AND JUSTICE FOR ALL… ON THE WAY TO WORK

So for god knows what reason I’m being forced to work at 4:45 this morning and have a 12 hour shift. God save me. For my 45 minute commute I need to charge my cell phone, and can’t aux at the same time. I’m listening to my CD of Metallica’s And Justice For All… and I am kicking ass and taking names!! I know it’s basic, but I love AJFA and master of puppets, these albums just kick ass I love the guitar tone. Super quick and melodically not too hard on the ears, this is a great start to Metal if you never have listened!! One is maybe a top 5 song ever for me but I also love Harvester of Sorrow and Eye of the Beholder, if I had to pick a few. Bonus - the live Seattle ‘89 concert on here is amazing and tied for my favorite live album (with men I trust). Enjoy lord help me

Lust for life (LP) by iggy pop

every time I give this a relisten I’m always shocked by how consistently great it is as an album. Obviously, “The Idiot” gets a tonne of praise and deservedly so, and even though this album helms a lot of Iggy Pop’s most popular singles, I never see people talking about it as an album and what it does brilliantly. even with “The Idiot”, Iggy Pop was very much performing under David Bowie wing and environment- a lot of dark and brooding electronics and atmosphere which complimented Iggy well but, here he is definitively Iggy Pop. I think people forget that “punk” music (which Iggy hated the label of) doesn’t necessarily fall into a genre, more so an attitude of performance. This is proved time and time again in this album, as Iggy covers styles of hard rock, blues rock, ballads and soul- all unmistakably polished with a punk edge. Punk isn’t the music you play, just how you play it (at least I think so), and it’s so obvious that Iggy and the band just had a blast recording and performing this, they don’t take themselves seriously, if anything, poking fun at the restrictions of rock and pop songwriting in the process. Yet, the album never feels like it’s smarter than you, it’s inviting you in to feel the excitement. Such a blast of a record, if you need a pick-me-up like I did today, give this a whirl!

Black sabbath

been on a Black Sabbath kick recently, a lot to be said. their debut is more or less an Evil Blues album, during the coke era there are some oddly great hits (It’s Alright, Spiral Architect, and Dirty Women are basically evil ELO songs), Changes is a spectacular ballad, that first four or five album run is practically perfect, but Dio is also a phenomenal singer. listening to Master of Reality at 13 while learning what weed was was a total life changer…

the A24 Business Model

Hi Rodeo! I’m Frank. I’m Tyler’s cousin and a filmmaker in Orlando Florida. I wanted to chime in and just say I totally get what you’re saying about A24 films. They’re not everyone’s cup of tea. there are some A24 films that I absolutely adore, and others that I absolutely loath (Personally). I’m curious which films you saw? One of the reasons A24 is a divisive company amongst general audiences, while being praised by filmmakers is due to their business model. If you don’t know it, I’ll give a brief explanation. A24 began solely a distribution company. Instead of making films, they started bidding and buying films from independent film festivals. They sought after unusual, artistic films that most other studios wouldn’t seek out, as a means to give independent filmmakers a platform, while also making their catalogue vastly different than what other company’s were producing. They’ve since begun actually producing films for their more successful filmmakers (Robert Eggers for example) and paying for them to make whatever kind of films they want. It is A24’s philosophy, that giving filmmakers The resources and the creative freedom to make whatever movie they want, without interference, leads to great movies with greater financial success. This has led to a new renaissance in the independent film industry as of late (love to see it) where filmmakers don’t feel as pressured to make what is considered a conventional movie. We can get weird, and we looove that. Point is, it’s my belief that the hype around A24 and its movies do not come from every film being a banger, but rather its choice to allow artists to be artistic in their craft. With that said, I’ll recommend my favorite A24 films, with brief reviews on them. Uncut Gems: The first A24 film I watched in theaters. I love this movie because of the stress it impresses upon me. I am not a gambler, and I do not like to gamble. However, Uncut Gem’s forced me to experience the “Gambler’s High” and brilliantly punishes you for it, just as Sandler’s character is punished throughout the movie. (Also Adam Sandler can ACT man.) The Lighthouse: As a Horror fan, there is no better depiction of madness than Robert Egger’s ‘The Lighthouse’. It’s bizarre, it’s unsettling, and it’s oddly funny. The Green Knight: A charming film with great cinematograph, great performances, and creative storytelling. impressive for an adaptation of the shortest story in the Roundtable ethos of King Arthur. if you’ve seen any of these films I’d like to know what you thought of them. and if you haven’t, please do! And come back to tell me what you thought. Welp, thats a lot of words I’ve now typed for almost half an hour. Take a shot every time I said “A24” 😂 Thank you for your time, hope this helps clarify the “big deal” of A24. cheers!

The Closure outside the wall...

Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is a 26 track, surreal rock opera concept album made in 1979. It was later made into an abstract film in 1982. I cannot recommend both of them enough. If you are the kind of person who has a tendency to isolate yourself in your low points, then this album is for you. The Album follows a character named Pink, who is a fictional combination of Roger Waters (Founding band member, Bass player and vocalist), and Sid Barrett, the original singer and creator of the band who drove himself crazy with his excessive psychedelic usage, particularly LSD. The majority of the Album's story is based on Roger's life, while the character of Pink is also suffering from a form of psychosis due to his drug abuse. Pink is a rock star, and a drug addict. He carries the traumas of his childhood with him everywhere he goes, and it begins to build up, like a wall, brick by brick, until eventually he shuts himself away from the world, behind this wall of his own creation. The story of the album tells the story of how his wall was built, how he shuts himself in, what that does to him, and how he tries to escape it. The story of The Wall focuses on a few key elements. Physical and mental abuse, drug addiction, infidelity. War, poverty, casualties. Isolation and self loathing. I however believe it can be applied to almost anything, and anyone. Because the Wall is at its core, a metaphor for trauma, tragedy, and the human condition. It's about how we cope with our own traumas, and how keeping it in, and letting them haunt us forever can be most toxic. The Wall is about closure, and I believe anyone going through a hard time can find their own closure by the end of the album if they listen to it beginning to end. I cannot recommend it enough. You should watch the film if you want a clearer idea of what is happening in the album. If anyone gives it a listen and has any questions about it, hit me up! I'll happily talk more about it.
