Captain Beefheart / Don Van Vliet
‘I’m Gonna Booglarize You Baby’ (197?, 42 MB, 4:57 min.)
I’m as astonished & excited today when I listen to the music of Captain Beefheart
as I was in 1970, when someone loaned me a copy of ‘Strictly Personal’ &
shivers ran up & down my 13 year old spine.
He was, & is, one of a kind & today music’s loss is visual art’s gain.

‘About half way through this, I realised I was unconsciously structuring it with the work
of Jacques Rivette in mind. So it’s a kind of tiny tribute to a master.
The music is my arrangement for Tuba Quartet of the Pixies’
Is She Weird? played by Tubalat on their Hall of Mirrors CD.
Thanks to them & thanks to Anna, Jack & Mimi.’
from Michael Szpakowski.

Hal Hartley – Fay Grim trailer
Fay Grim trailer (2007, 10.7MB, 1:54 min)
In the case of Hal Hartley I feel so at odds with the world’s
apparent consensus that I fear for the balance of my mind.
Why is he not feted as one of the world’s smartest & most inventive directors?
Why did folk briefly seem to understand in the early nineties that something
special was going on, then bizarrely seem almost immediately to forget about it?
It beats me, it defeats me.
Here is the trailer for Fay Grim, touted by some as Hartley’s return to form
Me I think he never lost it.
Yes – it has moments that feel eggy, awkward and mystifying but
then so does La Divina Commedia.
2 gigabytes of ipod Mary?
Rather unusual, this: a clip from the BBC’s putative yoof
channel, BBC3, that is both funny & smart.
