Found video collections are great. Didn't we discuss them here before?

I just forwarded your question about the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to a friend of mine in Austin who's familiar with the film/video scene there. I'll let you know what he says.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think so. I picked up two at Quimby's when I was there. One is Serge Gainsbourg's full-length video for Melody Nelson.

The other is the rare sixties mod film Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush.

I'm tempted to get this one too...

LOST & FOUND VIDEO NIGHT VOL. 5 - A 5 MINUTES TO LIVE EXCLUSIVE! A veritable treasure trove of bizarre, hilarious, jaw dropping and just plain amazing video clips you will not see ANYWHERE else. Featuring a dancing Mexican midget; the worst stand up comedian ever; warped religious teachings; rare musical footage of The Clean, The Barbarians, Leslie Gore, Roland Kirk, Os Mutantes, and To Live and Shave in L.A.; insane Indian disco; found home movies; Pat Boone losing his wig on live TV; weird commercials; Ronald & Nancy Regan discussing their heroin & crack cocaine habit; and much, much more. Running at a packed 90 minutes, this brain numbing dose of certifiable weirdness is a must see for anyone interested in amazing, entertainment! 90 min.

Os Mutantes, Roland Kirk, The Clean and insane Indian Disco? It's intriguing.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I got the new Tori album. I need another listen before I can comment, but that I like it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have iTunes on shuffle, and I discovered a fabulous segue:

Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio) -- from the Miles Davis [and Gil Evans, on this disc] Complete Columbia Recordings

------->

Oh Me Oh My (I'm A Fool For You) -- Aretha Franklin

I'm serious. They just *work.*

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio)

From Sketches of Spain, I'm pretty sure. I can see how that would work.

Yup. It's so fucking gorgeous.

Yeah, that whole record is a classic. I think Betsy would like it. Grace Slick was listening to it when she wrote "White Rabbit" incidentally.

Huh. That makes sense.

I love finding out stuff like that. On the literary plane, halfway through writing Wise Blood Flannery O'Connor's friends forced King Lear on her, which she'd never read before. You can really tell.
