Rodney Welch: The Blog: A Mood for Despair
http://rodneywelch.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-mood-for-despair.html
Rodney Welch: The Blog. The less social, the better the media. Thursday, November 27, 2014. A Mood for Despair. A few years ago on this very blog, I explored my fascination with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, an enormously ambitious and prolific filmmaker who left behind an extraordinary body of work before his death at 37. Many of his films ( The Merchant of Four Seasons, Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? Ali: Fear Eats the Soul. Are brilliant, at least one is great (the massive Berlin Alexanderplatz. Ou can smell ...

Rodney Welch: The Blog. The less social, the better the media. Wednesday, December 03, 2014. Addictive Tune for the Day. On Light Up Gold. Since that terrific start, they seem to be on a roll, releasing one EP ( Tally All the Things That You Broke. And two full-length albums ( Sunbathing Animal. In the last 18 months or so, and they seem to be branching out a bit as far as toying with their formula. Clocking in at 7:38, "He's Seeing Path" (from Tally. I've been playing it all day and have no plans to stop.

Rodney Welch: The Blog: The Triumph of Blind Joe Death

Rodney Welch: The Blog. The less social, the better the media. Friday, November 28, 2014. The Triumph of Blind Joe Death. I don't know the language of music, so I always have to scramble around in my toolbox to find some kind of emotional or metaphoric terms to explain what's going on in my head when I listen to Bach or Ornette Coleman. Or the great, late John Fahey, my latest obsession - although I've always kind of been an appreciative fan. Years ago, I bought the vinyl of The Best of John Fahey,.

Rodney Welch: The Blog. The less social, the better the media. Friday, August 02, 2013. I'm not remotely a naturalist, but a quick Google search suggests this is a female Polyphemus moth, which flew into the study and was subsequently carried out and set free.

Rodney Welch: The Blog. The less social, the better the media. Thursday, December 11, 2014. Well, this is nice. The good folks at Full Stop. Chose my July 8 piece on the third volume of Karl Ove Knausgaard's My Struggle. As one of the ten best reviews they published in 2014. Volume 4 arrives around Spring of 2015. I can only hope the Full Stop people let me tackle it. I'm already on the list for it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Citizen Kane (Orson Welles). The Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir).

Rodney Welch: The Blog: Wilds Times
http://rodneywelch.blogspot.com/2014/11/wilds-times.html
Rodney Welch: The Blog. The less social, the better the media. Friday, November 28, 2014. I gave Julia Elliott's short story collection The Wilds. A bit of a rave some weeks ago, amidst interviewing her for the Free-Times. I loved her wit, her tangy prose, skewed perspective, and fervid imagination. All good, all true, hope it leads to bigger and better things. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Citizen Kane (Orson Welles). The Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir). Late Spring (Yasujiro Ozu).

Rodney Welch: The Blog. The less social, the better the media. Thursday, December 04, 2014. Nabokov, At Least. Has anyone ever drafted a "Nabokov: From Best to Worst" list? If so, Laughter in the Dark. Would likely have a fairly secure spot among the lower rungs, along with bad plays like The Tragedy of Mister Morn. And certain early ( Glory. And late ( Look at the Harlequins! Part of the problem, as Brian Boyd pointed out in Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years. Which an older, wiser VN rewrote, lifting ...
