Raspberry Beret – by Prince
Four years ago, we lost Prince Rogers Nelson. Still, the music lives on. Anyone passing by this site is pretty aware that we keep his music on rotation here. The song toss up was going to be between Adore, The Song of the Heart, Vicki…
Disintegration – by The Cure
Today is Robert Smith’s 61st birthday. The Cure’s been around since the late 70’s, but I can’t say that I knew of them as well as I did some other bands. Just about everyone knows of Friday I’m in Love, or Burn (off of the…
She’s Gone Away – by (the) Nine Inch Nails
Today marks the 30th Anniversary of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. Goodness, what a strange and wild show. The original show can be found on just every streaming network, and a marathon of 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return is on Showtime (as well as the individual…
A Love Bizarre – by Sheila E. & Prince
When I think about 1985’s Krush Groove (which doesn’t happen too often these days), two things comes to mind. The Fat Boys raiding a local Sbarro’s pizzeria (I really miss their Pizza), and Sheila E. singing Love Bizarre. Love Bizarre is one of my favorite…
Soul Makossa – by Manu Dibango
Soul Makossa is a song that I’ve been searching for off and on for nearly 20 years. While the song was popular when I was little, my best memory of it comes from a movie (as always). There’s a scene in Robert Harmon’s HBO Film…
Zombies run amok in the Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula teaser!
Whoa!! It looks like we have a sequel to 2016’s smash hit, Train to Busan! Train to Busan Presents Peninsula takes place four years after the events of the original film. The zombies have taken over the land, and what’s left is more of a…
Escape from New York (dir. by John Carpenter)
When I was little, my Aunt would sometimes take my older brother and I with her into Manhattan. In a little movie theatre near 82nd Street, she’d get us a set of tickets for a film, help us get seated with snacks and then either…
America – Prince and the Revolution
I’ve been listening to a lot of Prince over the last month. One of the cool things about albums growing up was extended versions of songs. You’d have some songs that would stretch well into 6 to 8 minutes. The first three minutes are lyrics,…
No Time to Die – by Billie Eilish
Grammy Award Winner Billie Eilish just released her theme song to the upcoming Bond Film, No Time to Die. Along with her brother Finneas, Eilish collaborated with composer Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr (both of whom worked together on the Inception score). As this film…
Birds of Prey(and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) – (dir. by Cathy Han)
Once upon a time, there was this comic book company called DC. DC was fortunate enough to be owned by Warner Bros. back in 1968. I’ve always thought of this as a good thing, despite not being the best of fans. It meant that any…
In Memoriam – Ennio Morricone (Nov 10, 1928 – Jul 06, 2020)
I woke up this morning and found out that legendary composer and Academy Award Winner Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Unfortunately, I haven’t the knowledge to fully give Morricone the justice he deserves. He was known mostly for his scores…
