Hey Strutters, popping back in here to say that Beyond Video is still going strong, and is now re-open (with masks and other social distancing measures strictly enforced) after some months of COVID shutdown. Don't imagine any of y'all have trips to Baltimore planned, but wanted to update you...

klezmer electro-thug beats said: I keep coming back to this in my head, like, how can I get some people together to do something like this where I live (London)... I know of some indies that held on longer than most but I'm unaware of any real beloved institutions - without the inbuilt...

klezmer electro-thug beats said: It's got me thinking, it'd be cool if you guys share anything useful to know about starting up a store like this so others can follow without re-learning what you all have pioneered. I'm glad you mentioned that, I actually have written up something along...

Hey everybody -- long time no post. This is one of the projects that's kept me off the forums the last few years... not record-related, but most def physical-media-related. Here in Baltimore, the land of John Waters and The Wire, myself and some friends (including another strutter, erehwon)...

DocMcCoy said:onetet said:maybe our insistence that films' soundtracks limit themselves to music the characters could've heard in their era is limiting, unfairly focusing on one of these modern tools when we allow so many other contemporary devices to be used to tell the story. Nobody...

Never fully get this line of complaint. Yes, they didn't have rap in 1860... they also didn't have recorded music of any kind, not to mention movie cameras. If the characters are depicted listening to post-period music in a period piece, then we have a question of whether the...

I've been living in Baltimore without a car for 16 years. We have one subway line, one light-rail line, and a miserable bus system, but I ride them all and walk quite a bit. I've spent lots of time in Toronto, incidentally, and have to say your system is exponentially more effective...

R.I.P. I've lived most of my life in or near Baltimore, and was lucky enough to attend his retirement game way back when. Oversaw the era when the Orioles were the winningest and wildest team in baseball... sadly, it's been mostly downhill since. BTW, the "Manager's Corner" video...

I'd be first in line for a Stanley Nelson documentary about James Brown, but I don't know if I could stomach a biopic.

Damn. R.I.P.

Of course, what everyone should really be doing is checking their friends' timelines and making sure private messages we wrote aren't visible *there*, right? Seems much more embarrassing and damaging to me. That said, when this story hit I checked my timeline and those of several close...

On the Baltimore rock front I'm been digging Horse Lords. http://www.ehserecords.com/ehse023/ My points of comparison would be Agitation Free, Dog Faced Hermans, and This Heat. This is how their label sums them up: "Using the just intonation tuning system favored by avant garde...

pcmr said:did you by any chance catch this No, I didn't. What have you heard? Standouts so far for me: POST TENEBRAS LUX -- New Carlos Reygadas movie about class, family, sex, and animal cruelty. Totally unique visual style. Audiences will be puzzling through this...

20 films down, 25 yet to go... wish I could say I'd seen some masterpieces so far, but everything's at least ranged from good to really good with only 2 exceptions. BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO should interest people here. It's set in the 70s, a claustrophobic tale of madness and obsession...

Hey! No longer staying near Kensington, we've shifted w/ the venues over toward College + Yonge. Less interesting neighborhood, but close walking distance to most venues. We overlap on at least two films. I've got RUST AND BONE at the Ryerson tomorrow at noon, and BERBERIAN Monday, 6pm...

Didn't see a thread for this yet... just arrived in Toronto in time to grab tickets for the Orioles vs. Blue Jays tonight, and then tomorrow I'll jump in with a projected 43 movies from 25 countries over 11 days. I have tickets for Malick's booed-at-Venice TO THE WONDER, Baumbach's FRANCES...
