The Black Flag thing reminds me of several from Freaks and Geeks:

--Daniel 'going punk' and listening to "Rise Above" alone in his room.

--Ken questioning his sexuality, and tests himself by buying a Bowie album (Scary Monsters?) and looking intensely at David's photo while he listens.

--Mr. Weir dissing Neil Peart and then introducing Nick to Jazz drumming.

--Lindsay playing "Squeeze Box" for her parents, and their horror when they realize what the song is about.

--Mr. Rosso loaning Lindsay American Beauty, leading to...

a large tuna called “Justice” (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 28 January 2019 21:03 (five years ago) link

ha, I was always slightly annoyed that Mr. Weir wasn't into something hipper than Buddy Rich (he didn't have anything with Max Roach on it?), but whaddya gonna do. It's still a great scene.

Good stuff in Last Night In SoHo with main character Eloise's Dansette and suitcase of vintage '60s Brit wax, plus landlady Diana Rigg getting her own collection out later on.

Shame then about all of it going up in flames.

Or perhaps it's all CGI.

It's just in the reality of the film, it's sad to see such a sweet set of LPs bite the dust in such a manner (even though you only actually see a Dusty Springfield and the Dansette burning onscreen).

Dusty would have been 83 today

My local PBS affiliate has started showing Inspector Morse again. The first ep involves the possible murder of a woman who used to work at a audiophile turntable company. Morse naturally owns one of the company's decks, and at one point attends a lecture on HI-FI given by her ex-boss, one of the suspects.

five months pass...

lots of records seen/heard being played in fassbinder's work, but delighted to spot this prominently displayed next to the turntable in the penultimate episode of eight hours don't make a day.

Two bits in Tar: The collection of Mahler vinyl on the floor in the opening montage, and a later scene where Lydia and her assistant Francesca talk about getting Deutsche Grammophon to reconsider not giving her upcoming box set a vinyl release.

this is one of the best thread titles. lol
