been tired and down right fatigue, complete lethargic. having a hard time keeping up with conversations and get lost in a group. mostly just feel like going to sleep and sometimes I do esp if this socializing takes place outside sitting down. no one bats an eye besides the harmless joke and teasing here and there. it might be the weather. but just maybe stress or not really caring about anything anyone talks about.

great place to post this huh?! its not a facade or a statement. I just really tired.

also too old to get mad anymore and lash out. been taking advantage of lately by friends. mostly money. I give people lots of money that would help me out in life. hundreds of dollars that I work hard for to give for car problems rent problems and not get anything in return. like just ignored. etc...

Then there was this other guy who told me that I should play more "dancable" stuff and asked me why I'm mostly playing B-sides. I told him that there are more than enough events that happily oblige to this same-old floorfiller mentality.

I partly created this event because I was frustrated with the way most goth-events around here treat their musical repertoire. Frequenting them, one could think all of those bands only ever released one or two songs. No wild cards, no innovation in their setlists. It's not that I didn't play any classics, but it's also one of my trademarks to try new things and give some well-deserved love to overlooked gems.

But I'm really glad that several people commended me for doing exactly that. I certainly put a lot of time and effort into it and it's always nice to actually see it get some credit.

congrats for all that.

but i'm also curious about the videos you played!

cmon, you got us involved. now tell.

Yes. I initially wanted to use the Cocteau version of Beauty and the Beast as my first feature film. But I then opted for the 1921 Swedish film Körkarlen aka The Phantom Carriage.

 


I used the Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer by the Brothers Quay in its entirety. People were spellbound. I also used clips of Young Frankenstein, thanks again for reminding me of that. I've downloaded a lot of the things that have been recommended to me, but haven't gotten around to use some of them yet. Lucifer Rising by Kenneth Anger was also initially slated to be shown, but I encountered some problems with the running time.

But I have plenty of clips I can show the next time around now. That definitely saves me a lot of time. My next gig will most likely take place in July or August. The Color of Pomgranates is a definite lock for my next list.

I thank everyone for participating and want you guys to know that I've bookmarked our past conversation, so I can always come back and take a look-see. Tarkovsky's Stalker is a hot contender for next time's feature film.

I'm currently working on a list of all the clips I've used. There was a lot of old-timey stock footage courtesy of the British Pathé and the Kino Library in there. I also used some animated shorts like Mark Osborne's MORE. I'll put the list up as soon as I've finished it.

It certainly would make for some nice visuals. I'll consider it. Appreciate your input.

Interestingly enough though, his work has a very experimental and free vibe to it. Something that is also echoed in Russian photography around and after the October revolution. Aleksandr Rodchenko comes to mind. His angles were exceptional.

hell yes, he was as experimental as they come, fantastic visuals, but ideologically he was committed diametrically elsewhere-- the movie itself condemns things like lipstick, if i recall. it's been a few years since i last saw it but with him it's all about being a good worker for the revolution.

if you use him he'll start turning in his grave ha ha ha. use him! :P

Yeah, like many of his contemporaries. This dichotomy of artistic freedom and extreme ideological views is fascinating to say the least. I love the visual techniques of the movie, but you're right that it might not be all too fitting for such an event.

Oh and you really should check The Phantom Carriage out. It is a very impressive feat for its time. Visually it is quite similar to many German Expressionist films of that time, but without all the over the top facial expressions and camera-mugging. In fact, the acting is quite restrained and remarkably true to life. And the overlay effects that were used to make the actors appear ghostly must have been a lot of work back then. They are still beautiful to look at today.

My coworker's phone must be connected to every social medium out there. It buzzes every 30 seconds. What the hell. it's like Chinese water torture.

I found this phone buzz sound effect online. I'm going to start retaliating pretty soon.

Same old job, new neighbor. I don't want to be too stinky about it, though, because she's a good worker. But goddamn that phone noise! And goddamn the cubicle life. Maybe I need to retire and go work at Walmart.

just adopt a really folksy and friendly manner while you make deadly threats

well no just introduce this new coworker to the office culture of keeping the fucking noise down.

really i don't know. i'm a cranky fucker. i'd act crazy an dyell CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THAT GODDAMN NOISE.

i almost shot a neighbor's dog several times due to noise. i only stopped because it was a nice dog with an asshole owner. shooting the owner would have been the thing to do, but i don't like the prospect of jail time.

Had to google Worf's son. Ha ha. It's Rozhenko, but I do have to admit their names sound similar. One wonders if one of the writers of The Next Generation was really into experimental Soviet photographers.
