Last night I mentioned this film to someone who had never seen it and was trying to explain just how perfect it is in every way. As for Sam Shepard's script well...
I've lost count how many times I've watched this film but it's being lined up again
Here's Ry Cooder on that amazing score

By any accounting, @NoahShachtman is one of the supreme editors of his generation of American journalism. Very few editors mentor ANYONE anymore. Noah has cultivated an intimidating alumni network of reporters. We would do anything for him because he never gives up on us. pic.twitter.com/ssRzbeKc57

All we need now is for Attackerman to cover the hardcore beat
No YOU spent Bastille Day in a basement studio rehearsing with @attackerman the 23 minute punk rock opera you wrote about the French Revolution... pic.twitter.com/atPq1Bc5yi

This Is A Restricted Mix
So yesterday when I was putting together the The Thème De Yoyo Head mixes I managed to delete the version of High Ideals and Crazy Dreams I included. A day of searching numerous hard drives and a post to the FB On-U Sound page later and eventually I found it. Turns out it was an unreleased 2001 mix by Adrian Sherwood given to someone back then. Anyway this led to a few more finds in the drives to add to the Silly Mix previously posted. This Restricted Mix includes the On-U tape archivist Pats Dokter's remix of High Ideals, a bit of a Mark Stewart 'As The Veener of Democracy Starts To Fade' Megamix entitled 'The Wrong Name & The Wrong Number (This Is A Restricted Mix)' which I'm pretty certain from memory was spliced together by Jethro R Binks (who was responsible for putting together the 'Major Malfuction' version excursion a while back then 'Cowardice Dub' from 'The Lost Tapes' release. This is followed by an unreleased version of High Ideals by the Strange Parcels with Skip MacDonald singing. Bernard Fowler sang one version and a different Skip mix was released in Japan only. The last two tracks are songs which Mark Stewart played as works-in-progress on Steve Barker's On The Wire show in 2010.

Just got to say one thing: FUCK - that new Thom Yorke ('featuring Radiohead') version of Creep is absolutely FUCKING awful. Go to mix2 where I suspect the average age of the tracks would turn out to be what...30 years old and there is SO much more invention at play...'old man music eh?'

Leftfield's Remix & Dub Version
Bob Sargeant R.I.P.
A nice tribute from Rolo McGinty (from The Woodentops):
R.I.P. Bob Sargeant.
Bob produced Giant album that began production in 1985. Bob was a veteran producer already before we met him. He was in the 80’s what they called a hit maker, but he only did a production if he liked it. He was also a lot of fun to be around though meticulous while working, keeping an eye always on time and how much should be achieved within it. Old school hardcore! Bob came to rehearsals always notepad out. We tried different arrangements, tightening up , changing, trying out the what ifs. Bob was the producer of many bands but the Beat was the one for us. Loved them. I was in the studio everyday (Rolo) and it was a big moment for me watching Bob and John Gallen the engineer at work. John is nearest in the photo. They did by hand what you do with computers now. The drop ins and moving live, huge blocks of backing vocals from one tape recorder to another, doubling snares, all kinds of things. Bob played marimbas, some organ, percussion and backing vocals. I cant tell you how much I enjoyed the experience of recording that album.
So with a heavy heart its Goodby Bob and condolences to Babs Sargeant who is hurting right now xx
