Listener comments!
9:05am : wow, great lead track!9:07am : back...was saying Ear Wax is pretty good, a bit pricey though sometimes for now CDs. That bookstore BookThug is pretty decent. I hear about a few new shops in Bushwick but haven't been yet. That was another trip I'm gonna do soon. Matter of battling on the Jackie Robinson!9:09am : Good morning, Bob. Nice to be listening "live" for a change.9:10am : Hey. good morning all!9:11am : and no snow here at all yet but looks a bit wettish from earlier🥁 9:11am : great start to a saturday. enjoying oatmeal with the show9:13am : duke, you just decided what I'm having for breakfast. Cheers!9:14am : wow a Sly Stone box..didn't know that was out. Crazy. I'm still trying to figure out how to afford the Wilson Pickett box!🥁 9:16am : @mike add raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, dried cranberries = breakfast feast with hot coffee9:17am : I'm allegedly Type 2 now...so have zen breakfast: plain cheerios, almond milk, one slice vegan cheese and coffee. now that's spare9:18am : Sinsemilla & Beer... Breakfast of Brainenites!9:18am : think i'll do honey walnuts cinnamon maybe cranberries, maybe raw cashews9:18am : oatmeal is good though9:19am : Mike, they're saying chance of some snow Sunday more than today....I think9:20am : Man, i tried watching The Killer Inside Me 2010 last night, what a terrible movie...so over the top violent even I had to turn it right off. That never happens🥁 9:21am : I saw The Killer Inside Me listed on Netflix. I was wondering if it was any good.9:25am : It's like..hell. So disturbing it's beyond belief. But otherwise a terrible film..not well made, it's just like, bad. I wouldn't bother. Violence doesn't usually phase me but this was like awful.9:26am : A lot of new directors seem to feel they have to show everything graphically....thus misunderstanding what a film is. If we wanted a snuff film we would buy one.🥁 9:28am : I think I'll pass on it then.9:29am : I might reread the novel it's prob. a better idea anyway. That's disturbo too, but nothing like this awful film. I hear the early version with STacy Keach isn't that good either but not as graphic, I'm sure9:32am : "Beat Girl"!!! Yay! Good Morning all!9:35am : I still don't know Asphalt Jungle..gonna go get that later and watch that for sure.9:37am : Lovecraftdude - we're closing in on an inch of snow here. still comin' down9:37am : now it's getting dark again here a bit but no snow..weird9:41am : ordered up Asphalt Jungle from library here..woohoo I watched Only God Forgives last month..that's ultraviolent too but also not a great film..it's ok. Even DRIVE is ultraviolent in spots but not that bad...I mean it is...but cartoonish almost9:41am : I'm a major hardboiled fan of any kind...but when you've got a guy beating Jessica Alba's face in it gets a bit much9:42am : goshdarnit this is another box set I meant to get ages ago..I really really need to buy it9:44am : there's some record show on LI tomorrow..half tempted to attend just to try to find a copy of that!9:45am : wow everybody must've partied up last night..nobody around!9:50am : partying is no excuse. SmokinJ made it, and he's still goin'!9:52am : And I got up at 3:30 CST and shoveled snow! :)9:52am : I watched "Pusher 2" last week (same director as Drive, etc.). Thought it was excellent. Looking forward to checking out Pusher 3 next. (1 was also good)9:53am : far out. looks to be more rain over here today...Pusher 2? Is that Refn also? had no idea. He's a very strange duck Refn but I loved DRIVE, not so much OGForgives9:54am : amp talk! more amp talk!9:56am : that's funny. i had love's made a fool of you going through my head at 5:30 this morning.9:56am : ah ok he did a a whole trilogy of those..I have to see #1 then. I just know Drive and OGF so far. Ha, the amp action...I haven't even had time to play guitar recently...I will soon though9:57am : tom rush was up here in the hudson valley a few years ago at a community college and i should have gone. 'driving wheel' is a fantastic song. 'a childs song' as well.9:58am : I put Pusher #1 on order too...library here doesn't have it for some absurd reason they have every other film9:59am : jeezus how many Miles Davis box sets are there?? good lord!9:59am : great show bob. do you know the short films of ray and charles eames? elmer berstein wrote some nice music for these films. 'toccata for toy trains', 'powers of ten', and 'tops' are my favorites. try youtube9:59am : haven't seen OGF yet, but heard horrible things from reliable sources. Bronson is worth checking out. Valhalla Rising is interesting but requires some patience.10:01am : OGF is not great...pretty awful really...it looks good, I like some of it, but mainly just not great. I wanted to love it...couldn't. Kristen S. Thomas though...wow she's scary! But not a good film really. oh well. yeah Bronson I have to see at some point.10:14am : I think Dr Jackle was a buddy of Miles' IIRC. Maybe even a dentist like his dad10:15am : @glenn no amps today, but I will be taking my first crack at Logic Pro10:19am : Yo La Tengo!10:19am : what kind of music you guys do?10:19am : Or maybe I dreamed that. Perhaps a Jackie McLean ref. No clue in my liner notes10:20am : I might go buy that mini Vox night Train amp thing also...just for a portable solution I'm def gonna get one10:21am : I used to use my Magix Samplitude Pro on here for tons of archiving and things...I haven't had to use it lately, but it's great10:24am : I have Cakewalk Studio also...it's great but I just haven't been doing that much stuff with all that of late...was too busy moving and all that nonsense arghh10:26am : I've been using Reaper but havent really done much with it. Should do new songs but somehow haven't had any inspiration for it.10:29am : I'm working on recording some old songs of mine that never made it to tape. Also producing a friend of mine who writes amazingly honest songs.10:32am : kewl! now it's snowing sleeting here...oh well10:36am : OGF is pretty terrible10:37am : "existential viking movie" - Yes, and yes. I think you pronounced his name correctly, as well10:38am : I really can't get interested in ultra violence if that's all there is; I need some gratuitous sex in the mix.10:40am : @otto - don't forget the MilkPlus10:40am : Killer Inside Me it's integral to the plot but it's just when you take a novel like that and show things that graphically, no art at all to it, it's unwatchable. Plus it's just badly done otherwise...and the sound mix was the worst I've heard in ages.10:45am : My prime example is ALIEN...which had violence and gross outs but so brief,....quick quick cuts...and it's over. etc.10:46am : another bad review of it: ecstatictext.blogspot.com...10:49am : I think this review is pretty spot-on.10:52am : Hi Bob you got the best show man. Im going to make a request . theres this song I heard on a Honiemooners episode, the huckel buck. I never herd it in its entirety. if you could play it in the future I would be greatfull. tanks , Jess10:55am : my buddy writes that blog basically for me and about 5 other people. Him and the New Yorker are my main sources for movie reviews.10:56am : looks like a good one10:57am : I was doing film reviews for Film Forward.com for a couple of years but that guy doesn't pay writers...he was a bit deceiving so...I scrapped it10:57am : long weekend...I wish10:58am : anyway guys...gotta run for now...good chatting and great show Bob!! bit of a wet weekend it appears so far....11:01am : stay dry, LCD88810:51am : "many heist movies seem to be about heists that have gone wrong" - too funny!!! Love your show.
