Dune part Two (2024)

 Saw Dune. Zwei. Nicht Drei ;)

here's my and my buddies thoughts of the 1st Villeneuve film.

This time I'm not sure I can gather them for a part deux review...but weirdly enough none of them saw it in the 1st 2 weeks...

My main interest. As in Heroes (old Gods, Almost Dead topic...) Chris Walken is the Emperor Shaddam IV. Sounds like an SNL sketch to many it seems, read a review that considered that to be a grave mistake. Dudes, this is the guy from Deer Hunter, The Dead Zone and The King of New York.

If you know him from a Fatboy Slim video that's your problem. 

The Man is a monument of whatever you want, pop culture, and for some of us bigger than the religions and conflicts of Dune. 

More Cowbell ?

-I didn't care about the freemen, Wonka with blue eyes, Zendaya Mondatta, his mom and his sis. The worms looks great, the dunes are all righy (Jordan), Zimmer pulls some Tubular Bells in the ending, Elvis is a mean Feyd Rautha and Bardem (Stilgar) plays like he's Anthony Quinn on steroids. Shades of Lawrence of Arabia were in the original novel, here there is Star Wars galore, esp. The Empire Strikes Back, the battle on the ice planet, revisited here on yellow sand.  What else? A Gladiator scene in black and white and too little emotion- for me. Not enough cowbell. Amazingly this went straight to Top IMDB #11 (while the 1st film didn't even make the top 250 !!!), let's see how it will do in due time. #3 should be better imo. It has more politics in the plot, less worms and Mu'adib becomes who he should be (a Vader analogy?)

Keith Richards-I’m Waiting for the Man (SOTD)

Keef honors Lou Reed. March 1st.  

I'm Waiting for the Man  is  Velvet Underground song recorded for their debut album in 1967.

His Birthday being March 2nd.

“To me, Lou stood out. The real deal! Something important to American music and to ALL MUSIC! I miss him and his dog.” - Keith Richards

Communique:

The digital single & music video are out now and featured on the upcoming album The Power of the Heart: A Tribute to Lou Reed, which includes newly recorded covers from Keith Richards, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Rufus Wainwright, Lucinda Williams, Maxim Ludwig & Angel Olsen, Rickie Lee Jones, Mary Gauthier, Bobby Rush, Automatic, The Afghan Whigs, and Rosanne Cash. This special collection will be released by Light in the Attic Records and available on Vinyl & CD at fine independent record shops worldwide on Record Store Day (April 20th).

It goes without saying that the legendary Lou Reed was a true rock ’n’ roll pioneer. From The Velvet Underground’s debut in 1967 all the way through the end of his days, Reed sang truth from his heart. He lived life to the limit—and then some. The Power of the Heart is a tribute to Reed’s freedom of expression with covers spanning his groundbreaking years with the Velvets into his majestic solo career. Each track is a glorious extension of the Rock ’n’ Roll Animal’s soul, ever adventurous and avant-garde.

Am pus aici un articol depre Ginger Baker scris la moartea sa in octombrie 2019 si ramas nepublicat pina acum.

*****

Cream a fost primul super-grup din istoria rockului, în componența de trio: Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, și a activat doar 3 ani (1966-1968). Astăzi este considerată deopotrivă de critici și de fani “cea mai bună trupă din lume”.

Kofi Baker este fiul lui Ginger Baker, toboșar virtuoz, la fel ca tatăl său. Kofi Baker's Cream Faith îi include pe Malcolm Bruce, fiul lui Jack Bruce, basistul grupului Cream și BBM, iar chitarist este Rob Johnson, al cărui unchi a fost tot Ginger Baker. Trupa cântă muzica legendarelor Cream și Blind Faith, și e un soi de “afacere de familie”, o moștenire Live, nu numai pentru nostalgici, ci și pentru viitorii fani, o muzică nemuritoare, „The Sunshine of Our Love”.

Un concert-eveniment marca Transilvania Blues Nights.
