These last tapes cover interviews with the Brother between 2011 and 2013 plus some 2018 tapes. I’ve had luls in the recording sessions, times when I didn’t have a good recorder or periods like when Covid started and then the restrictions were largely lifted. This, however is the whole enchilada of the Brother Project (so […]

The Accutower of Power
Currently in the Eyeholes: Le Samouraï (Typewriter Sighting!)
Rest in peace, Alain Delon – It was a real dick move to request that your *still alive* dog be buried with you, but thankfully your family didn’t do that, and now all you’ve got is a stain on your legacy. That said, I still like Le Samouraï, and watched it again tor the typewriter […]
Mail Call: Passport to Adventure!
Currently in the Eyeholes: Dark City
Better than I remember, maybe because I watched the Theatrical Cut before, not the Director’s Cut. I felt compelled to put it on after a review by a Typospherian (can’t find it now or remember who) on his blog and also one on Ty and That Guy in the same month. Too much of a […]

Mail Call: Power Brick & Pencils
A Plan Has Been Laid…
Last night’s Movie In The Eyeholes: Altman’s “The Long Goodbye“. Like every other Altman film, it’s muddled and somewhat incoherent on first watch because of often ad-libbed and overlapping dialogue, but worth a second watch to really get what’s going on. Weird choice of having all the in-universe music just be different renditions of the […]
Mail Call: Sewing Machines & Adler J3(n)s!
Currently in the eyeholes: (restored 1977 version – Han shot first! Also have the 2004 Special Edition from the DVD set on here, but prolly won’t ever watch that “CGI slapstick in the streets of Mos Eisley” version again. I think the last time I saw this version was 1978 at the Cine Capri downtown. […]
More Kaiju Composers!
WoC: “Mothra” 1972 IBM Selectric Composer #5016537 Reminder for me how the ribbon winds onto the spools and which way is “top”. Trust me, I did it wrong *TWICE* :D Way back in 2015, I picked up a working Selectric Composer which I named “Mothra”, and at the time I think it was probably the […]

Mail Call: Poltburo Mail & Six Flags Over Jesus – Phoenix, 1986
Also, now that I have a stereo cassette deck again, I’ve been sampling old tapes I have in my collection. This one, which I think is from 1986, is a tape I recorded of a local band called “Six Flags over Jesus” (not the ones found in Google nowadays) at a bar called “Crash“. Recorded […]
