Admittedly a pretty damn interesting list. Agree with several picks. Two of my most favs, Tyler The Creator, & J Jarmusch, are included. Jim must be getting one of his wry kicks out of it.

Stan Getz / João Gilberto: Getz/Gilberto Read Andy Beta’s review of the album.

The Classic

". . .hit No. 5 on the singles chart, a remarkable feat for a jazz tune, and Getz/Gilberto climbed all the way to No. 2 on the albums chart, kept from the top of the charts by the Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night."

Waking up 6AM to network news leading w/ 7 million people taking to USA Streets yesterday chanting, "Hey hey ho ho donald trump has got to go" = best weekend yet in disastrous trump reign. People know a self-appointed self-righteous authoritarian lawless King when they see one & they see him.

All brilliant-silly but nothing prepares for the exquisite kinetic art orgasm starting at 3:17 when she dances down a cellblock corridor with bitches in bikinis & stiletto boots. from the days Gaga made short Art Films with her Singles. Incomparably naughty fun.

AIDS quilt 1980s -
My conservative gay friends & colleagues (yes I have those) anger me when they praise Ronald Reagan, who erased the AIDS Crisis & didn't give a shit that people were dying on his watch. Fuck Reagan forever for his inhumanity.

Director : Andrew Dominik.
Most favorite Western ever. Also most favorite lead male performance ever (Casey Affleck), even beats Nicholson in Chinatown or Pacino in Godfather2 or Freeman in Seven (Se7en) for me.
