Not to start a new debate, but would anyone agree that the Church can be fey?
BUT THE REAL REASON I'M WRITING:
I'm touching base with all of you Audities people -- many of whom I know by
first name and others by the name of your favorite pop song -- to see if anyone
would like to be quoted in an article I'm writing for a national newspaper.
It will run on Wednesday, so my deadline is Sunday p.m. (the 18th) insofar as
incorporating any quotes into the piece.
The (sort of) catch is, the piece is on movies not music. Specifically, I
need to interview someone who's new to so-called cult movies -- ranging from
so-bad-it's-good Ed Wood stuff to *Beyond the Valley of the Dolls* (which,
incidentally, has a gorgeous soundtrack full of sunshine pop). Those films are just
mere examples.
The person or people I quote must be *new* to collecting this kind of movie
on DVD. In fact, DVD could be a catalyst for his/her new interest in cult
flicks.
I realize it's possible that nobody on the list fits this profile, but I
wanted to literally put the word out. For instance, I know Stewart is very
knowledgeable about movies. And though he may be overqualified for the angle I need,
maybe Stewart knows somebody who's recently started buying Doris Wishman DVDs
(for example).
I truly apologize for reappearing and detouring at the same time -- I know
this doesn't fit the music theme of Audities -- but I'm guessing somebody out
there is as fanatical about movies as power-pop.
I *must* hear from prospective interviewees by Sunday evening, and that
person must be available for an email (or phone) interview immediately.
OK, while I'm at it, I will say a couple of things about music. I think it's
awful that a pair of true icons, Phil Spector and Ray Davies, have fallen down
(Davies literally) as of late.
I mean, Phil Spector arrested for shooting some woman? Incredible! There's
finally a hit he doesn't want to take credit for.
And, of course, Mr. Davies could have easily been a dead-icated follower of
fashion -- he was very lucky. Poor guy wasn't ready for the "Big Sky" quite yet.
Anyway, pardon my cameo here, and please, if you can, write to me if you're
newly into cult movies on DVD. And if by some miracle you work for, or run, a
DVD label, I need to hear from you just as badly, if not more so. Feel free to
refer someone. His or her (or both if it's a hermaphrodite or himaphrodite)
name will appear in a nationally run story -- you can't beat that! If you can
help, please mail me offlist at lifeiswryt@aol.com
thanks!
