Better Than Friday - 246 (Patreon)

Good evvvening everyone, wishing you a nice weekend.

Finishing up a review of William Gibson's classic 'Neuromancer' (Paid Link)

One of the first reviews I ever did (poorly haha). It was nice to return to it.

I still don't understand the plot.

That'll be coming your way this weekend.

Thank you so much for your continued support.

1. Book to read: The Unfortunate Traveler and Other Works by Thomas Nashe (Paid Link)

Tales from an eccentric peer of Shakespeare, and a favorite of William S. Burroughs.

Speaking of...

2. 'Mr. Burroughs, do you regret anything in your life?'

What a question to pose him.

3. Downtown 81

Shocked I haven't posted this already.

Downtown 81 is a film starring Jean-Michel Basquiat featuring a cast composed of the hip denizens of the Lower East Side at the time, including Debbie Harry, John Lurie, various New and No-Wave bands, Tuxedomoon, DNA, James Chance...

A real moment in time. Outstanding soundtrack.

The original sound recordings were lost and Basquiat passed away before the film's release, so the audio of Basquiat's voice is actually Saul Williams.

I once saw it in the theater, fantastic, I recommend it if you have the chance.

4. Not usually a Dub guy but this is marvelous

Killer track from Linval Thompson.

5. Carl Jung on his Relationship with Sigmund Freud

"Long and penetrating conversations" with Freud.

Indeed.
