to call certain old Vinyl a true bohemian, avant-guarde classic is really going overboard on any album...
unless it's this one. NICO, that dark German angel, h3h, it's her last one with the band & it makes no difference,
this is the standard for the guts & glory of sex, drugs & rock n roll.
I mean, it was OFF the SCALE to have a song about S & M in 1967 no matter how much free love, Bondage, whips n chains were in vogue from SOHO to the basements of the Haight-Ashbury^_* + the classic Andy Warhol Banana cover art

Another subtle, depressing work of magic from
{film buffs notice Cannes Festival award}

...maybe thier cover of "Sister Ray" by the Velvet Underground says more about their dirge of melancholy genius than anything I can come up with.

The Olivia Tremor Control [under-rated unique musicians, check 'em out sometime]
I didn't get to see her dance with that addict genius beat poet William S. Burroughs;
to experience that + her visuals & tunes in all their glory,
u gotta find the rare vid/dvd
of her "Home of the Brave" live-concert + film performance.
{more for ye film buffs... in Wenders' uber-artistic film "Wings of Desire" she created the ambient "Angel Noises" that flow with the film's black n white atmospheric mood}
..after they were the incredibly influential Joy Division, brilliant lead singer Ian Curtis hung himself because of seizures & possible divorce from wife Deborah, but no one really knows.. his influences were some of the coolest, genius freaks of the era: writer/addict William S. Burroughs and J G Ballard as well as legends Jim Morrison, Iggy Pop and Bowie.
The band had been forced to change their original name WARSAW due to a name conflict with another band & finally switched it to New Order following Curtis' death.
They became less depressed & atmospheric and changed into a heavily inventive icon of the early 80's electronica-techno dance scene-- more synth & beat,
less droning darkness.
There's a film about the band + yet a new film being produced about Ian's short, enigmatic life.
former Throbbing Gristle lead singer & all around loving/wicked/bizarre legend, Genesis P-Orridge, wanted Curtis to perform for his uniquely underground, experimental band Psychic TV, but Curtis died b4 they could pull it off. P-Orridge later said he still considered Curtis to be a member of the band, psychically.
Psychic TV wrote a song about Curtis, called I.C. Water, released as a single in 1990 & featured on the group's album 'Towards Thee Infinite Beat.'
The single featured Curtis on the cover + samples of a recording of him discussing The Velvet Underground in a pub.
{How do u top that,,, Ian Curtis talking about the Velvets, sampled by all around inventive,
androgynous icon of self-discovery, that arts & spiritual tripper Genesis P-Orridge}

Seriously, I really dig AIR's stuff-- and they just put a new EP or disc out, can't wait to hear it.

damn right I'm gonna obsess on these dudes..
if u think they're just another goth band, u might wanna know the story of how one band was THE goth icon...
,,, massives like Iggy Pop, T-Rex, Bowie, film legend Catherine Deneuve, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Interpol, CAN, Franz Ferdinand & more
were ALL inspired, influenced or involved with
Bauhuas' dark tone & sly humor;
As some dude on a review claimed
---right on target-- "Bauhaus are often credited as being the godfathers
of Gothic music, but that is probably doing them a disservice.
You won't hear this level of inventiveness in either their contemporaries
or the following gothic music [of the copycat bands]."
what do ya say in words about one band that basically represented a whole genre
& spawned style upon style of characters from pulp to anime;
Adam Gnade at www.bauhausmusik.com, tells a decent

whew... how to describe Bowie?-- do u use ur personal experiences, ur memories of great nights listenin' to his stuff over the years;
or the famous sensual stuff said by the collective great rock bands who all beheld his beauty & music?
I wonder how long the list would be if u wrote down all the great musicians + bands he influenced, & the whole direction of styles & sub-genres in sound/visuals of the emerging power of rock/pop that he changed as it then went on to change most culture on the whole planet.

ever wonder if Major Tom got it on with the spiders from Mars?
Joy Division-- or any other of the massive forces that rocked the rockers hearts & never really faded away..

he was not what u expected,, he just had this mellow "I'm no rock star" attitude, h3h---pretty amazing for such a unique genius spiritual journeyer & experimental videographer-artist to be so freakin' down to earth.

ping pong is an EP of electronica with [Joshua] Kit Clayton, a San Francisco based computer programmer & electronic musician, performing along with MPC [Matthew Patterson Curry, aka Safety Scissors]... these guys do some great, purist + true minimal techno.

These are the same Angelic sounding women that got their fame in the west "when recordings of the Bulgarian State Television + Radio Female Vocal choir reached the West in the late '80s under the name 'Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares',
a fad was sparked by the enchanting voices of some twenty women."
That name 'Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares' translates to 'The Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria'
from a review: "the unusual singing techniques and strangely sexy
dissonances was a pleasant surprise to music listeners abroad.
The Bulgarian Women's Choir Angelite ("The Angels") continues this style of Bulgarian music for Western ears, and their album VOICES OF LIFE is mainly a series of Voix Bulgares staples."
...it's real-- I bought a copy of 'The Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria' & it was pretty much what I'd imagine some Angels might sound like if they booked a show down on Earth.
h3h,, they toured America in the 90's & I experienced their
gig in San Francisco-- it was one gorgeous, transcendent gig.

I gotta steal some descriptive words from Epitonic.com for this one, they're just too heart + folk-wise for my words to do justice
((Epitonic kicks ass for gettin' turned onto bands & various dudes they've jammed with b4 or after, a damn good FREE site dedicated to REAL alt music fans.]
->simply put, "Songs:Ohia is the Americana country sound of alt rock." Jason Molina is the center of the Songs:Ohia tunes ["The second part of the name is an allusion to both the Hawaiian tree ‘Ōhi‘a lehua and Molina's home state of Ohio.."].. The Songs:Ohia thang morphed into Molina's group: Magnolia Electric Company.

their infamous rabbitt costumes must be too cool in concert,, & it doesn't get much better than these folks in any pseudo-g33k way.

love the minimal roughness of MIRAH's album artwork; as good as her music.

b3yond the "keys" that pianos/synth & keyboard players have pluck'd for centuries now... _ Several simultaneous performers share complete control over
the instrument by moving physical objects
on a luminous table surface.
By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies,
with generators, filters and modulators,
in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language."
The instrument's developed by a team of digital "luthiers" (Sergi Jordà, Martin Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger and Marcos Alonso)

welly well my Little Droogies, a bit of the old ultraviolence ala Kubrick.
that Orwellian paranoid & all too real future-vision from Monty Python animator-turned-director Terry Gilliam who also did The Brother's Grimm, Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King, & lots more-- including his surreality for "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with Johnny Depp as that iconoclastic, psychedelic reporter Hunter S. Thompson, may he rest in chemically altered-peace}.
V... pretty much says it all^_-

sh!t, this is definitely one hardcore movie,
a film with smarts, guts, harsh freakin' storyline & a great cast.

created by the same screenplay writer who wrote "Adaptation". it was directed by that dreamy music French video guru Michel Gondry, who went bigtime with serious amazing films after his cool, inventive videos caught the attention of Björk, who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behavior". The collaboration proved long-lasting, with Gondry directing 6 music videos for her.
Other artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion:
The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, and Kylie Minogue. He also created some television commercials and
even pioneered the "bullet time" techniques of "The Matrix" notably in his "Like A Rolling Stone" video for the Stones, and a '98 commercial for Smirnoff vodka, as well as directing a trio of cool holiday-themed commercials for The Gap.
He won an Academy Award alongside Adaptation's writer Charlie Kaufman and Pierre Bismuth for the story of Eternal Sunshine.
(( h3h, he directed Chappelles' Block Party too ))
latest otherworldly Earth by the dude who directed "Pi"... is this art or what?

It's one of the best environmental & sensual trips u can experience if u love artistic imagery.
a nice touch are the names the filmmaker Ron Fricke choose for each project: Baraka "an ancient Sufi word, translated as a blessing or as the essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds"..
& his breakthrough film that started the series,
Koyaanisquatsi... a Hopi native Indian word meaning "Life out of Balance," all about the crazy, frenetic realm us humans have built in our rat race that crushes the natural & spiritual environment without & within.

"Yeah, I saw Run Lola Run...3 Times"
heh, if u never saw it, the film repeats the same story as
3 movies in sequence that all show repeated versions from different aspects of the same storyline
...Fritz Lang's 1920's rare, future-shock. L.A. Confidential... intense film, with another great cast.
ye original Sexy Robot from that ole black & white, revolutionary sci-fi-political classic of the slave-labor of the masses from 80 years ago...
not to mention the amazing way early-legendary director Fritz Lang managed to create artistic integrity in times when sci-fi movies usually had idiotic effects--it kicks mucho classic-film ass.



another Coppolla masterpiece: when his wife filmed "Hearts of Darkness" [the documentary of this film whose title puns the film's reference], she explored & revealed the insane sh!t that went down while the film was being made near S. East Asia, mostly the Philippines.
Among bizarre events like Martin Sheen's heart attack during filming, is a harsh self-reflecting moment by Francis Coppolla in which, late during the project, he honestly admits that he feels his film is basically a faliure-- "a piece of sh!t" [I think those are actually his exact words].
Pretty amazing self criticism from the film that set a new standard of reality & depth for filmmaking of war movies, from the realism of the daily psychological fear & confusion of the army personnel, to the confusion of the chain of command & it's toll on innocent life, to the hardcore view into the heart of a commander who'd seen too much of "the horror."
the use of music like Hendrix & acid trips & the Playboy Playmate striptease for the troops just showed the hilarious insanity of wars delivered to us by the hierarchy marlarkey.
I guess the synchronicity that tells it best was this-- a REAL event that happened during the filmmaking one day: Coppolla needed lots of helicopter-gunships to fly into the scene & battle against groundtroops; so the movie-magic-making special-fx crew spent hours--or maybe days--setting up all the expensive explosions that were to be blown when the helicopters reached the battle set & fired rockets, etc.
.. so what went down? Well, it was filmed in the Philippines with help from the Philippino goverment, probly to give it a real Vietnam-ish, Asian world look/feel.
...And the Philippino government is where all the battle-helicopters were rented, etc.
yet in absolut insane war karma, the Philippinos were also fighting a REAL tho perhaps small civil war in the southern area or somewhere far from Coppolla's movie setting.
so after days of prep work & all the complex, expensive explostion-gear placed by the special-fx guys, the scene begins--- lots of REAL, battle scarred helicopters start flying into view for one fo the biggest budgeted battle scenes perhaps of the time in movie-costs;
then, as the special-fx guys start detonating the carefully placed explosives & all the army-actors are going thru their fighting scenes, the helicopters just turned aruond & left without even finishing half the scene... Coppolla & crew had just lost perhaps a half MILLION bucks & days of prep time for a complete waste.
.. but the darker scenario of war reared it's ugly head: just as the Philippino helicopter captains were flying-in to shoot Coppolla's massive battle scene, they LITERALLY got an emergency radio-overide-call from Philippine headquarters ordering them to immediately reverse course due to the fact that they were needed in the REAL civil war raging across other areas of the Philippines.
how can one movie have so many karmic events, whew.
So, if u like Coppolla's Godfather trilogy or this film or any others, make DAMN sure u see the documentary of that film by his wife called "Hearts of Darkness" that tells all these bizarre tales of what really went down BEHIND the scenes.

This is about as curvy & gutsy as Spielberg has ever gotten.
MUNICH '72.. terrorist hit squads, revenge, the cost of revenge,
land, religious + political cold war alliances..
and in the end, a genious touch of ambiguity that makes u think



can't help diggin' Johnny Depp as Edward or any other character;)

2001 before we reached 2001 ... whew: Kubrick, Clarke + HAL.
half the critics thought it was crap, the others thought it was brillinat & decades b4 it's time.
My favorite was the critic who proclaimed that 2001 as a film "would be the death of Kubrick"--as an up an coming director--- I wonder how embarassed that critic feels whenever anyone reminds him of probly the most off-target, foolish prediction in film history;)
I was real let down by the sequal, 2010, tho it was indeed cool to see the original star[child] portrayed by the same actor: Keir Dullea, man that was seriously cool... and even the original voice of HAL: that spookily cold awesome voice of actor Douglas Rain.
Also, I decided to give 2010 less bashing when I thought about something unique in their special effects when Dave Bowman (Kier Dullea), lost/missing for all the years since 2001 suddenly appears like a matter-of-fact-ghost & tries to communicate to the main character just what is going on; in that scene, we see different special fx scenes of human forms--- a baby (yeah, they had to do the star child from the original film, h3h), other forms & of course Bowman as an ancient looking 90 year old dude...
and not until weeks later, did it strike me: this was symbolic that the mysterious "MONOLITH" advanced aliens were creating a life-sustaining moon near Jupiter by taking Jupiter, a huge hot planet, into a sort-of dwarf star & by using millions of similar MONOLITHS to implode it into this odd "white dwarf-like" star, meaning it would be in perfect position to give life sustaining energy, just like our sun, to one of the moons of Jupiter which had very basic, undeveloped life (like big slugs;-).
since this moon was sooo far from our solar system's inner area where we receive enough sun-warth/radiation to support life, the aliens had achieved their massive experiment to collapse Jupiter into a tiny star that would yeild the energy that would then turn a frozen moon's life from a an almost deaed ice-world with only "slug" life-- into an Earth type planet that could sustain a biosphere & other systems that would grow into a thriving living planet.
So it ended well, but the overall movie just didn't have the edgy, visionary, artistic genius of 2001's director Kubrick, and this 2010 ended up as just a good but certainly not GREAT sci-fi film.
to top it all off, the book publishers had been hounding Authur C. Clarke for decades after the original success of 2001 to keep writing sequels, and I think his heart just wasn't in it----tho I read 2010 and I gotta say, it wasn't bad at all.

Look into the others eyes, many frustrations
Read between the lines, no words just vibrations
Don't ignore hidden desires
Pay attention, you're playing with fire
Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
The time has come to learn, that silence ...
Silence must be heard
Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
Cause silence has the right to be heard
People talk too much for what they have to say
Words without a meaning, just fading away
Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
The time has come to learn, that silence ...
Silence must be heard
Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
Cause silence has the right to be heard
PEACE LOVE LIGHT ZOI~

Once a year, the serpent Vouivre leaves her guarded treasure to drink and wash herself. The door to the treasure cave then opens up. Anyone who dare venture can bring out anything, IF the serpent does not kill him in the chase. On one of these nights, Louise brings her little son up to the cave after the sign from a dream. Louise is discovered by the serpent and separated from her son -- for an entire year. Her son is in the cave, just a door away from Louise. In the end, she rescues her son and they bring home a big goldpiece. The fate of the Vouivre is unclear. One story tells of her being burned, the other tells of her escape from the magic power she possesses.
The Vouivre is an enormous female beast with shining green scales which gives off a low and strange musical sound as she flies. She wears a crown of pearls and a gold circlet on her tail which also ring. But most strange of all is her dragon's head with its one great and glowing ruby eye. This luminouse orb she removes when she bathes, making herself blind for just those minutes.
The Vouivre dwells in a cave and can breathe fire. It guards the treasure and devours people who come to stealth the treasure.
Peace love and light
Hope all is well ROB
