You Go Girl!

To Feel Embraced | Temporary Residence Ltd. | 2020 | After years of producing & mentoring slews of young artists in 1990s Williamsburg, Brooklyn, William Basinski moved to LA. There he hired a young studio assistant, Preston Wendel, who eventually introduced his own works to the curious composer. That spawned a creative partnership that inspired Wendel to persuade Basinski to haul out his saxophone. 5 years later, Sparkle Division arrived with their debut album, "To Feel Embraced" | * | 0:00:00 (Pop-up) | |||

The Hotel Clerk
|
A Night In Casablanca | 1946 | The original storyline for the film was intended to be a direct parody of "Casablanca," with the characters having similar-sounding names to the characters and actors in the 1942 film. Groucho Marx has said that an early draft named his character "Humphrey Bogus", a reference to the leading actor in Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart. Warner Bros. did not actually litigate, or even threaten to litigate, but it did issue a formal inquiry to the Marx Brothers concerning the plot and script of the film. The Marx Brothers exploited the situation for publicity, making it appear to the public that a frivolous lawsuit was in the works, and Groucho sent several open letters to Warner Bros. to get newspaper coverage. These letters were among those he donated to the Library of Congress, and he reprinted them in his book, "The Groucho Letters," which he published in 1967. | 0:00:59 (Pop-up) | |||||

You Are My Sunshine
|
Bloodline (tv series) | No one knows for sure who actually wrote the original version of "You are my Sunshine." Claims have been made that an unnamed woman in South Carolina wrote the song, while other claims state that a country singer by the name of Oliver Hood was the composer. Paul Rice who made the 2nd known recording of the song with his brother, also claimed to be the composer. He later sold the song to Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell, who have become the accepted writers of the song, even though they actually bought it from Rice. Jimmie Davis did make a recording of the song in 1940 and it became instantly popular, although there were two groups that earlier had recorded the song in 1939. Paul Rice and his brother, and prior to them The Pine Ridge boys recorded the song. Regardless it was Davis and Mitchell who ended up getting credit for the songs lyrics, and Davis made the most of the song’s popularity using it when he ran for Governor of Louisiana both in 1944 and again in 1959. | 0:14:36 (Pop-up) | ||||||

Myth Of Equilibrium | Editions Mego | 2020 | “All the track titles on Myth of Equilibrium are about white blood cells engulfing and destroying illnesses in our body,” says C. Lavender, “and our body trying to be healthy.” Wellness is important to Lavender: she’s a certified sound healer. In her world, music and health overlap. Lavender discovered sound healing with the help of legendary composer, academic, and musician Pauline Oliveros./ Myth of Equilibrium is a contemplation on the difficulty of maintaining a healthy mental and physical state. “There’s always something tugging at us,” Lavender says, “whether it’s our health or stresses. It’s hard to find peace at any given time.” Myth of Equilibrium was recorded in a geodesic dome, using binaural microphones to simulate the way sound is naturally experienced in human ears. | * | 1:30:00 (Pop-up) | |||

Extras (tv series) - Season 2 Episode 2 | Ricky Gervais | 2006 | episode written by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant / Clifford Slapper was “the hands” of Bowie that day, playing a piano off-camera to which he mimed his own playing. The lyrics (written by Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant) had been sent to Bowie in NY. He was asked to write chords to the song and bring them over. The producer, Charlie Hanson, asked Slapper to do likewise, in case Bowie declined to do so. From Clifford: "On meeting, Bowie asked me what chords I had come up with. They were virtually identical. “Spooky,” he said. The off-camera banter between Gervais and Bowie had everyone in stitches. At one point Bowie left the room and Gervais suggested it would be funny if he and I perform Lady Stardust for Bowie to hear when he came back in. Bowie appeared delighted and astonished to hear this upon his return. He retaliated by running over from his piano to mine, saying: “Watch this!” and playing his piano intro to Oh! You Pretty Things." | 2:12:13 (Pop-up) | ||||

Vacancy

Homegrown | Reprise | 2020 | orig recorded across 1974 and 1975, his 1975 album "Homegrown" was never issued after Young, deciding it was too personal, shelved the 12-track LP 45 years ago. The project was recorded at his Broken Arrow Ranch Studio and features organist Stan Szelest, lap slide player Ben Keith, bassist Tim Drummond and drummer Karl T. Himmel. "Homegrown" was originally intended to appear between Young’s albums "Harvest" and "Comes a Time," and he later described it as “the unheard bridge” between the two. “I apologize,” Young said earlier this year. “This album Homegrown should have been there for you a couple of years after "Harvest." It’s the sad side of a love affair. The damage done. The heartache. I just couldn’t listen to it. I wanted to move on. So I kept it to myself, hidden away in the vault, on the shelf, in the back of my mind … but I should have shared it. It’s actually beautiful. That’s why I made it in the first place. Sometimes life hurts. You know what I mean.” He added: “This is the one that got away. This album, in vinyl, displays the beauty, feeling and depth of music recorded in the analog domain, before digital. It’s the perfect example of why I can’t forget how good music used to sound.” Along with a “great band” of his friends, "Homegrown" features guest appearances by Levon Helm and Emmylou Harris. | * | 2:55:25 (Pop-up) | |||

What are you all up to this Sunday?
My drama group is meeting today in an empty house for a three-day-and-night workshop. First time after lockdown with regular Skype sessions. We are working on our own production on the topics closeness and distance, in the physical and emotional sense. I won't be able to join them but will be included via Skype. It'll be interesting. This music is spot on for the mood.

Originally shown on the Sci Fi Channel in the UK, The Movie Network in Canada and Showtime in the United States, the series was broadcast from 1997 to 2000, and is internally organized into two seasons. Each episode was based around an independent story introduced by the host; Terence Stamp hosted each episode for the first season, and was replaced in the second season by David Bowie. Stories tended to focus on themes of self-destructive desire and obsession, with a strong component of soft-core erotica; popular tropes for the stories included cannibalism, vampires, sex, and poison.
