Okay it’s got a lame title but it did motivate me to put my extensive Miles Davis collection back on my iPod after a 12 month hiatus. the problem there after was that now I had too much jazz so I got rid of my Louie Armstrong. trimmed down my Coltrane and pretty much deleted my Charlie Parker. I may add some Monk later to mix things up. What I’ll probably do is keep the live at Fillmore and abstain from adding the rest of the live recordings. So to get back to the original point. Miles Davis is a legend and this book does him justice. Check it out.

Film of the Day
Point Blank is the ultimate revenge movie it’s so good they redid it twice most recently with Mel Gibson’s highly adequate ‘Payback’ and in the seventies Robert Duvall had a shot at it with the highly entertaining ‘The Outfit’. But neither of them come close to the sheer brute violence and focused rage that Lee Marvin brought to the screen. His best mate betrays him and takes his bird! Come on you know Lee Marvin’s not having that. He wrecks terror on all involved and they deservedly feel his wrath. The DVD has a really informative directors commentary as Steve Sodenbergh hangs out with the movie’s director John Boorham and basically lets him know he’s been ripping off this movie for years. It’s a must..

Sometimes writing a blog can prove to be divisive (as it should be) Followers are forthcoming with a myriad of opinions and queries. A lot of the time it’s based around what they see as my contrary taste in music ( and film for that matter) How can you critique Coltrane then go off on a tangent about some gangster rapper You review Kurosawa one week and Bowfinger the next. What gives.. I don’t get your angle.My likes and dislikes vary and they tend to cover quite a few genres and to some that’s hard to digest but for me it’s the norm and with that in mind Lil Boosie‘s ‘Superbad’ is sheer unadulterated entertainment from beginning to end. it comes out of the dirty dirty and rolls equipped with punch lines and bouncy beats. Nothing to dwell on but it sure is a lot of fun. Unfortunately Boosie’s currently in jail for violating his parole. I wonder of Miles Davis would approve..
