I can't remember exactly, but this truism must be from the movie "Brazil", from one of the propaganda posters.
Here's a picture of that cool little car those kids stripped in the movie. It's a Messerschmitt K something.
Trust In Haste, Regret In Leisure
1. Eartha Kitt "C'est Si Bon"
2. Sugar "Hoover Dam" from Sugar, the first album by Sugar.
3. The Chips "Rubber Biscuit"
4. Bertrand Burgalat "Ma Recontre"
from the Laurel Canyon Soundtrack. (There's a few cuts from that album here). I like how pleasant the song is, then at the end it's like the studio owner insisted his son play a clarinet solo. Only his son is horrible and nearly ruins the song. Like that one guy in the Sugarcubes whose dad owned the music shop they got all their instruments from.
5. Tom Waits "Big In Japan" from Bone Machine.
6. Sage Francis "CrackPipes" from Personal Journals
7. Mouth Sounds Tutorial from the 365 Days Website. I'm still looking for it...
"you will notice that it has an Africated release"
8. Segue into Stereolab "Metronomic Underground" from that Emperor Tomato Can Jalopey Frantic Misnomer album or whatever.
9. Gil Scott Heron "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"
10. The Briefs "Come Dancing"
Subpop Kinks Tribute. Linoleum Blownapart hipped me to a live performance of The Briefs once. It was grand. I thought someone was maybe on speed. I have fond memories of the original Kinks song.
11. Mercury Rev "In a Funny Way"
from Laurel Canyon Soundtrack.
I love the movie. Even though there's legitimate problems with it I'm still fond of it. It can be lumped into the category of films that you could skip the last 10 minutes of
and still leave with the impression of a masterpiece. or something. Perhaps it's Frances MacDormand's character and performance, or just Laurel Canyon itself geographically and botanically, but I've not found a good reason to dislike it.
12. Sonic Youth "100% " from Jet Set, Trash And No Star.
13. Aretha Franklin "The Weight"
A cover of The Band song. Aretha respects the melody(unlike her "I Heard it through the Grapevine"), and nails it. Unfortunately, I can't find a version that's not pinned, distorted. Maybe a reissue someday. Tom Sharpling calls The Band "Canadian Civil War reenactors". Probably, that's not entirely fair. But it is funny.
14. Soundgarden "Fourth of July"
I, too, have heard "Spoonman" too many times.
15. Song praising the religion of Enkankar.
Read this before you listen. It'll maybe prevent you from being brainwashed.
"At The Grass Roots" from Song In the Key of Z.
Personally, I know I can recite the lyrics verbatim any time, anywhere.
Can you? Yes, that's a challenge, punk.
See you in Hell----------EKANKAR!
(Thrusts sword in air)
There's more where that came from, if you've got the stomach.
16. White Stripes "Seventh Son"
17. The DeZurik (Cackle) Sisters "Old Dan Tucker"
From 365 Days Website
18. Sage Francis
Can't remember the title. still looking
19. Leonard Nimoy "Highly Illogical"
20. Beat Farmers "Happy Boy"
21. Nick Cave "Lovely Creature"
from Murder Ballads
22. Erik Satie One of his greatest hits.
I need to find the title.
23. Robin and Crystal Bernard - "The Monkey Song"
from the 365 Days Site.
The Image is from the film Brazil.
Brazil is VERY fun, but then again I have only seen it over a hundred times, I may not have perspective anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe funny is always coupled with pain. So much pain...
ReplyDeleteYou are strong, mighty, and you can kick!
But for most, it is not fun...
