°°°°My friend was changing his guitar the other day when we discovered something interesting. When he touched the metal on the guitar we heard radio coming from the amp. We got the AM station 1430 coming out of the guitar amp! We figured that it was some how related to the Boss distortion pedal (the orange one), since we were using ourselves as the antenna without the guitar and the level knob was changing the radio frequency. Any one know why this happened?°°°° fred frith frequently use radio via guitar intentionally..... listen to "improvised music of new york 1981".... also on "step across the border"

cult films

hi all, some are obvious, some arent french: The City of Lost Children (1995) Delicatessen (199?) Jean-Pierre Jeunet Both of these are the earlier works of jaunet, the director of Amelie. These are more dark but still very funny and comical. japanese: Tampopo (1986) Director: Juzo Itami Japanese noodle western, food obsessives must see this movie, make sure you have a ramen stand nearby for intermission Organ (1996) Kei Fujiwara Absolutely discusting movie, something about it was completely amazing in its pussy, dismembered glory. The whole movie felt wounded, Im sure zorn would have loved to score this movie. It was banned in japan for a number of years. Good Morning director: Ozu funny oldtimey movie like a cross between the brady bunch and something a lot more serious and deep. Rashomon director: akira kurosawa its worth just watching how the camera works wonders in this film. Everyshot is an amazing moving composition. Korean: Attack the Gas Station! (1999) Director: Kim Sang-jin very absurd movie, partly slapstick comedy korean style The Isle (2001) Director: Ki-duk Kim spooky lake retreat, some scenes involving fishhooks are very difficult to watch, floating cabins, fishing, parties, and one really beautiful korean woman who runs the boat and general store. jt __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Diva - a french movie with a couple of cool interwoven subplots and a guy who just _loves_ his Nagra deck Tapeheads - does this qualify as a cult movie? don't really know. my favorite early john cusack movie Eating Raoul - imdb tagline: Meet the Blands! They're square...They're in LOVE...AND they kill people. (it's really weirder than that) Prospero's Books - i've read a few plot summaries...but honestly, when i saw it i couldn't really pick out a plot. what i do remember is Sir John Gielgud and more naked people than you can count. Naked Lunch - can't really remember if it was any more lucid than the book, but visually it was kinda cool. Repo Man - maybe my favorite cult movie -- Mark Saleski - marks(a)foliage.com | http://www.foliage.com/~marks "Nothing in the world is more haughty than a man of moderate capacity when once raised to power." - Baron Wessenberg

Foreign/cult films
by Perfect Sound Forever 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Great thread here recently on summer reading. Got to pick up Christian Bok's "Eunoia" and "The Sea Came in at Midnight" by Steve Erickson. Can't remember if it was someone on this list who recommended it but I'm just ordered a weird sci-fi/horror book called "Satan Burger" by Carlton Mellick III. Though I'm sure it will take up my next few weeks to catch up on recommendations I get from y'all here, I was wondering if anyone wanted to share some titles of favorite foreign / cult movies. I'd be glad to start. Jan Svankmajer: Czech director who was supposedly a big influence on the Quay Brothers- uses stop-motion (think that's the right term) animation within the films, mixed with child-hood nightmarish tales. Just seen Little Otik and Conspirators of Pleasure (both recommended) and heard that Alice and Faust were also worth seeing. Lars Von Trier: The Element of Crime is a very languid, dream-like psychological crime thriller (wonder if it was an influence on Angel Heart). He did Europa later. He's also responsible for the Danish TV series The Kingdom (aka Riget, available on video) which has a bizarre cast of characters: a med student whose nightmares come true, a somewhat crackpot clairvoyant who pursues the ghost of a little girl, a Swedish doctor who hates and berates the rest of the staff, a kitchen crew who speak in allegories and metaphors, etc.. Sean Guilette: Pi is about a mathematician who's going insane trying to figure out the connection between number sequences and the stock market and Jewish mysticism. Not foreign but definitely cult. Takashi Miike: Visitor Q is one of the most unsettling movies I've seen in a while- lots of violence (including a teenager beating his mother) plus incest and necrophilia (the later of which provides an especially disturbing yet somehow funny scene). I've heard that another film of his, Audition, is even more graphic. Best, Jason -- Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine with warped perspectives http://www.perfectsoundforever.com
