a letter from Sidrel Mundet “Following is the first part of an essay I’ll be writing in short segments concerning Planet of the Apes, avant-garde theatre etc. There are four nice stills here that are obvious juxtapositions showing the influence of Kurosawa.

by Warm Jet on 30. Dec, 2007 in general, music, politics, Sunday Morning

Apologies to Jacob for busting in before the new year but …damn, I just could’nt resist after the Dr. mentioned this Mavis Lp.

The current touring band is, from what I [...]

Futurama Song #3 Bill Nelson from the dappy lookin’ rocker(a la Duane Eddy) to the electronic period then on to some ambient work. I’ve found there’s gems on all lp’s yet, for me, it’s pick and choose on each. I believe this was a semi hit for Be Bop deluxe. he’s not to be ignored. [...]

“Memphis Soul Stew” King Curtis & The Kingpins (Live) The great King Curtis in his prime–live in 1971. Only band that could make Booker T and the MG’s sweat…. “And now we need a pound of fatback drums.”
