Music, Only Faster

It does rather feel like things have turned around a bit, and are perhaps on the upswing. I am cautiously–oh, ever so cautiously!–hopeful. The bodies public and politic seem to be mounting an immune response to fascism, better late than never. One hopes that will also spill over into regulation of the robber barons and predatory corporations afflicting us as well. But let’s not get too crazy, my…

Bobby Hutcherson: Harmonic Alchemist of Jazz

Introduction: In jazz history, several figures emerge not only as brilliant instrumentalists but also as sound innovators who form the genre’s soul. Bobby Hutcherson, born eighty-three years ago today, on January 27, 1941, in Los Angeles, California, is one such luminary whose mastery of the vibraphone and marimba exceeded traditional limits, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of modern…

'Don't Shoot the President' director Niven Wilson on the chaos and repetition at the intersection of horror and comedy

Niven Wilson shot Abraham Lincoln in 1865, James Garfield in 1881, William McKinley in 1901, and John Kennedy in 1963. Or so he claims. His latest animation, Don’t Shoot the President, suggests that he might be in two minds about that. Before it plays at the fifth annual Halloween Horror Showcase on Indy Film Library, he explains the method behind the madness, and the blurred lines between horror…

Elon Musk Seems to Undermine Privacy of Users on X 

How Elon Musk’s X Update May Be a Global Privacy Nightmare, especially for Women or Vulnerable People It seems to me that Elon Musk is shooting himself in the foot by undermining the privacy issues of digital citizens on his X baby. His recent decisions baffle me as they threaten the very fabric of privacy for journalists and pose serious risks for vulnerable individuals like women, the elderly,…

As Gang Violence Rises, N.C. Mayor Targets Legal Gun Owners

As Gang Violence Rises, N.C. Mayor Targets Legal Gun Owners

Beyond the obvious constitutional issues with most gun control laws, there are also real practical problems with attempting to use gun control as a way of addressing violent crime. Durham, North Carolina Mayor Steve Schewel doesn’t seem bothered by either the dubious constitutionality or the pragmatic concerns about gun control, however. As shootings increase in the city, Shewel’s embraced a…

Film Review - One Of These Days (2020)

Film Review - One Of These Days (2020) @StudioSohoDist #joecole @FredaTalkingPix #filmreview

Endurance competitions reek of desperation. Perhaps it’s the memory of the Depression dance marathon at the centre of 1969’s They Shoot Horses Don’t They? with its equally desperate $1,500 prize. More latterly, what was a distressing spectator sport has been replaced by truck touching competitions: the name can vary but the idea remains the same. A group of people stand around a car or truck,…

Writing "Nice Girls Don't" for Groovy Gumshoes

Writing “Nice Girls Don’t” for Groovy Gumshoes

So what if I wasn’t born in the 1960s? I can do research! In 2020, I came across a call for submissions for mystery short stories to be included in an anthology. The anthology was to be called Groovy Gumshoes: Private Eyes in the Psychedelic Sixties. The editor, Michael Bracken, wanted stories set in the 1960s featuring private detectives, with bonus points given if the story included a major…

Hangover to Resentment

I appear to have gone straight from the “book hangover” stage to the “resenting anything keeping me from writing this other book” stage, with very little pause between. I’m not quite upset with this turn of events, as the resentful stage is in many ways the easiest and most satisfying–except for, of course, the resentment itself–but it would help if the book possessing me was actually one I’d…

Richard & Linda Thompson - Classic Music Review - Shoot Out the Lights

Richard & Linda Thompson – Classic Music Review – Shoot Out the Lights

Love me or hate me, but the one thing that is beyond dispute is that my perspectives on music have never been influenced by commercial considerations, a desire for fame or the opinions of Establishment critics.

From a financial perspective, altrockchick.com is one of the worst-performing enterprises in history: after six years, 400 reviews and 1.5 million words, I have earned zero revenue while…

Don’t Shoot the President (2024) – 3.5 stars

"Don’t Shoot the President is a series of horror-comedy sketches, tied together by an intersecting sea of vulgar imagery. Following a crass cast of characters threads into Hell itself, it feels like if Phil Tippet's Mad God, directed by Terry Gilliam."

Director: Niven Wilson Don’t Shoot the President is a series of horror-comedy sketches, tied together by an intersecting sea of fantastically vulgar imagery. Following a cast of crass characters and their apparently disparate threads into Hell itself, it feels like if Phil Tippet’s Mad God, if it had been directed by Terry Gilliam. To some people (probably a great many people) that will sound…

Wednesday, December 1, 2021

Yesterday, about 1 p.m. local time, a fifteen-year-old kid walked into a high school in Oxford, MI, and opened fire with an automatic pistol. He shot 10 of his fellow students and one teacher, killing three kids. Two died at the spot and one died on the way to the hospital. Another kid, a seventeen-year-old boy, died today at the hospital. They were Hana St. Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and…

Show Me

I recently took a mini workshop on film, something I don’t know much about. But it did predictably talk about story arc, which as a reader and writer of fiction I am well acquainted with. And then came the proviso: show, don’t tell. This makes a lot more sense in terms of screen writing than prose. Why say “the red apple sits on the blue tablecloth” when you can just show it. However, this…
