Rest in peace to one of the most underrated producers in Jamaican music history, Phil Pratt. Over the many years on our radio show, we spotlit many of Pratt's labels, including his Sounds United imprint, which we did back in 2015. Thank you, Phil π

"Reality has touched against myth
Humanity can move to achieve the impossible
Because when you've achieved one impossible others
Come together to be with their brother, the first impossible
Borrowed from the rim of the myth
Happy Space Age to you..."

Love these paintings, and the Sun Ra doc is quite good! You'll dig it!

Rest in peace, Tom Noonan π A terrific actor and indie filmmaker. It's ironic that Tom died on Valentine's Day, as his 1994 masterwork, What Happened Was... which he wrote, directed, and starred in, is easily the most painfully uncomfortable first date film ever made.

Rest in peace Frederick Wiseman, and a thousand times thank you for your exemplary work. For just Titicut Follies alone, and the amount of grief that you received for making this essential document that exposed an ugly truth, you deserve our endless sympathy and praise.

We recently watched this "making of" short on Popcorn, and we were stunned to discover that theatre used in the film was the historic Ward Theater in Kingston, Jamaica! According to the short, it was abandoned and in bad shape so they had to make it work.

Rest in peace, Bud π When you get mired watching the endless morass of predictable media being created, you need put on Harold and Maude to remind yourself that most of what we see now feels like it's being held hostage. We so love his work in that film.
