Sleep Never Time Machine: Iggy Pop on the Tom Snyder Show (1980)

Friendly Fires “Kiss of Life”

Listen Ed, I love the band and I dig the direction you’re taking on this track, but please take caution on the dance floor. It’s fine to boogie down or whatever and I’m not saying you’re a bad dancer, but… it’s just a little kooky, the Carnival Cruise director limbo leader groove you’ve got going on.

Honestly, I find some moves are better kept to oneself. I usually reserve my own personal version of that kind of fancy footwork for nights spent alone with a grip of El Debarge and my shadow.

Okay, obviously, you didn’t feel the same way when you freaked your shit all over la playa like that, knowingly let a camera crew commit it to film, and then approved the cut. So twist at it another way.

If you respect yourself, and believe in the power of dance, you don’t just give moves like that away. You’ve got to make them earn it.

Either way, no hard feelings and congrats on a lovely new track.

The Dead Weather “Treat Me Like Your Mother”

Man in the “Moon”

It’s always refreshing to see a kid, bred from the loins of rock royalty, not grow up to be a drug-addled waste of life, or a poor man’s version of their famous parent. I can only imagine how hard it must’ve been for Zowie Bowie to make a name for himself as a man in the glittery shadow of his father.

An easy way to do this would be to change your name from Zowie Bowie to Duncan Jones, while the much more challenging move would be to find your own passion, cultivate your talent and display that talent in an undeniable way.

If it’s nearly impossible to review a movie without spoiling it, that’s a good thing. So I won’t tell you much.

What I will tell you that “Moon” is a simple story that weaves together, brilliantly, very complex themes. That it pays a charming homage to sci-fi greats without being weighed down by nostalgia. That the production design and effects weren’t revolutionary, but sexy enough for me to willingly suspend my disbelief, and that Sam Rockwell is one of the greatest living actors today.

Yeah, I know I’m a little late on this one, but go see it before it leaves the theater.

Thom Yorke “The Present Tense” (Live at the Latitude Festival)

Breezy open.
Tinges of melancholia pay off with a robust black cherry burst of heartbreak.
Finish is smooth without being nostalgic.
Pairs well with long drive along coast on a gun shy gray sky day.
