Listening Post

I'm currently embroiled in yet another battle in my ongoing epic struggle with Time Warner Cable -- incidentally, the worst and most institutionally incompetent cable system in the universe, and I used to work for Time Warner -- so it's going to be sporadic today given that my internet service is out and I'm working off an air-card.

Either way, I'm a big fan of 70s film, so here's Paul Williams's Where Do I Go From Here from Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is one of those movies I hold dear to my heart. It's a criminally overlooked work of art that was both moving and stunningly beautiful to look at, thanks to director Andrew Dominik and some of the best work cinematographer Roger Deakins has ever done.

Adding to the almost ethereally mournful tone of the film was the score, composed by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

I listened to this quite a bit during my drive through the American west to reach California last winter.
