p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Thanks for your thoughts on Kubelka's work. I disagree with you, of course, but that's showbiz, ha ha. Have I not had a decent Paul Bowles Day here? Maybe not. That's very strange, isn't it? Hm. Let me see what I can find and how I can make something, even focused on one of his books, if need be. Thank you for the alert and push. ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh! Ah, I'm so happy to hear of your enthusiasm for Kubelka's work! I totally agree about its militancy and purity, yes! I feel so lucky to have been at the right age and inclination to have gone to ... gosh, I'm forgetting what the series was called, but there was an amazing experimental film series in LA in the early 70s. My friends of the time and I were total devotees. It took place at this little theater that no longer exists in the last western-most block of Melrose right before it merges with Santa Monica Blvd., and I think later the series moved to LAICA on Robertson? I think the guy who ran and hosted it was named Doug (something)? They showed the works of all the great experimental filmmakers of that era and before, including your dad's, and I saw so many amazing things there and had my sense of art and what was possible completely enlarged and reinvented. I was just at this amazing bookstore here, Section 7 Books, last night, and they had a book of photos of the SF punk scene by Bruce Conner, which I had no idea existed, and which was really unexpected. Maybe I'll just read the early part of Kim Gordon's book about her Cal Arts and Mike Kelley days because that sounds extremely interesting, yes. ** Sypha, Hi, James. I'm looking forward to that reissue/expansion of 'England's Hidden Reverse' too. I don't think of that as being about recent rock history except maybe in loosest sense. It would spectacular if you want to and have the time to finish the 'La-Bas' post, obviously! Thank you very much for wanting to! ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. I looked a little into the dogging phenom, and, yeah, it's kind of depressing. But interesting, of course. Great about the panel, and whoo-hoo about the meeting on Friday! ** Dóra Grőber, Hi! Me too. About the video. No, 'Candy' was not to be found at the bookstores I hit yesterday, but I realized that I can just order it, so I will. It's always so nice to buy a book in a bookstore, but Paris is not exactly a treasure trove of English language bookstores. You're heading into thesis writing? That sounds so intimidating, but I never wrote one myself. I quit university, for better or worse. Those interviews do sound really interesting. Do you have people in mind whom you want to talk to? Does your thesis have an overall theme or, I don't know, point? My day was good. Uh, my pal Zac and I saw a show of work by the architect Renzo Piano and then hung out and then went to probably my favorite bookstore in Paris, Section 7 Books, and spent way too much money buying things. It was nice. I hope your day is one that is worthy of you. ** Steevee, Hey. Yeah, what's sad to me is that people who are serious about film now mostly act like the great experimental filmmakers don't exist and aren't a significant part of film history. When I make posts about people like Kubelka and am looking for texts and links, I realize that very many of the major film critics of the 60s, 70s, and even into the 80s a bit wrote about and reviewed experimental films in prominent places. Now, well, you hardly ever see experimental film written about seriously or even referenced in prominent English language newspapers and magazines. I have the impression that a lot of newer film critics literally have not even seen that work. I guess that's part and parcel of a general conservatism about and neglect of non-narrative film, writing, theater, etc. these days, but I find that depressing, naturally. Fantastic news about your interview with Tsai Ming-liang! I'll be very excited to read that! Very cool! ** S., Hey. Well, me too. I could do chords but leads sand complicated stuff, no way. I think I mostly liked the guitar's weight. Actually, Beck played a gold flaked number, or he did at the point that I was into him. I forgot about Valentines Day until you just mentioned it. Huh. They do do it over here. Another post! Everyone, S. follows up his very recent new work/post, as you were alerted to yesterday, on his always enticing blog, with this new thing which looks equally attractive and disturbing in that way that only S. can manage to devise. Hit it. ** Armando, Hi. Don't feel even the slightest bit bad, my friend. I just wanted to point that out because you made me think about the blog and my relationship to it and to the relationships I have here. It was just some air clearing. We're good, and everything is totally cool. ** Brendan, Dude, that is one very big painting you made there. And it's very awesome! Cool that Kubelka effected you. Me too. Sweet that you'll get to hang out on the periphery of your friend's film and beyond its periphery. Chunneling over here is super quick and easy, so, yeah, please do! I'd love to take you to dinner too. So, I guess that means we'll have to have two dinners. ** Chilly Jay Chill, Hi, Jeff. Really nice interview with Gregory over at Fanzine. Last I heard, our producer people had managed to get the DVD release held back until early summer, and we're currently scrambling to try to set up screenings of the film in the US before the DVD/axe falls. Based on my experiences in that regard, I have to say that film programmers in general are about the flakiest people I have ever had to deal with. I saw a guest-post by you in my mail this morning! Thank you, thank you! I'll set it up and get back to you with the launch date right away. Woods ... do I not know of them? I think I don't. Or I'm spacing out. I'll go look. Thanks! ** Misanthrope, I kind of figured. About Kubelka. But there are probably as many American English words rooted in French and Spanish as in Latin. I just feel like learning Latin at this point would be about as useful as learning how to repair a transistor radio. That story about your co-worker is really, really sad. Jesus. Sad. ** Chris Dankland, Hi, Chris. It is, right? 'Pause!', I mean. Cool, I'm really glad the post interested you. Wow, that's great news about the Zachary German book! For me too because my copy is sitting in my apartment in Los Angeles. Thank you! Everyone, Chris Dankland tips all of us to the fact that 'Thank You', the new book by the great Zachary German, former d.l. of this blog and author of the contemporary classic novel 'Eat When You Feel Sad', is now a pdf that you can download for free! This is big! Don't deprive yourselves by not clicking on this link and getting yourselves a copy now. Fantastic! Thanks a lot, Chris! Best day to you! ** Rewritedept, Hi. Neu! is a nice way to spend one's ears' time. No, my hair was never great. It's just there and always has been. But I guess I always figure out a way with work it. My favorite Cure album is 'Pornography'. Hope your day is a goodie. ** Right. Today's post results from some whim I had one day not unlike posts here occasionally do. Hence, there something is. See if my whim is infectious or not. See you tomorrow.
