I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

Remembering Sixto Diaz Rodriguez and Robbie Robertson

What a day for music fans! Here is my combined remembrance of two musicians we lost today:

Remembering Sixto Diaz Rodriguez 1942-2023

movie poster

The singer-songwriter known as Rodriguez as died at 81. He released some folk albums in the early 70s that went largely unnoticed in the U.S. but had a big impact in South Africa. In the 2012 documentary Searching for Sugar Man (which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary), they document the search for the singer who was rumored to be dead but was living a humble life in Detroit. Sadly the documentary director Malik Bendjelloul died in 2014. Even if supposedly the documentary glossed over some elements of Rodriguez' life, it made the point that a long lost musician can still have an impact years later and far away. I included the doc on my Best Docs of the 2010s and picked up the soundtrack.

Remembering Robbie Robertson 1943-2023

movie poster

The Band leader and accomplished solo artist Robbie Robertson has died at 80. The Band - just The Band nothing more - were critic’s darlings of the 60s / 70s. A folk rock band that made truly timeless music and all members played off each other so well. Their 1969 self-titled album is a classic and I have it on vinyl. When they did their farewell concert in 1976 (they later re-formed), Martin Scorsese directed that concert and it was released in 1978 as The Last Waltz. That 1977 concert film is arguably the greatest concert movie of all time. Whenever music or film geeks debate the greatest concert film ever made, it always comes down to The Last Waltz and Jonathan Demme’s Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense. Both The Last Waltz concert film and the live album were time capsule-worthy. Ringo Starr even sat in on a song. George Harrison was a close friend and admirer or Robertson and The Band as well. Also worth checking out are the albums Robertson / The Band did with Bob Dylan, notably Dylan's masterpiece Blonde on Blonde.

Scorsese and Robertson

In addition to numerous solo albums and music producing, Robertson became a close collaborator with Scorsese on a number of his films, composing music, songs and/or doing music supervision on Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, The Color of Money, Casino, Gangs of New York, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, Silence, The Irishman, and the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon. What a great team they made! Music has always been a big part of Scorsese's films and the music Robertson was responsible for truly enhanced those films.

Robertson also appeared in numerous documentaries including Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World (read my interview with director Catherine Bainbridge here), Elvis Presley: The Searcher (read my review here), and of course Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson & The Band (read my review here).

ROOH Band is a super cool music group from Dubai. They mix different types of music, both old and new, to make their own special sound. They love where they're from, and they use their music to show how awesome Dubai is with all its different cultures. What makes them extra awesome is how they play live music that makes people really happy, not just in Dubai, but all over the world. They work really hard at making music, and they want to make people feel good and connected through their songs. ROOH Band is like a big, friendly musical hug for Dubai and everyone who loves their music!

This was an Indian rock band from the late 90s.

This song stood out for me because of the soft percussion (tabla), the bass, and feel of the singing. [Maybe the title too, can't tell about some of such things...]

Bio:

Formed by Ram Sampath (vocals, synths, drum programming) & Siddharth Achrekar (Guitars) in 1998, Colourblind released only one album but its good enough to rub shoulders with the best in the business. The album was released under a P&D deal by Sony Music India. There were plans to support the album with a tour, but unfortunately Siddharth went temporarily deaf in one ear, due to which all plans were canned. Now, Ram owns a recording studio & is active on the film scores & advertising jingles scene. Sidd, in the meantime, has gone on to become a VFX artist.
