Great soundtrack. Beyond psychedelic... I don't know where to begin to tell you how much I love these two films:

A Whale of a Tale
Quite looking forward to this Sunday ---
Stephin Merritt (of the Magnetic Fields) to perform his new live score to the rarely screened and epochal 1916 silent film version of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea!
Sorta wishing that it'll be in the same spirit as this Disney approved 1954 remake with the dreamiest of cast ---

Foxtrot Echo Lima Tango
The time has finally arrived...
Foxtrot Echo Lima Tango is a fanzine for Felt and all things Lawrence. You must check out the accompanying blog here. And the launch is on Sunday June 6th from 2pm at London's The Hangover Lounge, located at The Lexington on Pentonville Road. The afternoon will feature writer, record mogul and former Felt bassist Phil King DJing and live tributes from some very special guests to be unveiled shortly. And of course, the zine will be available for the first time! I so wish I can be there... In spirit...
And Holy Shit and I have contributed a collaborative piece to it!

Feeling fine but it must be the wine cuz' it's April 27th...
Rainy Season in the Tropics (1866)
Oil on canvas
56 1/4 x 84 3/16 in. (142.9 x 213.8 cm)
M.H. de Young Museum, San Francisco
And on this same tour, we both discovered Destroyer. We listened Destroyer's Rubies everyday on the road. It changed my life. I think it did for Tom as well.
I can't listen to this album without thinking about that time now. I still can't believe what has just happened. You didn't know it Tom but you were my most loyal friend.
And miraculously this song popped up this evening --- Destroyer's The Music Lovers.
Farewell Sir Thomas.

Viet Nhac 1
Here is the first mix of my Vietnamese music series compilation - songs mostly from the 60s and 70s... POPular songs as that's what I'm into...

The second mix can only be heard at the delectable An Choi Eatery in NYC... so you best make your way there in the near future!
These are achingly gorgeous songs --- pure poetry --- you don't have to know the language nor understand the lyrics - you can just feel it...

Here is Viet Pop Music 101 from this period (one of the endless and oh so essential lessons from the Pops) -
The three main players:
Trinh Cong Son: He used the music to write the lyrics.
Joan Baez once dubbed him the "Bob Dylan" of Vietnam because of his anti-war anthems. My dad disagreed, "He is beyond Bob Dylan. He means so much more to the Vietnamese people than Dylan to this world. Trinh Cong Son is a genius."
Pham Duy: He uses the lyrics to write the music.
Before Trinh Cong Son, Duy was the only one worth listening to...
Albums should start with a spoken word Intro but the Outro is optional. Well in this case, I have both just to be sure I'm doing it right... (here is the suggested order)
And most importantly, Khanh Ly was born to sing Trinh Cong Son's songs...

Oh My Darling Clementine
Pham Duy - a total genius.
All I can listen to is Vietnamese Music since I've been back... Almost done with the first mix!

Quan Oc Thanh Long
If you happen to make your way to District 3 in Saigon, please make sure to stop by Quán Ốc Thành Long to "ăn chơi" --- a bit of a gluttony will never hurt you..
A good sauce goes a long way...
Best razor clams I've ever had...
And it wouldn't be what is it (which is completely out of this world) unless you down it with Biere LaRue (for the discerning connoisseur).
