Day 3907 - Upcoming albums - 01.30.22

I pulled a bunch of records off the shelf for records that are coming up on the 1001 albums list.  I laid them out and took this photo.  After the fact I realized that I pulled the wrong ABBA album.  I accidentally pulled "The Visitors", but I should have pulled "Arrival."  Oh well.  I was going to redo the photo, but I ended up not doing it.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3901 - "Trick Or Treat" and "Terror On Tour" At The New Beverly - 01.24.22

I saw a couple rock and roll horror films tonight.  "Trick Or Treat" was far better than I expected.  I thought it was going to be more campy, but It was played fairly straight and I really liked it. "Terror On Tour" was super low budget and amateur, but it had a few interesting sequences.  It wasn't great, but it was entertaining.  The complete amateur quality had its charm.  This is something I saw today.

Another double feature at the Bev tonight.  "Arrebato" was an interesting Spanish film.  Weird and trippy.  "Videodrome" was amazing.  I had seen it before a few years ago, but this was the first time on the big screen and it played great.  Loved it.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3895 - Records In The Living Room - 01.18.22

I had to clear off an entire record shelf so that I could move the shelf so that some electricians could access an outlet.  All of the records I have on the floor in my living room.   One good thing that has come from moving all of these records it that I came across records I had forgotten about, such as that Kay Starr record you can see.  That had some great songs on it.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3894 - "New York Ninja" and "Miami Connection" At The New Beverly - 01.17.22

I went and saw "New York Ninja" and "Miami Connection" this evening and the screening was amazing.  Of course I knew "Miami Connection" and knew that it was going to be fun, but I had no idea how awesome "New York Ninja" was going to be.  I dare say that it paid even better than "Miami Connection."  This was something I saw today.

Day 3877 - Smoke Shop Window - 12.31.21

Today my wife and I went and saw "Licorice Pizza" at the North Hollywood Laemmle.  Before the film walked around the NoHo district which we had not really been to since before the pandemic.  I took pictures of the El Portal theater and some of the buildings and storefronts.  I took a picture of the smoke shop not only for the weathered painted window, but also because this was the site of Nudie Cohn's "Nudie's Rodeo Tailors."  That was super cool to discover.  Also another cool coincidence was that one of the last shots of Licorice Pizza has our two heroes reuniting in front of the El Portal Theater.  So it was cool walking out of the Laemmle to see one of the locations just featured in the film.  This is is something I was today.
