Watched "Köln 75"[2025], German movie based on true story about a young promoter and her organisation of the best selling piano album of all time by Keith Jarrett. None of his music is featured but tons of CAN, which was nice! A decent music movie in a field not exactly full of great ones.
Köln 75 is a 2025 German music-drama film directed by Ido Fluk. The film follows the true story of Vera Brandes, teenage patron of the 1970s Cologne (German: Köln) music scene, as she makes plans to organize a Keith Jarrett concert in Cologne, which eventually became his album The Köln Concert

Judging by the amount of times I listened to the 1975 box set, I think I'll pass on this 1976 set. I hope there'll be a 2-disc compilation with the best cuts that aren't on Hard Rain.

Hablé con un alemán esta noche en Barcelona, en inglés, y verlo luchar por encontrar las palabras me resultó muy familiar. Más que nada, es falta de práctica.

Little discussed fact of solo foreign travel for men is the mountain of offers you get for strip clubs by a dude brandishing a business card with the address. Dude, I can look at a beautiful naked woman on my phone within 10 seconds. I'm OK.

Entrada conseguida para el Valencia-Barça el domingo de la semana que viene. Va a ser el sexto estadio que visito en España, después del Bernabéu, Camp Nou, La Rosaleda, el Sánchez-Pizjuan y el Metropolitano. Qué fácil hacen comprar entradas allí. Tengo ganas.🇪🇸

A note from Dolly Parton to Eminem in 2022.
Screenshot of a tweet from @Eminem dated 25 August 2026. His text reads: "I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words." Below that, he has included an image of a note signed by (or on a stationery of, or electronic stationery of) Dolly Parton. Her note reads:


Marshall (Eminem),

Congratulations on your induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Your performance was amazing and everybody said so. Even though I don’t know a lot about rap music, I’ve come to know that you are the very best at it. Aside from that I hope what I have to say will not seem weird or strange to you but I have always felt some unexplained connection to you like I know you somehow. I had hoped to meet you at the show but you know how nuts those things are, personally I hate ’em and I missed my chance but maybe someday we’ll meet. In the meantime, keep doing what you’re doing because you do it so well and no matter how complex your world may be just know you are very special and touch people in ways you don’t even know.

With love & respect,
Dolly Parton

Vi "La teta y la luna"[1994], ya no se hacen películas así. Pelí del llegar a la mayora de edad pero con un joven al que le gusta la leche..la leche de pechos. Prefiero "Jamón Jamón " del mismo director pero vale la pena ver una curiosidad come esto.

There was a time when the Bond franchise was the only one under the culture war microscope (007 is a racist sexist dinosaur etc) so good to see The Odyssey sharing some the burden. Its it's own strange compliment that means your movie actually matters.

Argentina started like Paraguay, very fearful, just looking to disrupt England. England get their deserved goal then decide to dog it out like they did against Mexico. You can't be hanging on like that against Argentina.

Watched "See The Sea"[1997], very early work of François Ozon and as disturbing as everyone says. A young mother takes a vagabond under her wing despite some huge red flags and the sense of dread about what the psycopath drifter will do with her is palpable throughout. Excellent.

Vi "La novia ensangrentada"[1972] horror culto de España, basado en un cuento de Le Fanu. La belleza vampiresca de Maribel Martín y Alexandra Bastedo es increíble y los hombres de su vida, bueno digamos, que se merecen unas cuantas mordidas y puñaladas.

Watched "The Balconettes"[2024], a very topical start, setting the scene of a sweltering heat settled over France. Marseille isn't spared and so begins the comedy horror as three friends (including writer director Noémie Merlant) set to work dismembering the body they just discovered. Hot & messy.
The Balconettes (French: Les Femmes au balcon) is a 2024 French comedy horror film directed by, co-written by, and starring Noémie Merlant.Opening credits of Balconettes: "A heat dome is settling over France"
