Joshi. It's actually very good -- in fact, one of the best HP Lovecraft adaptations I've seen. It's essentially a retelling of "The Shadow over Innsmouth," but set in the Pacific Northwest in the near future. The protagonist is gay -- as are the filmmakers -- and this fact is used quite adroitly to highlight the sense of otherness and alienation. The story focuses on his return to his sleepy hometown to attend the funeral of his mother. He arrives, only to discover that the town is more depressed, and a good deal stranger, than he remembers.... My favorite scene has a father-son argument occurring over dinner; the argument is about the son's homosexuality and his rejection of his father's religion. The fact that this religion happens to *not* be the usual Christianity, but the worship of Dagon, is handled brilliantly -- very matter-of-factly, which is all the more effective and chilling. The budget constrains force some creative special-effects, but they rarely dip into the cheesepot. There are a few aspects of narrative that remain confused, and a few plot holes I would have liked to see plugged, but overall I definitely recommend "Cthulhu" as a thinking-man's Lovecraft adaptation. - --Q ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:08:25 -0700 From: "Stacked Crooked" Subject: Ho-Hum, Another Masterpiece tokyo police club, *Elephant-Shell* ~ perhaps not a masterpiece by 2008 standards, but a seriously crackerjack effort, none the less. this year has just gotten so far out of hand! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:23:38 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: Ho-Hum, Another Masterpiece On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 2:08 PM, Stacked Crooked wrote: > > this year has just gotten so far out of hand! It's cool how some of you folks can keep up with all the new music, but I have to admit to myself that I've lost the thread. I'm not completely out of circulation, but I've put myself on the "one-year-late" plan: I tend to pick up on the previous year's records based on end-of-year-best-of lists (about evenly split between feggy ones and what appears in the press). I glean about five new artists of interest a year, with little rhyme or reason-- often I click with an artist whose perceived peer group doesn't do much for me, but I figure that's just the way it's gonna be.

I guess I'm a C, leaning on B. Last year I actually listened to more than 10 new records for the first time in a long while, but I still missed many "important" releases.

For me it was definitely a slow drift from (C) to (B). I probably won't self-acknowledge moving into (A) until my kids inevitably tell me that I have. I could have done a Top 10 last year, and I definitely heard more than 10 release by emerging artists. But I didn't find ten of those that would fill up a full Top 10, so if I'd done one, it would have been at least 50% filled with artists who've been around for a long time. There's nothing wrong with that, but I found it a bit embarrassing and doubted it'd be of much value to others, so I kept it to myself (read: used that as an excuse not to finish it). - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:14:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Benjamin Lukoff Subject: Re: Ho-Hum, Another Masterpiece On Mon, 21 Apr 2008, Rex wrote: > On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 2:36 PM, Benjamin Lukoff wrote: > > > On Mon, 21 Apr 2008, Rex wrote: > > > > > Psuedo-Poll: How would y'all classify yourself vis-a-vis new music > > and/or > > > emerging artists? > > > > > > A) Totally out of the loop > > > B) Semi-engaged, semi-detached > > > C) Current enough to actually be able to put together a year-end Top > > 10? > > > > Before September 2007, when I was still in the industry, C--now, > > definitely A ;) > > > Wow, you went totally cold-turkey?

Yeah--well, the thing was, I've always been more into older music than current music. Being in the industry forced me to get current. Now I've just reverted to my old self, though I have picked up some new favorites--mainly Americana acts. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:20:23 -0700 From: Carrie Galbraith Subject: Re: Ho-Hum, Another Masterpiece On Apr 21, 2008, at 2:23 PM, Rex wrote: > Psuedo-Poll: How would y'all classify yourself vis-a-vis new music > and/or > emerging artists? > > A) Totally out of the loop > B) Semi-engaged, semi-detached > C) Current enough to actually be able to put together a year-end > Top 10? > I've always been type A.

I'd have to say A.

Probably B. I tend to find new stuff thanks to this list and various media outlets, but only some of it sticks. I think if it weren't for you guys I never would have found High Llamas, Secret Machines, or Mars Volta.

Most of last year's list would be releases from '77 through '85 or so (which is probably true most years, I just happen to have found so much hot stuff in the blogworld last year it's almost, or perhaps actually, criminal-- but I swear, if I ever meet Ari Up or Matt Piucci, I'll give them whatever readies I have on me). - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:06:27 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: Ho-Hum, Another Masterpiece On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 3:44 PM, Christopher Gross Chris > ps: Loop!

That depends on whether "engaged" includes whatever's going on on the charts and/or in hip-hop...because, uh, then I'm utterly A. I guess I'm "C" in that I never have trouble putting together a Top 10 except from the other side (which ten should I choose out of the many?), but I'm definitely not as looped-in as the folks that have to have the newest coolest keenest thing the day it comes out.

Robyn usually doesn't have it - but in that photo, he does. (for the record: I nominated - and saw posted - Robert Pollard, primarily for his photo on the cover of _Coast to Coast Carpet of Love_.

Me personally I'm in the C category. I had some momentum previously as a college radio DJ, and then once I gave up my show (2005), I just kept going. I listened to over 100 albums last year. And not just cursory listens either. In the C) category, the end-of-year lists tend to become "what have I missed?". I made myself stop tracking down the 2007 stragglers last month. I would like to move into the B category at some point, mostly because I don't give myself a chance to enjoy albums from the years prior. But exposing myself to new stuff keeps my neurons firing and keeps the withdrawl symptoms to a minimum.
