Do They Know It's Halloween?

posted October 31, 2019 #

Year after year, I find myself revisiting these Halloween classics to really get me in the mood. For whatever reason, these bits never grow old to me: I also cruised the yewknee archives looking for goods and there's just... so much. Have a great Halloween!

Pod Goals: My Fantasy Funeral Uses Death To Explore People’s Lives

posted October 31, 2019 #

Really happy about this Nashville Scene article, Pod Goals: My Fantasy Funeral Uses Death to Explore People’s Lives, in which Amanda Haggard interviews My Fantasy Funeral host Ryan Breegle. Love this bit:
Part of what makes the interviews work so well is Breegle’s calm and enchanting demeanor - his voice alone is disarming, the kind of voice that might encourage a person to open up about a subject they might not otherwise be comfortable chatting about. There’s nothing demented or creepy about the way Breegle presents the subject matter. He’s also deferential to his subjects, never overtaking the podcast with his own voice.
That's a dead on bit of insight about the show. Ryan does a load of research before sitting down with a guest and approaches each one with a calm, informed, manner. It's great.

The latest episode, and season one finale, is with TN Democratic Party Chair Mary Mancini; an individual who has a wonderful history with the city of Nashville. Give it a listen and, of course, Subscribe.

Filmography Club: Magnolia

posted October 29, 2019 #

Filmography Club continues to explore the works of Paul Thomas Anderson and the latest episode finds Magnolia as the topic at hand. Host Jason Caviness is joined by writer, director and DEFY Film Festival co-founder Dycee Wildman to discuss the work. They dive into some of the film's inspirations, the role of ego in filmmaking and PTA's uncanny ability to cast the perfect ensemble.
Magnolia is my favorite of all of the PTA movies. It's probably unwise to pick a favorite since they span such a wide range of styles and stories but this one struck me at just the right time in life. It's great to hear Jason and Dycee chat about the film from beyond a plot synopsis standpoint and serves as an excellent reminder that I'm overdue for a rewatch.

Scream, Queen! My Nightmare On Elm Street

posted October 29, 2019 #

Until this year, I had never seen a Nightmare on Elm Street movie. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies and thanks to a somewhat traumatic memory of seeing a literal bloodbath scene from the original film while dining inside of a Mr. Gatti's Pizza, I always kept my distance. But I'm 40 now, so I figured I can handle it.

To be honest, I was mostly interested in watching the second film in the series because I had heard that it was a subversive take on the hardships of homosexuality. If a Freddy movie could be a social commentary, I was intrigued.

The documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street documents that notion very literally. Lead actor Mark Patton (Jesse) had his career tank after the movie and there's plenty of lingering animosity towards the writer and director because of it. Was the homophobic world of 1985 to blame or was it an intentional setup? Has the film flourished into a cult classic because of intentional undertones or accidental ones?

It's a pretty fascinating juxtaposition worth exploring and I hope Patton finds some resolution; some 30 years later.

Children Of The Night

posted October 29, 2019 #

I recently put together an episode of the WOTT Music podcast that serves as a Halloween mix of music from Nashville area bands. In doing so, I stumbled upon The Children of the Night, an instrumental EP of absolutely perfect Halloween songs that has almost zero background information to go along with it.
I'd love to tell you more about the creator or the impetus behind the songs but none of that is available. I did some Internet sleuthing but my best guess - Daniel Medley - is a bit of a long shot.

Regardless of who created it I do suggest giving it a listen. It's sparse at times and does a great job at taking its time in setting a mood but it never retreats so far that you lose track of it. It's appropriately creepy but also uses plenty of acoustic instruments - xylophone, strings, general ambience - to give it a classic feel. I'm sad there's only one volume of it because I'm wearing it out.

It is on Spotify but good luck finding it via search, since the name conflicts with multiple other artists. It's that kind of mystery and effort that makes it so much more enjoyable.
