Oh no! What a great. He’s the guy you turn to when you want to talk 5/4 time.
It’s late, I’m going to sleep, tomorrow I will update this with some tunes. I could find them easy on YouTube but that is literally the worst thing in the entire fucking world for musicians and non fascist human beings so I don’t want to. I’d pull out some records from the next room but that won’t work.

FYI, if you get the chance to see Choir Choir Choir live, you should do so. It’s a ton of fun, whatever the songs.

A favorite of mine has long been Scorpio’s View from Dirty Harry:
One that apparently Dr. Dre and DJ Yella were a fan of as well, as they heavily sampled it for the NWA song Approach to Danger:

tl;dr: he was old and had numerous health problems. Not sure why TMZ felt it necessary to leak this, it’s hardly news. But, there you go.

The basic plot is that good rogue cop “Dirty Harry” Callahan (Eastwood) uncovers a group of bad cops who are taking justice into their own hands and acting as judge, jury, and literal executioners. I don’t know that I would describe it as anti-cop. I suspect it just furthers the “few bad apples” narrative and denies that the institution itself is inherently corrupt.

okayfine. whatever. i feel as though i’ve awakened an angry part of you and i didn’t mean to. started with just the music of one movie by a recently deceased music composer and has now devolved into whatever this is.
you wanna talk about violence in movies and what they mean vs the real lives of the movie makers and what they mean, fine - i’m sure there’s a bloody thread for that. but it ain’t here.

christ on a crutch.
Perhaps not one of his most original themes, but just because it is still one of my favourite films.
The OST for the film does have some very good tracks.

Perhaps more to this board’s taste as a movie:
Also much liked as a movie around these parts. I like it because it’s disco and the album it’s from is full of wtf! Quiet Village cover with the guitar from Fame by Bowie? Hell yeah. Sounds awful but I admire the ambition!
Another funky obscurity
I have that on some German compilation record which has a bunch of deep and groove cuts.
Did someone say hippy sounding folk mass? Well here you go:

You’ve just sent me on a deeper dive – I am not very familiar with Argentinian music, but that “Che!” track has a specific beat that I’ve also heard on a Gato Barbieri record (here), and the “Kyrie” from Ariel Ramirez’s Misa Criolla. The sheet music for the latter (of which I’ve finally found someone’s upload) indicates a “Vidala - Baguala” style; neither term exists in English Wikipedia, but I found them in Spanish Wikipedia which suggests that the drum is a caja. The pictures I see suggest a smaller drum than I’ve seen in videos, but at least now I know more about this than I did (thanx!) (& more here which suggests the drum’s a bombo)

I really need to get over my crowd and hotel anxiety because I’d love to get back to Toronto.
I’m really jealous of our daughter and her husband because they’re taking the train to Toronto this weekend for a KPop concert. It’s the very first concert in a brand new 50,000 seat outdoor stadium.
Ah to be young with disposable income.
I’m nervous just thinking about it.

When we saw them, it was at a smaller show, maybe about 100 people over in Athens (which is about 60 miles east of ATL). It was an 80s themed show. Originally, it was supposed to be me and my friend, but she ended up being sick, and my husband went along with me. He ended up having a good time, despite being skeptical about it. It ended up being a mix of stand up and a sing-a-long. Nobu and Davud are quite fun.
Dealing with anxiety can be tough! I’m sorry that you have to deal with it!
