This Is Spinal Tap (1984) [The Criterion Collection #012 - Out Of Print] [Repost] Movies

Posted by Someonelse at March 4, 2015

Rob Reiner’s directorial debut has developed into a cult phenomenon. The film that invented the “rockumentary” has now outlasted most of the bands it mocked. Following the ill-fated American comeback tour of an aging heavy-metal group, this film has joined the ranks of the greatest comedies ever made.

Ballet and Opera in the Age of "Giselle" (Princeton Studies in Opera) eBooks & eLearning

Ballet and Opera in the Age of "Giselle" (Princeton Studies in Opera) by Marian Smith
English | 31 Dec. 2000 | ISBN: 0691049947 | 288 Pages | PDF | 49.01 MB

Marian Smith recaptures a rich period in French musical theater when ballet and opera were intimately connected. Focusing on the age of Giselle at the Paris Opéra (from the 1830s through the 1840s), Smith offers an unprecedented look at the structural and thematic relationship between the two genres. She argues that a deeper understanding of both ballet and opera–and of nineteenth-century theater-going culture in general–may be gained by examining them within the same framework instead of following the usual practice of telling their histories separately. This handsomely illustrated book ultimately provides a new portrait of the Opéra during a period long celebrated for its box-office successes in both genres.

8 femmes / 8 Women (2002) Movies

Posted by Rare-1 at July 8, 2015

One morning at an isolated mansion in the snowy countryside of 1950s France, a family is gathered for the holiday season. But there will be no celebration at all because their beloved patriarch has been murdered! The killer can only be one of the eight women closest to the man of the house. Was it his powerful wife? His spinster sister-in-law? His miserly mother-in-law? Maybe the insolent chambermaid or the loyal housekeeper? Could it possibly have been one of his two young daughters? A surprise visit from the victim's chic sister sends the household into a tizzy, encouraging hysterics, exacerbating rivalries, and encompassing musical interludes. Comedic situations arise with the revelations of dark family secrets. Seduction dances with betrayal. The mystery of the female psyche is revealed. There are eight women and each is a suspect. Each has a motive. Each has a secret. Beautiful, tempestuous, intelligent, sensual, and dangerous…one of them is guilty. Which one is it?

Xiu Xiu / Devendra Banhart : Split 7" (2005) Music

Posted by p6s at Dec. 13, 2007

Xiu Xiu: unique voice and clarity, moments of childlike ridiculousness, lyrics that are strange but feel like home. Devendra Banhart: same description. And yet they differ so much. Xiu Xiu looks down to watch everything fall apart. Whispering and screaming among a slight pop-like structure of electronic blips and bleeps. Banhart looks up to the sky and finds beauty and hope in everything, singing with gigantic groups of smiles while strumming away on lo-fi acoustic guitars and the occasional hand claps. Here, they take a song of their own and switch places. Xiu Xiu takes over "The Body Breaks" while Devendra takes on "Support Our Troops! OH!"

The Killers - Day & Age (2008, Island # 602517872875) [RE-UP] Music

Posted by luckburz at Aug. 19, 2015

…Ridiculousness is much harder to stomach in words than it is in music, but the nice thing about Day & Age is that not only is Flowers' voice relatively buried, The Killers are unwittingly comfortable with their ludicrous, outsized pop, which turns the album into terrifically trashy pop. Not the serious rock they yearn to be by any means, but these fashionable threads fit them better anyway.
