Huge movie and music nut. Classical music and Sinatra feeds my soul. Brian Wilson, Stones, Elvis, Dylan, Fleetwood Mac and Louis and Ella are my obsessions. David Lynch is my God and Robert Altman is my dad.

Now spinning, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Buhaina's Delight (1963). This is easily the best album in this Blakey box set I’m currently listening to.

It’s 3:30am west coast time, a couple cocktails in. Now rewatching, Farewell My Lovely (1975). A fantastic neo noir gem with a perfectly cast and insanely cool, Robert Mitchum.

Now rewatching, The Hospital (1971). A brilliant and deeply underrated film with my favorite George C Scott role and performance. He’s never looked better.

Once I got home last night after my trip, I had to unwind and watch the unofficial sequel to Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), by the great, Russ Meyer. One of the most quotable movies ever made. Such a good time movie.

I can’t believe it has taken me this long to finally watch this camp classic. My mom recommended we watch it together. Valley of the Dolls (1967). Oh we laughed our asses off, but also we were totally glued.

Well my vacation has sadly ended. I rewatched a bunch of films with my mom. I will randomly post them here. The last one we watched together was, Dog Day Afternoon (1975). I can’t add much to this masterpiece, other than my Mom really loved it.

I feel like rewatching a great classic. How about, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)? I haven’t watched this in a very long while.

Now rewatching, The Stunt Man (1980). Directed by the interesting Richard Rush and staring the brilliant Peter O'Toole. Lets see if this wacky film holds up.

Now watching, Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026). This far from a Mummy movie so far, and more of an exorcism movie.

I rewatched the Coen brothers last film as a duo, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018). It's a pretty decent way to end their partnership. A little uneven but still very entertaining. 3.5/5

It’s the night before Labor Day, it’s still officially summer, and I have not watched this train wreck of a movie in decades, sure why not, Jaws The Revenge (1987).

Now watching for the first time, The cult classic British tv series, The Prisoner (1967). I’m two episodes in and I’m really digging it.

Now spinning, Frank Sinatra's A Man Alone: The Words and Music of McKuen (1969). This is an album filled with pathos, beauty and insight, and Frankie, like always, sings with total conviction, but it's also a bit silly and dated. Totally worth listening.

Now watching on, Svengoolie- They Came from Beyond Space (1967).

Pedro Jimenez @pedropeterperico.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Now spinning, Frank Sinatra - September of My Years (1965). This is an album that I can totally relate to. Recorded right as Frankie was turning 50. A beautiful concept album of ageing, self-reflection and nostalgia.

Let’s start the three day Labor Day weekend right. Now spinning, Frank Sinatra- The Concert Sinatra (1963). There is nothing better than a Nelson Riddle/ Frank Sinatra album.

Pedro Jimenez @pedropeterperico.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Now spinning the greatest pop/rock/jazz/soul album ever, Steely Dan - Aja (1977). An album that is sophisticated, cerebral and clever, yet also very warm. That’s the genius of Dan.

Now rewatching the last theatrical movie of the Coen brothers, Hail, Caesar! (2016). A wonderful love letter to classic Hollywood. Filled with a tremendous cast that are all on top of their game, especially, Brolin, who is perfect here. What an amazing run of movies by the boys. 4.5/5

Summer of popcorn doesn’t end until Labor Day, so now rewatching, Fate of The Furious (2017). Why do I love these stupid movies so much? Well because they are fun as hell.

Now rewatching, The Street Fighter (1974). I haven’t seen this over 20 years. I felt like watching some fun trash. This is one ultra violent movie! Bloody as hell!

I just rewatched, The Nightcomers (1972), with the great Marlon Brando. Wow this movie is wild. A sexy prequel to, Turn of the Screw. Made right before, The Godfather. Brando is brilliant but weird, and he has a ridiculous Irish accent. Costarring a very sexy, Stephanie Beacham.

Now spinning my favorite Bob Dylan album ever, Blood on the Tracks (1975). Released the year I was born. It’s crazy to think that Dylan’s 13th studio album would be his greatest work ever. Yet here we are.

Now spinning my favorite concept album ever, Frank Sinatra- Watertown (1970). This heartbreaking album about divorce always makes me cry. It’s a bittersweet masterpiece.

Now rewatching the Coen brothers - Inside Llewyn Davis (2015). As a huge Bob Dylan fan this movie hit the right spot. I love everything about this time and era. Very evocative. It’s got so much great music and atmosphere. It’s crazy how many masterpieces the Coen’s have. This a huge 5/5 for me.

NW- Let's Spend the Night Together (1982). The great Hal Ashby directed this fascinating concert film. Filmed right at the moment the Stones started looking older, except for Keef, who still looks cool as fuck. Mick is wearing bright white football-style tights with knee pads. Sure why not.

Now spinning, Rolling Stones- Metamorphosis (1975). A weird but wonderful compilation of non album songs. Weirdly enough this was both my introduction to a Stones album, and the spark that led to my obsession with them. I found this in my dad’s collection when I was kid and became obsessed with it.

Pedro Jimenez @pedropeterperico.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Now spinning, The Rolling Stones- Blue & Lonesome (2016). Their only all covers studio album. Jesus, this record is great. This a full on blues album. Very fitting. Top tier groove. 5/5

Pedro Jimenez @pedropeterperico.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Now spinning, The Rolling Stones - Sill Life (1981). A live album that sold really well but was trashed by almost every critic. You know what? Fuck them and the horse they rode in on. This is a perfectly fine live album.

Pedro Jimenez @pedropeterperico.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Now rewatching, the Coen brothers' biggest hit, by a wide margin, True Grit (2010). This was a big moneymaker, and it's no wonder, because it's phenomenal, another masterpiece, and it's a remake of a John Wayne film, oh and it was rated PG-13. More people got to see it. Bridges is perfect. 5/5

Now spinning, The Rolling Stones- Love You Live (1977). A fun live record. Not great but still a fun time. This is the greatest rock and roll band of all time.

Now rewatching, Zabriskie Point (1970), by the great, Michelangelo Antonioni. A glorious mess. The movie is terrible yet great as well. It's beautiful looking, it's got great design, great music, great title credits font, great looking people. A very hip film, but it's also very dated. 4/5

Now rewatching, Burn After Reading (2008). After Fargo, Coen’s did Lebowski, confounding many, because we all wanted another Fargo. So what did the Coen’s do after, No Country? They gave us another silly comedy. But just like Lebowski, it’s actually great. Better with each new viewing. 4/5
