Who’s Been Talking, Howlin’ Wolf (1970) Sometimes mistitled Cause Of It All, Chester Burnett’s recording from the The London Howlin’ Wolf Sessions (Chess 1971) is a classic.

A Never Completed Film: The House at the Last Lantern
The House at the Last Lantern
“Doing some research, I happened to come across a rare cache of stills from a never completed film by Hans Richter [1888-1976] which is possibly the only example of an actual dadaist horror film. It seems the film was a parody of sorts of Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther, but is ostensibly a tale of the life of Gustav Meyrink. The title of the film was to be ‘The House at the Last Lantern’.” – Lanny Quarles
Date of the movie stills unknown, possibly late 1920s. More images with story here.

Saturday Matinee – Salut Salon, Trix ‘O’ Treat & 1000mods
Antonio Vivaldi’s “Sommer” wird zum Schauplatz eines musikalischen Wettkampfs. Salut Salon fechten ihn akrobatisch aus, und mit viel Humor – ein Klassiker des Hamburger Quartetts. Ein Konzertmitschnitt aus dem Film “Salut Salon. Der Film” von Regisseur Ralf Pleger.
“We are Rockabilly & Country & Rock ‘n’ Roll band of Thailand.”
Bangkok’s Trix ‘O’ Treat has a cool mix of retro flavors with a bit of punk thrown in, and Billy Move is now my favorite song so far today. [Nice shirt at 1:09].
“Dude’s bass is lower than my parents’ expectations for me.”
– Youtube comment
Wikipedia describes 1000mods as “a stoner metal band from Chiliomodi, Greece, formed in 2006. [..] The name of the group is a pun linked to the village in which they were formed, as ‘a thousand’ is pronounced ‘chillia’ in Greek.”
Have a great weekend, see you back here tomorrow for no reason at all.
