  1. I'm sure this thread's about to be locked in 3, 2, 1 (or 1-2-8)...

     

    But just wondering about the Dicky anti-vax theory, is that true? I recently read this interview, where he talks about togetherness through live music:

     

    https://digboston.com/the-dig-interviews-dicky-barrett/

     

    This passage doesn't sound like most Covid truther stuff I've seen, more that if they can't play like they always have, and in unsafe circumstances, it's not worth it to him, which is quite different:

     

    "Now having said all that, I think there’s going to be a time when people are ready to get back into venues and to see live music the way we’ve always known it to be and what we fell in love with. I think people are probably going to take chances and they’re willing to risk their life, but I’m not sure if it’s going to be for us, so time will tell."

    Sounds more like someone's running on pure emotion.

     

    I also find fault with the whole "grooming" complaint. Are we not supposed to be friendly to people anymore? Is every transaction supposed to go from stranger to sex with no getting to know someone?

     

    Also, she was 21. She's a grown woman. At what point are we responsible for our own actions and decisions?

     

    As for the going for a second round while she's asleep... if that's true that's absolutely disgusting. But none of us were there, so there really is no way for any of us to know for sure unless someone openly admits to it. It would be wrong for us to make assumptions either direction.

     

    People go multiple rounds of sex in one night all the time and it's not malicious. There's too much grey area in this story. Is Ray a creep? Probably.  But she sounds like one too.

     

    Sounds like it was just a toxic relationship in general that she was a consensual participant in. This feels like something I might've said about my ex after our toxic relationship ended and I realized how dumb I was for going along with it for so long. I do feel for her and what she endured because toxic relationships can be quite damaging, but the moment I "matured" was when I stopped blaming my ex for things that I actively participated in and enabled. Doesn't mean my ex was a saint, but doesn't mean I have to destroy their livelihood either.

     

    Hopefully both parties can learn something from the experience, move forward, and grow.

    LOL "Let's be reasonable here, I need to see more first before jumping to any conclusions, but here's a dissertation on why I think this woman's story is bullshit and she should have known better, and also people who complain about assault should grow up!"

    OST for the new Candyman through Waxworks.  Price is dumb, but both the cover and vinyl mockup (which, yes, likely won't look as cool once real) both look great.  Going to try and catch Candyman in the next week or so, really excited for it!

    I don't like the Sacred Bones /500 *as much* but it still looks pretty cool too.

    I can't think of any Waxwork releases where the final product looked wildly different from the mock up. I don't have every release, but pretty sure this will look at least pretty close to what is shown here. 

     

    It's pricey, but I think the score is really cool and it looks like a quality package. Seeing the movie tomorrow, can't wait. 

  4. I assume everyone here advocating for giving Ryan space to "heal" also don't believe most of the allegations against him, which he and this total fluff piece are obviously trying to discredit, since they attempt to poke holes in most of the stories. 

     

    That should be your disclaimer. Otherwise, I see no reason at this point, why he couldn't acknowledge the pain expressed in the NYT article, apologize for it, and promise to do better. Some might not accept that, but I bet many would. It would at least sound sincere. Instead, it sounds like he believes he did nothing wrong, and it seems there are lots of excuses being made to hold that up, without any evidence to the contrary. 

     

    "Hey, Mandy Moore could have gone and picked up the guitar anytime she wanted if she thought she didn't need me," doesn't really satisfy a whole lot.

    So WW posted on their Twitter today a gif of a frog on a spinning record, and of course my mind immediately went to “hey is it possible that there might be a release of Les Baxter’s bizarre non-musical soundtrack to the infamous 1972 Frogs?”—and the only like I got was from WW themselves! There’s hope yet! Ha. Maybe they could do a double score on a single record a la Scanners/the Brood since there probably isn’t enough material for two sides. Another weird Baxter score hopefully? 

    I wouldn't put anything past Waxwork, wild as that pressing would be. I'm guessing the post is more a nod to their TMNT release, but who knows! 

     

    As an aside, and as a huge fan of Les Baxter's more "traditional" exotica work, I'll never get over how batshit cool the Frogs score is.

     

    EDIT: For a second there, I confused frogs with turtles. My addled brain is clearly lagging, so maybe you're onto something!

    I really wanted him to come out of this. I really wanted to see him make some right steps toward trying to right the ever-growing list of accusations thrown at him. But he didn’t. He made it about himself, further victimizing the women that he abused for so long. 

    Yep, right on. He went silent, waiting for things to blow over, made a few vague "reflection" social media posts, and now I guess thinks it's safe to come out of hiding. Absolutely not one word about the victims or their pain (other than his own). 

     

    If there were efforts made toward reconciliation and healing in private, great. But the lack of public acknowledgement or truth has been despicable.  His victims were brave in coming forward to tell their stories and invited a dialog. He chose to be a self-righteous coward. No thanks.

    Reckless seems to have both the Dave Pike and Parish Hall LP's in stock for mail order now, which are popular titles with the boomers.   Most of the other popular titles are sold out, though.

     

    They show in stock now, and I made it all the way to final checkout with them to make sure they were still available.

    Thanks, took a shot. Not a boomer, but that Dave Pike record is awesome. 

  8. If Waxwork/Sacred Bones are going to keep doing Carpenter scores, I'm hoping to finally get a great Halloween 78. Not a fan of the Mondo releases with dialogue and their 40th anniversary reissue is better but there are the noted sound dips due to the tracks being pulled from the film. 

     

    I'm no expert though, so maybe that's the best there can be. If anyone knows of another option already in existence, I'm all ears!
