Tape Store , Saturday, 9 May Come to think of it, the Planet P Project song isn't rock, either. My eleven of the moment The Streets - "Blinded By The Lights" for its crushingly accurate portrayal of too many nights of my life 6.

Paul Hixon Pittman - "Lies, Ties and Battlefields" Tune follows me around all day and makes me feel better and sadder all at once 7. Outkast - "Prototype" More summer wooze 8. Steely Dan - "Through With Buzz" appropriately enough, like a wasp trapped in my skull 9. Ricardo Villalobos - "Y.

The Ronettes "Be My Baby" When I got back I realized how cool the drum part on the song is. I love you guys. I love "Mr Brown".

This is not definitive at all! These have all been on my personal heavy rotation the past two or three days. Random Sampling of recent listenings: To be honest, I haven't listened to much after in the past month or so. Thanks noodle vague I love you too!! Rifle Sport is one of those bands that I should have heard by now considering how much I like Shellac. None of it is in print or at least it hasn't been for awhile; I haven't looked lately and I don't do the whole download thing.

Mission of Burma - Wounded World. I can't believe how much this song is kicking my arse right now. Unfortunately the new album still isn't in shops here yet.

Nothing Compares 2 U - Jimmy Scott 6. Bob George - Prince 8. Upside Down - Diana Ross Daddy Daddy - Ruth Brown Fuck, Avenue D are dope. I think he just did that to try and get the thread noticed Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels Even a good year after seeing it, I have found myself addicted to the montage in Donnie Darko where they play this track and the camera pans through all the characters in slow motion.

Possibly one of my favourite bits of direction ever. Justus Kohncke - "The Answer is Yes" 2. Being with You cos I found the 12" for 50p in Deptford market the other day ahahahaa 2. Bei Mir Bist Bu Schon 3. Shades of Scarlett Conquering 6. Greenfield Morning I pushed a baby carriage all over the city 7. Boys in Shorts 9. I meant "Piper" instead of "Holy High". I don't think so - I burned it from a friend's LP. Yeah, I love this, I think more so than the Homosexuals stuff. Tracks 1, 2, 6 and 13 on Mr Raggett's Disco Inferno: Junior Boys Last Exit I have found myself addicted to the montage in Donnie Darko where they play this track and the camera pans through all the characters in slow motion.

Madvillain "Operation Lifesaver" 2. The Streets "Empty Cans" 3. Kid Koala "Music for Morning People" 5. Fela Kuti "Let's Start" 6. Okay wait replace that 11 with Nancy Sinatra "Bang Bang" immediately. And, BTW, I'm doing it doggy style right now just for you, m. Oh, come ON people - I thought the image of an interweb mentalist doing it would keep this thread thriving! Rap that mentions potato salad and rhymes "arriba" and "believa". One of his best vocals.

Can I just point out that the song "16's" by Done Deal Family has average-to-good journeyman rapping on it, but it samples the Imperial March from Star Wars?

New moment, new list At this moment and off the top of my head: The song as an album track is OK. The song as a radio single is shit. The song as an excuse for the video is awright. The bowdlerization of the lyrics for the radio version is nauseating. I still don't care for the video either. It has nothing to do with the song, for starters. Did you not SEE the golden calculator? I mean the overall plot of the video is totally extraneous and distracting from the lyrics of the song.

And it the plot of the video is kind of derivative of countless other videos anyway. You're On Fire Mr. Trife - Biscuits Really like the whole record, but I'm just so overcome with happiness whenever this track comes on Black Wire - Attack! Easy to be cynical and label this as another dance-punk cash-in, but its damn catchy and all the elements sit together really well.

Joy Division - Transmission James Brown - Please Please Please Everything MF Doom should be 3. Mahmoud Ahmad-"Tezeta" everything from Ethiopiques 10 really 4. Lifter Puller-"Plymouth Rock" The Streets - "Not Addicted" the beat in this song makes me feel like I'm on a shit ton of coke ha ha. Manu Dibango - "Lily" only one of the seven funkiest grooves ever to shake human ass.

DJ Shadow - "Untitled" I once knew a dude who had this as his answering machine message. Tom Waits - "Black Wings" one of the first songs that ever actually scared me. Bob Marley - "Small Axe" that little organ "duh duh duht" is just so catchy and right. Mates of State - "Whiner's Bio" this is a great song for drinking coffee and cleaning on a rainy morning. Lies, damn lies and statistics! New day, new list I am feeling twee, obv except for Ruff Sqwad. New day, new list, blah blah blah It's a damn entertaining song, what can I say?

I can't download music, I don't have access to any of my old mp3s and I have no money for new music.

My listening lately has been a retreat into the dark corners of my collection. Top eleven most played on i-tunes: Goldie Lookin Chain is on my list twice. I'm a muthafuckin G from the streets of Tufnell Park. Tim, this is the best one yet I reckon. It's very quiet and over half of it is a capella. And its on the same 12" as the Kohncke one, thus saving money! These songs have made it onto two separate mixes I made lately: RTX - Resurrect R. Yeah, I been talking about that Rok-One record too! It's lame but awesome! The Rok One track is somewhere between a parody and a tribute. I think it's fantastic.

Has he done anything else? This Dave Douglas thing I'm listening to right now. Tom Wais is on it. I can't remember what it's called.

This makes me wish Pilai would make more music I actually like 7. Oh so amazing like I cannot believe. Where did she go? Mondo Grosso - 'Everything Needs Love' Cornelius Remix the best part is the ultra-gorgeous middle-8, where as she sings "raindrops", Keigo deploys "drop" samples.

I just heard a bunch of good songs on the radio, but I don't know if I can stretch that out to I'll postpone the rest. There aren't nearly enough good songs about ducks. No, I was at the Futureheads show in Boston and they played that cover there.

No rights given or implied! Local celebrities including Eric Tsang and Jackie Chan expressed their shock at his untimely demise. It was a serious blow to the Chinese film communitv; fol- louing the suicide earlier in the year of Leslie Cheung. More bad news would follow. On December 30, Anita Mui died at age 40 of cenical cancer. The year was not a good one for fans of Hong Kong cinema. Cheung and Mui have received tlieir fair share of eulogies in the press, but Black Ko Shou Liang has been largely overshadowed and overlooked.

Luckily, much of his vast cinematic legacy is available on home video. Born in Liaoning, China, in , Ko emigrated to Taiwan as a child with his family. His compositions here are tvpically top-notch, the fight scenes characteristically brutish. Blacky Ko once again plav-s one of a pair of Thai boxers, this time kicking the stuffing out of a judo expert before being coated in flour and soundly thrashed by Jimmy tlie fist.

By the late 70s, Blacky had graduated to action director, pro- viding fight choreography with Alan Tsui for the film later recut and retitled S. Ko and Tsui al. He is saved from death by mysterious stranger John IJu, and after Ko undergoes training at the hands of sifu Liu, the duo return to kick villainous butt.

The plot is tissue-tliin, providing for an escalating series of creatively staged battlers and comic banter between tlie three pals T-coifled leader of a gang of motoro'cle thugs harassing locals in Barcelona and ruining business for mobile restaurateurs Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao.

Ko would go on to gamer a reputation as a vehicular stunt ace and reckless daredevil, a Chinese Evel Knievel who jumped the Great Wall on a motorcycle and the Yellow- River in a sports car. After directing the superb cop-buddy action comedy CL RW'.

Harsh and unflinchingly brutal a Japanese rcxrruit is casually raped by fellow Legionnaires, who proceed to mock him, prompting him to kill himself , the film is tight and sleek, witli excellent action and stunts, including a desert raid to save tlie Kuw-aiti royal fiunily! In tandem with his sporadic directing career, Ko spent tlie s onward becoming a solid character actor, often playing villains and creeps. S, tlie former playing an ex-con w-ho wants out of tlie triad life, the latter a lowly betelnut seller who w-ants in.

Wong Jing scripted the amusingly- episodic tale of a waitress turned prostitute turned moll turned, well, queen of undenvorld sic , and her resulting rise and fall and rise and fall and ups and downs and ins and ouLs and — you get the picture. Ko appears briefly as a rotten cop wlio rescues Vip from her former lover, pimp Ngai Sing, only to tic her up, cheat on her, and beat her child.

Amy geLs her revenge with a pair of scissors, leaving Blackv' less than a man. Amy Yip, this time as a tough but tender prostitute who leaves Taiwan to follow her man to HK. Sadly, after a good first act in Taiw-an, the HK section plays out like a series of unrelated seg- ments, introducing new characters, killing them, moving on to the next. Without the tongue-in-cheek self-referentiality' of QniE. Cui Jian sings the end theme. Relative newcomer Kwok, who initially made his singing reputation in Taiwan, peppers the soundtrack with his early Mandarin hits, and poses for no particular reason with the band Grasshopper.

Naturally the cops from the two territories clash before making peace and mopping up the despicable criminals. In addition to constantly singing to himself throughout the film, Blacky croons the title song along with Andy Lau who wrote the lyrics. He kidnaps and tortures a female cop — no ear evisceration however — leading to the climactic three-way gun-pointing. To put things in context, in director Lawrence Lau directed GANGS, an acclaimed drama with a nonprofessional cast, about disaffected Hong Kong youths living an unglamorous and unpleasant life of petty crime.

Tlie slorv' is predictable but engaging, despite logical lapses and some unclear exposition. The inevitable tragic end- ing provides the opportunity for another Blackw song, while the surviving cast members cry in the rain iuid the credits roll, ioodbye, young thug, and KIP Blacky Ko. LFR was based, and co-authoring a number of tight and efii- cienl gang. The difference here is the nature of the caper; while die wives of four men are away on a one-day vaca- tion, the men have planned an elaborate day of clandestine phi- landering.

Pang relates their exploits in die form of a suspense- ful crime story, resulting in a dazzling gang. Erie Tsang plays the big brother and mastermind of the scheme; Teresa Mo is the sharpest of the wives and the first to realize that something is amiss. The copious cameos alone make it a joy to watch Sammo! In the interest of completeness. In die interview fixilage, clubgoers reveal that Shenzhen is preferable to HK for partying, since die dmgs are cheaper and more plendful even the waiters sell them , die girls are looser, and there are no undercover cops.

For more of my relende. If he never found a home with mainstream audiences, it's because his style tends to wander way, way far out.

Now, from a privileged distance, his films find comfortable homes close to both neighborhoods, with the visionary filmmaker himself the good-natured landlord trying to gentrify the disparate environs. His return to form with HUGO POOL and the promising rumors about his follow-up produc- tion may spark a much-deserved revival and change the books somewhat. Downey is an auteur of the best kind, with a vision both clear and warped, who needs much closer attention. Downey was bom in in Manhattan as Robert Joseph Elias. The army may not have been the best choice for Downey - his inde- pendent spirit wound up getting him into all sorts of trouble - but some formative experiences led him to begin writing.

I just wanted to get out. I was a wise guy asshole, and ended up with too many court- martials. Maybe you should write something. Around this time, Downey began writ- ing plays, produced well off-Broadway. I always liked her. I asked her to be in one of my plays, because I knew she could act and be funny. Then she was planning to go away to do summer theater up in Massachusetts, and before she went, we decided to get married.

By all accounts, this lost film sounds like many of the underground shorts coming out of New York City at the time from the likes of Robert Nelson and Ron Rice. Various sources date the film between and Downey soon found himself a part of an already thriving underground film- making scene. People used to lend each other equipment, and give each other extra film.

He was like encouragement central. I used to kid about him because he was so revered. Then when he gave me a couple of nice notices, it helped me a lot. From here on in, Downey had entered the film business full time, for better or for worse. He had a right-wing advisor and a left-wing advisor who kept switching positions all the time. He pushes the nuclear button and we had stock footage of missiles going up in the air.

Then they froze and the voice of God gives him a lecture on manners.

Are You an Author?

It was a very funky movie. That was kind of what really put me where people thought maybe I could do something. Downey met Wolf at a bar and recruited him for the movie; he apparently liked acting and stuck around for another half dozen films. He was actually a harpist who was the opening act for Lenny Bruce.

Then he became the musical director of Second City in New York. He directed a reading of one of my plays and then he became the busiest director at the Cafe la Mama. I came up with this idea where a girl came from Indiana for the summer, and she would pay for her vacation by having sex with guys and then go back and teach school. During the whole film there was this really nice guy fol- lowing her around. Finally at the end of the film, he strangles her.

There was a beautiful girl who worked there, so I asked her if she wanted to do it. It opened on 42nd Street, and it started to get an audi- ence of people finding it amusing. I guess it was more fun than it was sexy. A real off-beat pro, and a pleasure. He worked very hard, was always devoted to the project. All the times I worked with him, he put a lot of thought into it. She was pregnant with their second child during production, so the amount of energy she puts into each personality is yet more impressive. Lawrence Wolf also plays a number of parts, from a no-bullshit psychiatrist to a madly gesticulating street loony.

The film is comprised almost entirely of black and white stills, with the occasional transition into motion film. Dinsmore dies and goes to the gates of heaven - a courtroom with a sultry Mary Magdalene Elsie Downey and a Filipino midget as God. The movie briefly switches to color until God casts Morgan right back into the world.

I love it when you wear it, my heartstrings go aflutter. I love it when you lacerate me my back feels just like butter. Dinsmore had previously indicated his lyrical ability during a brief foray as a poet: I met my miniskirt nymphet on a cross-Atlantic jet flight. When we arrived in Barcelona, We were very surprised Because Barcelona was where we took off from.

Dinsmore meets a Nude Lady who recommends he namedrop a couple of big under- ground directors - Jesus Mekas and Gregory Miraculous - in order to get a part in the latest New York experimen- tal film. In the ensuing scenes of a rag tag hoity-toity film production, Downey shows both reverence and distaste for this newly chic genre. It was educational, but boring, to say the least. But at least it was an alternative. He created some highly experimental commercials one of which fea- tured Robert Jr.

I had things laying around and decided to put them all in one film. It did well, it got some nice reviews. Then Robert Kennedy got shot. It ran a couple of months at the Bleecker. The roots of this revolution- ary satire came from an experience Downey had while working at Filmex. This cane-wlelding eloquent loudmouth runs around the company talking about bringing down the Man, all the while looking out for his own needs and interest like any other watered- down radical.

Allan Arbus, recently divorced from his wife Diane, has his first of a string of roles in Downey films. Star Arnold Johnson has a great look, but working with him proved something of a challenge due to his inability to remember his lines. This almost proved the end of Johnson's involvement in the film. They all asked me if I was kidding. I had one more screening with a producer, and Don Rugoff walked in. He owned Cinema 1 and 2 over on 3rd Avenue, the Plaza, the Paris, a bunch of theaters, and was also a distributor. Reactions to PUTNEY run the gamut; natu- rally, the film has a strong cult following as well as a fair share of strong cribcs.

They were obviously uncertain what they were getting into when they agreed to do POUND PV 36 , Downey reports that after an early screen- ing, one studio executive said he was under the impression that the film was to be animated. The dogs and one penguin , all played by human actors, struggle to come up with an explanation for their impending exterminabon. Their behav- ior and conflicts seem somehow more pure, certainly clearer, than human conflicts. It allows for an unusual approach to dialogue, mostly based upon the assumed short attention span of dogs, such that one line rarely relates to the next.

Intercut with this story is the tale of the Honky Killer, in which a wealthy white playboy terrorizes New York with a series of mur- ders, ostensibly committed by a black man singling out whites. The dogs waiting to die match the fear of each member of the city plagued by a serial killer, the famil- iar feeling that today may be the day somebody takes your life. Since this is a Robert Downey film, the social commentary avoids pedantry, much less suggesting a solution, in favor of a somewhat cheerful portrait of chaos.

POUND received an X rating for its language content, which undoubtedly hurt the film's box office performance. It was quickly in and out of the theaters. They were ashamed of it. The head of the studio said it was 'a disgrace. It did no business.
