Album Favorite

"Björk’s Debut and Post were mind-blowing records at the time—that somebody could use electronic beats and then do super innovative stuff with it. Then she continued doing things that explored lots of different other areas, with the Greenland Choir and with sounds made with the mouth. Once in awhile you see this amazing total artist, where you go, This person thinks about the stage, the shows, the costumes, the record covers, and the music, and it’s all part of a total thing."

Nathan Lee recommended By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volume One (2010) in Movies (curated)

"Of all the titles in the Collection, this may be the one whose content is most radically altered by the shift from film to video, projection to electronic display. What’s lost in translation—flicker, physicality, the sheer thingness of a Brakhage film flung through space—is made up for by our ability to study the intricate compositions, structures, and rhythms in detail. Taken frame by frame, it’s like owning a Brakhage monograph with 350,000 plates. Is Commingled Containers the most beautiful of all films? Yes."

He watches the earth with a giant all-seeing electronic eyeball. Satan sends a demon to corrupt the children of earth, and only you-know-who can stop him. And that’s only the beginning…"

Book Rating

Tina Fey is totally hysterical and this book would have gotten a full five stars if she hadn't kept telling the listeners to refer to pictures and illustrations in the PDF version (Lady, don't you get it? I'm listening to this for the main reason that I CAN'T read it on PDF)! (An aside: I think you seem more strange laughing out loud when listening to an audio book than when you laugh out loud when reading from a physical book - electronic or print.)
