'Let a sufferer try to describe a pain in his head to a doctor and language at once runs dry,' she wrote.

Tiny 2nd Unit gear bag.

Inside of that bag sits a hi-end HiDef camera designed to capture outdoor, and underwater, 2nd Unit crew film material while having the ability to remain concealed nicely inside of most pants pockets. Bag story moral: How times have changed for the film artist- Good Times. Bye.

Abounaddara, pathos, Bullet films and new doc cinema.

The film artists of the Abounaddara doc movement (who call themselves 'creative snipers') say they represent the epitome of a 'necessity is the mother of invention' pathos.

Most of its members choose to remain credited as anonymous. A collective member's quote, ' we just wanted to make movies because we love this art, and it allows you to reconstruct reality with a certain economy of means.' Bye.

Eastwood Day.

Breaking film news: Clint Eastwood has presented retired actress Doris Day, age 91, with a script. She has been out of the public eye for over 40 years. Fingers are crossed about this !

Bye.

Thinking about the sound passions of Moe this mornin.'

“The real owners of Folkways Records are the people that perform and create what we have recorded and not the people that issue and sell the product.”

Folkways Records & Service Co. was founded in 1948 in New York City by Moses Asch (1905–1986) and Marian Distler (1919–1964). Under Asch's enthusiastic and dedicated direction, Folkways sought to record and document the entire world of sound. Between 1948 and Asch's death, Folkways' tiny staff released 2,168 albums (an average of one per week). Topics included traditional, ethnic, and contemporary music from around the world; poetry, spoken word, and instructional recordings in numerous languages; and documentary recordings of individuals, communities, current events, and natural sounds.

p.s. All of Moe's sponsored and not-for-profit world sound recordings are available and were donated to the Smithsonian. His recording archive can be heard upon written request to the Smithsonian, as per his Last Will and Testament had stated. The original cover art availability for these limited released sound art recordings, to the general public, is an entirely different story. bye.

The subtle use of the ZOOM lens- and the non-subtle use of the vocal chord in the morning. bye.

Hit the jackpot again.

Unreal how I found this. Wow is an understatement. Special Thanks to hunter, Gene! Bye.

True grace from Grace.

Robin Wright and the make-shift tent wars.

Great editorial in The New Yorker on Syrian battleground and US involvement, 'Our high-priced mercenaries in Syria.' Timely piece with this new international influx crisis of 'refugees' looking for real estate amok.

Bye.

This is what having a bad hair day looks like ...

Dementia of legislative censorship's old thinking habits.

Once upon a time, 30 years ago...

One of many of the biggest problems with the Senate hearing was that the forum was an unlawful use of the Senate. Before the hearing was even scheduled, he says, the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) agreed with the PMRC to place general “Parental Advisory” labels on albums that artists voluntarily agreed to have stickered.

“Senate hearing and Senate committees are only to be used when something is being discussed and considered for legislation,” Snider says. “The committee chair, Senator Danforth, said in his opening statement, ‘We are not considering any form of legislation.’ That means it was an illegal use of a forum of a Senate hearing. So basically, these people used their influence to get a hearing about something that never should have happened. Public funds should never have been spent on this.”

The Senate hearing, which began Sept. 19, 1985, was orchestrated by the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), a group headed by then-Senator Al Gore’s wife Tipper that also included Susan Baker, wife of Treasure Secretary James Baker; Pam Howar, wife of influential Washington realtor Raymond Howar; and Sally Nevius, wife of ex-Washington City Council Chairman John Nevius.

The PMRC first got together after Al and Tipper were listening to Prince’s Purple Rain album with one of their daughters. When they heard the song “Darling Nikki,” they noticed that it mentioned a female “sex fiend” who was “masturbating with a magazine.”

Incensed, Tipper Gore contacted her influential friends to talk about how graphic and offensive popular music had become, and after researching the issue, they came up with a list of artists whose songs contained lyrics unsuitable for children. Realizing that the First Amendment of the Constitution protected an artist’s right to free expression, the Washington wives devised a system for rating records that was similar to the way the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rates movies R, PG-13, PG, and G.

“Had it been kept plain and simple like that, I think a lot of people would have said, ‘Yeah, this is common sense,’” says Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford, whose song “Eat Me Alive,” was listed among the Washington Wives’ “Filthy Fifteen.”

“Of course, it turned into this serious forum that made us, the musicians, appear to be the bad guys,” Halford continues. “That was why we were so furious. We were going, ‘Whoa, this is a First Amendment issue. The way they twisted the subject had a very negative effect on some very important, talented musicians.”

As soon as the PMRC went public with its complaints, the media swarmed. “These women were getting all this attention all of a sudden,” Snider says. “Suddenly they weren’t Washington wives anymore. They were important. They had something to say.”

A Working Table of Polish Russian Contents...

Original film compositions and soundscapes inspired by the piano works and collected gibberish of Russian composer Reinhold Moritzevich Gliere. Special thanks to string interpreter Ms. Vivian. bye.

Listening to a rare soundtrack composed by Georges Delerue before my recording sessions today. So very inspiring. Such a brilliant and unique orquestral string score (L'ete Meurtrier). bye.

GM Recalls.

GM's (General Motors) most recent deferred compensation agreement is sickening. Absolutely no deterrent to corporate abuses and crimes.

postscriptt(sic) This is what creating FOLEY work for a person running down a south London street with wooden clogs sounds like...

* * *Foley effects are sound effects added to the film during post production (after the shooting stops). They include sounds such as footsteps, clothes rustling, crockery clinking, paper folding, doors opening and slamming, punches hitting, glass breaking, etc. etc.
