ARTHUR PRYSOCK - I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT (Verve, 1968)

My god i am just melting in my own personal orgy of pleasure with this song. The swinging spy movie arrangement (oh that insouciant flute fill) and Arthur's knowing baritone singing these preposterous smooth cad lyrics that just get better and better as the song goes on, it's all just too much. By the time he gets to "I'm just a rebel with a rage for living, lot's of things I do ain't allowed", my smile has wrapped around my whole head and i have to start the song again.

Arthur was singing professionally since the second world war and was still having hits in the disco era. You could swear he came out of the womb looking like this...

JOHN SWARTZWELDER CAT FOOD ADS AND SONG AND PILOT

For those not hip to JOHN SWARTZWELDER (see my previous post about him HERE), he is the man who wrote more episodes of The Simpsons in the first 14 seasons than anybody else and has since taken to writing hilarious sci-fi detective comedy novels that he self publishes at a rate of about one year and I just bought the the 3 latest ones direct from the man on ebay (kennydale books) and am stupidly excited about reading them. You should do the same if you like that kind of thing. Anyway, here are some hilarious cat food commercials he wrote in the 70s, and also a song he wrote called "Throw Your Cat Away". And also a pilot Western TV show he wrote in the 90's. 

Enjoy.

RIVER'S EDGE (Tim Hunter, 1986)

This is a strange film. It's almost like a weird dark companion piece to "The Breakfast Club", with a feel that has more in common with "Twin Peaks". It's a "disaffected youth in a small town in america" type thing, where a young guy kills his girlfriend and goes to school and tells his friends about it, and their different reactions are what the movie is all about.

It could have been really corny but I think it's actually a great work of art. The acting ranges from completely over the top wired up ham from a young Crispin Glover to the usual "ddddduuuuuh" underacting of a young Keanu Reeves, but each of them just seems perfect to me. And Dennis Hopper has a great part as the weird older guy in town who everybody scores their pot off. He never leaves his house and brandishes a gun all the time and dances with his sex doll and does all those great things you expect Dennis Hopper to do. In fact, it's quite interesting that this came out in the same year and in fact the same month as "Blue Velvet", with Hopper playing a somewhat similar character and the film having a certain similarity in it's feel. I could probably more accurately describe this as "The Breakfast Club meets Blue Velvet, with a hip thrash metal soundtrack and an ensemble cast of of hot, hot young stars!"

(goodness Ione Skye is just horrifically attractive)

Rooly good.

GLORIA GRAHAME IN "IN A LONELY PLACE"

Gloria is amazing in every way in this film, but her Eyebrow game is just out of this world. You can kinda see it in the pictures, but you really need to see the film to understand how bad she works those eyebrows. Gotta give mad props to Bogart's sock acting in this shot at the top too. He shoulda got an Oscar for best sock reveal of 1950 for that one...
