So who's your favourite director these days? Doesn't have to be a single favourite, I find those absolutes change too often to be accurate. Ballparks are better because quality in movies fluctuate.

Nolan is up there. I connect with every film he does.

I like Neil Marshall and am excited for his chance at a big budget flick with Hellboy.

James Wan has impressed me and I might be the only person interested in Aquaman.

A few other up and coming people in horror too.

Mike Flanagan and Fede Alvarez off the top of my head.

[cat_sidhe]

Also, I was quite pleased with your songs in the last song tournament you took part in. I'm not sure what kinda guy I figured you for but you didn't disappoint. :lol:

Sorry I’m not in your spooky song tournament. I don’t want to spread myself too thin and neglect some things.

[cat_sidhe]

But then I shouldn't have a tantrum because you liked the Friday the 13th remake, and there's a special place in CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE for you guys. :p

[cat_sidhe]

Sorry I’m not in your spooky song tournament. I don’t want to spread myself too thin and neglect some things.

It's ok, it's my first time running it so it's ok with the amount of players I have right now. I shouldn't get too ambitious with things I'm not sure of.

[cat_sidhe]

What tv shows are you currently really into, and what are you looking forward to?

Do you go to live concerts?

[TheUsualSuspect]

What tv shows are you currently really into, and what are you looking forward to?

I don’t go to concerts.

Currently watching way too many shows to the point where I can’t keep up. Big Mouth, American Vandal are funny shows. I need to start watching Better Call Saul.

Both. Weekly I watch The Good Place. Highly recommended.

[cat_sidhe]

Both. Weekly I watch The Good Place. Highly recommended.

I binge watched the first season of that. It was pretty good! Any older shows you always meant to get to but never did?

[TheUsualSuspect]

The Sopranos. Never watched it.

[cat_sidhe]

The Sopranos. Never watched it.
Ooooooh....hope you haven't heard too much about it. Especially not the ending. The internet sort of exploded over that so I'm not sure it's possible to have escaped that.

*********! Well the ending doesn't actually spoil the series. Not really.

Have you seen Justified?

[cat_sidhe]

If you were in the movie business, which side would you want to be on. Script writing, or one of the more technical aspects?

[TheUsualSuspect]

Oh I saw the ending. No escaping that one.

*********! Well the ending doesn't actually spoil the series. Not really.

I have seen the first episode. Want to see the rest.

I would do script writing. 100%

Well I hope you keep at that. You've sold some stuff, and who knows....just...keep going. :) It's be GREAT to see your name in the credits of a movie some day.

Is that one of your dreams? (not a literal dream, a goal dream)

Dream would be to make a comfortable living off that. Name up on big screen would be beyond that.

How does it work? Do you have an agent or is it literally word of mouth between people who make movies?

You’d need an agent of some kind for sure. I’m currently trying to write a book too. Self publishing with that one.

And that's a wrap from both of us here on CatChat, 97.1 MoFo FM. A GREAT BIG thank you to TheUsualSuspect for joining me and to all of you for tuning in and participating. It's been great fun. <3

Signing off with a song I raided from TUS's closet :lol: yes I went back there. So after this word from our sponsors, here's the Beatles and Nine Inch Nails with "Come Together".

Also, don't forget to join Citizen Rules and MovieGal's 80's Teen Movie HoF (https://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=58031)

Catch you all next time and until then

Be good or be good at it. :kiss:

I LOVE YOU FOR THAT!!!

But seriously, so glad you had fun. It really did feel relaxed and now I don't think I'll ever feel like I can't approach you. I hope anyone unsure about your being quiet sometimes reads this because you have a lot of warmth, and you chat more than people would think, just as long as there's something to talk about! :)

I still may hit you up about MoFoSoap. It might make sense to have only two writers who relieve each other and the actors go wild. Something to think about.

Now go have a FANTASTIC Taylor Swift free DAY! <3 <3 <3

[rauldc14]

When do I get a go?

[cat_sidhe]

When do I get a go?

Citizen Rules is next on the list (I've decided it's best this be a weekend thing), and after him the list is clear. Want me to slot you in? :)

[Ms. M]

It's my fav broadcast. I don't switch even during an announcements.
Good job :up:
I'm looking forward to the next one guest (I'm his huge admirer)!

[Austruck]

Austruck is a writer as well.

I'm limping along, yup! :D

Good afternoon/evening/whatever it is where you are today :lol: and I'm joined by Joel. How are you doing? What have you been up to this weekend?

[Joel]

Hi. I'm leisurely working on a film short, double color vinyl album editorial, black metal drum track, and later will be cooking a steak on an iron skillet with a necklace clamp phone cam because I'll be searing it.

How's it going?

[cat_sidhe]

Jesus. That's way more productive that I imagined. :lol: Black metal drum track? What's going on there?

I'm pretty chilled out. Lucky you. :D

[Joel]

That probably sounds like a lot but it isn't because I am close to being done with all of it. Except the steak. Haven't started those yet lol.

[cat_sidhe]

That probably sounds like a lot but it isn't because I am close to being done with all of it. Except the steak. Haven't started those yet lol.

Still, finishing 3 things in one go is like having the mother of all dumps. :lol:

Expand a bit more on these projects...

[Joel]

Black metal drum track was played with my axiom 49(?) key controller, hooked into music recording software via MIDI. What I didn't realize was that once I started to use the on-board black rubber bank smaple pads on the controller, I could get a real drum feel with loudness/softness in my hits. Velocity sensitivity I think. So I'm glad that I didn't attempt to play the track with my fingers on the actual PC qwerty keyboard because I would't be able to have any ghost notes in there. But the track is the almost final touch on an adaption of a Bill Wyman score from 1981. An exotic latin arranged adult jewel heist movie.

How many people involved in the black metal project or are you doing it all yourself? Do you have an illegible logo?

[cat_sidhe]

Do you feel the urge to run around the forest with corpse paint and tv antennas?

[Joel]

iT'S A SECRET LOVE LETTER TO AN OLD HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH, WHOM i FILMED ALREADY. i TOOK THE OPEINING TO THE 1981 FILM BY m-oops caps, sorry..I took the opening designed by Maurice Binder (James Bond into guy) and replicated the shots of the gil. All decked out in emeralds. Rings, necklace, etc. She seemed kind of into it but probably scratching her head about why I proposed we do this.

I want to dirty up the footage I got by projection onto household items, and then mix my adaption of the romantic Wyman tune by giving it a black metal/gloom makeover.

[Joel]

It's just me on the instruments. Instead of strictly guitar power chords, I am mixing in actual full chords (IE-C) with power chords for a full and emotional sound. That way I can still call back to the original vibe of the Wyman version but be able to get away with heavy distortion. The bass is a lot of DEEEP power chords, like Lemmy style, except gloomier. That's why the whole black metal comparison. I know nothign about black metal, but from what I have heard, this resembles it.

Sounds interesting. You going to put it up on Youtube when it's done?

What's the weirdest thing you've ever made?

[Joel]

But now that I have vomited my mid day whatever, what about you? Am I allowed to ask questions? I am still not sure how this particular format works haha

[Joel]

She doesn't know that I have a crush on her as much as I really do. She most likely suspects I have it a little sweet on her. It's obvious, but I don;t pester her or call her up or anything clingy. It's very adult. Which is why this song and project is perfect for this. I can walk away unharmed (as can she), and we both have a trophy. It's better than nothing. Much better.

[cat_sidhe]

It's a relaxed chat (but with guests as the focus) so yeah of course you can ask questions. It goes where it goes. I'm about to have a glass of red wine.

Do you ever perform your music live?

[Joel]

Most everything I make is weird, lol. But this early try at filming/editing a fire party might be pretty out there.

Also a bit haunting.

[cat_sidhe]

How are things going at work? Still under so much stress?

[Joel]

Yeah it is. It's a bit deranged, too. haha.

But I feel strongly about it. I think in a way it's a wonderful artistic gesture because it deals with actual desire and romance, and the work is based off of that. The technical side helps smooth out the reason behind it. I'm not in love with her but I have a little crush. Perfect fuel

[Joel]

Work is good. Life is good. The only things that need fixing are all right in my head lol. That's the real work. It's definitely beyond 60 hrs a week! The side job stuff haha

[Joel]

What about your job? How long have you been there? Do you hate it?

[cat_sidhe]

Work is good. Life is good. The only things that need fixing are all right in my head lol. That's the real work. It's definitely beyond 60 hrs a week! The side job stuff haha

I think it's like that for most people. The head part. Creative outlets help to some degree.

What about your job? How long have you been there? Do you hate it?

With the company, almost 2 years. In this particular shop, about a month and a half. Yeah, I kind of hate it. I'm good at it, but it's just not the right fit for me so it takes a bit of a toll.

[cat_sidhe]

Do you spend all your off time doing creative things? Are you a bit of a hermit?

[Joel]

I can be a hermit. It depends. I have cycles haha. I enjoy alone time. Especially for creative things. I figure when I have a decent stockpile ready to go, I'll be back to hitting up shows, dinners and open mics again.

[cat_sidhe]

Open mics? As in stand-up comedy or does that include music acts?

[Joel]

I don't do stand up but sometimes others do. It's usually for music. I have a buddy, a fearless buddy - who does an open mic every night of the week. He's certifiable.

[cat_sidhe]

And now for a few MoFo related questions:

What's your favourite aspect of MoFo? What's the most difficult? Who do you miss, and who do you wish you got along with better?

[cat_sidhe]

The lines are open, you know the number...0-800-CATCHAT.

[Joel]

And now for a few MoFo related questions:

What's your favourite aspect of MoFo? What's the most difficult? Who do you miss, and who do you wish you got along with better?

Favorite aspect is I guess just the means to express opinions on film, etc..sometimes goof off when needed.

Most difficult..nothing anyone else does. It has become a bit of a habit for better or worse. I sometimes idly poke around when I'm trying to get motivated

I miss SC and wish I heard more from MonnoM about film shorts, etc, but he/she keeps up with new trailers well enough.

I don't wish I got along better with anyone to be honest. The ones I haven't gotten along with is for good reason.

[Joel]

The lines are open, you know the number...0-800-CATCHAT.

I just tried calling. Must be my cell service

[Citizen Rules]

The phone lines weren't too busy for me and I got through on my third try, probably thanks to the good old landline...Big fan of the show btw!

I have a few questions for Joel: When was you last relationship? And what happened there? Are you planning on staying single, or do you hope to hook up with someone in the future?

[cat_sidhe]

Favorite aspect is I guess just the means to express opinions on film, etc..sometimes goof off when needed.

Goof off, aka drunk rants? :D Hey, not knocking those. Had one or two myself. :lol:

I miss SC

You and me both. Hope he's doing ok.

I don't wish I got along better with anyone to be honest. The ones I haven't gotten along with is for good reason.

Some animals just don't get along.

Last real relationship? Much too long ago to disclose. I'm an alone type of person. I still have the occassional fling but for solidarity - there's not only a lot to learn, but, part of the learning is learning how to choose someone who is right. It's incredibly difficult for me to fall ass backwards into a great relationship. I don't know if it's the geography or just not wanting to go to church functions, bars, or online dating, but, all of it turns me off.

Hope that answers your questions.:)

[Joel]

my most embarrassing moment was when I had toilet paper toilet seat covering hanging out of the back of my pants at work at the bank one day..right in front of my work place crush. It was AMAZING!

Right? What a day. The story leading up to it is even funnier but I'll save that for another day.

Pick-up lines..no. Not yet haha. I am soft spoken so, in a loud bar or show I'd be screaming into her ear. I hate that. I hate it when ppl do it to me.

If it was a place like Cheers, maybe. But where are those places? Nothing but big TVs blasting shltty sports and funky dishwater smells.

"Hey there. I noticed you were sitting down alone.

Can I borrow $5? I'll pay you back with sex."

[Joel]

So are you saying you choose the wrong ones for relationships? Is that just because of circumstance? Or are you subconsciously looking for the wrong type? And what was the wrong type?

I absolutely settled for the wrong ones. Sex can be a powerful drug, and for it to even be considered soemthing like a drug, something is very wrong there. My choices have all had one thing in common with me - we never had a thing in common - except good sex drives. haha

Are you a private person by nature or just on this topic?

[ynwtf]

Hey Joel. Just waking up and heard the static. Sorry I'm late to the show.

Seems you're pretty deep into music and video. What's the history there? Was that the case in high school as a starting point? I imagine we're right around the same age so were you running around with a friend's VHS recorder as a kid? I'm always curious on the inspiration side of things.

Same question for music.

You come off as very active. Quite the opposite for me as I procrastinate. I'm pretty sure that when I was born, I was all, "meh. I'll get around to it..." What motivates you to stay in motion? Is it even a consideration? Or are you naturally just an active personality?

[cat_sidhe]

Right? What a day. The story leading up to it is even funnier but I'll save that for another day.

No time like the present! This (and my lying game) is funny story territory. :D

Pick-up lines..no. Not yet haha.

I'd pay to see that, though. Like, only if you were completely ****faced. You know the kind of confidence tequila (the devil) gives? Yeah. :D

I am soft spoken so, in a loud bar or show I'd be screaming into her ear. I hate that. I hate it when ppl do it to me.

Are you attracted to quiet women or firebombs?

:lol: God, sports bars here in the suburbs can be awkward as **** if you're English speaking and are drinking with another English speaker. You suddenly get an older, blotto Swede standing by your booth like something out of Paranormal Activities, watching you sleep. :lol: Then they awkwardly try to communicate. :goof: In city center it's not like that.

I started video back in 2012. Before that I knew absolutely zero about it. I've always been a film maker at heart, though. For sure. Even in HS I once skipped school, grabbed a vhs camcorder with no working electronic viewfinder, and filmed all the classes and hallways activity, including preppy girls out on the bleachers, interviewing them. I never got punished because everyone expected me. I was a serious nut in school. I did whatever I wanted. It was crazy thinking back on it. Embarrassing even. People just "gave up" on me. lol

Music was all my life. I'm not a prodigy or anything. I just enjoy it as an exercise or an activity. I'm interested in it, and it's relationship to people who make it, and people who listen to it. I stay active because I am trying to leave behind some kind of legacy. I don't want to just be the odd one who never got anything done. I want to have music and film be my questions and answers to life. Like a letter.

[Joel]

cat_sidhe

I prefer women on the more reserved side. Only because then I won't feel so bad when I am quiet. I like the quiet a lot. I think the test of a good relationship is being able to just be quiet together without the nervous urge to always be speaking in fear of awkwardness. I think more is said in quiet than when people are talking at each other, and let's face it, voices have gotten louder, and more knifey. I hear it everywhere. People are panicking.

[Joel]

By the way, that "panicking" thing was a joke. I gotta be more clear. Hard on internet.

So wait, are you saying that I'd have better luck landing a date with a blonde swede if I moved?

[cat_sidhe]

So wait, are you saying that I'd have better luck landing a date with a blonde swede if I moved?

Well obviously, but I said blotto, not blonde. Trust me, these half zombified creatures that do the rocking-standing thing with bleary eyes aren't exactly your type. I think... ;)

Do you do Tinder?

[Joel]

Haha, right. I misread that.

I've swiped left a few times, yeah. But I don't like it. It concerns me. I'll just leave it at that.

I prefer women on the more reserved side. Only because then I won't feel so bad when I am quiet. I like the quiet a lot. I think the test of a good relationship is being able to just be quiet together without the nervous urge to always be speaking in fear of awkwardness. I think more is said in quiet than when people are talking at each other, and let's face it, voices have gotten louder, and more knifey. I hear it everywhere. People are panicking.

Being comfortable together in quiet often comes with time, and btw the two aren't mutually exclusive. Firebombs can in the quiet together without a problem.

Have voices gotten louder? :eek: I hadn't noticed that. At least not here. Sweden's kind of quiet unless it's drunk. Then, not so much. :lol:

Oh, totally, I agree that loud ppl can be quiet. I just mean that I'm usually not looking for a constant talker because then I'd have to keep up lol. TBH, I really don;t know what type I am looking for. Probably because I don;t have a type, and I'm not really looking. I am celebrating the notion of romance with my work. I think, for right now, that's where I need to be.

[cat_sidhe]

Have you ever kissed a guy?

[Joel]

In other words, I don't really gravitate towards the idea of something like Tinder. It's a very un-romantic way to open yourself up to fate, even though it still qualifies as being a means to do so.

It is unromantic. Are you a spiritual type of guy?

[Joel]

Have you ever kissed a guy?

I haven't.

On the cheek! My dad, by bros..sometimes a buddy..but I've never had a desire for a dude sexually. Ever. Even back in the pre-teen curious days, sure, I may have done a little bare chested male nipple sucking, but I wanted to vomit.

I compare it to reaching down a dirty garbage disposal to find a shiny ring, even though you know the ring isn't there.

[Joel]

Yes. But not active into practice anymore.

OMG JOEL YOU CAN'T SAY "RING" IN THIS CONTEXT! :rotfl:

[Joel]

Oh man, it didn't even dawn on me. YUK!!!

[cat_sidhe]

Looooove is a burning thing...and it makes....a fiery RING. :lol:

[cat_sidhe]

I grew up with boys as friends. I rarely miss these things. :lol:

Yeah, and that firey ring...it'd better be worth it! Gonna need a shot for that now

What's the last movie you saw that blew you the **** away?

And ditto for last album you heard that you just wanted to impale your ears upon?

[cat_sidhe]

Also, why do guys reach for their nuts first thing in the morning?

Is it to check they're still there?

[cat_sidhe]

So where's your music setup? Do you have a separate studio or did you build one in your place of residence?

[Joel]

What's the last movie you saw that blew you the **** away?

And ditto for last album you heard that you just wanted to impale your ears upon?

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen anything that good!

Let me think...

Best album of recent definitely A Moon Shaped Pool by Radiohead, even though it's a few yrs old.

Second up is Flaming Lips Oczy Mlody.

Hmm, for a movie?

I'd say Sideways, believe it or not. That was the last time I went to the cinemas and drove home with my friend and said out loud "that may be the best theater movie I've ever seen">

It's such an uncommon mix of teen comedy with middle aged men. Sophisticated but also broad and stupid.

[cat_sidhe]

Time to play...

Becuase it feels really, really good while you're stretching and can often lead to more than just a fistful of nuts.

Oh I love Sideways. Paul Giamatti, man....have you seen American Splendor?

[Joel]

So where's your music setup? Do you have a separate studio or did you build one in your place of residence?

I have one on the cheap.It sounds expensive because I know how to elicit decent tones and mixes but..it's just a desktop, mini white buffet style table made of all wood with a tower, a pream with tubes, an interface, controller and my basses and guitars. Cello, trumpet, etc...

[Joel]

Oh I love Sideways. Paul Giamatti, man....have you seen American Splendor?

Yes, but not since the theaters. I need to see it again soon I think.

People guess what we're wearing and we guess each other's. See how ball-park we are. :lol: It's only once been fairly spot on.

And oh god why can't you guys aim when you're drunk? Pub ladies toilets once the guys give zero ****s and just use any toilet...the state of them. :eek: Is it like a wild hose effect and I dunno...

Unisex bathrooms...oof, that's rough.

[cat_sidhe]

Alright, don't answer for at least half an hour in case anyone's listening and wants to guess...


I guess you're wearing black tracksuit pants and a grey hoodie.

That feels so wrong to say though, after seeing your recent pic in that colourful sweater. You seem like a colour kind of guy.

[Joel]

A lot of guys are just sloppy. I always aim. If I get some on the rim, I wipe it off after. It's not tough to do. Soap and water, you know? The whole shebang.

[cat_sidhe]

Unisex bathrooms...oof, that's rough.

They aren't, but become such after certain times of night. :lol: I wouldn't have a problem if you guys could just aim those things. :facepalm:

I am not wearing a balck tracksuit and gray hoodie. But I am wearing sweatpants. As for that sweater, it's an at-home thing. I'm usually not that robust out in public. Bit of a dark horse situation happening mostly, the sweater doesn;t work, I know that haha

[cat_sidhe]

As a teenager, did you ever light your own farts?

[ynwtf]

You don't play it. We do.

And someone better be wearing a black cat hoodie with ears at this point.

Runner up: flip flops. Or thongs as they're called in other countries.

Ah sweatpants! That's the word I was looking for. I said tracksuit pants instead as it's the closest thing to sweatpants.

[Joel]

But can I play Cat? Like, can I ask Cat - Cat, are you wearing a white top with black long sleeves and some plaid lounge pants made of a thinner material? I want to say red with a little green plaid, maybe some black in there?

Oh my god. I'm wearing a black and ****e striped hoodie with devil horns. Kinda counts?

[cat_sidhe]

White. Black and white. :blush:

[Joel]

ha!

[ynwtf]

@cat grrr cat_sidhe I guess I'll settle for that.

Joel so specific!

Actually, white top yes, but long white sleeves, it's like a long sleeved T-shirt. Black and white striped hoodie with devil horns over that, black sweatpants. :D Close enough, Joel! Between you and ynwtf you pretty much got me down!

What's the first movie you remember watching? Like proper movie, not Looney Tunes...

[Joel]

Superman II

Incredible theater experience. I mean, for back then. Nowadays it's hokey and all that. But, I can still see what I liked about it. When the woman villain throws the man hole cover into superman's stomach, her voice is kind of delayed, like a slapback delay effect. Things like that made the movie kind of sophisticated and exciting. It was like an exclamation point in the sound mixing. The music score, those percussive concert drums hitting the toms, building tension. Stretchy string arrangements, queasiness in the music. It was a real spectacle.

EDIT: Actually, since the home video and or theater release the mix has been re-tooled so, it'd prob be a real adventure to find what I am referring to.

Oh man, BOND movies back then. They lost something later on, even though it's nothing against the people playing Bond himself... they just don't have the same magic as the older ones.

I loved the first 2 Superman movies with Christopher Reeve. He's always been Superman to me.

[cat_sidhe]

What genre of movie do you like most?

[Joel]

Yeah, me, too. He had the charm and affability. No one can match that. It's an era gone. It's like wondering why dinosaurs can't act in movies anymore. Because they're extinct.

[Joel]

What genre of movie do you like most?

A good hybrid of comedy and drama is my favorite blend of movie. Throw in some sci fi or horror premise and even better. Sadly not many movies do this well, and I have yet to see a film that completely blows me away. I don;t believe a film has ever actually blown me away. I mean, I'd settle for just being blown.

Did your parents' taste in movies and music influence you in any way?

You seem fairly well disciplined (except when drunk :lol: but who is, right?), are you quite hard on yourself in general, I mean....is that how you're able to be so self disciplined that you can get so much done creatively?

[Joel]

Did your parents' taste in movies and music influence you in any way?

My mother's did, yes. She was very hip and ahead of her time. She got me into Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Joplin, Harry Chapin..the american essentials, anyway.

I can be hard on myself. I think we all can. I think that ppl who aren't sometimes hard on themselves are in danger of various things, but I can't say that completely confidently because I can only speak for myself.

Well the upside is that you kick your own ass harder than anyone else so if they do it's a walk in the park.

[cat_sidhe]

Do you have any siblings?

[Joel]

I have my share of issues. I've gotten better at being "wrong", that's not the issue really these days...I'm not sure what my issues are. I know I get anxious and depressed a super lot. I fight it by being creative and trying to see funny things in life. We can be our worst friends to ourselves. It's very creepy, actually. I think. I think somewhere along the line that a lot of people made a decision to deal with their stuff completely undisclosed, especially socially. Me, on the other hand, I think I do it publicly, and that upsets the ebb and flow. I'm often too honest and that is a HUGE obstacle, because I'm also a damn good liar.

[Joel]

That may be one of my biggest issues. I have a problem with authority, I have a fear of being called out and humiliated. I'm sometimes too careful, as odd as that may sound judging from my own account of what I sometimes type "out there".

I haven't been spanked in a while is what I'm saying. I think I may need a real spanking.

[Joel]

I have two older bros, and one older 1/2 bro/same father.

You mean like, hiding how you really feel? Or in which way do you lie?

[Joel]

Which decade of music has the most influence on you?

Probably this decade tbh. It's a culmination of all decades passed, and it is desperately looking for an identity, and can;t seem to find it. I mean, yes you have novelty items but nothign too substantial that asn't been done better and more authentic (obviously).

I want to stumble into the new sound. Even if I have to pretend that I am going to make it myself.

[Joel]

You mean like, hiding how you really feel? Or in which way do you lie?

I usually cannot hide how I feel. I am not a good liar physically, but I can lie well if I am not invested into making an impression on anyone, or something...shlt, i don't know lol

I had a conversation with someone recently about whether music is a dying art or not. He said no new genres have been invented in ages so it's dying. Of course I disagree. What do you think?

I want to stumble into the new sound. Even if I have to pretend that I am going to make it myself.

Eat more cookies. :lol:

Hahaha, so...bad poker player then. :D

[cat_sidhe]

I definitely agree that no genres are getting invented because they aren't even really genres anymore. I think music is still alive, it's just not put out commercially anymore. I mean, yes, you have your Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Bobby Brown drum machine rip-off top 40..but radio is completely dead. Digital radio? That's another thing. It's what's happening now and changing all of the time. It's not settled anymore. You have to really dig for "good" music if you're serious about your music. And even then..it's a lot of melancholy. I still have yet to find something timeless and fun out there being put out currently. Like I said..you have your Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 stuff...but it teeters on the edge of the trash bin. It's not particular. It's a cash in. Doesn't matter they "play their own instruments". They're boring and unoriginal. That's the worst because the gestures they make promise yesterday, as if yesterday is all they have to offer in place of today's mediocrity.

Inspiration isn't dead, but maybe it should take a nap for a while because new music isn't fun for me..OK, I'M OLD! There, I said it.

You've always had to dig though. I think that a lot of new genres are simply filed as "avant garde" nowadays so it seems more stagnant than it is.

I have no idea what's passing for pop these days. It's seriously dire.

I think I need to realign myself to finish off these drums and do the bass fixes, then do my projections for the film, and then cook my steak (in that order). I'd like to leave a few images of what I've been up to this weekend, creatively, as well as the source clip of the film intro I am adapting.

My kitchen as a makeshift studio for re-amping the footage I've shot. I'm projecting up the less flattering shots and saving the primo shots for just regular splicing in. Might be a cool thing.
