Nothing brightens the morning like t.a.t.u

Wed. 10/17/07 9:16am From: Ken

Only 112 days until the tATu movie is released. I posted a preview from it on the FMU blog yesterday. It looks quite promising.

Wed. 10/17/07 9:17am From: Gene

Oh, geez... what's next on wfmu? Ruki vverh (translation: hands up)? :)
Whah? there is a movie??

Wed. 10/17/07 9:19am From: john from Oslo

You are getting sleepy. You are getting very sleepy. You are going to your checkbook and sending WFMU a boatload of your money . . .

Wed. 10/17/07 9:24am From: Vicki

Hey John from Oslo, could you drop me a line please - I need to ask you a question - you can contact me through www.wfmu.org/playlists/PL. Thanks! Vicki

Wed. 10/17/07 9:24am From: Trish

Hahaha. A read, live, staged, pre-taped, fictional perfomance.

Wed. 10/17/07 9:32am From: Listener Dave

Can the t.a.t.u movie be works than "You Can't Stop The Music"? Or "Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park"?

Wed. 10/17/07 9:35am From: Listener Dave

Sorry, that's "worse"

Wed. 10/17/07 9:35am From: Ken

Worst music moveis I've seen: Sergeant Peppers, The Doors, A Night In Heaven, Footloose

Wed. 10/17/07 9:35am From: Vivian

Or Xanadu?

Wed. 10/17/07 9:37am From: Vicki

Leave off Xanadu, the soundtrack is fantastic!

Wed. 10/17/07 9:39am From: John from Oslo

Xanadu has that great Olivia Newton John / The Tubes song, n'est pas

Wed. 10/17/07 9:40am From: Sarah

The Phantom of the Paradise:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071994/

Wed. 10/17/07 9:40am From: Parq

Streisand's "Star is Born". And though I know people disagree, I hated Ken Russel's "Tommy."

Wed. 10/17/07 9:40am From: delos

the spice girl movie sucks

Wed. 10/17/07 9:42am From: s808

such pretty music. so 80's sounding...camera obscura...more please of this jangly brit pop.

Wed. 10/17/07 9:43am From: dieuwke (from holland)

i'm getting married in februari, does anybody know a song that we can play at the ceremony?

Wed. 10/17/07 9:45am From: Vivian

Dieuwke, may I suggest 'Night and Day'?

Wed. 10/17/07 9:47am From: mouse

Wedding music: Not Gonna Get Us by t.a.T.u., of course!

Wed. 10/17/07 9:48am From: gene

In 1 year the USD has dropped with 1 Norwegian kroner. So a contribution worth $100 would be $17 less than last year out of a Norwegian pocket. Imagine if this holds up the next 6 years! Boy, will I have a shitload of t-shirts...

Time to move to Canada...

Wed. 10/17/07 9:55am From: dave in vermont

Footloose!?!?!?!
That is a fantastic movie! I just revisited it with my 10 yr old daughter. The film stock, the cinematography, some of the music, Kevin Bacon's hair, John Lithgow's acting. Though the dialogue is not great there is no fat, it is quick and tight like a pulp western. Lori Singer need to eat a sandwich though. I do lament that Sarah Jessica Parker went on to such fame. Don't dis Footloose.

Wed. 10/17/07 9:59am From: MOUSE

Everybody cut, everybody cut.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:01am From: Mouse, again

Worst rock & roll movie: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:03am From: dei xhrist

what about Spice World? It's worth watching for the cameos alone.

dieuwke : I wanted the theme from Phantom of the Opera (tocotta & fugue in D minor I think), but in the mad rush to clean house before the ceremony, it got lost. So instead, bride dei entered to Kronos Quartet's Early Music.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:03am From: Puerto Rico

I liked the De Artsen that was really cool. Keep up the cool jams.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:04am From: Pietro

Song Remains the Same, The Wall, and lest we forget, the Tom Petty movie Bogdanovich just did--like we need 3 hours of that mediocrity? Krikey.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:04am From: Mike Harding

The Spice Girls Movie gets my vote.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:04am From: dave in vermont

"Almost Famous"

Wed. 10/17/07 10:04am From: lee

worst rock films: "purple rain", "rock star"

Wed. 10/17/07 10:05am From: HoofHearted

What about Saving Private Ryan?

Wed. 10/17/07 10:06am From: Vicki

The Spice Girls movie - I have never seen it and it's the worst movie I've never seen.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:06am From: Irwin Chusid

Worst rock movie nomination: "FM"

Wed. 10/17/07 10:07am From: Ken

Wow, Irwin - you're right. FM really is up there. Truly, truly awful. I thought Saving Private Ryan was good, except for the part about World War Two.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:10am From: Wes

My Polish Princess just came into the office, maybe some day I'll get up the nerve to ask her out....

Wed. 10/17/07 10:11am From: dave in vermont

I could maybe go with "Purple Rain"-Great music terrible move. But "FM"? that inspired "WKRP" and has one of the great covers for dead air of all time.."...a track from the best of Marcel Marceau"

Wed. 10/17/07 10:19am From: dieuwke

just listened to the kronos quartet, it's nice but i'm looking for happy music. thanks for the suggestion.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:20am From: Mike Harding

Lets have a minute's noise for Marcel Marceau! In Memoriam...

Wed. 10/17/07 10:21am From: Vivian

Moulin Rouge needs to be added to the worst movie list. Sheer torture. I sat through it only because someone I had a crush on thought it was the best movie. Argh!

Wed. 10/17/07 10:24am From: Poj

Worst Rock and Roll movie? The Apple.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:25am From: BillyJam

worst rock related movie I have seen would be Gus Van Sant's "Last Days" about Kurt Cobain - which was so torturous to watch that by the end of it I was ready to blow my own brains out! Meanwhile the best remains Spinal Tap

Wed. 10/17/07 10:26am From: dave in vermont

my co-worker who is also not supposed to be listening to music at work agrees with Vivian re: Moulin Rouge, though I disagree for reasons to visceral to express.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:29am From: Michael

Irwin is right about FM. I've been watching a lot of rock doumentaries lately and I gotta say there's a whole bunch of bad rock docs too - many without any context or even a reason to be made for that matter. One of the worst I saw was something they used to play on Channel 13 eons ago "Music from Big Sur" I think it was called. Ugh.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:34am From: John from Oslo

"Detroit Rock City" is terrible AND co produced by Gene Simmons from Kiss, funny though since the whole plot is about some Kiss-fans trying to get into a Kiss concert (sic)

Wed. 10/17/07 10:34am From: pat

The best: Head

Wed. 10/17/07 10:40am From: dei xhrist

definately, Head is great. Even if you're sober. And in the "best" direction, allow me to add An American Astronaut. It's not about rock, but it is a movie length music video so it almost counts. Plus it would pair quite well with Head as a double feature.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:42am From: Ann Arbor Doug

What did you think of "Dig?"

Wed. 10/17/07 10:47am From: Vivian

I don't know about 'Dig' but I'm digging this set...

Wed. 10/17/07 10:47am From: Michael

I saw Dig - it was interesting. Around the same time I watched "Mayor of Sunset Strip" about Rodney Bingenheimer and I'd recommend that as well.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:49am From: Gazoo

Also on the good side, although it was just videos, Urgh! A Music War is really cool.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:51am From: Listener David in Budd Lake

I have to agree, Detroit Rock City was pretty awful!

Wed. 10/17/07 10:56am From: Listener Sharon

You're Gonna Miss Me, the Roky Erickson doc is a great, great film that put me in 13th Floor Elevators mode for weeks. Definitely recommend it.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:56am From: HotRod

Wow. I haven't heard any Scamp titles in a while. Nice.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:57am From: dave in vermont

can anyone else chime in on the atrocity of "Almost Famous" and the mischarecterization of Lester Bangs please?

Wed. 10/17/07 10:59am From: dei xhrist

Life's too short to seek out popular movies that other FMU listers have dissed.

Wed. 10/17/07 10:59am From: Bad Ronald

Yes, almost as bad as "Sid and Nancy"

Wed. 10/17/07 11:01am From: Parq

I liked Urrgh too, and also the Daniel Johnston and Danielson Familie docums.

Wed. 10/17/07 11:01am From: Ken

I actually thought that Almost Famous had a few redeeming things about it, including Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Bangs. And then there was the great Peter Frampton poker scene.

Wed. 10/17/07 11:01am From: dei

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:02am From: Listener Sharon

Oh come on, tell me you didn't love it when the white limo took Sid to heaven...

Wed. 10/17/07 11:06am From: dave in vermont

In fact; "Almost Famous" may be my only Phillip Seymout Hoffman disappointment.

Wed. 10/17/07 11:08am From: monkey

Resurrecting the pope....sexy!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:09am From: Listener Sharon

Gotta love a pope who sounds like Bela Lugosi! In fact it gives you a whole different way to think about his "resurrection."

Wed. 10/17/07 11:11am From: Ken

But Dave - Think about how much worse it could've been if they had picked someone other than Hoffman to play Bangs. It could've been like Hayden Christenson playing a buff and chiseled Bob Dylan in Factory Girl.

Wed. 10/17/07 11:12am From: Listener Sharon

Another reason not to see Factory Girl!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:16am From: -max-

Best rock movie: 200 MOTELS!!!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:18am From: Ken

Actually, Sienna Miller was a good Edie in Factory Girl, but almost everything else in the film stunk. Although I've heard that the director's cut is way improved.

Wed. 10/17/07 11:23am From: Shaun of the Meds

That Pope in the Fire picture is very convincing. I believe!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:26am From: john from Oslo

OH NO - Wohin ist mein Wurst gegangen. My sausage has gone AGAIN!!!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:28am From: fach001

die wurst, demnaechst als Hit auf der Soester Kirmes!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:28am From: dei

Hier bist seine Wurst... (naughty innuendos weren't covered in high school german). Now I habe durst for german rap.

Wed. 10/17/07 11:38am From: Bad Ronald

King Missile Rules!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:42am From: bpab

Jiffy Pope, Jiffy Pope -- the magic sight!
When the faithwood gets wet, he's damn hard to light!

Wed. 10/17/07 11:49am From: pat

Andy Moore rules. one of the most distinctive guitar sounds around now.

Wed. 10/17/07 11:52am From: pat

actually it's Andy MOOR --> http://www.myspace.com/andymoortheex

Sun. 10/21/07 9:24am From: Bryan B

Ken - I've been an FMU listener since the late 60's and your show is one of the best but the Pope on fire - WTF? Would you put up something like that with the head Rabbi of whatever or perhaps a recognizable Mullah? Just some trival hipster nonsense...

Wed. 10/24/07 5:44am From: James

Is this last comment a complicated multi-layered self parody joke? I mean has FMU really been on air since the 60s? I can't believe it.

Wed. 10/24/07 5:51am From: Ken

Bryan - The answer is Yes - if any particular religious leader claims that their (dead) leader has been manifested in a taco or a fire, I will report it. My promise to you. The Pope in the Fire was reported by none other than the Vatican News Service.

Wed. 10/31/07 11:08am From: James

but.... it's not the pope on fire..... it's not a burning pope..... errr it's not an ignited pope..... it's the appearance of the pope as fire. in much the same way as jesus appears in clouds and such like.
