It suffers a bit from a lack of diversity in voices. White people (mostly of privilege) aren’t the only people that struggle or fail to achieve their hopes and dreams. Still worth a watch (it’s streaming on Criterion currently). https://boxd.it/HLiw01 Mar 2025 15:44 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljdba67w5c23https://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3limfbflosk22RFK Jr. is a fraud and a danger to public health. Pointing out his addiction history is unnecessary and harmful to those in recovery and those seeking it. Just because someone abused drugs in the past doesn't mean they can't have opinions and/or contribute to society. He just happens to be a fool.20 Feb 2025 13:25 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3limfbflosk22https://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3lihupfdx6k2gBeautiful review of Azimuth, out tomorrow on @pastinside.bsky.social https://substack.com/home/post/p-15734570318 Feb 2025 18:18 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3lihupfdx6k2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3ligbqf7qyk2pToday’s spins: Khanate - Clean Hands Go Fowl Masahiko Togashi - Spiritual Nature Sarah Davachi - Selected Works 118 Feb 2025 03:06 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3ligbqf7qyk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3lhwcvzyif22uSimon McCorry and I have a new album coming out on @pastinside.bsky.social later this month.

Beautiful country. They run on 98% renewable energy sources and abolished their military in 1948 and invested the funds in primary education. 🤔04 Feb 2025 14:28 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhebdzc3sk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3lgwaot7iic2aFripp and Eno “double pack” for the win.

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did but it was layered and surprisingly bold (especially for a film that was released in 1939). It became clearer as the movie went on why it caused such an uproar upon release. https://boxd.it/29Es27 Jan 2025 05:19 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgp6vwgwas2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3lgnlaexe3s2sFascinating, slow burn character study that is equal parts comforting and unnerving. It’s very human in that it’s full of longing and contradictions (connection/disconnection, control/no control, etc). The running time is long but it’s purposeful and allows you to feel closer to the protagonist. https://boxd.it/T1826 Jan 2025 13:54 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgnlaexe3s2shttps://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3lghh6llqe42oThis is my second Resnais film after Hiroshima Mon Amour. Tragic, disorienting, and beautifully shot. The fragmented editing might be off putting for some but it is largely effective in portraying the impact that trauma (particularly war and grief) has on memory. Still need to see Marienbad. https://boxd.it/tZ224 Jan 2025 03:25 +0000at://did:plc:dl5lej7svvv5pwepyet2b2be/app.bsky.feed.post/3lghh6llqe42ohttps://bsky.app/profile/nick-turner.bsky.social/post/3lggybpa7xe2oToday’s spin: Infinite Future Band - Endings fullspectrumrecords.bandcamp.com/album/endings Amazing release to go out on.

Following the Kenji López-Alt recipe. Leaving it out on parchment over night allows the crust to get crispier and it’s easier to move in and out of the oven.
