In an effort to promote Celine Song’s blank-eyed romcom Materialists last summer, A24 listed the director’s “movie syllabus” for similar big-screen romances that would set the mood for the picture, ranging from obvious Jane Austen-inspired connections like Autumn de Wilde’s Emma. to headscratchers like the Robert Altman murder mystery Gosford Park (huh?).

SWEET BLUES trailer from bsarles on Vimeo.

Lecture 13: One of the best music documentaries of the last 20 years is Sweet Blues: A Film About Mike Bloomfield (2013), directed by Bob Sarles, an outstanding film that chronicles the life and times of Blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield (1943-1981). This trailer does a splendid job of capturing the film’s essence. Bloomfield, like his hero, B.B. King, specialized in Blues guitar music, but he – also like King (and Muddy Waters) played a vital role in bridging the electrified Blues of the 1950s and 1960s with the coming of Classic Rock in the mid-1960s. It’s no surprise, then, that a number of important musicians, such as Carlos Santana, Bob Dylan, and Jerry Garcia revered Bloomfield. While most Rock ‘n’ Roll histories tend to omit or downplay his contributions, I believe he’s worth spotlighting for his innovative Blues guitar style and his enormous influence on an entire generation of rock musicians.

Saw a youtube comment calling Sir David Attenborough the ‘patron saint of planet Earth’, and I gotta say, they’re onto something

I just watched the PBS special American Masters on Sun Ra. To me, he remains peerless in philosophy, sonic experimentation etc within the sphere of modern music.

Ever since I first heard about him when I was a teen, I’ve found him incredibly fascinating and inspiring.

Please watch it if you can.

Hope’s Still Alive in Eddie Vedder’s ‘Matter of Time’ Concert Film

There’s a particular gravity to watching Eddie Vedder perform on his own. Without the band, without the familiar roar of a Pearl Jam crowd, what’s left isn’t catharsis — it’s intention. Matter of Time understands that shift, and it’s why the film works. This isn’t just a concert movie, it’s a document about responsibility.
