Yabbut. James Franco.

I thought about the head knocking thing too. Apparently, that was added into the film:

Quote:
Boyle shot 127 Hours at the exact spot where Ralston had the accident but added some fictional scenes, such as when he splashes in a secret pool with the women he meets before the accident (the reality – helping them with a few basic climbs – was much more prosaic). Ralston was uncomfortable with these at first but belatedly understood that such changes enabled the audience to "experience it in a truthful way" and did not undermine the "authenticity" promised by Boyle. "The movie is so factually accurate it is as close to a documentary as you can get and still be a drama," he says. "I think it's the best film ever made." He has watched it eight times and cried every time.

In this video of "The Legendary Showdown" --Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dave Weckl, at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert 1989, Los Angeles, I have skipped ahead to the part where Vinnie starts using one hand at a time, lol.



Vinnie, may people agree, is the sickest (in the way the kids mean this) drummer out there, to this day. Somewhere I may have posted the story where Frank Zappa hands him a brand-new stack of "impossible" drum charts, and Vinnie immediately nails them. Sight-reading, while alternately using his "free" hands to eat a plate of sushi, flip pages, and push his glasses up his nose. Everyone in the room (I think Zappa, Steve Vai, and maybe Bozzio) were simply disgusted. He is, like, too good to be human.

Sometimes I like some primitive visceral thumping as well. Note Jimhelm at the mic. Them Crooked Vultures.

You're in good company, Dana--Temporary Blues is Minifobette's favorite song on that album.

Good stuff Dana!
We drove Lil'Griff up to Hamilton College today for a Junior Visit which gave us time to listen to the whole Alabama Shakes album. Fine piece of work.



Note grin on bass player.

Been on my mind a lot lately. Proceed at your own risk.

Can a musician or someone like that explain to me why chorus of this song sounds a lot like the chorus of the Smithereens' Behind the Wall of Sleep?
