Funny nobody mentioned The Krays Had one or two good scenes with the Spandau boys, espec. the one in the pool hall. Ouch. The first half of Performance was great, once he reaches Jagger it goes quickly downhill, except for the Memo From Turner bit. Early music video? The Hit was great, as...

Gimme More More More It's a great subject, because I definitely suffer from compulsive collectitis. BlissBlog discussed this issue a while back -- the compulsion to have as well as know everything out there. Some of this compulsion might have to be related to keeping up with a scene or ahead...

Incredibles, Well...Quite Incredible I've seen it twice and think it is probably Pixar's best - (yes, better than the Toy Story (ies) and Monster Inc.) Of course, this might be because it was written by the same guy who wrote the Iron Giant, which was also a great movie (and has never recieved...

Ballard on Repeat Mode? I'm a massive Ballard fan, have read every single thing he's written (at least every thing I can get my hands on) but it seems that he is repeating the same cycle with Millenium that he did with Cocaine Nights and Super-Cannes - The use of subversion and rebellion to...

Commodity or Enjoyment? Picked up Curtis Mayfield's Back to the Future and Sweet Exorcist LP's in mint for a $0.25 apiece at a Garage sale. Also Found: First ESG 12'' on 99 Records produced by Martin Hannett for $1 wrapped at a record store. Saw it for $100.00 at a local store. Piero...

Holger Hiller did some stuff with Wire membs I'm pretty sure Holger Hiller did some stuff with Colin Newman and Bruce Gilbert from Wire. He was Mute at the same time Wire was. I had some of his solo stuff and it was alright, synths and drum loops and stuff of the like - nothing quite...

What about Villian with Burton? Recently saw Villian (1972) with Richard Burton, Ian McShane, Nigel Davenport, Joss Ackland. Burton as a homosexual razor-wielding Kray-like crime lord. He (Burton) is massively intense, one of his best performances. You can see the roots of Long Good Friday...

Here in Chicago, Tortoise falls into the too hip to like category Tortoise, being in definition a Chicago-based band has fallen into that phase here of being too popular to be liked by the scenesters (see Smashing Pumpkins). Every little sneeze they do is covered by the local major papers and...

Here's a new topic - music to submit someone to What's the worst music you would want to submit someone to? Merzbow, NWW, TG and PTV are too easy to choose. Good start with the Toto and Midnight Oil. May I add most radio-friendly "rock" made during the late '70's and '80's -- Night Ranger...

KOD were brilliant and are very missed KOD were incredible, saw them twice in concert and Julian was able to get that guitar sound perfect. It's too bad they broke up. Their last album had some brilliant songs on it, but Love is Hell, with Third Time, Mainly Mornings, and Prize is flawless...

Swervin all over the road Started with some Behemoth Good stuff to get you going in the morning. Then settled down at work with: Even as we speak - Feral Pop Frenzy Jandek- Chair Beside A Window Tim Hecker - Mirages Paulinho Da Viola - ST Joe Gibbs - White Label Dubs Danny Krivit - Grass...

Anything by Lustmord or Diamanda Galas would do the trick. Boo spooky.

Couldn't sell Sacrilege fast enough Totally agree that Sacrilege was quite awful - pointless excercise to move a few more units and make some xtra coin. Good example of that today is the Morricone Remix discs. Title for those two should be sacrilege, indeed. Morricone is (even with the Zorn...

Jaki Liebzeit one of the best drummers ever Glad to see the forum on Can. I have been listening to a lot of their live recordings lately, Radio Waves and the live set included in the Can box set. There is also a Can DVD featuring a history of the band plus new performances of them in separate...
