a dark and brooding masterpiece
when i first heard sowing season i knew i had stumbled upon something special, such a restrained piece of music with melancholy singing into these punk/indie esq guitars, it was unlike anything i heard at the time, not to say the rest of the devil and god follow this laid out path, but it's a very restrained piece of music, only letting it's restraint go at certain points for the ultimate moment or chorus, the masterpiece of this album has to go to limousine, it starts off slow with soft singing and acoustic guitars until the vocals and guitars kick in, after that it slows down again, letting the soft and passionate singing take centre to then build up to this brooding and beautiful catharsis that when it peaks is some of my favourite music ive ever heard, both conceptually and in practise, i encourage anyone who sees this to listen to the devil and god, it's a brooding masterpiece that surely won't disappoint

After @Andy K 's review, I moved this film up on my to-see list and watched it after Honey Boy at my local indie theater. I'm so glad I did.

The movie clocks in at over 2 hours long, but it didn't feel like it. The interesting thing about the title, is which family are the parasites referred to in the title. The tension is on point, and when the climax of the film finally hits, it pays off.

I don't want to say too much more about it, only that it's a must-see.

Rolling Stone's 498th greatest album of all time
I would have said I knew this album, but there a couple of songs I didn't know. Packed full of indie bangers (I am the Resurrection, Waterfall, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored), a true classic. But a surprising amount of filler in this album, including Don't Stop (Waterfall played backwards) which made me feel a little sick. I would have expected this album to be higher up the list, but I am guessing the US base of Rolling Stone has dictated this somewhat (the NME list has this at 94th).

Movie Favorite

"It’s my favorite documentary, and that’s just because of its characters. It’s about two ‘90s indie bands, the Brian Jonestown Massacre (the lead singer Anton is a truly wild crazy guy, completely out of control) and the more successful Dandy Warhols. They envy each other and end up having this super Shakespearian love affair/friendship/rivalry. It’s an example of how great storytelling can get you unbelievably engaged, whether you have any connection to the world of the film or not. If it’s human, it’s human. For me, this film is as important among docs as Goodfellas (1990) is among narrative features."
