Seconded, those two (or three, in the case of the Baroque cycle) are incredible and such wonderfully drawn worlds that you can lose yourself in for weeks. Never read any Atwood (I'm a terrible Canadian apparently), but I'm really looking forward to it after all the positive mentions in this thread.

Love "The Futurological Congress" by Stanislaw Lem, also helps that it walks the line perfectly between innovative ideas/observations and laugh-out-loud humour while maintaining an unflagging pace throughout.

The opening sequence of "Inferno" is so dreamlike and haunting...really great stuff and inimitable Argento.

Thanks for the rundown...Persian Surgery Dervishes is one of my single favourite Riley moments.

How is the excerpted reissue performance? I've been considering picking that up.

Which Terry Riley? I just picked up the Percurama Percussion Ensemble / Paul Hillier version of "In C" and can't wait to check it out.

Gotta love work: Junior Boys / So This Is Goodbye Majella O'Donnell / At Last The Clipse / We Got The Remix Geoff Berner / The Wedding Dance Of The Widow Bride Type O Negative / Dead Again Various / The A-Team Soundtrack (Makes me want to leap over my desk and into an armoured van) DJ Green...

They don't sound like that at all, have no fear. Try "You Fail Me" which, midway through, switches gears from wonderfully distorted hardcore into bizarre creaking balladry, complete with decaying tape and crackling campfire noises. "Jane Doe" is the ferocious bear to "You Fail Me"'s stealthy...

Converge on the other hand...

CocoRosie is the perfect example of having to forcibly forget everything you know about the group and just listen to their music as is. That's why I have no problem whatsoever with Ms. Newsome. Lovely, hypnotic music...and her personality isn't nearly as abrasive as most of the people here are...

Guess I might as well get in the spirit of things and post as well: Frank N Dank / Xtendedplay Version 3.13 B-Legit & Lil Sisco / Gorilla Grindin Red Foxx / For President Zozobra / Harmonic Tremors Fela Kuti / Confusion/Gentleman Silvia Perez Cruz & Ravid Goldschmidt / LLama

God bless Eyehategod...4 minutes of feedback, 2 minute song, 3 minutes closing feedback. One of my favourite bands of all time.

Just watched "Little Dieter..." (part of that glorious set) and apparently Herzog influenced Dieter's story quite a bit, suggesting visual comparisons (the jellyfish) and certain ideas (the opening and closing of his door) to him. He views his documentaries more as a collaboration than a...

"Late Spring" by Yasajuro Ozu. Incredibly beautiful, every shot is framed perfectly. The more I see of his work, the more I'm amazed by the man's artistry. "Tokyo Story" also comes highly recommended. I always enjoy writers/directors who work consistently with the same repertoire of actors...

Ah, perfect. That makes much more sense. Thanks!

In "Outta Town Shit" by Ghostface on "More Fish" there's a line: "You gotta be on your Grizzly, if not then you might get pideeled" I understand Grizzly, but pideeled? Is that just a misheard lyric on lyric sites?

...and I'm with you on this, but don't know quite how I feel about it :)

For a truly hilarious exploitation outing, I'd reccomend "Amazon Jail" (from the maestro responsible for "Bare Behind Bars". Much tamer, the girls mostly just sit around and complain while nude and occasionally rub up against each other/the occasional hairy man, but the flick's entirely worth...

Anybody seen the Sergio Corbucci flick "Hellbenders"? How does it compare?

Read his "Making Of The English Working Class" last year and feel in love with both his style and approach. Anyone read his Blake book? He touches on Blake quickly in MotEWC, but not extensively and I was curious to know what his full-length appraisal of B was like.
