This is one of the most transcendent moments in the history of Cinema.
and this is one of the most disturbing.
No matter what other questionable drek you may have ended up in later in life, your performance as Frank sealed the deal for me. RIP.
A Very Special Story- Salut les zinzins September 8, 2010En ce moment quand je suis épuisée, (ce qui est assez fréquent puisque j’ai un nouveau travail qui consiste à dire « taisez vous » 100 fois par jour) en rentrant chez moi je regarde des clips RELAX de zinzins potentiels. 1/ … Continuer la lecture → […]admin

- VIVA RADIO-TOO MANY SHOWS TO NAME August 11, 2010Yet another Viva-Radio Pyjamarama show catch-up. Seems like I’ve got 8 more shows, starting with three silly ones where I chose a word and picked all songs with that word in the title, then a bunch more awesome shows. Some of these show up in the Pyjamarama archives, some will stream live again during my usual […]Dan

- Voodoo Idols – S/T E.P. 7″ September 5, 2010First of two excellent 7inches by Voodoo Idols from Tampa/Florida. Second one has the better known We dig Nixon etched into the grooves. Nixon is great but I think Do the Kirk here is one inch(the size of my supermans cock) better. Rough and stomping with a great bass sound, pretty sax and a singer […]Ted Frat

- Untitled August 29, 2010TOUCH AND GO: THE COMPLETE HARDCORE PUNK 'ZINE '79-'83 (547 pages; Bazillion Points/2010)This has been waaay too long in coming. Touch and Go - the fanzine - had already reached mythological status by the time the 1990s rolled into gear. By last year, I figured that the periodical once known as Touch and Go was a myth. In all my years of being […]Dave

- These Cookie Crumbs Are Making Me Itch September 6, 2010For whatever reason, I still have the original Beastie Boys "Cooky Puss" 12-inch that was released on Ratcage (the same label that put out "Victim In Pain"), which I first bought back in the mid-80's. I used to own almost all of the early Beastie Boys stuff back then, which put all together would probably worth about 10 bucks now: […]Brushback

- Caught In My Eye September 4, 2010THE GERMS – Live at The Starwood, Dec. 3, 1980 (Rhino Handmade, 2010) There was always something incredibly severe about the way THE GERMS sounded, playing together. Pat’s guitar, so trebly and screee-producing, took an unholy joy cutting broken shards of riffs into Lorna’s dumpy bass runs and Don’s frequent rhythmic change-ups. Darby’s animalistic howl [...

- Sound from down unda September 8, 2010Here's some New Zealand rap from Christchurch duo Dark Tower. On this 1995 Ep, these guys didn't rap about how hard they were or how many bitches they went through. However like all hip-hop there is an American influence but instead these sons of the south rap about blackberry picking and coming from a rural background. The jam packed kiwi geograph […]Chris

As usual, with you on this one…
Dennis, you were one suave fuck.
I’ll raise a PBR in your memory (if I can find one in London)
RIP
how about ‘out of the blue’ from 78′. another classic. featuring the Pointed Sticks too!
yeah and Mad Dog Morgan!
Tragic news indeed.
Most of his roles were fantastic. Besides his work with David Lynch, among my favorite on-screen moments of Hopper’s was the bit about Sicilians in True Romance.
Perhaps his most over-looked role was as the main character in 1991′s Paris Trout, a film that makes most people very..um..uncomfortable.
(adjusts monacle) Excuse me sir, but “Speed” is not dreck.
@Jenny. Just saw this. How about Waterworld?
Just heard an old interview with Hopper — I think it was Fresh Air. He said that Lynch originally wrote Frank to be sucking on helium. Hopper didn’t like that since helium doesn’t actually fuck you up. That’s a fair point. But imagine this scene if Hopper had had the helium high-pitched voice. Might have made it cross over into the absurd and ridiculous, but might have been even more creepy.
