Back from the framers. A rare, original cinema window card from Hollywood's #GoldenAge, for the 1930 film Shadow of the Law.
Yet another unexpected/bonkers vintage movie find in a Swiss charity shop. Previously, I also found 3 half-sheet posters from the 1940s/50s.

Haha, oh god, it must already be happening.
I just realised I put on a Tangerine Dream album subconsciously.

Me (every morning): "Today I will listen to something upbeat & uplifting!.."
1 hour later...
I select an album by an East European or Scandi composer known for their bleak, plaintive &/or atonal works with titles like 'Requiem for Hope', 'Lament', 'Death of the Sky' & 'His Last Winter'.

Little bastard house obsession update.
Always so near yet so far.
I *suspect* that's the house/shop/business in the background of this Whit walk photo. Ward & Ward, mechanical engineers and sheet metal workers, 48 Russell St.

Somebody posted an old photo in a Facebook local group and asked if anyone could clean it up. Well-meaning people turned to #AI. Lots of responders seemed happy with the results, but this is how you destroy historical records.

#NowPlaying an old Мелодия label copy of Romeo & Juliet by Prokofiev, which I picked up decades ago for a quid.
I was lucky enough to see the Bolshoi Ballet perform it at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow (back when it was feasible to live there)*
*I say feasible: someone shot at me from a high-rise.

Oddly, I didn't mind the wolf, although I can imagine that if I'd had a hypnagogic experience like that, I'd feel different. Though not from the Well-Loved Tales series, these Ladybird images unsettled me (No idea why Old Father Time bothered me):

No matter how many recordings you hear, it's hard not to measure them against the 1st that imprinted on you as a kid.
Recorded by the Halle, whose home was the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, it came out in 1976, just as the Sex Pistols were playing upstairs at the Lesser Free Trade Hall.

No matter how many classic #Hollywood score composers I listen to - Waxman, Korngold, Newman, Rózsa, Tiomkin, North, Steiner - I always gravitate back towards Bernard Herrmann.

#NowPlaying Oneohtrix Point Never albums, 5 of which were also released as 'Rifts' (2012). #Hauntology morphing into #vaporwave. Dreamy, hypnagogic, experimental; echoes of vintage games consoles, Boards of Canada, Tangerine Dream, Steve Reich, Wendy Carlos, old TV ads on warped VHS tapes.
