Off the Charts: The Song-Poem Story
Via the Netflix, I watched a great documentary last week called Off the Charts: The Song-Poem Story. It's about an industry that collects the poems of dreamers, then charges them money to put those poems to music, luring them with the dream of potentially making it big in the music industry.
Even if their song is about their bike, and martial arts, and Jesus Christ (all in one song), or your song is about Jimmy Carter.
Anyway, the whole film is up on Hulu, so if you're a USAian, you can watch it. The rest of the world will have to settle for DVD purchase, rental, or piracy.
Over at The Signal: EP065

If you visit the Signal weblog, either by clicking these very words or the image above, you'll see that there's a new Signal mix posted. It's got great tunes! Mosquitoes! Drama! Sounds from around the world!
And, perhaps most exciting, new bumper intro and outro sounds!
What are you waiting for? Is your mouse-clicking finger broke? Use your nose! Click that mouse!

That Would Be a Thumbs Down to Mr. Gabriel's Latest
The abysmal arrangement would be bad enough, but his vocal performance is truly appalling, especially for such an accomplished vocalist. Did he take a gun shot to a lung while recording this? Was he bleeding out as it recorded? Is this his death rattle? Is this a posthumous release?
