Queued Up: Picking The Most Rockin' Discs Of The Month
(RE)DISCOVERING BRIAN ENO – While most mainstream people know Brian Eno for his time with Roxy Music, his producing work with U2 and Coldplay and his collaborations with David Bowie, far less know of his pioneering ambient work that influenced everything from movie soundtracks to the “electronica” movement of the ‘90s. So we have a novel item here: A music documentary that’s actually about music. I’m being facetious, of course, but Brian Eno – 1971-1977: The Man Who Fell To Earth is a two-and-a-half hour British examination of Eno’s early years that features the kinds of talking heads that you never see on VH1-style music docs anymore. In other words, not airheaded celebs but respected music journos (like Simon Reynolds and Robert Christgau), musicians (Robert Rich and Cluster), an Eno biographer and others. Because this is not an authorized documentary, Eno himself only appears very briefly in clips licensed from British TV interviews. Don’t let the authorized part dissuade you. Eno allegedly discusses little of his early ambient work in interviews these days, so that makes this piece important and accessible to both newbies as well as fans who want to revisit his early days. This in-depth doc may be too heady to absorb in one sitting, but it’s definitely worthwhile.
ARGENTO ANEW – There are few companies putting cult movies out on Blu-ray, and thankfully Blue Underground is one of them. While both The Cat O’ Nine Tails ) as a musician who witnesses the bloody murder of a psychic and is intent on tracking down the killer with the help of a reporter. (Heyyyyyy, wait a minute…) Don’t be fooled. These are very different movies. But I have noticed that Argento likes to get his protagonists involved in things that could easily lead to their deaths. (Hey, life is short, so why not take chances, right?) The director’s early films were ripe with unhinged killers, plenty of innovative camera work and introduced the world to the superlative soundtrack work of Goblin. Deep Red particularly is essential viewing, and both feature the kind of devious plotting and saturated colors that Italian’s maestro of horror is known for. Now the carnage is in HD.

Think about the implications of those statements. eHow is saying that online scrabble is somehow NOT REAL SCRABBLE. And I like the fact that eHow just asserts the fact that crossword puzzles are more fun than movie quizzes. Ha! I think that is a tad bit extreme. We need some sort of clarification. Perhaps that crossword puzzles are generally more fun than movie quizzes to those whose lives are properly ordered? I don’t know, but eHow is funnily drastic.
