Artist Track Album Year Comments Images New Approx. start time
Birdman movie  You Hate Twitter. You Mock Bloggers. You Don't Even Have A Facebook Page! Pt 1   Favoriting   2015  new edit of the remix I did in early 2015 for this show of the excellent late 2014 Alejandro G. Iñárritu directed film "Birdman" (aka "The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance") whose frantic paranoid engery IMO taps into the overriding vibe of this time we are currently in. When the movie first came out and I was instantly drawn to it and inspired to do this mix it was because, as someone who listens as much as watches movies/TV, I was blown away by the dominant drum sounds of the black comedy drama that mocked the Marvel/DC superhero movie trend - so I went thru the two hour film to edit out all the drumming parts and some few standout vocal samples (like the "you mock bloggers, you hate Twitter, you dont even have a Facebook account") and re-edited/mixed them from the film about a former superhero movie star that starred Michael Keaton as the lead character Riggan Thomson with a strong supporting cast that included Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone, and Naomi Watts.

Is this the end of days? Sure feels like it although I hope not. Please share in comments your personal experiences of the past week in this age of coronavirus quarantine..... It has been a challenging trying week for all of us but on top of the whole COVID-19 mess, from earlier this week I have been dealing with my own crazy personal medical issue - the details of which I will go into on next week's show .... I am coming to you from Oakland CA today where I escaped from New York to a week and a half ago - just before leaving I took pic at top of playlist downtown Manhattan by WTC - Today back in NJ studios of WFMU handling board-op/engineering duties once again this week is OLIVIA whose wonderful weekly radio show "Radio Ravioli" can be heard on WFMU Mondays 3:01pm-6pm (following Jim Price's priceless one minute show & preceding Mark Hurst's sixty minute show "Techtonic")
