This is a Spotify playlist archiving all the music I’ve posted on this blog since November 2019 & every time I add a song to this page, it goes to the top of the playlist.
Juhani Linnovaara (1934-2022) — Surprise [oil on canvas, 1984-1987]
A long forgotten illegal strip club in the mountains in a small 1970s Japanese resort town.
Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki, 1966) X “Never Catch Me” (Flying Lotus feat. Kendrick Lamar, 2014)
An absolutely bonkers and deliciously colorful yakuza film by Seijun Suzuki, matches with the energy of this blistering track by a stacked lineup of Flying Lotus, Kendrick Lamar & Thundercat. Japanese auteur Seijun Suzuki’s movies are pulpy & delirious, packed to the absolute gills with style, charm, artistry, music & humor.

Dark Star (John Carpenter, 1974) X "Boris" (The Melvins, 1991)
This low budget D.I.Y. sci-fi classic started as a USC film school project and launched the careers of John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) and Dan O'Bannon (writer of Alien). Its slow, deliberate pacing pairs well with this sludgy epic by the Melvins, which is possibly my favorite doom/stoner metal jam of all time AND the namesake for the Japanese metal group, Boris.
