Harverd Dropout - 2019 Tour
iPhone Vid Clips
Spectacular show of absolute sheer entertainment. Mosh pits, cathartic head-banging, tidal waves of hundreds of fanatical wiggling human being bodies, glowing smartphone flashlights (the cig lighters era is over) lighting up the audience, so many fangirls in total hysterics screaming &crying & declaring their love to Skies and Pump as if The Beatles was happening all over again. No words. Lil Skies was Epic, and Lil Pump was pure Rock Star.

" She was the only person I saw who could write a song in 40 minutes. She had no filter. I remember asking her on the song ‘Back to Black’ to change a lyric because it didn’t rhyme. And the thought of changing a lyric... Well, she wasn’t indignant that I asked her, but it was like "How could I change it? That’s what I wrote. How could I change it to make it rhyme?" And my pop brain was like, ‘well, we do it all the time.’ But she said, "This is the emotion, this is what I felt, I can’t change one word." She was so honest. And I thought not everybody is so uncompromising and talented enough to do that. "

Real vs Fake International Horror Scales.
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/apr/08/how-the-blair-witch-project-changed-horror-for-ever
Blair Witch was a fake documentary, yet a haunting nonetheless. Anthropocene: The Human Epoch is a real documentary, and a real-life horror movie wears down the heavy boots we walk in daily.

Blair Witch was a fake documentary, yet a haunting nonetheless. Anthropocene: The Human Epoch is a real documentary, and a real-life horror movie wears down the heavy boots we walk in daily.
https://theanthropocene.org/film/
A cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch is a four years in the making feature documentary film. Third in a trilogy that includes Manufactured Landscapes (2006) and Watermark (2013), the film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group who, after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, because of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth.
From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and surreal lithium evaporation ponds in the Atacama desert, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document evidence and experience of human planetary domination.
At the intersection of art and science, ANTHROPOCENE: The Human Epoch witnesses in an experiential and non-didactic sense a critical moment in geological history — bringing a provocative and unforgettable experience of our species’ breadth and impact - the burning of the piles of elephant tusks gathered from the illegal elephant ivory industry will forever haunt me, far beyond that of that nasty murderous witch of the rural town of Blair.

R.I.P. Seymour Cassel
Independent film auteur John Cassavetes, who died from liver disease at age 59, was "the older brother I never had and the closest male friend I ever had, Cassel told an NPR interview. "He was extremely influential in creating my career and guiding me."
"It said, 'Free Scholarships — John Cassavetes Workshop, Variety Arts Building,'" Cassel recalled in David Spaner's 2011 book, Shoot It!: Hollywood Inc. and the Rising of Independent Film. "I went there and said, 'I'm looking for one of those scholarships.' John talked to me for about an hour and then said, 'I've got to go. We're shooting a movie.' 'I said, 'Can I watch?' and he said, 'Sure.' "I just started helping the cameraman. I worked all night. John took us to breakfast and said, 'What do you think?' I said, 'It's great. Can I come back?' He said, 'Sure.' And I kept coming back. Not only did it enhance my knowledge, but I found the best friend I ever had." On Faces, made for $40,000, Cassel did double duty again as an actor and crewmember (he was one of seven of the latter). "That way of making a film was so much fun," he told IndieWire in 1997. "No unions to deal with, no time schedule. We shot it in continuity, which John did with every film after that. He did it for himself, and he did it for the actors."
Cassel died Sunday in Los Angeles of complications from Alzheimer’s disease. Word on the street is that he's already started working on a new film with John up there in the Heavens. Seymour will be working the boom mike, too. bye to the brotherhood.
Out-Of-Print vinyl soundtrack finding.
Found GAME OF DEATH Soundtrack Review: Of the more obscure film scores from legendary English soundtrack maestro John Barry is Game of Death, the score for the final official film featuring martial arts film star Bruce Lee. The film itself was a less than stellar effort, combining old outtakes with unconvincing new footage using doubles, but Barry managed to serve up a worthwhile action score that combined the regal orchestral punch of his work on the James Bond films with some exotic Asian-styled touches. Like his James Bond scores, Game of Death is built on two key musical themes. The first is the "Main Title," a hard-hitting slice of action music that mixes alternates brassy, dramatic horn arrangements with swirling, yearning strings over a jazzy rhythm section perked up with electronic percussion. The other theme is a romantic theme entitled "Is This the Song I'll Be Singing Tomorrow," which is presented in both instrumental and vocal versions. This theme is a lounge-y track that blends a jazzy, saxophone-driven melody with some easy listening orchestral touches. The remaining tracks are variations on these themes. This approach could have easily gotten dull, but the themes overflow with strong melodic content, and Barry's skill as an arranger shifts them in directions that keep them consistently interesting: "Garden Fight" pares the main theme down into a slower, more ominous track that is spiced up with staccato horn and drum passages, and "Billy and Ann's Love Theme" strips the lounge and jazz elements from the romantic theme to create a lush orchestral track. All in all, Game of Death is a strong action score that will appeal to anyone who enjoyed Barry's work on the James Bond films. bye.
