Out of this list I've only seen Three Kings, Happy, Texas, Sleepy Hollow, and Blair Witch Project. (And of course I've had the ending of Sixth Sense spoiled for me any number of times.) I'd say Three Kings was better than American Beauty, though it declined a bit at the end. Blair Witch might have been better too, though they're so different it's hard to compare them.

He is very personable which shocked me. MR Simon played for over 2 hours and 20 minutes, he pulled songs from all of his solo stuff and still thru in some S&G favs to boot.

Doug Gourlay, of the Detroit group Only a Mother - who has such a junkyard of a percussion setup that it beggars belief in the first place (including possibly the world's only banjo-necked, violin-strung, bowed snare drum) - played some tonal percussion instruments (a sorta homemade-looking xylophone) while keeping a groove going on the rest of the kit.

You're not the only one to think it; I just haven't been able to express my disdain for that film in fewer than 20 sentences and without the overuse of invective language. Thank you for your short and sweet analysis. Whoever said it would have been better as an HBO miniseries was definitely right; I don't get HBO so I never would have wasted my time on it. Want movies about families that are engrossing, touching, hard-to-take but keep you glued to your seat (and often weeping)? See just about anything by Mike Leigh (including Topsy Turvy, which was one of my favorite movies of last year). BTW, Viv, the name of that H.G. Wells short story is "The Truth About Pyecraft." I loved it when I was a kid. Oh, and thank you again everybody for my son's booklist. He's working his way through Susan Cooper, and he LOVED The Silent Strength of Stones (the title of which I usually screw up - The Strength of Stones from the River, The Silence of the Stones, Only the Silent Stones Remain). If anyone knows how we can get a copy of the book NK Hoffman wrote before The Silent Strength of Stones (some of you have mentioned that it is out of print), please let me know. Thanks.

He's looking well - better than he's looked for a couple of years or more. No new music at the moment - he's taking it easy after a course of intaferon and a giving it a chance to really work (those of you who don't know, he got hepatitis from unsafe drug use practices. Idiot. Still, it could have been a lot worse). Anyway, the Secret Box has done really well - the initial 500 numbered, signed copies all sold, but demand was so great he's pressed more (unnumbered, unsigned), and about 250 of them have sold, too. Not bad since information about the set has mainly been by website and word of mouth. He's used some of the cash for some computer-based recording technology, by the sound of it. Reading between the lines it sounds like he has enough demos etc for a further set sometime in the future (I asked him about a couple of live tracks that weren't in the box and he said the live stuff was only up to a certain date - there's more around from after that still sitting at home).

There's some sort of classically sweet melodic songs. And there are some really strange mood pieces."  producer Steve Albini After eight years of rest, rehab and whirlwind recording sessions, the Breeders are finally ready to make another splash in the music world. Former Pixies bassist Kim Deal and her side-project-turned-chart-topping-power-pop-band are just a few days away from completing their first album since 1993's Last Splash. Tentatively titled Title TK, a clever reference to the journalism symbol meaning "to come," the album was produced by |ber-producer Steve Albini in his Electric Audio Recording Studio in Chicago. "The record as a collection covers a lot of territory," said Albini, who produced and engineered records for both the Pixies and Breeders, as well as Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Bush, PJ Harvey, & Helmet. "There's some sort of classically sweet melodic songs. And there are some really strange mood pieces." Deal set out to record the third Breeders full-length with a new band in New York City three years ago. At the time, Kim's twin sister, Kelley Deal, was in rehab, so the second incarnation of the Breeders, which featured Kelley on guitar, was on permanent hiatus (the first incarnation included Throwing Muses guitarist Tanya Donelly). "The band disintegrated under her while she was in New York, and she didn't get anything of merit recorded," Albini explained. "She got burned by that experience, so she decided, 'Screw it. I'll take a year or two and I'll learn to play drums and I'll play everything myself.' " Kim entered Albini's studio in 1999 and recorded a handful of songs mostly on her own, though Kelley added guitar parts to a few tracks. "Then Kim met the guys in her current band and thought she might be able to realize her dream of having a permanent band that would record and tour and be committed," Albini said. That line-up  guitarist Richard Presley and bassist Mondo Lopez of the Los Angeles punk band Fear, drummer Jose Medeles of 22 Jacks along with sister Kelley  spent nearly a year of rehearsing and played an unannounced club show in L.A. (see "Breeders Resurface At Surprise Show") before recording the album with Albini this year. "I'm really, really thrilled that [Kim] got hooked up with these guys, because they are really first-rate musicians and total sweethearts," Albini said. "They're dead reliable." Although Albini said the basic idea for Title TK was to structure it around a band and not a lead performer, three songs from Kim's solo sessions made the cut. "Those sound a bit more piecemeal," Albini said. "They're a bunch of interesting sounds layered together in almost a collage manner. But they fit together well, it's not like one of those records where people record a million things and sort it out later." The rest of the material is more straightforward rock band stuff, but with oblique, sometimes spooky lyrics, Albini added. "Kim's got an atypical taste on music and the things that excite her about her songs are the strange little moments of interest rather than say, a great chord progression or cool riff." Title TK will include a track called "Little Fury," named after "those little switch blades that you can buy at truck stops that say Fury on them," according to Albini. It features call and response vocals between Kim and Kelley. "You can really hear the character differences between their two voices," he added. Another song slated for the album is "The She," which Albini called "a creepy, moody song that, if I understand correctly, is about a discotheque her brother used to go to in the '70s." Kim Deal declined to be interviewed for this story. Title TK will be released by the Breeders' and Pixies' longtime label, 4AD. The album is on pace for a fall release, Albini said. The Breeders will perform several new tunes, along with material from 1990's Pod, "Cannonball" and other hits from Last Splash and maybe a song or two from Deal's short-lived other side project, the Amps, at their first announced show in five years Saturday at Chicago's 3,000-capacity Congress Theater. Albini, whose music career started in the '80s cult band Big Black, will make an appearance with his band, Shellac, August 17 and 18 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco with Neurosis and Japan's Zeni Geva.

It's surprising how many films do have a huge explosion, but often the goodies escape when everyone else dies. I was watching a real stinker the other day called 'City under the sea' (not to be confused with 'City beneath the sea') where Vincent Price played a character who was a cross between Captain Nemo and She. The heroes (Tab Hunter and David Tomlinson plus token girl) kept running away from Price and his cohorts in scenes which started with everyone wearing diving suits, switched to everyone wearing normal costume and then back to diving suits again without pausing for breath. No-one ever caught up with anyone else, but some mermen occasionally intervened in an ineffectual manner. Foolishly, the inhabitants of the city beneath the sea had built it next to a volcano, which erupted in a huge explosion and everyone died (except the heroes, who suddenly switched back to not wearing diving suits). Then they remembered that Price had to have a scene where he aged dramatically, so they rescued him from under a giant stone hand where he had been crushed during the eruption and he crawled out on to the seashore, where he aged dramatically and died. Next week: Fall of the House of Usher - - MRG PS I have just realised that the above might be construed as a 'spoiler' if you were going to watch 'City under the sea'.

Check out Truffault's Two English Girls. It's shot mostly in England and the English country shows up beauifully on the DVD. It's full screen and not letterbox, but it's still a great film, circa 1971. I also like Agnes Varda's Cleo from 5 to 7 and Godard's My Life to Live, if you want to check out different French New Wave directors. Both of these are great on DVD.
