I had been listening to Tom Waits' LP Frank's Wild Years yesterday so last night I flicked on Wayne Wang's 1995 film Smoke - that film has a fantastic coda played out to Innocent When You Dream, one of the great Tom Waits songs, featuring an eerie carnival refrain, and a woozy multi-tracked vocal by Waits... The clip below is from Smoke... if you havn't seen the film, it won't mean much, but if you have, here's another chance to savour one of Cinema's sweetest endings... Smoke (The end) - YouTube |

Listening to some Stone Roses in anticipation of trying to get tickets to the reunion shows! Sometimes, dead is better |

Another fantastic document from the UK noise rock scene, Fall of Because is an early prototype of Godflesh and is essential listening for fans - a lot of ideas from the Life Is Easy LP would turn up in another form on later Godflesh albums, especially Pure which included a Fall of Because track melded with a Godflesh number... Fall of Because - Survive - YouTube |
I've been listening to tons of 80s music as I've started a new blog/podcast which is basically me making mixtapes of said music. It's generally more obscure that what people might expect, covering Italo Disco, Sythpop, Darkwave, New Wave, Electro. Phuricorp and Neo Technoir presents... Stuff like the following: Crazy Gang (Claudio Simonetti) - Every Sunday CRAZY GANG - Every Sunday (1983) - YouTube Grauzone - Film 2 GRAUZONE - Film 2 (remastered) - official video - YouTube Bad Baby - Promenade Bad Baby - Promenade - YouTube Shock Therapy - X-Ray House Shock Therapy - X-Ray House - YouTube |

Anyone catch the two hours of Neil Young on BBC4 Friday night - I really enjoyed it. The doc was pretty good, pity it wasn't longer and the gig from '71 was fantastic... Definitely we need a good solid Neil Young film along the lines of No Direction Home - what with the breadth of Young's styles over the years and his films like the very weird Human Highway with Devo and the 1972 avant-concert film Journey Through the Past... Neil Young - Old Man - YouTube |
Currently spinning the new Ryan Adams & Janes Addiction albums! Both of which come highly recommended! |

Who is that on the video Pete? The link doesn't work for me and you never gave it a title. cheers!:cool: |

It was Atmosphere by Joy Division. |
Thanks for that. Good band that Joy Division. Actually that reminds me of something Peter Hook once said. He was asked (in an interview) who the laziest member of New Order was and his answer was Ian Curtis, as he hadn't done nothing for years! |

I never used to like Joy Division but I've started to appreciate them over the last year or so. I love New Order, they're possibly my favourite band. |

I had the pleasure of seeing Peter Hooks band Monaco followed by headliners New Order at the Reading Festival in either 98 or 99, can't remember which. Both were really entertaining, especially New Order who had the whole field singing along, highlight of the festival for me, by far. Plus Peter Hook produced the excellent Elephant Stone single by The Stone Roses so he'll do for me. I think another watch of 24 Hour Party People is in order Sometimes, dead is better |

My favourite garage punk band.THE OBLIVIANS - What's The Matter Now - YouTube |
Listening to Miles Davis' dark masterpiece Bitches Brew.... Great playing by Miles and the ensemble, and a fantastic groundbreaking production by Teo Macero... Love that moment in Collateral where one of the hits remembers seeing him play... I mean, everybody and their momma knew you don't just come up and talk to Miles Davis. I mean, he may have looked like he was chilling, but he was absorbed. This one hip couple, one of them tried to shake his hand one day. And the guy says, "Hi, my name is..." Miles said, "Get the fu*k outta my face, you jive motherfu*ker, and take your silly bitch with you." http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ewGatefold.jpg |
2 Attachment(s) (I feel like I'm swamping the music thread lately but I tend to listen to stuff all day at work so that might explain it) Making my way thru a mammoth box set collection of film music composed by Toru Takemitsu. There's a wide array of styles across the 6 discs - orchestral, jazz, tape and electronic music. Scores include Pitfall, Woman of the Dunes, Empire of Passion, Ran and the extraordinary suite of musique concrete composed for Kwaidan - probalby the scariest music ever composed for a Horror film. The collection is long since out of print in Japan but it is out there, and well worth seeking out... |
Lovely box set Wes :) I had the best of CD of his film scores, but that's something else completely. Hunting cap placed on head :nod: |
"Good for What Ails You:Music of the Medicine Shows 1926-1937" A mind melting collection of novelty songs, jug bands, stove pipe players and minstrels, both black and white in blackface. Worth tracking down for the booklet that comes with the cd, alone. Some of the minstrel photos are quite shocking yet oddly, have a certain nostalgia for me as they summon memories of TV in the 1970s. "Beard of Stars". Tyrannosaurus Rex. Pixie boy Marc straps on an electric guitar and starts to cut down his dippy hippy, fairy forest, folk music. Minutemen:"Double Nickels on the Dime". |

I've recently been listening to the 2011 remaster of Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. I'm not really a fan of the latter PF but the Syd Barrett stuff is awesome. |
