The Jon Brion Show - the VH1 show that never was. Well, one of them. This is the iteration filmed by Paul Thomas Anderson after the first pilot was canned. Jon x Elliott cover The Kinks, Lennon, Big Star, Smith songs, and play my favorite version of Jon Brion’s “Trouble”. Some people think Elliott seems really depressed but I’ve always thought this was the most normally he’s ever behaved. It’s friendly and tender and sweet.
++ Brion produced Fiona Apple’s first taste, in case you’ve ever wondered why the instrumentals r soooo heavy.
can't say anything about this that isn't going to embarrasss me. It's perfect.
in this, Malkamus almost seems human.
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Do not watch with your squeamish friend and make sure that you don’t read anything about this movie before you watch it. It is kind of disgusting. Thanks.
Amazon Review Poem from Daniel Malette titled “Birthday Gift”
It was on my daughter's Amazon wishlist.
Of course, she was very happy with it.
Inside the lives of a canadian couple and their song Bogart during the late 60s. Pioneering this kind of documentation of the 'real', Billy and Anionette don't just trapse around in orange jumpsuits and scream at eachother about buying harpsichords - it's funny then it's brutal and then it's a little funny one more time. Not for those who are allergic to boredom. Pay no mind to the words HANDJOB in the file name of this movie there is NO HANDJOB.
One of Lee Hazelwood's fever dreamy albums made short films. Lee and his harem wander through a series of Swedish dreams. I'm starting it towards the end to ensure that we all witness Lee and the girls suicide by ocean & hear the pinnacle of the album, "Vem Kan Segla".
