I have always maintained that the Alaipayuthey BGM is a piece of genius, one that deserves a soundtrack of its own. Here, the Evano Oruvan theme: #ARRahman
(Please Bollywood, this does not mean that you need to make a cheap rip-off starring Prateik Babbar or Aditya Roy Kapur or whoever the fuck the new starkid is with this genius bit of music, leave it alone)
Anyway. I think one of my favorite things about the Alaipayuthey BGM (at least the sound captured from the movie) is the drone of the venerable old MG EMUs from Chennai in the background. ❤️
Nice short piece on the cinematography of Evano Oruvan -- surely one of Mani Ratnam/PC Sreeram's best shot sequences:
Precursor to a lot of Kannathil Muthamittal shots also (of which entire books can be written).
I mean, just look at how beautifully shot!

Great Prasanna show tonight. Alaipayuthey, Charukesi, Mahaganapathim and a couple Ilayaraja classics.
Here's a little bit of the Mahaganapathim from soundcheck; really one of the best I have heard from him (and I have heard a *lot* of different Mahaganapathims from Prasanna) facebook.com/guitarprasanna…
And here is a recording (of a entirely different version, but just as cool) from a show in Jan 2017: bit.ly/2Py6PH9

ADVENT - A Christmas Ghost Story from Dec 1 to Dec 24

Dec 1

WTF?
Where’s the chocolate? Just a picture of a dumb bird!
What kind of advent calendar hasn’t got chocolate in it?
Can’t believe I’m stuck here all Xmas in the middle of nowhere while you get to go to Darren’s party!
Sophie slept
In spite of the house
In spite of herself
In spite of the spitting, chattering rain against the thin black ugly window pane
It was strangely soothing
Strangely calming . . .

Until a sharp
Sudden
Angry
CRACK
Smacked her furiously awake!
Dec 2

Hey how you?
Sooooooo tired! Thought I heard a noise last night but no one else heard it so I guess I must’ve dreamed it. Then I couldn’t get back to sleep. This creepy old house is doing my head in!
Btw another lame pic on this stupid calendar today.
Looks like you LOL

Thanks, @mariabustillos. The photo is to illustrate something I talk about in the introduction. It's EveryFace, from Everywhere. It's my accent, not my face, that tells people I'm foreign. Otherwise, no one guesses that I'm not from these parts, wherever they are.
And this is true across a surprisingly wide geographic range. My face blurrs into the background pretty much everywhere except sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
Otherwise, it's only when I start talking that people say, "Where are you from?" So if I were to lose my accent,
I'd be in very bizarre emotional territory, because there's a payoff to being an outsider. My accent is my all-purpose excuse, Special pleading for being weird. If I have an accent and do something strange If I didn't have that accent, I'd be expected to conform---

Here's the story of how my trauma put a literal hole in my abdomen.

I'm typing as I go; please forgive typos and/or wonky syntax. And try to forgive me if halfway through it I delete and/or disappear. This story, this experience are still pretty raw.
Also, let me go ahead & disclaim:

I am no one. I am an authority on nothing.

I don't have a license to practice anything but driving.

Please never construe anything I ever say as medical, legal, or other advice.

I'm telling a story.

I wouldn't listen to me if I were you.
Let's start with #ACEs.

Y'all familiar w/the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study? Published in 1998 & the basis for hundreds more pubs, which point to childhood trauma's impact across lifespan: the higher your "dose" of childhood trauma, the worse later outcomes tend to be

#Series ¡Me gustó la música de #Versailles! He terminado las dos primeras temporadas de esta ambiciosa serie de #ficciónhistórica disponible en @NetflixLAT, y ya espero la tercera y última temporada. En este hilo compartiré una apreciación personal del #Score y del #Soundtrack.
En primer lugar va la intro, es tan poderosa, que no usé en ningún episodio la opción de saltar intro o adelantarla. Es un tema compuesto por los franceses @M83 llamado #Outro. Se puede escuchar en @Spotify - @SpotifyColombia :

This is classic - In an interview given to Press TV this week from his home about the "Israel lobby", Ken Livingstone speaks in front of his bookcase where there are two 1970's illustration books from Leni Riefenstahl. Riefenstahl was THE preeminent filmmaker for the Nazi party.
Her most well known film was “Triumph of the Will” about the 1934 Nuremberg rally. It remains one the most important examples of high production value Nazi propaganda.
Riefenstahl also directed and starred in "Tiefland" in which 122 Sinti and Roma extras were personally selected by herself from two holding camps. After filming they were transported to Auschwitz, where most were murdered.
