I had friends who had a neighbor called Barris, by surname. That, in the 70s.

And who is that?

A favorite here.

That's exactly my reaction in those cases.

Reading the article made me think of Tarantino's last movie, the great Once upon a time in Hollywood. Which depicts the end of Hollywood's golden period. In parallel to the Manson story, which is only minor. It made me laugh a lot and also discover Leonardo di Caprio's comedy style.

That's also one that never made it to CD; or?

Very good article!

Very good. It's easy to imagine I hate Van Halen, or better Vank Walen, the Hair n' Spandex metallers.

I think she is one of the most beautiful women ever. That is the second movie (by the same director) Pink Floyd wrote the soundtrack for after More, which I commented on the other day. It plays and is all shot (or so I think) in Borneo.

Especially Virginia Plain.

Great David Stone Martin cover art.

Oh, I just discovered Dalí on this photo, after having seen it a couple of times. Yes, I probably concentrated on the girl in the center, but then while reading the next post I suddenly saw him. Like a revelation.

Must be a hard to part with one. I, for one, wouldn't.

La Notte is a perennial favorite of mine. With Jeanne Moreau, Mastroiani and Monica Vitti. I hadn't ever stopped to consider its music, though. And I will now.

And I like it very much. Like all the 3 first albums. Up to More, a soundtrack they made in 1969 for a movie shot mainly in Ibiza. And I think with Dave Gilmour already on board.

Isn't that a Pink Floyd album? Yes, it's from the time with Syd Barrett, but it's a Pink Floyd.

In the last time I'm watching a TV station called Qwest by Quincy Jones that features lots of good jazz concerts. And it has also a subchannel for Classical and another for everything mixed. Pop, funk, soul and everything else. So he's also dabbled into TV.

Yes it spurred a whole scene. I will seek out Swoon as soon as I can.

Yes I like him very, very much. But also his more mainstream side.

What opened my eyes re: Prefab Sprout was the C86 cassette, given away with a NME. And then I heard Steve McQueen. Never new of Swoon.

I was 14, and I'm aware of it, but I have started to listen more accurately to it in the 10 last years. So I knew it but have come to fully appreciate it later. And it's great! I'm rereading that book, that was my favorite book for a long time when I was younger. From Alberf Camus. And it's a very old edition (like from the 50s), which I think belonged to my mother.

Yes, that's very true. But I know more Regina and less La Lupe... And Regina was all those things you say.

Oh, I remember Prefab Sprout warmly from the 80s. But for me their favorites are their two first albums, Steve McQueen and From Langley Park to Memphis. I see they had a previous album called Swoon from 1984, but that must be a minority thing. And Steve McQueen very above the other.

The other day a friend of mine told me he had seen an interesting doc on Netflix, I think, about Kubrick's Italian driver.

I still remember when I saw it. When it came out. It's great!
