I was stoked at first: the first track is groovy and Love LA is absolutely slamming. After that it's all kind of samey and didn't intrigue me enough to give it a second listen. Knoc-t'urnal has great energy but maybe it's not the right kind to carry a whole album. When the song that's on Hittman's album comes along it's just a reminder of how much better that album is and of the extent to which Knoc-t'urnal's lyricism is lacking.
Not awful by any means, but another one of those extended mediocre episode TV adaptations. It's hard to imagine who greenlights these things but I guess it got okay reviews at the time.
Indefatigable and endlessly relistenable. Might get a bit redundant towards the end but it starts over soon enough after that anyhow.
Goofy as hell but/and probably one of the better things to emerge from Star Trek, though all the whale shit gets old quick. The Uhura/Chekov stuff is gold, especially nuclear wessels.
Upper tier Frampton for sure, it's length lends it a hypnotic quality. I might just be a sucker for this kind of industrial stuff though; the cow one (Spring Solstice?) is about this length and that bored me silly.
Probably my new favorite film. I don't have much to say about it but it worked perfectly on every level for me at the time I saw it.
Damn, for a sparse week this was a pretty killer run, new favorite from Fassbinder here. This kind of satire in a world with slightly different rules from ours could easily have annoyed me, but Fassbinder pulls it off way better than Buñuel. I'm not sure how coherent a criticism of contemporary Germany it's supposed to be but at least in the context of Fassbinder's oeuvre it's often incisive. Very fucking funny movie too.
Comparisons to Mayfield's Superfly are obvious but not unjustified. This isn't nearly as good at least on first listen but it's still pretty cool. The longer songs tend to be stronger but the whole thing has a nice flow.
