This is the year I make my mark."What to say about Vision Quest? It's a staple of any well rounded '80s film diet. Unless you're cutting weight at an unhealthy rate. And let it be known, since I don't think I quite drove it home during this episode....this is one of my all time (unlikely) favorite movies.Matthew Modine and Linda Fiorentino make this a most pleasurable trip into making one's mark on the eve of adulthood. Michael Schoeffling delivers as Kuch in one of the better roles of his short film career. Frank Jasper as Shute! A nicely stacked cast against a fantastically stacked soundtrack, with Tangerine Dream bringing up the rear on the score. As Elmo would say "it's ain't the one hour and forty seven minutes....it's what happens in the one hour and forty seven minutes." Fairly profound. He also said "A cooze doctor in outer space?", so...

This week I'm recommending four crime films from the 1970s and early 80s. Each one centers on a planned job, bank heists, robberies, break-ins, and none of them go smoothly. The tone across these films is lean, serious, and focused on the people involved more than the action. There's a lot of attention to detail, and they hold up well.Charley Varrick (1973) Directed by Don Siegel. Walter Matthau plays a bank robber who ends up in the crosshairs of something bigger than expected. Matthau had just done more comedic work at the time, so this role stood out. Joe Don Baker plays a contract killer hired to clean things up. Lalo Schifrin did the score, which is sharp and suits the pace. It was based on the novel The Looters by John Reese.The Anderson Tapes (1971)Directed by Sidney Lumet. Sean Connery is a thief planning to rob an entire apartment building. The film stands out for how it handles surveillance. Almost every major character is being watched by police, by private groups, by government agencies. This was Christopher Walken's first film. The music is by Quincy Jones, and it's more experimental than you'd expect.Thief (1981) Michael Mann's first feature film. James Caan plays a professional safecracker who wants to get out after one last job. Mann used real tools and brought in actual former thieves to advise on the technical side. The film has a cold, exact feel. The soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream. It's shot in Chicago and uses the city well without overdoing it.The Getaway (1972) Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw star as a couple on the run after a robbery. The script was written by Walter Hill and based on a novel by Jim Thompson. The film was a big success when it came out and mixes action with slower moments of tension. McQueen did many of his own stunts. It's one of the more polished crime films of its time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

Seven more 70's movies, we can scratch off our list. Welcome to Reviews number #50.
Done over 70 movie showcases, and now 50 episodes of movie reviews equalling over 400 films.
Amazing, great work team.
1. (Dusty and Sweets Mcgee 1971) Here is neat documentary style look at drug addiction as people walk around L.A. looking to score.
2. (1776 1972) A musical I had not seen, annnnnd I'm a musical learner so I actually learned more from this story written by a history teacher then I did in school. This story and School house rock! Knight riders car and DR. Green's dad from E.R. are here.
3. (Top of the Heap 1972) Sadly here is another buried film, thanks Racism. It's starting to come around and I hope we can help. It's serious and heavy and it's written, directed and stars Christopher St. John whom we should have seen much more of. Paula Kelly from many films including The spook who sat by the door is here, and she has a poster of Baphomet!
 4. (California Reich 1974) This Academy award nominated documentary should definitely be seen and is available on YouTube. This and Jesus Camp 2006 should be on a shelf marked, Well we did fucking warn you!
5. (Sorcerer 1977) Yeah F what the director says this is definitely false advertising. Movie is cool and we get More Roy Scheider and an amazing soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, but there are absolutely no witches wizard or magic at all in this film.
6. (Phantasm 1979) Great flippin title. Group of hard working ambitious stoners make a movie that is very creative, cray, and not a Women hating slasher film. I'm here for it.
7. (More American Graffiti 1979) I wanna just say cash grab, but they waited 6 years. I guess you had happy days in 74. Grease was 78 sooooo they probably tackled George to make sequel for some beach houses. George had little to do with this, editing the screenplay and apparently “Supervising.” People like to dismiss, but we found a few things here that we dug, also some real weirdness, which I keep writing about some and then erasing, meaning, if you saw the first one this is worth a watch. Thanks always for listening. Please like and subscribe, why not.

Send us a textRISKYSometimes you gotta say, “What the Fuck” to research, make your move. This week Season 14's penultimate 1x1 is co-host Ryan's pick: RISKY BUSINESS (1983). His reason: TGTPTU normally pairs filmographies of a single director or actor, and the writer-director on this film was so triggered by the experience of having his written, shot, and edited original ending replaced in the final cut that he never directed another film again… or at least not until his second film in 1990 (WTF, Ryan?).  This film that would go on to become part of 1980s iconography by first-time director Paul Brickman, who had previously written the Michael Pressman-directed The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977) and the Jonathan Demme-directed Handle with Care (1977) and would later be one of three credited writers on Clint Eastwood's True Crime (alternately known as Speed Zoo) (1999), Risky Business as dark teen comedy and potential Reagon-era satire stars a number of early roles by actors who'd become comedy stars of the 1980s, including as the protagonist Joel's fellow yuppie North Shore friends and entrepreneuring high school seniors in their first film appearances Curtis Armstrong (also known as Booger in the 1980s) and Bronson Pinchot (aka Balki in the 80s). It costars Rebecca De Mornay (later in the 90s known for her roles as a terrible nanny and as Milady de Winter) as the business-savvy prostitute, and has an early movie appearance by Joey Pants (known in the late-90s for taking the blue pill, Ralphie Cifaretto in the 00s, and a Bad Boy 4 life) as Guido the pimp.   Oh, and it's also the first time that actor born Thomas Mapother IV, better known later in life by his stage name Tom Cruise, stars in the leading role in a film (but not the first time he danced in his underwear or kissed a female person, if DVD commentary tracks are to be believed).  Behind the camera, you have two cinematographers: Eastwood's 70s and early-80s collaborator Bruce Surtees as well as regular Hollywood comedy lenser Reynaldo Villalobos. Pod-favorite Tangerine Dream scores. And the film scores big with first watches by host Tom and guest host Jack and with the Gen X'ers Ken and Ryan.   It's a wild ride, so mind your parking brake. In this episode Ryan explains the economic milieu behind the 80's yuppie culture to the two young hosts while drawing comparisons to American Psycho (2000); the two Zoomers discover how to shorten future episodes; and Broom Hilda's creator, whose life strangely overlaps with Ken's past and present, drops by studio.  Our podcast is The Good, The Pod, and The Ugly. We deal in human fulfillment. We grossed over eight thousand listeners in one night. An hour of your life, huh, kid?  FURTHER NOTESThomas requested we share the following Wikipedia links for those who'd like to perform additional research or to simply follow along: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Booker%27s_marathon_speechhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Detroit  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cop_Rock  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_RenegadesTHEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpodugly

This week on Line Noise I spoke to Thorsten Quaeschning, the musical director (and longest-standing member) of foundational German band Tangerine Dream, a group whose influence looms over ambient and electronic music. We spoke about black metal, where to start with Tangerine Dream, founder member Edgar Froese's plans for the band after his death in 2015 and how the current band (in which Quaeschning is joined by Hoshiko Yamane and Paul Frick) are carrying these out. Line Noise is brought to you by Cupra. The photo is from the band's recent Barcelona concert.

Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard (One Heat Minute Productions) and special guest Bilge Ebiri (film critic/writer/editor at New York Magazine) collaborate to dissect a special CRITERION COLLECTION release.ThiefThe contemporary American auteur Michael Mann's bold artistic sensibility was already fully formed when he burst out of the gate with Thief, his debut feature. James Caan stars, in one of his most riveting performances, as a no-nonsense ex-con professional thief planning to leave the criminal world behind after one last score—but he discovers that escape is not as simple as he'd hoped. Finding hypnotic beauty in neon and rain-slick streets, sparks and steel, Thief effortlessly established the moody stylishness, tactile approach, and drama that would also define such later iconic Mann films as Heat, The Insider, Ali, and The Last of the Mohicans.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration of the director's cut, supervised and approved by director Michael Mann, with 5.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring Mann and actor James CaanInterviews with Mann, Caan, and Johannes Schmoelling of the band Tangerine Dream, which contributed the film's soundtrackTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Nick JamesCover by Fred DavisBILGE EBIRI: BILGE EBIRI IS A FILM CRITIC/WRITER/EDITOR AT NEW YORK MAGAZINE.

  Another electronic gem from Erwin Broers. He has become my go to guy for berlin-school music and I'm totally here for it. I've said many times that I like hosting guest mixes from artists and listeners because I always discover new music. And this set is a perfect example - other than Ron Boots, every artist in this mix is new to me.   Here's what Erwin has to say about this mix: "The theme this time is "Electronic Gems From The Lowlands", the lowlands being Belgium and the Netherlands. Both countries are neighbours of Germany, where Electronic Music took off in the early 1970s. It was therefore inevitable that many local progressive artists became fascinated by synthesizers and inspired by this new genre known as "Kosmische Musik" (cosmic music). Influence of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze is obvious, but there's also a hint at prog rock and a few tracks come close to melodic synth pop similar to Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre." Thanks for a great set, Erwin!

Thanks to a listener donation, Mike and Mike are taking the time to look back on the films scored by Tangerine Dream! In this retrospective, we're talking six films that we felt were representative of the Tangerine Dream filmography: Sorcerer, Thief, Risky Business, Legend, Near Dark, and Miracle Mile - plus we toss in a couple of extras too!

Today on Line Noise, something of a Krautrock special as we speak to Wolfgang Seidel, the former drummer in Eruption, a group founded by (former Tangerine Dream and Kluster member) Conrad Schnitzler, that was once described as “a thinktank for the then explosive Krautrock scene”. Seidel is also the author of a new book: Krautrock Eruption – An Introduction To German Electronic Music 1970-1980, which I thoroughly recommend. Obviously, we spoke about Krautrock, its influences today, about alternative histories, Kraftwerk, capitalism and more. Enjoy it and just remember - Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

MONSTER PARTY HAS A SONG IN ITS HEART.  NOW WE'LL NEVER GET IT BACK IN ITS JAR! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, get their toes a tappin' for this monstrous music festival of an episode. Follow the bouncing ball as we present… SOUNDTRACKS: THE SONGS!!! Soundtracks are usually remembered for the emotion-evoking melodies that gracefully punctuate the moments of a film. There are many masters of this remarkable craft: Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, John Barry, Lalo Schifrin, Goblin, John Carpenter, Bernard Herrmann, and countless others that only James Gonis could remember. But occasionally, plopped in the middle of all this symphonic pageantry, is an actual song with lyrics that makes us wish for a Karaoke bar strictly for nerds. Get ready for a sinister sing-a-long as we chart the hits from campy sci-fi favorites like The Blob and The Green Slime, bawdy beach films, 70's and 80's horror classics, genre TV shows, classic kaiju films, the world of James Bond, Star Trek and Star Wars, an odd sampling of Jerry Lewis films, and sooooo much more! Helping us DJ this shindig of shocks is a friend of the show, who was our last in-studio guest before COVID 19 screwed everything up. He's a soundtrack journalist, editor, genre columnist, podcaster, and supervises soundtrack temp tracks for many films. He's also a really great actor! Please welcome back… DANIEL SCHWEIGER!

  I have continued my recent bingeing of berlin-school electronic music. Devouring old and new music. So I was very excited when guest mixer Erwin Broers reached with a new berlin-school mix. Woo hoo! It's all new music, some of Erwin's favorites from 2024. I was familiar with about half of the artists some it was great to discover new music.   I'll let Erwin tell you about the mix: "I was inspired by LLM end of the year mixes on ambient and jazz. I came up with the idea of doing something similar for the Berlin School subgenre. So I checked a few blogs and searched specialized web shops for the most interesting releases of 2024. The result is a near-2hr foray with lots of different styles and atmospheres, ranging from dark to uplifting, retro analog to modern digital, occasionally with a touch of electric guitar and percussions, but almost always with typical layers of sequencers and soundscapes. The influence of the pioneers of the genre, Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, is still very much alive in some tracks, almost 50 years after their prime. Filtercafe and Sequentia Legenda obviously draw from that heritage.

Vision Quest was released in theaters February 15, 1985. Based on a book that was hot in the young adult space, it featured a young Matthew Modine as Loudon Swain - a high school wrestler from Spokane, Washington who is looking to accomplish something big in his life. While the movie had limited appeal beyond teenagers (it only grossed $13 million), cable TV and video rental stores gave the movie continued life among teenagers for many years. A big reason it continued to draw 80s teens and carry such strong nostalgia today is the soundtrack. Put together by John Kalodner for Geffen Records, it featured some of the hottest pop and rock artists of the day and sold over 1 million copies in the US. Madonna, who was hot off her Like A Virgin Tour, contributes two songs - the unreleased as a single in the US Gambler and mega hit Crazy For You - and she had a cameo in the film singing them both. Journey offered Only The Young from the Frontiers sessions and the video, like Crazy For You, featured scenes from the film, helping the singles sell big numbers. Those two songs along with Red Rider's Lunatic Fringe set the tone for the film and make the songs and movie so intertwined. Some songs from bands like The Style Council, Don Henley and Dio might be overlooked as background music to certain scenes, songs like Change by John Waite (written by the legend Holly Knight) and Lunatic Fringe really keep you energized and engaged in Loudon's quest to drop 22 pounds and beat the unbeatable Shute on the wrestling mat. You have the tender Crazy For You for the romantic scenes, Journey for the training scenes and lots of rock and pop royalty. Even great songs by Berlin, Quarterflash and REO Speedwagon were left off the soundtrack but appear in the movie, including some solid work by Tangerine Dream. Maybe we like this film because as two former teenage boys, we could relate to what this guy was going through. But we continue to like the soundtrack because it had killer songs (with a couple of clunkers) that stand the test of time and play a huge role in the film.

Set in Romania during World War II, it follows a group of Nazi soldiers who unleash a malevolent supernatural force after setting up camp in an ancient stone fortress in the Carpathian Mountains. It is an adaptation of the 1981 novel of the same title by American writer F. Paul Wilson.[5] The musical score was composed by Tangerine Dream.”Also discussed: Wolf's Hole (1987), Penance by Eliza Clark, more Peter Greenaway with The Draughtsman's Contract, Philomena Cunk, Taskmaster, The Devils, Ian McKellen, Gabriel Byrne, tv versions of Ace Ventura or The Breakfast Club, Miami Vice, Sorcerer, Porky's, and more. NEXT WEEK: Queen of Spades (1949) Follow them across the internet:Bloodhaus: https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/ Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

This week on "Shat the Movies," we're diving into Thief (1981), Michael Mann's gritty, neon-lit crime drama starring James Caan. Join us as we explore the world of Frank, a professional thief with a plan, as he navigates loyalty, betrayal, and the high cost of trust. We'll discuss the film's stylish direction, intense performances, and its influence on later crime thrillers. Whether you're a fan of Mann's work or new to this classic, tune in for a deep dive into one of the best heist films of the ‘80s! Plot Summary: In the 1981 neo-noir crime thriller Thief, directed by Michael Mann, James Caan stars as Frank, a skilled safecracker and professional thief who dreams of leaving his criminal life behind to pursue a normal existence. Frank operates with precision and discipline, running his own crew and keeping his operations clean and professional. His ultimate goal is to settle down with his girlfriend, Jessie (Tuesday Weld), and start a family. Frank's plans take a turn when a powerful Chicago mob boss, Leo (Robert Prosky), offers him a lucrative job with promises of financial security and a quick path to retirement. Initially reluctant, Frank agrees to the deal, lured by the prospect of fulfilling his dream. However, as he becomes entangled in Leo's web of control, Frank realizes that walking away from the mob may be harder—and deadlier—than he anticipated. The film features one of its most iconic scenes early on: an intense, wordless safecracking sequence that showcases Frank's meticulous craftsmanship, set against a haunting score by Tangerine Dream. As the story unfolds, Frank's moral code is tested, and his determination to break free from his past leads to explosive confrontations with Leo and his henchmen. Thief is a quintessential Michael Mann film, blending atmospheric visuals, urban grit, and a character-driven story of ambition and betrayal. James Caan's powerhouse performance captures the complexity of a man struggling to reconcile his criminal skills with his desire for a better life. The film's themes of independence, loyalty, and personal freedom resonate through its high-stakes narrative and stunning action sequences. Join our podcast review as we revisit Thief, discussing its intense heist scenes, iconic soundtrack, and whether this neo-noir classic still stands as one of the best in its genre today.

The mid-80's were a tough time for Elton John.  The singer and pianist who had been a stellar success in the 70's was deep in the clutches of drug addiction, and struggling to perform due to throat issues.  His studio album, "Leather Jackets" had failed to produce a single to reach the top 40.  It seemed that he was finding more controversy in the British tabloids than he was success in the music industry.In the midst of this, however, he produced a stellar live album.  Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was John's twenty-eighth official album release, focusing on some of the performers earlier hits.  In the last two months of 1986, Elton John did a series of concerts as a part of his tour of Australia and New Zealand which contained two sets.  The first set was a traditional concert with John and his 14-piece band.  The second set had the band backed by the 88-piece Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with John dressed as Mozart in front of the grand piano.  The Live album captured this symphonic second set.The album was a success, hitting number 24 on the Billboard 200 and certifying gold by January 1988.This concert also marked a change.  It was the last in which Elton John appeared in his elaborate stage costumes.  He also underwent throat surgery in January 1987 which - while successful - permanently altered his voice.  His next few albums would be somewhat more successful, but he would sober up in the early 90's and release his highly successful "The One" album in 1992.Bruce presents this live symphonic hit for this week's podcast. Burn Down the MissionThis song is the concluding track of John's third album, "Tumbleweed Connection."  That was a concept album with the theme of Western Americana.  The lyrics  are a bit vague, but the story tells of a poor community oppressed by some kind of powerful force.  The singer has taken direct action to remedy the situation, and is defending his action of burning down the mission as the only way to defend his family.  Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest WordHailing from his "Blue Moves" studio album, this sad song is characterized by lyricist Bernie Taupin as "that whole idealistic feeling people get when they want to save something from dying when they basically know deep down inside that it is already dead."  Take Me to the PilotOriginally from John's self-titled second album, this song contains lyrics which both John and Taupin admit are nonsensical, but just contain words that sound good together.  Six of the 14 tracks on this live album are from Elton John's second album. Candle In the WindThis song from the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album was never released as a single in the US until it was released in this live version.  Taupin used Marilyn Monroe as an archetype of the famous artist cut down in the prime of life.  He was initially inspired by hearing Clive Davis using the phrase "candle in the wind" in tribute to Janis Joplin.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the motion picture SpaceballsMel Brooks is at it again, this time with his classic spoof on Star Wars.  May the Schwartz be with you! STAFF PICKS:Throwing It All Away by GenesisLynch kicks off the staff picks with this single from the Invisible Touch album that went to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford wrote the song and lyrics.  The upbeat music is quite different from the melancholy lyrics about a love who is leaving the singer.Don't Let Me Die Young by Andy TaylorRob brings us a solo single from Duran Duran's guitarist.  The video for the song depicts at-risk youth engaged in dangerous activities at night from crime and cars to drugs.  Taylor's album "Thunder" came out in the midst of the hair metal band's height. This single also features Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols.Alone Again Or by The DamnedWayne features a cover song originally recorded in 1967 by the group Love.  The Damned began as a punk group, and moved to post-punk, somewhat goth rock over time.  Love was an inspiration for the Damned, which encouraged them to cover this song.  The horns give the track a Spanish feel.Housequake by PrinceBruce closes out the staff picks with a party song from the double album "Sign O' The Times."  It was the B-side for the single "U Got the Look."  Prince used pitch-shifted vocals to create a higher, more feminine voice for this track.  It was originally going to be on an androgynous alter persona album called "Camille" before it was folded into this double album.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:21st Century Common Man, Pt. 1 by Tangerine DreamThis jazz group closes out our podcast this week.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

  At the beginning of September when I posted my "Sequencer City" mix, I said I'd been on a berlin school bender. Well, now three months later I'm still on that sequencer synth kick. At the end of October the analog synth itch was scratched by a stellar guest mix from Erwin Broers called "Capturing The Voice Of A Galaxy." It featured tracks from the Klaus Schulz label, "Innovative Communications. Now we have have a follow up mix from Erwin called "Back to the Roots of Berlin School." Oh man, this is some good stuff! Erwin tells me that "there's a whole sub-category of "Berlin School" out there called "Retro Berlin School". In the mid 1990's "Berlin School" was revived by nostalgic electronic artists who benefited from technological innovations to make the iconic analog synths such as the Mellotron, the ARP 2600 and the big Moog Modular more playable. The result was a huge resurgence of mid 1970's style Berlin School EM which was dubbed "retro" to mark the difference with the classics such as Tangerine Dream's Stratosfear, Klaus Schulze's Timewind and Ashra's New Age Of Earth." I hope my current obsession with this genre continues because I am loving every minute of it. Thanks for another great mix, Erwin.

Welcome to Live From Progzilla Towers Edition 542. In this edition we heard music by Then Jerico, Barclay James Harvest, Herin, Jacula, Psychoyogi, Versa, Manu Katche, Pete Sinfield, King Crimson, Kansas, Lizzard, Oddleaf, Tangerine Dream, Jethro Tull, Nine Stones Close, Zoungla, Achelas, Martin Orford & The Montgolfier Brothers.

A number of bands seem to turn a corner with their third album, and Master of Puppets is no exception.  Metallica's third album would achieve both critical and commercial success, crossing out of the new thrash metal sub-genre of hard rock to achieve multi-platinum recognition.  Lead singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield collaborated with drummer Lars Ulrich as the principal songwriters, creating riffs that were assembled and reassembled over time until they formed a song.  The band would then be called in to create a tile and topic for the song, at which point Hetfield would create the lyrics.Master of Puppets peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.  Although glam metal was on the rise, the band avoided the over-produced, synth-laden sound popular in the era, and stuck to their signature thrash metal sound with political lyrics.  The resulting album would consolidate the thrash metal scene, and bring the sound into a more mainstream audience.Unfortunately, the album would also be the last one for which bassist Cliff Burton would be featured.  Burton died in September 1986 while the band was on tour in Sweden, and their bus was involved in an accident.Metallica would become a huge group from the late 80's onward, and this album shows the strength of the group in those years when they were just coming into the consciousness of the commercial world.Lynch brings us this highly influential thrash metal album.  Fans of the Show Julie Doran and son Zack join us in Wayne's absence for today's podcast. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)The song that concludes side 1 of the album was inspired by Ken Kesey's novel "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."  The lyrics portray the thoughts of a mental patient incorrectly institutionalized in an asylum.  The track starts slow and picks up steam as it goes.  BatteryThis title could be a reflection of the charge of assault and battery, or it could be inspired by the military hardware of an artillery battery.  There is also a connection to the original San Francisco thrash scene, centered on the Old Waldorf club on Battery Street.  Control of violent urges is a connection that runs through the piece regardless of the original inspiration.Master of PuppetsCocaine addiction is the master of puppets referenced in this title track.  Hetfield had friends experiencing drug addiction, and wrote this track from the perspective of the drug itself, taking over the lives of people.  This will be a familiar song to fans of "Stranger Things." ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Loved By the Sun by Jon Anderson and Tangerine Dream (from the motion picture “Legend”)This fantasy film starring Tom Cruise and Mia Sara was in the theaters at this time. STAFF PICKS:Your Wildest Dreams by the Moody BluesRob starts off the staff picks with a song that singer and guitarist Justin Heyward wrote while thinking back on his first love.  It hit number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, making this song the biggest commercial success for the Moody Blues since "Knights in White Satin."Mothers Talk by Tears for FearsBruce's staff pick was inspired by a mom telling her kids that when they make faces, they will freeze that way.  It is also inspired by an anti-nuclear cartoon called "When the Wind Blows" by Raymond Briggs.  The song was written by Roland Orzabal and Ian Stanley, and first performed in 1983.  It went to number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. Kiss by Prince & the RevolutionJulie features a chart topping hit and lead single from Prince's eighth studio album, "Parade."  The song is more acoustic and stripped down than prior Prince hits, and Warner Bros. didn't want to release it as a single.  However, Prince insisted on both its inclusion on the album and its release as a single.Addicted to Love by Robert PalmerLynch closes out the staff picks with a song that may be more famous for its video featuring models pretending to play the instruments.  Palmer originally wanted to sing this song as a duet with Chaka Kahn, but was prevented from doing so by legal issues.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Songbird by Kenny G.You just can't go wrong with a sax as we close out today's podcast.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

In 1973, a Californian by the name of Archie Patterson became so enthused by all the interesting underground European experimental/electronic music he was hearing that he started up a fanzine dedicated to it, called Eurock. It lasted 40 issues, through 1990. In 1979, a Brit by the name of David Elliott felt much the same way and, in part inspired by Eurock and also by post-punk DIY culture, started his own zine Neumusik. While it only lasted 6 issues, until 1982, during that time it grew to over 70 pages and set David off exploring Europe to interview many of the important artists in person.What kind of artists are we talking about? Some of them you may know, like Can, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Nektar, Neu!, Heldon, Chrome, or Urban Sax.. Others you may never have heard of, like Guru Guru, Asmus Tietchens, Atem, Art Zoyd III, Gunter Schickert, or Shub Niggurath. All of them were at the forefront of musical creativity towards the end of the 20th Century, and Eurock and Neumusik were at the forefront of the fanzines writing about them, interviewing them, and cataloguing their culture. Patterson grew a distribution service and began publishing books; he still posts twice-weekly about the music on his Facebook. Elliot started a “band,” a cassette label, and recently wrote an extensive book on the British pop music of 1984.For more information about their zines, their culture, and where to get copies of their books, please head on over to https://tonyfletcher.substack.com/p/adventures-in-neumusik-and-eurock Hosted on Acast.

Everyone loves a good heist movie that depends on the combination of cold, logical planning and some element going sideways–and Thief is one of the best. Its 1981 release date is seen in every frame and the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream makes for great nostalgic viewing. But the film has real power as a character study of a highly skilled man trying to get something beyond his reach and wants what he cannot steal. James Cann's performance as Frank is one of his best; he even seems to channel his most famous role when he needs Frank to let off steam. Give it a listen and learn how Michael Mann answers the question of whether there is honor among thieves. Want to read more about Michael Mann? Jean-Baptiste Thoret's Michael Mann: A Contemporary Retrospective examines Mann's “contemplative way of filming that combines fascination and melancholy.” Follow us on X and Letterboxd–and let us know what you'd like us to watch!
