There will be magnificence in "There will be Blood"

I don’t want to talk about those things. I see the worst in people. I don’t need to look past seeing them to get all I need.

I’ve built my hatreds up over the years, little by little, Henry… to have you here gives me a second breath. I can’t keep doing this on my own with these… people.

-Daniel Plainview

Question Of The Day for today!

What do you get if you take the following;

• a brave and artistic director who understands the kernel nature of cinema,
• a magnificent soundtrack which out-hermanns Bernard Hermann,
• cinematography which captures the nature of space, light, shadow and darkness,
• an exemplary cast of supporting actors (most notable of whom, the great Paul Dano)
• archetypal tales from the Old Testament,
• a pinch of JR Ewing type soap opera;

and of course,

• one of the greatest acting performances ever seen.

Well, you get this. There will be Blood. A masterpiece of modern cinema.

The scope of this work is vast. It attempts and to a great extent succeeds in the nigh impossible task of creating a little world that in microcosm tells of the origins and genesis of the industrialised USA.

It wastes no time and starts off magnificently.

Without need for dialogue, Anderson manages in the first quarter hour to set the bedrock for the movie and show the elemental fight between an unforgiving landscape and an elemental man hewn from that land, the ruthlessness of nature and the ruthless nature of man.

These scenes alone capture the true essence of cinema, the wonder of what cinema can be but rarely if ever is.

Under the backdrop of a wonderful Bernard Hermann style score from Jonny Greenwood (who knew there was a great musician in Radiohead!), and with classic cinematography, the raw physicality of Lewis’s performance creates a majestic and visceral opening to a piece of cinema that is up there with the greatest.

It continues for over two hours more and does not relent in its pursuit, in its excellence.

The movie sets out to explore the darkness, greed, inhumanity that lies at the heart of industry, at the very soul of man.

You’re a bastard from a basket.

Just a bastard from a basket.

BASTARD FROM A BASKET !

-Daniel Plainview

All of this is helmed magnificently by Paul Thomas Anderson and driven on-screen by the perfect complex performance of Daniel Day Lewis as Daniel Plainview, a tormented, driven, ruthless industrialist hewn from the stone of the Old Testament and the rock of capitalist greed.

Anderson, in his previous work of greatness “Magnolia” explored the dark complications of modern society through the fucked up lives of members of an apparently perfect and successful family – a family which was actually incredibly dysfunctional and ripped apart by various vices. Here, Anderson sets his scope even higher and manages to create one of the most majestic pieces of cinematic art of recent times.

Within this work, one can almost hear echoed, the voices of the greats; John Ford, Terrence Malick, Pier Paolo Paosolini, Ingmar Bergman, DW Griffith, Béla Tarr, Andrei Tarkovsky, Orson Welles. This piece of classic cinema is of its time yet timeless, and like all great art will be with us forever.

How this didn’t clean up in the Oscars is totally beyond me! Comparing this majestic work to “No Country for Old Men” (which removed almost all of the subtlety of Cormac Mc Carthy’s source novel – as well as screwing up the plotlines into a senseless mess – and turned it into the “Texmex Terminator”!!) is like comparing “Blood on the Tracks” to say, “Slippery when Wet”. In other words, a fucking joke!

Another wonderful shot from Polish Artist r3nya.

We love her work!

A complex self portrait, this. We love the flashes of red amongst the layers of darkness and the reflection effect!

It’s like an awful glimpse into the dark dark soul.

Kinda reminds me of a chick I encountered at 6am last Saturday morning when stumbling home near comatose from the Emergency Room gogo bar! I’m never drinking Jack D again!

‘Fifth Beatle’ Neil Aspinall loses cancer battle

‘Fifth Beatle’ Neil Aspinall loses cancer battle with Sir Paul McCartney by his bedside

By LAURA ROBERTS –
Last updated at 22:26pm on 24th March 2008

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/

The man known throughout the music industry as “the Fifth Beatle” has died from lung cancer.

Neil Aspinall, who controlled The Beatles’ music empire for more than 40 years, passed away in hospital in New York yesterday.

Sir Paul McCartney flew to the U.S. on Saturday to be at the bedside of the 66-year-old as his condition deteriorated. It is understood he had battled the disease for past two months.

Fab Five:

Neil Aspinall with the Beatles in January 1964. He was their accountant and business adviser for 40 years and even sang backing vocals on Yellow Submarine

Aspinall started work for the band as the £1-an-hour driver of their battered blue Commer van. He became their confidant and accountant, as well as contributing to some recordings, playing percussion on Magical Mystery Tour and singing backing vocals on Yellow Submarine.

In 1968 he took over Apple Corps, the company set up to manage the Beatles’ business interests.

In a statement released on behalf of Sir Paul and Ringo Starr and Beatle widows Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, the company said: “As a loyal friend, confidant and chief executive, Neil’s trusting stewardship and guidance has left a far-reaching legacy for generations to come.

“All his friends and loved ones will greatly miss him but will always retain the fondest memories of a great man.”

Aspinall resigned as chief executive of Apple Corps 11 months ago to run a small film company from his home in South-West London.

A former smoker, he was being treated at Manhattan’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre after being transferred from a London hospital. Suzy, his wife of 39 years, was at his bedside yesterday along with his five children.

Loads of Rilo Kiley records!

Rilo Kiley have been the darlings of the indie music press for some time now.

They were even played on an episode of Bob Dylan’s majestic Theme Time Radio Hour this season!

Last year’s outing Under the Blacklight didn’t really do much for me. I liked some of their earlier stuff though.

Oh, Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins was pretty good too.

But, of course, sometimes the most important criterion we apply here on the Last Bastion to our critical judgments of musical acts is less the racket they make, rather the racks that they shake!!

Yap, we love rockstars with pert full boobies (female rockstars anyway) and therefore, on that critical basis, we hereby deign Jenny Lewis / Rilo Kiley to be officially “great”!

Lou Reed – Live: Take No Prisoners (Japan MiniLP)

Catalog #: BVCM-37746/47

Some classic Reed recorded live at The Bottom Line in NYC (where else!) by Record Plant Mobile over the nights 17 – 21 May 1978.

Here Lou and a top band blast off a slew of true classics with loads of typically acerbic comedic Reed new-yawwk banter in between!

I notice that in the band is one Moose Bowles. Isn’t that some sort of serious gastro-intestinal ailment?!

Info here: http://www.minilps.net/japan-m…..ml#content

“I do Lou Reed better than anybody ….. so I thought I’d get in on it,”

Recorded during a week of shows at New York’s Bottom Line in 1978, Live: Take No Prisoners presents Lou Reed the Standup Comic, doing schtick on Patti Smith (“F*ck Radio Ethiopia, man! I’m Radio Brooklyn!”), political activism (“Give me an issue, I’ll give you a tissue, and you can wipe my ass with it”), and the agony of playing “Walk on the Wild Side” (“It’s not that I don’t want to play your favorites, but there are so many favorites to choose from!”) while occasionally pausing to play a song.

As a comic, Lou is no Lenny Bruce or Bill Hicks, but he’s funny by fits and starts (and he plays guitar better than either of them). On the odd moments when Lou is focused enough to actually perform a song from start to finish (such as “Pale Blue Eyes” or “Coney Island Baby”), he’s in fine form, sounding loose but enthusiastic, but those moments don’t happen especially often, and this album plows through a mere ten songs in close to 100 minutes, which gives you an idea of just how far he stretches out here.

If you’re a fan who wants a look into the mind of Lou Reed, comic or otherwise, Live: Take No Prisoners certainly fills the bill, but if you want to hear Lou actually play his music, you’re better off with Rock N Roll Animal or Live in Italy. But then again, as Lou himself points out, “What’s wrong with cheap dirty jokes? I never said I was tasteful.”

Hank Williams Keeps Coming Back

The darkness is falling, the sky has turned grey
A hound in the distance is starting to bey
I wonder, I wonder – what she’s thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten – without any love.

Hank Williams Keeps Coming Back? Don’t worry, Hank hasn’t become a mad bloodthirsty zombie or something! It’s just a metaphor. Metaphors aren’t usually that dangerous!

Here’s an interesting piece about the Dylan Thomas of the Traintracks, of the Ezra Pound of the Prairie, the Sam Beckett of the Badlands!

from http://www.cmt.com

NASHVILLE SKYLINE:

Hank Williams Keeps Coming Back – A New Interest Revives the Country Pioneer

By: Chet Flippo

(NASHVILLE SKYLINE is a column by CMT/CMT.com Editorial Director Chet Flippo.)

I sense a bit of a Hank Williams resurgence ahead. He’s never really gone out of style since he died 55 years ago from a fatal highball of drugs and alcohol. What Roy Acuff termed as Hank’s “timely death” at age 29 has made him country music’s forever tragically-doomed poet, the Baudelaire of rural Alabama. A romantic legend from the land of piney woods and red dirt.

Even when his records quit selling and his record label was messing up his recordings by layering strings and other glop all over them, the beauty of the songs remained undimmed. And he’s still a shining beacon for country songwriters. For the ones who really want to be good and not just successful, that is.

One of the best tributes I’ve read about Hank is in a current magazine. You should check out the April issue of Road & Track. Peter Egan, one of the best writers laboring for magazines these days, is a musician himself and decided to take on the odyssey of recreating Hank’s last and fatal drive. Egan was not a lifelong Hank or country fan. Like me and many other country music devotees, he grew up loving rock ‘n’ roll and hating country. It wasn’t until maturity brought him some perspective and sense that he began listening to the music of his heritage and grew to love Hank Williams.

For his pilgrimage, he bought and restored over two years, at considerable effort and expense, a 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood and had it painted the same powder egg blue as Hank’s 1952 Caddy convertible. For his journey, he packed it with supplies, including a large supply of Jim Beam, because, as Egan wrote, “This was not a Pat Boone memorial tour.”

Then he and a friend set out from Egan’s Wisconsin home to begin the attempt to retrace Hank’s 800-mile drive from Montgomery, Ala., to Oak Hill, W.Va. Hank was trying to make it to a New Year’s show in Canton, Ohio, but expired in his Cadillac’s backseat well short of his destination.

Egan does a good job of recreating the Hank era on the road. A lovely picture accompanying this article shows the restored Caddy next to Hank’s gravesite in Montgomery. In researching this article, part one of two, one of the things Egan learned, that I hadn’t known, was that Hank had bought his Cadillac used and paid $5,202 — which was more than the original buyer had paid new, only $5083.95. Some things don’t change. Never trust a used-car salesman.

I hear that part two of Egan’s odyssey will include some new revelations about Hank’s last days. Stay posted. Oh. One more thing. A 1953 Caddy Fleetwood V-8? Gets 13.7 miles per gallon on the highway.

Other signs of renewed Hank interest include a new Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit, a major release of previously unreleased Hank radio broadcasts and a revived interest in Hank tours.

The Country Music Hall of Fame is opening a new exhibit devoted to the extended Hank Williams family on March 28. I just got a long preview tour, and it is an extraordinary presentation indeed. Look for more coverage on that soon at CMT.com.

A new series of two- and three-day Hank Williams tours visit his birthplace, his childhood home, his church, the gravesite, museums, his Montgomery and his Nashville.

One of Hank Williams’ almost-hidden legacies over the years has been the lost radio shows he did known as the “Mother’s Best” programs, named after the sponsoring flour company. The broadcasts, on Nashville’s WSM in the early morning hours in 1951, were recorded only on flimsy discs, and those were later thrown out as garbage by the radio station. Fortunately, they were retrieved from the trash cans and have languished in Nashville for a number of years. One attempt was made to release them with added instrumental tracks — now recognized as heresy, then regarded as “sweetening.” Fortunately, that effort failed. One record label tried to release them and lost a legal challenge.

Now a deal has been struck to issue a series of “Mother’s Best” CDs, with a total of 143 songs. I have heard a number of those early recordings, and they are remarkable, indeed. It’s just Hank and his road band gathered around the early morning microphone on 15-minute radio shows, with an occasional appearance from Audrey Williams, and Hank breaking to read commercials for cornbread and the like. Those were humdrum in their day, but to hear them now is electrifying in the sense that they give you the significance of real everyday life as conveyed by homegrown music and food, as opposed to MP3s and YouTube and fast food. You pick what you want.
