Music Banter - What Are You Watching Right Now?

After a friend repeatedly recommended the film for years I finally picked up a copy of Conny Plank - The Potential Of Noise. An instant favorite. Also found a playlist of all of the film's featured recordings. I was absolutely floored to learn that Plank produced Freur's debut LP, Doot Doot - one of my all-time favorite records. I have many of Plank's produced works on wax but the film inspired an even greater appreciation and awareness of his unparalleled influence on the kosmische Musik scene.

Highly recommended.

I've seen two other documentary films on the subject - Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany (2009) and the other I believe was Romantic Warriors IV: Krautrock (Part 1) (2019), the latter of which had long stretches of interviews in German with no subtitles but was still worth screening. Parts 2 and 3 are scheduled for release in 2021 and 2022 so I'll stay tuned.

I'll look out for those. Have you seen Kraftwerk and The Electronic Revolution? I really enjoyed that one. Can't find it streaming anywhere right now, though.

I've not seen that one so I'll definitely add it to my list; thank you!

While I understand and appreciate the global influence of Kraftwerk's releases from Autobahn onwards, I personally prefer their more freeform and organic sound of their first three releases, Kraftwerk I, Kraftwerk II, and Ralf und Florian. I made sure to secure copies of that trilogy along with Autobahn for my kosmische Musik library. Love the classics!

Listen To me Marlon (2015, Stevan Riley)
Culled from audio tapes that Marlon Brando recorded over years after he became famous which accompany images from his life this unusual doc is something of a revelation for fans.
Insightful look at a movie star for the curious.

Narcos

Take a skinnier and less funny Burt Reynolds and an out of shape Cary Elwes lookalike and drop those dudes in the middle of the 1980's Columbian drug cartel landscape. Hilarity ensues! lol Some fairly terrible acting alongside of some decent stuff. Wagner Moura does a great frumpy Escobar though, so thats a plus. I'm on season 2 now.

The Contender (2000, Rod Lurie)
Joan Allen vies to be the first female VP of the U.S. after the prior one dies in office. But it seems she has some fishy history that the confirmation hearings may reveal to trip her and Jeff Bridges' (the President) swan song nomination. Seems tame by today's lurid standards but the acting always impressed me. Streamer.

Punisher, Somebody Feed Phil, and F Is For Family were decent series too.

I checked out a bit of Paradise PD, but it's kinda corny.

Edit: The Queens Gambit too! Forgot about that one.
