#27: "Mayonaise" - Smashing Pumpkins
Why is this song called Mayonaise? The world may never know. But it remains my favorite Pumpkins song along with their poppiest hit "1979." Though I could do a whole write-up on great B-sides too!
#26: Permanent Record (1988) (dir. Marisa Silver)
CW: Suicide. A lot of personal thoughts emerge either with this film or the inevitable write-up for Allan Moyle's Pump Up The Volume. One is definitely "better" but both hit me hard.
#25: "Sappy" - Nirvana
A hidden track that became an all-time favorite of mine - I would go so far as to say it is the best song they ever released. Features my cover of the song at the end!
#24: Confessions of a Sociopath (2002) (dir. Joe Gibbons)
Here's an unconventional approach to writing about an unconventional film.
Music is my savior.
I love writing about movies obviously, but let's take a quick detour to let you know about my latest record / project that should be out very soon! First two tracks are up!
New Movie Reviews (05.30.23)
Reviews of new films such as Influencer, You Hurt My Feelings, Hypnotic... along with a couple of titles from this year's Chicago Critics Film Festival! Also, one is my favorite of 2023 so far
#23: "Untitled #3 (Rhubarb)" - Aphex Twin
A song without words can be even more powerful and of course, hard to put into words as to why it resonates so strongly with me but let's give it a try!
