Ridiculously good recordings of Peel Sessions from 2001. The influence of The Cramps hang heavily over these two sets. All Crunchy frenetic Jack White guitars. #TheWhiteStripesPeelSessions#TheWhiteStripes#BBC
The Crater Lake Monster (1977) filmed in FantaVision has got a lot of doomed boat rides, bad acting, lots of miscued music and some gorgeous scenic shots of the countryside. A fun 1970’s Drive-In B movie for Dino heads.

A future society where corporate scum are the government, books are dead, Muzak/Classical is the only music, white pills keep u docile & the #1 sport is a mash up of wrestling/hockey/motorbike racing. It’s all circular & scary. #FilmTwitter#Rollerball1975#JamesCaan#1970sSciFi
An effective little horror film that takes the home invasion theme & ramps up the tension and scares effectively. Jessica Harper from Suspiria (1977) is a very underrated Final Girl in this. She owns this film. #Twitterfilm#TheEvictors1979#1970sHorrorFilm#JessicaHarper
Maybe Paul Newman’s best performance. Never seen him so vulnerable & broken and scared. A very somber film & so well written. His plea to the jury at the end is astonishing in its simple directness. #FilmTwitter#TheVerdict1982#PaulNewman#SidneyLumet
A very gritty performance by James Caan against a soundtrack that buzzes and glides. A color palette that’s an icy blue. A portrait of a man who’s got a well planned way of low life that gives in to greed and as a result destroys it. #FilmTwitter#Thief1981#MichaelMann
Scanner Cop(1994) is truly unexpected in how riveting a sci-fi horror flick it is. The lead actor Daniel Quinn is amazing in it as a conflicted man who fears his own psychic power. The guy’s face crimps & bulges with sound effects that keep u on edge. #ScannerCop1994#FilmTwitter
“There go the whites, mmmmm gettin’ whiter
There go the colors, gettin’ brighter
There go the delicates, doin’ the final rinse
There goes my Saturday night, I go without a fight”. #ThePretenders#ChrissieHynde#LearningToCrawl1984
Effortless & Cool West Coast 1960’s pop with crunchy guitar and killer bass. #NancySinatra#1960sPop

Now there out taking bets, smoking filter cigarettes…”
