people join groups b/c the members agree about issues -- or share the same orientation on issues -- that are larger than their isolated selves

yeah -- i have nothing like a unified approach to popular art, such that my approach to film in any way coheres with my approach to music again, when it comes to film i usually go for overweening ambition -- and i'm very forgiving of failure -- so long as the direction was bold, the intention grand

sadly, i'm not the least bit versed in Jean Cocteau -- definitely need to have a cocteau dvd marathon at some point!!! I'm partial to "Lone Star" -- a very intelligent treatment of the tangled legacy and social relations of southwest Texas -- well acted and well paced and a story that engages...

i haven't seen l'eclisse -- and judging from everyone's top 10 lists, that's the one to see i've rented l'avventura and the passenger, and i saw blow-up on big screen not sure if i've seen any of his other stuff but i love all that i've seen (despite my complaints about The World, i tend to...

The World also has an ending that seemed arbitrary and kinda trite -- as though the director just threw his hands up and said we're done! -- i.e., film had crossed 120 minutes by that point -- but you could also argue poetic and fitting The World is set in a theme park in Beijing that, while...

there's an excellent house version of the jeff wayne, "war of the worlds" track -- came out in 89 or thereabouts

merely confused -- sorry

that's it! -- thanks for the ID i thought this film was really excellent -- may have to rent on dvd to refresh my memory

saw Chinese film entitled "The World" this evening -- directed by Jia Zhangke -- some interesting images but on the whole kinda boring -- anybody else seen this film? even so, along w/ "Millenium Mambo" the film seems to be ushering in a kind of "Chinese film style" -- slow-moving, meditative...

he's about 30 now, supposedly so not the same guy?

according to my sources, mark one was the big tekno junglist along with guy called g, marcus da intellect, mc rush, mc shine, family foundation and umoja studios in manchester way back in the day, i.e., 91/92/93 and they had a pirate station called "frontline," which broke the jungle sound in...

editing confusion -- sorry

count me on john eden's side i think the on-u-sound stuff has aged very well have been rocking fats comet recently -- sounds incredible on a good sound system -- very hectic (merely taking the piss -- ha ha -- was recently told that "hectic" is the new word in london for "wicked") and if my...

think i'll have to take notes on everyone's list -- for future dvd rentals lots of stuff i've never heard of, let alone seen

saw this film last year -- very powerful -- seems like an allegory for our times -- what's the meaning? a civilization's loss of its will to live?

you're right, the johnny cash prison stuff is top notch not sure if i'd call it testosterone music, though agree with you on yo la tengo disagree about pixies -- though i can perhaps see where you're coming from, b/c i had the stuff, then began to loathe it and so sold it all off, and now...

first, i was mainly trying to wind people up second, in my experience dj sets that follow this fashion can be a bit boring if heard at a bar or club -- that is, i think the music works best outside, in a traditional street soundsystem environment -- which is not to say that certain djs can't...

okay -- tenth effort -- in terms of a full-length album in which he's the band leader -- if i'm STILL wrong, then correct me again! -- btw you forgot to mention Sketches in Spain in late 50s errr, i like Cocteau Twins -- especially the EARLY cocteau twins -- circa "treasure" -- but generally...

i suppose as i said, i didn't really want to talk about artists with "longevity" -- except that somebody upthread grumbled about how people always endorse the early albums by artists, but never the later ones -- and so i entered the fray -- but it's hard to think of bands with longevity aside...
