Is there anyway I can get in touch with Brian Neglect? I love Neglect and I just made a movie that uses "Fuck Life" and I'd love to talk to him about getting permission to use the song in the movie! If you knew anyway to get in touch that would be super helpful!

As much as I think scripts are important, many filmmakers have made wonderful films without the use of any scripts (Godard and Wong Kar-wai come to mind). Godard was a critic for a long time before making Breathless and was immersed in the conventions of Hollywood to flip all those conventions on its head. There was no formal script, just the treatment by Truffaut, which he only loosely followed. Wong Kar-wai worked as a screenwriter before making his first film. Their knowledge of cinema and writing gave them the tools to work scriptless. Just curious what your thoughts are in these specific cases.

Walter Murch, in interviews with Michael Ontadje, has said that action and passionate love making scenes benefit from non-continuity editing. Crossing the axis and line of action creates a desirable feeling of disorientation that plays into the story. Couldn't that be what they were going for here?

I actually was listening to "Fire Engine Red" and "Two Wheeled Train" yesterday! But Boys Life wasn't really going with my whole non-emo 90s math rock kick last night. I do love the band though!

I've been an Aloha fan for many years and though this isn't my favorite release of theirs (that honor would go to Sugar or Here Comes Everyone), I feel like it's their most consistent and accessible. Everything is solidly written and, although the okay songs are just okay, the good songs are really effin good.

Upon first listen, only a few tracks really grabbed me: the Silver Apples-influenced "Ruins" (which I think is one of the best songs they've written), "Waterwheel," "Moonless March," and "Searchlight." So basically, the rockers. After a few more listens, I found the more subdued tracks to get stuck in my head. From the motorik-driven "Cold Storage" to the tender "White Wind," songs I would've thought were better suited for Aloha's Light Works EP, end up warranting multiple listens.

MBV's Loveless is fantastic, which I don't really need to re-state, I guess. However, for some reason, I just can't get down with Isn't Anything. A few songs are alright, but I can never listen to that album the whole way through. I think it's the drummer that kills it for me (good thing they used programmed drums for Loveless).

On that note though, "You Made Me Realise" is one of their fantastic old ones that rivals their work on Loveless.

haha, that progression is fantastic. Want to know something funny? One of my majors at school was marketing, so I had to take Statistics for Business. Guess who was in my class?

Kickball Katy.

I'm sure she doesn't want that little piece of info getting out, hah.

great article man. i'm curious to hear your thoughts on Japandroids. Though I think they are decent, they are essentially guilty of the same thing as Fucked Up and No Age, but emo. Kids will have no problem going ga-ga for Japandroids, but probably wouldn't bother to seek out a Braid record, a clear influence of that band.

good article man. i sometimes get them at work when i feel overwhelmed. the list making totally helps. i actually got one yesterday (pretty bad too) when i found out that the traffic ticket i got is worth 2 points.

also, Batman didn't totally suck when it went to WB! But they did want to reach a bigger demographic and made it a little bit more kid friendly. What's funny is that Fox had all these crazy restrictions with what they were allowed to get away with and WB was way more lenient.

actually, one of my fav episodes of the show is when it was on WB. it was the Scarecrow episode where Barbara Gordon dies and Commisioner Gordon hunts down Batman.
