That link didn't work for me but I trust you. The Amazon site (or maybe it was Tower) has it listed but still under the 2001 release date, so they may simply have the same one up from years ago. The same one that went OOP. I'm simply dying to get this thing. I bought the other two way back when but blew off M. Hulot simply because I'd seen it so many times, didn't assume it was in danger of going OOP, and was more excited to see the others. Lesson learned. Anyways, thanks. I prefer to buy from my local retailer rather than online. Their prices are the same. I like these guys. And, once shipping is factored in, it's all the same. More importantly......I've got credit there. B) Lastly, I suggest you see this film ASAP. One of my all time faves without question. Who knew that the sound of a kitchen door opening and closing ["thoomp....thoomp.....thoomp...."] could serve as the focal point of a comedy? Brilliant.......

Has anyone bought M. Hulot's Holiday (or even seen it) since it was reissued on the 6th? I've seen Mon Oncle and Playtime on my local shelves but no one seems to have M. Hulot. I'm wondering if it was delayed for some reason or another. Thanks, b.

Listened to some samples of this on tower.com today. I can already tell I'm gonna LOVE it. Thanks for the info.

Coincidentally, Stop Making Sense DVD is the darling of the Hi-Fi expos. Seems like every company making high end a/v gear has one to show during their presentations. 'cause it IS damn good! I'm not interested in whether or not is sounds great on $10,000 theatre systems. $10,000?! Where you been, boy? It takes more than that these days. Way more. Poor and in graduate school, my man. B) Either way, point taken. I hear ya.

Oops. Goofed on that one. I guess I made the assumption that it was a continued narrative simply based on the fact that the added material on the reissue was indeed slipped into various spots within the original order.

Nope, the original release of the Stop Making Sense LP/CD/VHS only had a portion of the entire show. The latest reissue (the one from a couple of years ago) includes several extra songs interspersed (sp?) between the 'orignial' ones. This is to say, placed where they actually ocurred, with respct to the evening's proceedings, instead of tacked on as bonus material at the end.

I'm not interested in whether or not is sounds great on $10,000 theatre systems. I'm sure it probably does but, then again, so do Jerry Bruckheimer movies so that doesn't say anything to me. I simply don't care for the song selection on Stop Maksng Sense. I would rather have heard "Mind", "Cities", "Animals", "Warning Sign", "Born Under Punches", etc.

Well.......it's about damned time. Totally baffling to me why this was never issued on CD before. The two sets isseud on The Name of this Band is... are much better than Stop Making Sense in my opinion. I won't be buying a copy since I have the LP but it's certainly good news for CD buyers.

Yes, the original cover pictured (as an insert) there looks very familiar. We had it at the archive but it never occurued to me to put it on. Oops....

Thanks.

I understand that this is a silly question but can someone please tell me the proper title of this release and who issued it? This is the third time in a month that it has come up in conversation and I'm beginning to get curious. Especially, since Hassan (apparently) played in a style not unlike Elmo Hope. Thanks as always.

I hate to be a stick-in-the-mud but I have a really hard time with these guys. Funny because I rather like King Crimson and specifically the era indicated above (Red, Larks Tounge in Aspic, etc). Come to think of it, those are the only two King Crimson records I like...... Anyways, Tool seems to be going for a dark and brooding "insane asylum" aesthetic that doesn't affect me the way I think it's supposed to. The whole thing seems kind of silly and gives me the impression that they take themselves reeeeally seriously. This is to take nothing away from their competence as musicians, mind you.

Been OOT. But now I'm back (to let you know I can really shake 'em down). Check your PMs. B.

I haven't heard A Second Coming in quite a while but I do enjoy his first one.

Seems to me that it would be nice and cheap for Capitol to license the rights to sought after OOP Blue Note sessions like True Blue, etc over the online iTunes server with very little overhead. Does anyone else see this happening? Why? Why not? As far as I can tell, it's a win/win situation any way you look at it.

You may have also noticed that nearly every hard bop or Blue Note title features Leapin' and Loapin' and True Blue as recommendations. Great records of course but......

This is what I have. I'm not typically a Sony man but this thing is virtually indestructable. The snap-on lid is secure. It's water-proof. And the skip protection is great. I'd pretty much have to go out of my way to make it skip. In fact, it even comes with a hand-strap for jogging, which tell you something right there. Here's the Best Buy link.

63 years young. Let's hope he's doing well......

Both of these are already on DVD. A search for Wild at Heart on Amazon.com: A search for Lost Highway at Amazon.com: There is a Euro version of Lost Highway, but I live in USA. dB Well, I'l admit I was less than sure about Wild at Heart. Lost Highway, though, was entirely too recent a film not to see DVD release. Sure enough, a call to my local video store confirmed that they have it. (In stock, even.)

There was talk over on the Hoffman forum that a DVD release of season two of Twin Peaks will most likely not happen due to the poor reception (sales-wise) to season one. I was all prepared to make a wisecrack about the first season being really expensive--on top of being less than 'marketable'--but $34 on Amazon is actually pretty good. I must have been thinking of the huge VHS set from several years ago. Regardless, now I know what my next DVD purchase is gonna be......

Dunno. My thoughts are that it's either out of print or not something Netflix is particularly worried about carrying. Either way, somebody issued it as a Region 1 DVD at some point because our local video store has it. Also......check the IFC schedule. My buddy taped the entire first season off of IFC a year or so ago and, seeing as ABC is about to air the remake, they might show it again. Who knows?

Just finished the first season tonight. Good lord, man. I don't even know where to begin...... [Post-script] Just so you know, I'm telling you that this show is amazing and intense and all that but I'm not telling you go go out and rent it tonight. I don't know about you but, whenever someone tells me to go rent something that turns out to be this unsettling, my response is usually "oooooookay....buddy." So, that having been said, it's very good and I'm glad that I stuck with it but I'm certain I'll never watch it again. In fact, it'll be a while before I'm ready for the season #2.

So while watching the Sugar Bowl a couple of weeks ago we noticed a commercial for an upcoming mini-series produced by Stephen King called Kingdom Hospital. A number of us scrateched our heads and someone finally said "are they remaking the Lars Von Trier series for Amercian TV?" Most of us in the room were Von Trier fans but I had not seen the original series before. That said, I began watching the original The Kingdom on Sunday and......wow! I can't believe that this thing was EVER on network TV. I mean it's really strange. Described by AMG as a fusion of ER and Twin Peaks, though I would argue that it's much creepier than that. Anyways, have any of the rest of you seen this show?

Isn't "overly redundent"....................(and misspelled)? You sure you're not over-exaggerating?
