Aha. That would be something if they ever did that.
-
I think that is right. I guess Paul's son James does solo shows. A Beatles blog I read had a write up about it. Dhani has a band I think. Zak is playing for The Who again. And Sean did that album with Les Claypool.

I recall reading somewhere a while back that they (the Beatles adult children) were going to form a group. I am guessing that was just some sort of made up rumor.
-
I think it has been pushed back to sometime in 2021. There is also going to be some sort of boxset and a book.

This is where I’ve been spending most of my Netflix time as well. Black Spot is great, too.
I have not yet watched that one. There is another one I like that I can not think of the name of at the moment.

I loved Criminal UK’s 1st season. I forgot that season 2 was released last week.
The reason I posted was to ask you the important question: are you watching Dark with the subtitles or dubbed in English? I really want to check that one out.
I watch everything that I can with subtitles. It’s the best. Lots of times it’ll tell you the artist & name of a song.
English -
Dark is a heck of a show -

I have become quite fascinated by various European shows on Netflix this summer:
Bordertown (Finnish)
Dark (German)
Criminal UK, France, Spain, Germany
Signs (Polish)
The Five (UK)

I had to enter it a few times. And then it worked.

I am surprised it went on this long. I don't think I saw the last season.

Soul America - 3 x 1 hour BBC music doc.
Seen 1 (origins and pop - to Motown/Stax) & 2 (civil rights and 70s). Will probably not bother with episode 3 when it gets all "Mr Lover Man".
A collage that only skims the surface but always nice to see some good clips and hear some stories from those that were there and odd moments - like the keyboards player from I Never Loved A Man The Way That I Love You talking about coming up with the riff.
Also, Mavis is one of the talking heads.
Never heard of Wattstax before, so that's something.
In other news, Up to series 8 of my rewind of the entire Spooks oeuvre (a few episodes a week since BBC put them all up on iPlayer as a Lockdown balm).
Glad to hear that What We Do In The Shadows has fellow admirers. There is the original film too in case you didn't know. And Matt Berry fans really should check out Toast of London.
You can probably find Wattstax on Youtube. Sometimes it is there - sometimes it gets taken down.

That Joshua Tree show was amazing. Just as good was the 360 show, at least the night I saw. I go way back with U2. I'm about the same age as them, so lot of common ground musically. They played a tiny bar in Seattle between Boy & October (famously, the handwritten lyrics for October got stolen here). I was 20 & couldn't get in due to liquor laws at the time. I made up for it on the War tour. Saw them in a 2000 seat theater. For a long time I kind of went back & forth on them in direct correlation to the amount Bono talked, haha. I think my favorite show was the arena Zoo TV show with Pixies opening but its close. They definitely have the stadium spectacle down, performance & sound-wise. Even the Stones lifted some concepts from them like the small stage in the crowd.
You know some years back that suitcase was found in someone's attic and returned to Bono.
-
I can understand that.
(Another stop on the time machine tour - be in the audience of the Red Rocks show)
-
I've hardly ever played that one.
-
I hear you on the re-mixes. I don't know if I will buy this or not. (Another BS thing is a booklet with a bunch of photos. I was listening to my Led Zeppelin cds the other day and thought how nice it would be to read something about the recording. Nope - just a bunch of pictures in the slim booklet.)
-
That's what I am thinking. I will wait until it pops up on Amazon Prime or Netflix.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
Bill & Ted Face The Music
Previous to this weekend I had only seen bits and pieces of the first two. I know these movies were popular when they came out but I don't think my generation really caught on with them like we have with Back to the Future, Wayne's World, Ferris Bueller, and other movies from that era. Both the first two films have homophobic slurs which obviously, were bad at the time and haven't aged well at all, but also feel needlessly mean and harsh for two films that are otherwise very positive.
Excellent Adventure kind of felt like the Gen-X equivalent of Scott Pilgrim. It was really fun, the characters were charming, I had a few good laughs. Overall it was a great time, if a little... surface level.
Bogus Journey though... might be the most creative movie I've ever seen! I friggin loved it. The whole movie was surreal and absurd. It's like no one once said "hey is this too much??". Everything with Death was just, great. They beat him at boardgames, take him to heaven, mug people for their clothes, and then meet Station. It's insane! Seriously look how great this character design is:
And the good robots might be the best looking robots I've ever seen in any television or movie:
It feels like Excellent Adventure spends a lot of it's time laughing at Bill and Ted but Bogus Journey just embraces the stupidity and becomes something completely unique because of it. I feel like Excellent Adventure was the one I heard the most about which is a pity because Bogus Journey is a god damn classic.
Face The Music was a lot of fun and is probably as good as a sequel to a comedy 30 years later can be. The daughters were great and stole the show. Everything about their fallout with Death was just perfect. It didn't equal the highs of Bogus Journey for me (really, can any film?). It felt like a combination of Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey but it also didn't feel like it tried to do anything new. Outside of Twin Peaks I can't think of a decades later continuation that did something new and felt satisfying, so that's probably for the best.
I ran a pizza shop back in those days. We had two guys from NJ that hung out in the place about everyday. They were a real life version of Bill and Ted. I recall they used the term "poofter". And one of them carried around a B.C. Rich guitar. I don't think I will watch the new one. Although I might if it shows up on Amazon Prime. I recall trying to watch Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. I could not get into it.

I was going to say LOL on this:
The two remaining discs in the CD version of SUMMERTEETH: DELUXE EDITION feature a previously unissued live show. The concert took place late in the Summerteeth tour, on November 1, 1999 in Colorado at The Boulder Theatre, when the new songs had been road-tested and the band was in top form.But we don't have a source for this show. And I have never seen it anywhere. So the LOL is on me.
-
I'll have to check that out. You and I both hope someday for a giant Rattle and Hum re-release.
-
Good Idea. There are discs in there with a bunch of unreleased performances. I am going to watch those later today. (I think I paid 30 bucks for it. I see now it is listed on Amazon for 85 bucks.)
-
I guess there is some talk about a All That You Can't Leave Behind anniversary release.
-
I'm watching the Woodstock 40th Anniversary dvd boxset I bought in 2009 but never watched.
-
I don't know that guy.
I think I was there once or twice.
-
Love Bukowski.
Oddly enough - I was in the Military with a guy who lived in Riverside. I don't recall his name though.
-
I think I have read a lot of people are now experiencing delays in having things delivered.

I wonder if this the same live UT album that suppose to come out years ago. The timing of this release is interesting - as someone just put out a upgraded version of the show.
