seen alot of movies. a.i, donnie darko, amelie and vanilla sky comes to mind.
all good movies, taking you for a unexpected ride. looking forward to panic room, insomnia (us version) and punchdrunk love. i have seen a couple
of movies lately. last night i saw "the contender", besides all the patriotic
p.c bullshit i thought i was i good movie. gary oldman is outstanding. sometimes
you get the chance to see a movie you have been meaning to watch, but
never did. my dear sister gave me the special edition of magnolia on dvd
for my birthday. and i must
say; what a fantastic movie. this one goes straight into my 10 alltime
favourites. this masterpiece is written and directed by paul thomas anderson
(boogie nights), and is filled to the rim with brilliant actors, and a
story so warm, disturbing, funny and great, it is no less than a streak
of genious. if you haven't seen this one, buy it or rent it now. it's
for your own good. i have always
thought radiohead was good. i thought kid a was a bit strange and hard
to get a grip on, the same goes for amnesiac. i have experienced this
before. music that demands some serious listening before it reveales it's
true beauty.
and
i must say kid a and amnesiac is two wonderfull and strong albums. and soon
radiohead is releasing a new record to called 'I might be wrong'. looking
forward to that one. i found a
link to a page containing the complete 'ok computer' album by radiohead,
this is a 'tribute to radiohead' recording by a string quartet. the recording
contains their version of every song on 'ok computer'. site found here. i downloaded
almost the whole new chemical brothers album too. sounds great. the last
album by aphex twin is also another really strange and cool album. that
richard d. james must be nuts. so how is
life then. thinking alot about my dad these days. he has had two strokes,
and is living in a nursing-home 230 kilometers from where i live. so we
stay in touch over the phone. looking forward to christmas, then we will
spend some time together. well, keep
droping by for the last updates in the life of the bastard. :) 10-4 the bastard
thought
music is cardinal. i have alway loved bands like sisters of mercy, bauhaus, siouxie and the banshees, the smiths and the cure. and i have
always loved a good metal band. like danzig, black sabbath, slayer amongst others.
these days i have grown fond of the "new" goth/metal
scene around europe. many of these from norway; tristania, sirenia, sins of thy beloved, the 3rd and the mortal to mention some. lacrimas
profundere, my dying bride, anathema and theater of tragedy are other great european bands.
i can think of no american band within this
genre, exept one of the giants; type o negative.
many of these bands sound alike. but i would like to pick sirenia, lacrimas profundere and my dying bride as my heartstoppers. go get some of the bands i mentioned. it's worth it.
and please use openag a nice opensource audiogalaxy satellite. it works great. wee.
that's it.
kisses and smooches from the bastard.
i finally got
"the godfather" triology on dvd. i have seen all the movies before, and enjoyed them,
but now i got to see them "back to back". and i am amazed.
it's a masterpiece no less.
tristania caught my ear the first time i heard them. now i have all their albums. this is great,
dark, beautiful and grand music. the band is norwegian. read more about them at tristania.com
"harken my moonchilds cry
yearning for another night
mourning my once beloved
mezmorized and ravendark
my pale enchantress of the night
at last my candle's burning down
the wintermoon is shining bleak
for thee my enchantress"
pale enchantress - tristania
just to mention some other great music i've been listening to lately: amon tobin, my dying bride, the motorhomes, black rebel motorcycle
club, the hives and miles davis (thank you my sweet sister).
