Current Tracks

Weird Al - Eat it
Yo La Tengo - Nuclear War; The Sounds Of The Sounds Of Science

Interesting note to Tengo's SoSoS: it's a 78 min. album designed and performed as a cinematic soundscape to a series of undersea doc film shorts by what appears to be one of the more under-rated founders, avant garde champions and prolific authors of the genre, Frenchman Jean Painleve. "Lovelife of the Octopus" (1965, 13 min.) is reportedly a most impressive and even moving example of Painleve's philosophy that "science is fiction." The film portrays the erotic mating embraces of the octopus, accompanied by an original score by one of the founders of electronic music, Pierre Henry. Painleve's images were also groundbreaking in their synchronization with sound, rather than vice-versa. Was admired by Eisentstein.
