Ornette Coleman Revenant box
by Herb Levy 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

The Revenant box is supposed to be focused on a book that will clarify what harmolodics is. What audio tracks will be included, and how intelligible the book will be, were still to be determined at last report, but I'm not in Austin much and am not in constant touch with revenant central.

DVD wishes
by Chris Selvig 06 Jun '02

06 Jun '02

Mr Zitt will be pleased to know that Bill Viola has DVDs planned in the near future - now if I can just move into that Philips house with the plasma-screen walls... I'd love to see Yuen Kwai's "Legend of Fong Sai-Yuk" done well - i.e., readable subtitles; "The Legend" does not cut it. But what I really, really want is her "Romance of Book and Sword," which is sorta like Lawrence of Arabia w/ plot by Shakespeare and acting by Hong Kong kung fu badasses. It's one of the most incredible films I've had the privilege of seeing, and there were only about 5 other people in the theater. I wholeheartedly back up the wish for Brakhage stuff on DVD - has anyone on the list seen his "existence is song"? I haven't, but they sound amazing, IMAX work - "Some of the huge, densely layered frames look like dried tide pools or exploding oil slicks." Finally, I have a broad want: when I see documentaries about musicians, live footage is inevitably included in little 2-3 minute bites. I'd love to see entire live concerts from geniuses like Coltrane, Monk, Bo Diddley, etc w/o having the sublime interrupted so I can hear what an inspiration it was for Carlos Santana. I saw some lame history-of-rock documentary which included tremendous live footage of Bo from '64 or '65, absolutely thunderous & the teenage girls were screaming just as loud as they did for the Beatles.

Barton Fink and Naked Lunch

What's the deal. These two films along with Barfly should be released by now. I love the book Hollywood so Barfly is funny and interesting to watch. Wish I could have seen Bukowski spit the beer back into the bottle on the bar from his stool, maybe in the deleted scenes... Andrew

And what about a dvd of Ed Sullivan shows, or Shindig, even (dare I say) American Bandstand. The possibilities are endless.
