yeah, back in the game lol

it's worth tracking down the entire version of this, by far the funniest director commentary i've ever heard, and really gets across what a complete fucking character Ferrara is...

I like them too... they're closer to straight sci fi, and again that vibe that he's churning them out to pay the rent, they can't all be gems... I like early PKD genre stuff to like The World Jones Made, they're like elevated b-movies... Hello America was a surprise to me bc it was written...

it's true. like the lyrics for Life On Mars are not very good at all, reading them on paper i feel nothing, but when you hear the song, the overall effect is one of deep deep emotion...

ha thanks! nice one too, re: the eventide harmonizer, i always remember seeing interviews w/ Visconti talk about how he processed tracks on Heros with it, never put 2 and 2 together that it was the same thing used for the pitchstretching type sounds on jungle...
