"The opening, expletive-ridden banter is Tarantino-esque in its enterprise in inventing ever more ingenious compounds of genital-referencing abuse . . . there’s much to commend in this sharply accurate portrayal of modern family dysfunctionality that refreshingly steer." -- Paul Teasdale/Camden New Journal
Without a doubt, music directly feeds/inspires & fuels my writing in the same way a Big Mac & vanilla shake does: fuelling the ole tummy tank and hitting the spot just right some times. My headphones I feel are often like an extension of my soul in some way; certain songs sometimes single-handedly helping me solve problems in plays, visualize endings in screenplays, or capture the overall emotional effect I'm trying to nail down in a story. So in the same vein of the film corner, below is an homage to just a few of the many many musicians who have helped pave my artistic, yellow-brick-road-way...
J B Lenoir & Freddy Below - Live 1965
So, you know those kind of songs that just give ya that ole, inspired, I-wanna-live-and-this-mo'fo-is-making-me-feel-freaking GREAT kind of feelings? This one's the jam. I assure you, it's worth it. I'm assured of this.
The Highlife Movement
