New Sounds: “Overlook” / Disquiet Junto 575: On Ice
This was a quick run through the recording process for the Disquiet Junto. Every year starts with the same prompt: record ice hitting a glass and make something. As the prompt requires, I recorded ice hitting a glass. I used my iPhone and loaded that audio into the Fluss app that I’ve been wanting to … Continue reading New Sounds: “Overlook” / Disquiet Junto 575: On Ice
Marginalia #16
Comedic anarchy that feels like the Marx Brothers meets MAD Magazine–though MAD didn’t exist in 1941. There’s a great dance sequence provided by Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers with music by Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart. Beauty! I can’t explain the excitement of discovering this release. Blood Harvest features Tiny Tim as a potential killer clown. The … Continue reading Marginalia #16

While I love the various free services out there, especially the ones offering cult films, Shudder has been producing amazing original content, and … Continue reading At Horror DNA: Blood Relatives Review
New Release: Trey Lane’s The Black Scrolls of Golden Age Ufology
Trey is a longtime collaborator and friend. His tastes run so diagonal to mine, it’s frequently difficult coming up with parts when he asks me to. But that challenge is also a lot of fun, But Trey’s a fine bassist with a unique feel and doesn’t need any bass from me. I tend to get … Continue reading New Release: Trey Lane’s The Black Scrolls of Golden Age Ufology

I was able to read the second edition that’s coming out next year. Great as a reference, especially if you consider the scores and credits sequences more interesting than most shows themselves. It’s fascinating to get an insight into the process and how it changed over time. The arrangers must have been mainlining speed in … Continue reading Marginalia #14
