Angine de Poitrine - Sarniezz- SOTD

Angine de Poitrine ... this name is showing up all over, today I studied them more and I agree...

Microtonal duo from Quebec. Fantastic. Plus a gimmick they have, playing incognito under weird carnival masks and pointilist costumes ! It seems they are brothers and they play:

"un répertoire d'anti-aréna-rock instrumental cartonneux qui, à la manière de la musique techno, s'articule autour d'un jeu dynamique d'ajout et de retrait de motifs sonores en constante métamorphose."



Khn de Poitrine - Microtonal Guitars 

Klek de Poitrine - Drums

check out the whole KEXP concert here. 

They describe their music as: "Dada Pythago-Cubist Mantra-Rock".

Here's Rick Beato take on them

Remembering George Harrison

 George Harrison would've been 83 today....Living in the Material World...

When he died George was only 58....He became my hero in highschool with his hit album Cloud Nine (1987). I love most his stuff with The Travelling Willburys...

Now only Jeff Lynne and His Bobness still around here....

Billy Wilder homage: Adios & Ola Billy !

 Acest articol a aparut in defuncta revista art & roll in 2002. L-am republicat acum, cu ocazia intrarii filmului Anora in cinema, care mi-a adus aminte de old Billy W. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adios & Ola, Billy !


Billy nu vedea lumea in mod comic sau in mod tragic. El vedea pur si simplu LUMEA. Asa ca lumea l-a acuzat de cinism. Din acest punct de vedere, cel mai mare compliment pe care mi l-ar putea face cineva ar fi sa-mi spuna ca sunt un cinic.”

Walter Matthau-AFI 1986

Mr. Death, I’m ready for my close up”. Un ultim film, finalul film al mortii de la al carui turnaj nu poti lipsi.

Trebuia sa moara ca sa fie din nou pe “Prima pagina”. Asa mai auzim de el. Desi in ultimii ani a fost omniprezent pomenit, de 20 de ani n-a mai intrat pe un platou de filmare. 2002 este anul Billy Wilder si lumea e deja mult mai trista…

N-a mai suportat sa stea dupa ce prietenii si actorii sai, Lemmon si Matthau, fatete ale personajului Wilder, au plecat si ei de aici. Probabil ca acum stau cu totii la o parola undeva deasupra norilor si dupa cum spune titlul unui film de Lubitsch, e “Trouble in Paradise”.

Stau intr-un hotel in Sevilla si ma uit la seara omagiala de pe Arte. Pe Canal + s-a discutat in emisiunea de cinema ca despre evenimentul major, filmele sale s-au dat mereu si se dau incontinuu; doar in ultima luna pe Arte s-a nimerit “Foreign Affair” si “Viata particulara a lui Sherlock Holmes”, (ambele in seri tematice nelegate de Wilder) chiar si romanii au dat “Lost Weekend”! Oare s-a uitat Wilder la Oscarurile de acum 2 ani, cind autorii lui “American Beauty” i-au multumit in public si au recunoscut inspiratia din “Sunset Boulevard” si “Apartamentul”. Tocmai mi-au dat lacrimile pentru ca in cadru a aparut Billy, un batrinel minunat, exuberant si jovial, la fel cum mi-au dat lacrimile cind m-a sunat un prieten la 00,20 in noaptea de miercuri spre joi, 27 martie 2002 pentru a-mi da o veste pe care o asteptam, crispat, de un timp incoace. 95 de ani, o virsta previzibila pentru o plecare definitiva. Cum glumea Wilder: “Un om se duce la doctor si se plinge ca nu mai poate urina. <<Citi ani aveti>>, intreaba doctorul? <<90 de ani>>, raspunde pacientul. <<A, pai nu-i mare scofala>>il consoleaza doctorul.<< Nu credeti ca ati urinat destul pina la virsta asta?>>)

Billy vorbeste acum la televizor intr-o germana amestecata cu engleza pestrita, despre Marylin Monroe. Abia s-a terminat “Unora le place Jazz-ul”, dar l-au dat in franceza. Deh, nimeni nu e perfect. In librariile spaniole, a aparut tradusa, cartea lui Cameron Crowe, “Conversacion con Billy Wilder”, pe care am rasfoit-o si n-am cumparat-o anul trecut pe vremea asta, in Amsterdam. Personal, am mereu aceiasi problema, as fi vrut sa mai fi facut un film, doua, trei…“one, two, three”…

Am prezis acum citiva ani ca lumea se va detepta si va urla cu surle si trimbiti cind Billy va disparea complet. Pina atunci l-a inconjurat valul tacerii, al trecutului devenit prezent continuu, pina la trecerea permanenta intr-un trecut definitiv.

Abia acum 3 saptamini am reusit sa vad primul sau scenariu pus pe pelicula, “Oameni de duminica”(1927), regizat de Robert Siodmak si Edgar G. Ulmer, primul film amestec de documentar si fictiune, pasaportul lui Billy spre UFA, apoi Paris, apoi New York, apoi Hollywood.

Vienezul Billy Wilder a fost mereu legat de vechea Europa, de relicvele fostului imperiu austro-ungar, chiar de Romania. A fost prieten cu unul, I.A.L. Diamond (Izzy), totodata co-scenarist. A creat cel mai frumos personaj romanesc de pe ecran, barmanul suprarealist din “Irma La Douce”.

The Ace in the hole” al unui domeniu disfuctional (arta / industrie), care te poate face sa devii cinic, Wilder este o combinatie de Balzac (Comedia umana), Goya (Capriciile), Paganini (tot capricii), Strauss (valsuri pe Dunarea albastra) si mult espresso (italian coffee, very strong).

Sau, cum spunea Caragiale, acest anti-roman convins, “Simt enorm si vaz monstruos”. Plusez: “Nimic din ce mi-e omenesc nu mi-e strain” , “errare humanum est”, “iarna nu-i ca vara”, lui Billy i-ar fi placut poanta…

Billy traieste…aici, linga mine, in camera de hotel, unde termin sticla de Jack D’s in onoarea lui…cred ca Billy ar fi preferat Schloss Chateau o mie noua sute vara…seamana putin cu Mickey Rooney in “Principiul dominoului”, n-am mai auzit o germana mai amuzanta in viata mea… se ride, se fumeza, se bea si nu mai sunt singur demult, stau cu Billy la o sueta, el dinauntrul televizorului, eu dinauntrul pasiunilor mele. Uimitor cit este de viu si real si probabil e singura moarte care nu ma afecteaza atit de tare in mod real, pentru ca Billy s-a retras din 1982. Viata e trista, viata se termina la un moment dat. Modelul perfect: sa fii, sa vezi, sa descrii lumea cu dulcele/ amar dozat unic de Billy, made in Billy Wilder’s world. Nobody’s perfect dar nici viata nu e perfecta. Cred totusi ca, intr-o zi senina, pina si Dumnezeu ar vrea sa fie putin Billy Wilder.

La intrarea in rai parola e “Avanti !”. Si pina la urma tot pe Sunset ajungi. Adios & Ola, Billy & OLE !


7.04.2002, intr-un lost weekend la Sevilla,

& her ia a real treat, a new found interview (extensive) with Billy Wilder, published last year (2023) by Kevin Lally, who had 6 conversations with Billy in 1993 !

One Million views BC !!!!

1001015 views now. Over one million. Felt like sharing ;)

This blog, beaten, heavy, conflicted, controversial and ridiculed ("blogul cu morti"/ dead people's blog) never made any $ and I kept coming back to it just because it felt like a maligned child -was born when i was tricked to do it  at Mediapro (see Old blog) and then Ndgu suggested I did my own _July 2008-such eons lifes ago....and then (and then ? ) yes, IT Lives, and Lives Again, it lived, noh...til any moment when it can be erased, disappear, etc. 

This year it seems, I spent more time on it, it's like coming back home, an empty home, a poor home, a dear home, so many lost friends, so many heroes, so many great films and fun moments. None pushed me to write stuff I ddi not want to write, I promoted my activity, being that film festivals from TIFF to Cannes, got even accredited on Sitges with it (!!!), my years at the Cinemateca Patria, my short run of Bohemian Mondays (aldmovieLight), my Transilvania Blues Nights. 

It's random and it has tags for things most important and loved, from Keef to Iggy to Alice (Coop), to His Bobness, Leonard Cohen Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Steve Vai and VH in Rockland. 

On movieland it's BDP and Scottfree, QT and Jack (De Palma, Ridley and Tony Scott, Tarantino and Jack (Nicholson, not Daniels), giallo and Mickey Rourke. Und more.

It's trips and alinland, and SOTD (song of the day), and it's all been random into a design that fits or unfits. Why switched in English from original Romanian It's done good with imdb and anyhu, more than half of my life is in Ingles, so, why not ?


"Cent'anni !!!"

-...well, we live for much longer, kiddo ;)

Kris flew in...

«Everything was very copacetic. Everything was all right until — until — Kris Kristofferson came to town. Oh, they ain’t seen anybody like him. He came into town like a wildcat, flew his helicopter into Johnny Cash’s backyard like a typical songwriter. And he went for the throat. Sunday Morning Coming Down. Well, I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad so I had one more for dessert, then I fumbled through my closet, found my cleanest dirty shirt, then I washed my face and combed my hair and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day. You can look at Nashville pre-Kris and post-Kris – because he changed everything» – Bob Dylan, 2015

RIP Roger Corman

 The (B) King is gone, but not forgotten !!!

I met him in Grossmann in 2008 ! Oh, what a Lovely Day !:) and the Night of too...

see here in the funny papers ;)

https://aldmovieland.blogspot.com/2009/09/roger-corman-o-sa-ia-oscarul-omagial.html

Roger Corman just made it to 98 on April 5th, he was gone on May 9th....

autobiography: which I had and read-How I made a hundred movies in Hollywood and never lost a dime (1990)

great doc on him: Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel (2011), which I saw then in Cannes

Hackney Diamonds (out 2day) !!!

I'm listening to Hackney Diamonds 'til morning and I think it's really great! Listening before to the 2 singles- to Angry to the point of overexposure, then liked the Lady Gaga/Stevie Wonder song. Sweet Sounds of Heaven. 
Ok, ten new songs were waiting. Special brut prosecco/spumante opened (Aragosta), and here we go (again-st;)

Who would ever believe The Stones would pull this out in 2023 ???
Now there's guest spots from old friends like Paul McCartney (Bite My Head off, on bass, for the 1st time on Stones record!) and Elton John (Live by the Sword and Get Close, Elton on piano). 
Whole Wide World is more a new wave-punk song, the most pop-ish here.
Driving Me Too Hard, another power riff.
Mess it Ups funky rthythm reminded me of Emotional Rescue and that period songs. 
Some cool country vibes on Dreamy Skies.
And the Keef special, Tell me Straight, another warm truth seeking statement. 
For the grand finale, The Rolling Stone Blues, a Muddy Waters song from 1950 and a worthy coda, true to both artists' legacy and legend.

Charlie Watts is still here, present on drums on Mess it Up and Live by the Sword, both recorded in 2019. Live by the Sword gets also Bill Wyman on bass. 
The rest is done with the Stones old cahoot Darryl Jones on and Steve Jordan on drums. The album is produced by Andrew Watt (ecclectic American producer known as Watt who for me is the guy behind Ozzy' Ordinary Man and Patient no. 9 and Iggy's latest, Every Loser), who contributed on three songs as a composer.
Critics have given Hackney Diamonds positive reviews and several have remarked that it is their strongest album in multiple decades. Long time til 2005 and better and stabler sound and songwriting.
 
The album's name is London slang for the shattered glass left behind after burglars have smashed a window to break in, Hackney being an inner-city area of London associated with a high crime rate.

I totally agree, it's much much better than A Bigger Bang and Bridges to Babylon, i have a softer spot for Voodoo Lounge though. 
"Happy"?, would ask Keef. Yes, sireee ;)
Worth another special bubbly ;) Noroc !!!
Guess I gotta see ya guys again next year!!! Who would've believe it though?

Steve Vai the 6th

 My 6th Steve Vai gig after 23 years since I first saw him when he came in Romania for the 1st time!

 And the 1st show in Romania/Bucharest after 10 years!

The INVIOLATE tour (why not InvAiolate?)

I kinda made it in the nick of time (thx, So;), fan-tastic gig, fabulous new band, young prodigy Dante Frisiello on second guitar and keys. Brilliant bass player  Philip Bynoe and superhuman drummer, "the Animal" Jeremy Colson. Big attraction, his triple guitar HYDRA which he played a song with it (i gotta say  I am not a fan tho)

Setlist from Buch gig missing but here's for the next one in Bulgaria and the previous one in Greece

He played BAD HORSIE, from the 1986 Crossroads film by Walter Hill, complete with video excerpts from the movie. I asked him about that when we met him at the press conference in 2010!

I stayed by myself in front and caught the end of the gig on my phone, here' s the video!!!


For my previous Steve Vai experience(s) click the Steve Vai tag or here

2013 with the Evolution Tempo Orchestra -Arenele Romane

2012-1 noiembrie, Sala Palatului

2010-8 decembrie, Sala Polivalenta  with Evolution Tempo Orchestra

2009-6 septembrie Brasov, Cerbul de Aur -he played just 2 songs without band  

2000- aprilie Sala Palatului, I was shattered, met Eric Sardinas (who opened for him and walked the Hall playing guitar in the audience) in the lobby, drinking Jack Daniel's. Got his autograph and told him the story when we met in Sardinia 25 odd years later ;)

RIP Jeff Beck

 This is too close to home...:(((((((((

I saw Jeff last time in south of France in July 2022, he was great, in great shape, touring with Johnny Depp, which he supported in his ugly trial days...everyone was an awe...most of the audience came to see the pirate of Carrrab...what? no worries

...we had a lot of wonderful Pastis before...it was such a Pefect Day (Mishu? Lou?,Marseilles;)

Jeff was in super shape, playing his greatest, his Bolero included, Stratus too...all those french sweet girls came to se Jack Sparrow tho...but we knew the drill...and the roze... (accent on e;)

Jeff Beck is my favourite (and emphasise this, never WAS) guitarist (I guess / on a tie with Eddie Van Halen -and he was one of Eddie's faved  too:)

but at least I got to see him (JB) twice... (in Bratislava about ten or 11 years ago, remember Mircea, Relu, Ursu?)

-maan,mind typos, i'm shattered and half-drunk watching Jeff on Ronnie Scott's on youtube  now...few years back it was only the rare DVD...andigotthat concert as aXmas gift from a dear friend (Cristi Exo), wirt Vinnie Colaiuta on drums and Tal Wikenfeld on bass... Stratus at 5.50¬ (Billy Cobham, how I saw him playing this, I gotta write that story someday too;, Vlad ?) As u know my dream for Transilvania Blues was to bring Jeff Beck to Romania:(((( Too far, gone.....

I loved Jeff from The Faces on (can't say Yardbirds),  and one of my faved clip of the 80's with Rod Stewart, black and white/sepia cover of  People Get Ready, an anthem for friendship, if ever was one (or none;),  the train et all...yep, that train is gone for sure:(((( (mr.T.)

I loved him for all the refusals/ denials of greatness in super-bands  and his love of vintage cars, and gone mad in  fusion, Jazz, Jams  and yes, the Jan Hammer records..
.first record by Jeff Beck Group is entitled TRUTH ! which he BEHOLD !!!!
JB was an honest guy in a crooked business...He stood tall, or better said, he didn't give (a) shit about fame and brands...he cared about his custom cars...
I wish'd I had a drink with him...(but I did, and somehow I'm having one as I type this...)
I feel very sorry for Johnny (Depp) and Ronnie (Wood) and Rod (Stewart), whom I feel are carrying this load more than the rest...
**********It was an honor, sir !!!  And what a pleasure! I lived years of my life with theee...

You surely made this a better word !!!(and rock world, and jazz, and music whatsoever)..

Kudos! Love forever..(i can't get the emoticons, fuck off haters)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us8NH7AEvMg&t=641s

This is Jeff Beck's inducer's Jimmy Page in HALL OF FAMEin 1999 (and playing with Metallica)... bonus: Jimmy Page ( I knew him since we were 13).

...check out Ronnie Wood being happy !!!

Neil Peart RIP

Roll the Bones...One of the best drummers in the world, Rush-s Neil Peart died at 67.on Jan. 7th 2020. He was a biker too, went on a healing journey after his family tragedy in 1997-98, as presented by himself in the book /memoir Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road tand on the song Ghost Rider on the album Vapor Trails (2002), when Neil came back in the band. He retired in 2015 being diagnosed with brain cancer :(
Had the pleasure and privilege to see RUSH, one of the best bands ever, in Prague in 2004. Due to the fact Igot in front of the lavatory machines setting of Peart-s drums, especially in the moment of his solo, I lost my hearing in a ear for almost a week, thats how loud they were ! Well, those were the days, goodbye Neil ...
Exit, Stage Left....Image result for neil peart

Cannes 72: Jour 12- PPP -Parasite, Palme d'Or & Palmares


articolul despre ziua 11 in Cinemap aici
https://www.cinemap.ro/stire/140/jurnal-de-cannes--jour-douze-le-grand-finale
***
Azi am recuperat Parazitii lui Boong Jon-Ho /  Joon Ho Bong ?/ si bine am facut, pentru ca desi auzisem de bine si foarte bine, trebuia sa il vad cu ochii mei. Il urmaresc pe regizorul corean inca de la Memories of Murder, de la The Host (cronica mea aici) i-am vazut toate filmele aici, de la segmentul de omnibus din Tokyo la Okja de acum doi ani, facut pentru Netflix, dar pe care am avut privilegiul sa il vad pe Marele Ecran. E primul regizor coreean care ia Palme d’Or, wow, in 72 de ani de Cannes ! Bravo !

Este o comedie neagra neagra, satira, cu elemente naturaliste, supra-realiste si normal, de horror, horror social si bien sur de pur cinema, despre o familie de amariti care se insinueaza in viata unei familii super-bogate, manipulind-o, cu rezultate absolut neasteptate. 
Un tur  de forta, care poate fi incadrat cumva in seria topica Boudu salavat de la inec, cu remakeul Down and Out in Beverly Hills si Borgman al olandezului Alex van Warmerdam, tot in Selectia Oficiala la Cannes in 2013, dar nec plus ultra, plus cu specific coreean. Un  regal !
Parasite va fi distribuit in Romania de Independenta Film !

Cannes 72: Jour 1: The Dead Don't Die...

Cinemap ici (ceea ce nu mai e)
dissapointing tho :(
Jour 1
Veni, vidi, vici ?. Cu greva de taxiuri care au blocat autobuzele, cu avion
intirziat de ploaie, cu luat trenul de la Nisa impromptu, cu coada la
presa si controalele de securitate omniprezente. Am reusit sa vad
Ceremonia de deschidere in paralel, la sala Debussy, am intrat cam
penultimul. MC Eduard Baer funny, juriul serios, cu Elle Fanning
radianta, Pawlikowski si Lathimos intelectuali, cu prezentare de clip
Innaritu (monsier le president), Charlotte Gainsbourg sexy si Javier
Bardem sobru, au declarat deschis festivalul si apoi a urmat filmul lui
Jim Jarmusch. Ceremonia a fost transmisa simultan de Canal + si in sali
de cinema, nu mai putin de 600, si filmul a intrat tot atunci aici, premiera
mondial, in SUA va intra pe 15 iunie, in Romania nu e anuntat !
***
The Dead Don‘t Die e filmul de deschidere care cel putin a polar-izat -
sic-v. polar; la iesire a inceput o ploaie mocaneasca-cea mai
noua intrare a genului zombi, si deconstructie de gen de tip Jarmusch-
comedic-parodic-nihilist. Avind in vedere deconstructiile lui anterioare
de gen ma asteptam la ceva mai destept si mai special dupa un generic
cu nume glorioase, cam o intreaga distributie irosita. Iggy Pop are un
cameo iar Tom Waits un extended one, sau ideea era sa nu mergem la
pomul laudat cu asteptari maxime. Probabil ca imi va creste in timp
perceptia pozitiva pentru ca muzica lui Squrl, trupa de garaj punk a lui
Jim Jarmusch, citatele din Romero -de la primul cadru -si alte refeeinte,
si o tona de filne de gen, dar nu pare a fi un film de competitie Cannes
si nici de ouverture. More like a stunt...adica nu au luat ei The Limits of
Control care era poetic si arthouse frenchy si au dat iama la DDD (Dead
Don’t Die), inteleg ca are star value, ca doar l-a luat Universal in
distributie, dar asta a cause de Bill Murray, Adam Driver aussi, intr-un
triunghi de politisti locali din satucul Centerville, USA, care o include si
pe Chloe Sevigny-care nu prea are ce juca-, toti trei ochelaristi, un soi
de reminder Ghostbusters cu zombi. In rest filmul se vrea meta-cu
auto-referinte si rupe cel de-al patrulea zid (the Fourth wall) cu
publicul, clins d’œil, si este extrem de sec. Tilda Swinton se remarca
intr-un impecabil accent scotian. Titlul e dat de piesa country a lui
Sturgill Simpson, compusa special pentru film (el are si un cameo), si
care e un gag recurent de-a lungul filmului.

Iata si clipul cu piesa,
