HOOK IT TO MY VEINS youtu.be/kC5AzFc3coo

Saw Vertigo last night, and while I could heap a lot of praise on the direction, camera work, acting, etc, my top reaction is WOW what a score from Bernard Herrmann. Just can’t imagine the movie having the impact it does without it.

I know nobody asked me, but is anyone else noticing that supermarket bread is absolute 💩 now? I mean, SO MANY things are 💩 now, but I’m sensing a pattern on the all-purpose-loaf front, just checking if I’m alone on this. Watch this space for more crotchety consumer complaints.

#LastFourWatched Browning’s The Unknown was the revelation for me, never having seen any of his silents. So good!

Listening again. Just because I love Garbage 2.0 so much. And I always get to this song…

Dessert is served: The Velvet Underground play for the American Society of Clinical Psychiatrists at Delmonico’s in NYC. 1966.

When I was a wee boy, my dad would go to his job at IBM, and I asked, “why do you wear a tie, daddy?” and he gave the sort of answer you give to a 5 year old to hopefully satisfy their curiosity: “because I go to meetings! So I thought meetings = dress up time for adults, sounds fun!

For every “ZOMG oUr dEmOcRaTic LeAdErS SuCk 😫😫😫” post I see, I’m going to post a Harry Nilsson song. This site needs it! youtu.be/nQ4i2ZwqXao

Here’s Harry Nilsson singing Without You in Italian, in case you need something poignant youtu.be/Y6Er94DC2GM

That got me.

Playdoh Klaus Kinski. (Linda Jackobesen)

Saw True Romance at a Musci Box midnight showing… I saw it on whatever cable outlet it came out on in the 90s - or maybe a roommate had rented it, I can’t remember, but it’s so great in the theatre. The part of Elliot was made for Bronson Pinchot. Such perfect casting.

Good Whale Hunting (1997)

Waking brain: a lot of good movies playing at the second-run and repertoire theatres this weekend, but I’m old and tired Film brain:

Auditionees for the Black Hole Sun video gather for a group shot

What are some opening song pairs to albums that are greater than the sum of their parts? I’m listening to Cowboy Junkies’ Trinity Session, and that Mining for Gold > Misguided Angel sequence is just *chef’s kiss*
