Here's a nice profile on the Kansas City indie label The Record Machine — which is celebrating 20 years of slugging it out. → https://www.thepitchkc.com/20-years-of-music-label-the-record-machine-at-the-middle-of-the-map/
I do some work with the label through my publishing company. Head-guy Nathan is smart about the music biz and also really dedicated to his scene. All of the label's recent signings are excellent, but I especially dig Monta At Odds and Believers → https://www.thepitchkc.com/20-years-of-music-label-the-record-machine-at-the-middle-of-the-map/

New on the blog: I spoke with experimental musician and 'reluctant scientist' (my term) Greg Davis about his process, the magic of Max/MSP, owning record stores, and the dichotomy of his album, NEW PRIMES. I was also able to throw some movie-watching in there. Enjoy! → https://8sided.blog/greg-davis-fourteen-tones/

❝ Bresson’s masterful “Pickpocket” is dissected, juxtaposing the brilliant monochromatic work onscreen with some of the director’s writings on film … ❞
The excellent video embedded at the link — on the subtle techniques Bresson used to film PICKPOCKET — makes me want to immediately watch this movie again (and finish the rest of the French auteur's filmography) → https://theplaylist.net/watch-4-minute-video-essay-robert-bressons-pickpocket-20160511/

❝ In the ‘70s and ‘80s we all had our fun, and now and then we went really too far. But, ultimately, it required a certain amount of clear thinking, a lot of hard work and good make-up to be accepted as a freak. ❞

I just watched STUMP THE GUESSER and I think it's my favorite Guy Maddin joint I've seen yet. It's a dizzying, often comical sensory overload and deliciously compact at 20 minutes long. If you have the Criterion Channel then be sure to queue this up for tonight — I believe it's gone from the service tomorrow. → https://youtu.be/J51zLyjWQlg

I just revisited this fantastic 2015 Nerdwriter video essay on CHILDREN OF MEN (Alfonso Cuarón, 2006). → https://youtu.be/-woNlmVcdjc
If, like me, you're a fan of Cuarón's masterful and eerily prescient film, the essay will likely add a few new layers to your appreciation.

Last night I watched Robert Bresson's 1959 masterpiece PICKPOCKET. The act of crime is portrayed as poetically as one man's path to emotional revelation.

Well, the first passing I learned about via my Mastodon timeline and it's a devastating one … R.I.P. Keith Levene, guitar mangler extraordinaire.
This, my friends, has always been my favorite video on YouTube, hands down. What Keith does here with rhythm, noise, a guitar, and a synthesizer shatters the Fermi Paradox. He was an alien reaching out to us. If only we knew how to properly receive the signals. → https://youtu.be/-anvnBMG01Q

❝ In spite – or, perhaps, because – of all this, his name remained unexpectedly little known. He found his exclusion from dictionaries of 20th-century art hurtful. “I’m not even in this one,” he would sigh, thumbing plaintively, adding, “I’m quite a well-known artist, you know.” ❞

❝ The peculiar strains of Raymond Scott’s music and the screwball slapstick of the Warner Bros. cartoons were a match made in heaven, although I’m sure part of what appealed to Carl Stalling was Scott’s penchant for descriptive titles. Instrumentals like “Reckless Night on Board an Ocean Liner” and “Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals” were readymade for inclusion in cartoon scores. ❞ → https://www.cartoonbrew.com/cartoon-study/raymond-scott-powerhouse-80th-anniversary-226143.html

❝ Cleanliness is important to the successful functioning of such a delicate apparatus, and the employees take pride in their work. They often lug up a trash bag filled with rags, and use Simple Green cleaner to leave the towers gleaming in the sun. This is the first generation of West Virginians to trade work underground for work up high. ❞ → https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/28/the-blade-runners-powering-a-wind-farm
