My 33 1/3 book is out today. It's the first book ever written about the legendary funk group 24-Carat Black and how they became one of the most sampled groups in hip-hop. Hope you find it interesting. bookshop.org/books/24-carat

Help Tyrone Steels' Family Afford a Funeral, organized by Zach Schonfeld

19h

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.

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

Not really? I tried it a few times, felt creeped out and anxious, and stopped using it. This was also my experience with marijuana btw.

Due to "unfavorable economic headwinds" I am sadly looking for new editing work. Hoping to find something part-time and ongoing, but also open to temporary/project-based. Also if you've always wanted me to write for you, now's the time to say hi // emfriedlander @ gmail

I watched The French Connection after this interview and Todd Field is correct, the sound design in that film is incredible.

Come for the extensive insight into Tár, stay for the anecdotes about hanging out and watching The French Connection with Paul Thomas Anderson

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

Beau Is Afraid seems so absurdly catered to my interests that I'm genuinely a little frightened of it.

ME: I'm committed to reducing and managing anxiety in healthy ways. FILM CRITICS: Beau Is Afraid is the most anxiety-inducing film of the century. MY BRAIN: I wish to see this movie immediately.

. I really think Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams have one of the most rewarding director/actor collaborations of the modern era.

Kelly Reichardt's new sharply-woven drama, 'Showing Up,' pairs the director once again with her brilliant muse Michelle Williams.

Truly Batshit: The Secret History of ‘Vampire’s Kiss,’ the Craziest Nicolas Cage Movie of All Time

Apr 15

Anyway, there's a great vampire movie starring Nicolas Cage and it's not Renfield...

theringer.com

Thirty years ago, it was a flop. Now it’s clearly the blueprint for Cage’s career of wild and absurd performances. From dead bodies to mechanical bats, this is the inside story of a bizarre cult...

In 1996, Cage said, "Dracula is one of my favorite characters in literature. Much of my lifestyle is modeled after him. I don’t drink blood, but otherwise..."

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.

"I've spent many hours working with M3GAN, and I can already tell having access to it is going to make me a better global editor-in-chief for Insider."

Judd Hirsch should be allowed to play Michelle Williams' dad and/or kooky uncle in every movie going forward.

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
