Hello, I'm raising some money so the family of Tyrone Steels, 24-Carat Black's brilliant drummer and founding member, can afford a proper funeral. Tyrone was a very kind man. His family is grateful to everyone who's donated so far.

what a fantastic idea, and what a fascinating result.

I reached out to Todd Field with questions about the eerily quiet sound design of Tár. Todd called me from holiday in Mexico and we talked for nearly an hour about sound, scoring, his favorite '70s films, and that mysterious scream in Tár. For @InsideHook: insidehook.com/article/movies

Tyrone Steels, the great drummer from '70s funk bands 24-Carat Black and Shotgun, died two weeks ago. He was denied life insurance and his family is struggling to afford funeral expenses. I set up a GoFundMe to help Tyrone's widow, please share widely:

As a hip hop fan I gotta retweet this, check out how many great songs he's been sampled in whosampled.com/The-24-Carat-B

Tyrone's grooves have been sampled by Pusha T, Jay-Z, Nas, Kendrick, and Wale, to name a few. Four years ago, I sat with him in his kitchen and he showed me a check for $60 and 48 cents. That's all he ever got for any of the samples. gofundme.com/f/help-tyrone-

I still get DVDs from Netflix (and have since 2007), but the service lost its utility circa 2020-2022 when Netflix gutted its once-vast DVD library, particularly foreign and independent films. Can we bring back video stores now

Nicolas Cage has waited over 30 years to play Dracula and it's glorious to see him finally achieve that fang-gnashing dream in Renfield. Which is why it's a bummer that pretty much everything else in the movie is uninspired dreck.

Being annoyed by other people is one of the great privileges of being alive. Sometimes I think about the people I love who've died and I'm like damn, sometimes I wish I didn't have to exalt you, sometimes I wish I could simply be irked by you again
