Yeah, Jesse, we talked about this album a bit in messages. Thanks for that, by the way.

My apologies for any derailment of the thread I've caused.

i don't really know how anyone could answer that question, to the extent that i recognize it as a question at all. maybe that's why it has remained unanswered. m Probably. Oh well. I was just trying to get to the bottom of certain gestures in that album. Man, lately I've been thinking that I don't ...

I'm kind of surprised that after five months, more people haven't responded to my question here about Particles and Smears : If track 4 is my favorite track on the album, have I missed the point of the album? For those of you who don't have the tracks with you, I would say that track 4 seems to be o...

I wish some people had gone up onto stage Easier said than done. There's always that invisible barrier between the stage (such as it was in this case, more like the end of the cellar room) and the public. When Mattin, or anyone else, actively involves the audience by stopping the show and inviting ...

Ingmar Bergman, Cries and Whispers , 1972 Why do I continue trying to "get" Bergman? I had to stop after about 40 minutes because of sheer boredom. Try Persona or The Seventh Seal and if you don't "get" those, I'd give up. Haha. Okay I'll give Persona a try. I guess I should have mentioned that The...

I would have liked seeing this. Too bad it's so far away.

What do you mean by "communicating a reality"? I don't mean to pick on you by asking this.

I know nothing about Xenakis, so I won't ask about him specifically. Is Nakamura's intent with improvisation to express his reality?

Who is this "hipster chick"?

Skin Graft - Blackout
Tim Hecker - An Imaginary Land

I didn't really keep up on new releases this year.

I wish some people had gone up onto stage and tried to assuage their crying. I would think of it as people blurring the lines between performers and viewers/audience. I get the feeling Mattin would have accepted that. Perhaps he even hoped for it.

I'm not being sarcastic either.

Matteio Garrone, Gomorra , 2008 What timing! This film has been on my mind recently because we're showing this at my university tomorrow evening. Think I might postpone that holiday to Naples. Bleak, squalid, scary, very well done - but not a film you're likely to want to watch again and again, I s...

Looks neat.

What's that?

and have invented the two dot ellipsis.. For some reason three dots feels too long ... see what I mean? Maybe not. Dude, that two dot ellipsis will go down in grammar history as your invention. recently watched: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6095/munyurangabo.jpg Lee Isaac Chung, Munyurangabo ...

That looks very interesting.

I'm really enjoying hearing so many new voices (well, new to me).

heh, without the time to listen to that track right now, Lou, the cut-up thing Kevin was doing early on was something special. Just like what you like, though! For the full cut-up fury, his first disc on perdition plastics of solo guitar is the bomb. Thanks. I don't suppose that first solo disc is ...

I know there are a few of you in my area, so this is for you. I’m the Vice President of the International Film Society at Kent State University. We are showing these films free of charge to both students and the public. The time we start is 8pm on the noted days. The films will be shown at The Kiva ...

I like that little ihm icon too.
