Shaw Brothers Web Of Death (1976)

Watched the Shaw Brothers film Web Of Death. Decent superpowered kung fu vs the bizarre powers of the Spider Clan. It is on Hulu, although only dubbed, but worth checking out.

Making buttons again

Playlist from my days as a college radio dj at whpk

Playlist from 1987. The Scratch Acid track is a cover and the P.I.L. track is a remix.

Orkestra Obsolete play New Order's Blue Monday

Really enjoying this cover.

The Jam About The Young Idea

The Jam documentary - About The Young Idea is on Showtime this month and is worth watching. Lots of great clips and interviews. Definitely have to listen to all of their albums again.

Cherubs 2 ynfynyty LP

Really enjoying the Cherubs new LP. As good as their records from the early 90's.

Fantastic Fest 2015 my favorite film.

After 4 years I was finally able to attend Austin's Fantastic Fest, an awesome week of binge watching crazy and impressive movies that will be released over the next year or so. I saw 17 films in 4 days. My favorite film was "Liza and the Fox Fairy". A Hungarian fantasy film with a 60's style Japanese beat soundtrack. Because of the attention to production detail "Liza and the Fox Fairy" gets compared to "Amelie" and while they are both great films I think the Hungarian film has a darker sense of humor and is more imaginative. Due to be released early 2016.

New Flying Saucer Attack

I am excited to buy the new Flying Saucer Attack record when it comes out on Drag City this year. Here is a new video. Directed by Peter Strickland.

The Wachowski's Sense8 netflix series.

This blindsided me. I had no idea this was in the works. A new netflix series by the Wachowski Siblings. Co-written by J Michael Straczynski. Stars Bae Doona, Naveen Andrews, Freema Agyeman and Daryl Hannah. Looks pretty good.

Aussie biker flick "Stone" (1974)

Looked for a disc of this for ages but some finally some kind soul has put it up on youtube. Features a young-ish Hugh Keays-Byrne aka Toecutter/Immortan Joe

Hou Hsiao Hsien's The Assassin

I think I have been waiting for 5 years for this movie to finish production. Shu Qi in a period martial arts film directed by the Hou Hsiao Hsien. Hopefully it will get a theatrical release this year from Well Go.

Roar, 1981

This is a photo of cinematographer Jan de Bont after he was scalped by a lion while filming "Roar". I had never heard of the film until the news that Drafthouse films will be re-releasing this crazy film. As the trailer states "No animals where harmed in the making of this film" but the cast and crew took a beating.
