Just learned today that 18 of Ozu's films are lost.
Did you know that? @RASIE
Reminds me of the famous lost works of Mozart (Trumpet Conerto), Bach (St. Mark's Passion, etc.). And only 25 percent of Aristotle's work's survived (which is crazy considering his remaining work basically reshaped Western Civilization after the Muslims rediscovered it and gave it to Europe.)
Crazy considering Ozu is much more recent, though. I think a couple of Murnau's films have been lost, too @Elric. And all of Mizoguchi's pre wartime films. Probably a ton of other filmmakers as well
Gonna do some deep dives on this today.
Pam Anderson looks like she’s from a Bergman film
might have to f*** around and see them in Vegas tbh

While we walked through Kingston
listened to It Takes A Nation recently for the first time in a very long time. Forgot what a masterpiece this is.
Went from having one concert this whole year (MJ Lenderman on Valentine's Day) to having a really decent run of shows starting tonight
5/6 - Squid w/ FearDorian
5/20 - Black Country, New Road
5/31 - Billy Woods
8/14 - Horsegirl w/ Godcaster
8/20 - Tennis' farewell tour w/ Alice Phoebe Lou
9/12 - Grandaddy's Sophtware Slump anniversary tour w/ Pedro the Lion
9/17 - Natalia Lafourcade
Might see Oklou and Big Thief in the fall if the tickets are affordable close to showtime. Right now, they're a little crazy.

the prose is fantastic, albeit unusual
honestly sci-fi authors are some of the most lyrical writers
you could check out Ray Bradbury's short stories
Here's a lesser known gem of his, one of my favorites

Anything by Ursula Le Guin. You could start off with her most famous short story (not quite sci-fi even though she was a sci-fi writer - her work often slips beyond genre) It's really short and for some reason I get emotional every time I read the last couple paragraphs.

There are the famous ones like Philip K. D***, Isaac Asimov, etc. One of the benifits of sci-fi is that many of its best writers worked in short fiction, so you can sample their work without committing to a full novel.. I really like Harlen Ellison's stuff. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is his most famous story but he wrote a really great lesser known story called Paladin of The Lost Hour. (I think they made it into a Twilight Zone Episode?)

If you want something more modern, Ted Chiang is phenomenal. Story of Your Life (which the movie Arrival is based on) is a great place to begin, along with the rest of that collection. I think he's won 5 Hugo awards.
