ROAD HOUSE (2024) Grade: F+

No. This is bad. Not even for fun. Not funny, corny, mess of a movie. What a waste in so many ways. Probably a nice vaca for everyone involved in since the filming was in the Dominican Republic.

Jessica Carroll (who you might recognise from BG3) absolutely smashed the Newsreader role. We were sitting here grinning from ear to ear when we heard her takes, because it sounds so much like a proper radio news report.

Thank you so much Jessica for being our wonderful newsreader!

The IT Crowd (2007)

In today's review, I find that computer problems can be similar on both sides of the Atlantic. As I attempt a #positive review of the unearthed T.V. Pilot of the 2007 americansation of The IT Crowd, #JoelMcHale #RichardAyoade #JenStClair #RockyCarroll

The world of technology continues to mystify, as everything aims to be more streamlined and simplified. Even so, many rely on the help of technical experts who dedicate themselves, like monks of old, to understanding the ins and outs of these machines, at the expense of almost everything else. This makes dealing with these experts interesting, to say the least. In 2007, an attempt was made to…

Re: Shadow and Bone feat. Malyen and Alina

Now firstly, I guess one must ask: who were "Marlon and Elana" from Elana Belle Carroll and the Checker Chance?

In 2008, when I was a junior at Bard College at Simon's Rock I began dating somebody: Alice Hansmann. There're those who believe that THIS is what caused some o' my depression, but I believe it actually contributed to some o' my mania!

Before this I'd somewhat "successfully" ceased my psychiatric medication using now infamous techniques. During this transition I began looking for any kinda outlet. One thing I did was begin some kindo a bizarre romantic, artistic collab w/ Alice, but I did many things of course!

It was 'round this time that, one fateful, snowy night, I also approached an acquaintance, Elana Belle Carroll (pictured above on vox n' guitar,) abt possibly playing music together. She told me that she was looking for a drummer, tbh! We wrote the song "Elana Belle Carroll and The Checker Chance - About Traveling" on the spot...

O'er time as I randomly hung out with Elana I began noticing something: I, for some reason, had good chemistry with "ditzy" personalities. We would sit there, not even looking at eachother, saying nonsense like oh I forgot to eat today, yah I do that too. Soon I began asking her for romance/dating advice re: Alice Hansmann, who had dated Elana's then-boyfriend, Miles Read, for 'bout a week before Miles and Elana got together I guess, I dunno.

Miles was studying in L.A. for the semester. Elana and I grew closer and closer as we played music and I faggotly cried to her re: Alice. She was always happy to lend an ear and friendly advice abt dating and sex. Finally, one day, she simply looked at me while we were in the dining hall and said those magic words:

"Hmmm, oh nothing, I was just telling (blank) that I love you."

She ran off to pretend to get food, and came back to the table with absolutely nothing, after which she sat in the chair next to me and just stared at me with a huge smile. I, of course, kept eating, not wanting to look. She never acted the same again...

Suddenly, it became clear to me! With my concentration in Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking, I'd begun focusing on "collaborative art" as a concept and exploring this with Alice.

Music! I'd been playing music with others since high school, and really middle school! Music, in the way we approached it in this culture, was more inherently collaborative than the visual arts! I'd BEEN making collaborative art this whole time!

Over the semester I discovered something: absent my meds, in the fits of madness, when I was forced to find what truly made me happy, what I found was

People.

Communism.

People made me happy. Even Nazis like Elana I guess lmao. I made out with and spent a night with Alice in Elana's house at some point, but when I asked myself if I'd rather pursue the visual arts or music, I decided it was Elana who I really liked. Me and Alice unofficially kinda stopped "dating" soon after, and I focused on making Elana Belle Carroll and the Checker Chance the greatest anarchocommunist art collective the world had ever seen. The rest is history...

Of course, like the dawn must turn to day, nothing gold can stay. Elana' boyfriend came back from L.A., and I rejected Elana's attempts to either kiss me or send me secret song messages while I was visiting her and Miles in New Jersey. I kept trying to make music with her, sure, but I knew what had to be done. It was during that summer that, in one of Miles' friends' basements, I wrote the greatest folk country hit of the decade, the lyrics and music coming to me instantly...:

Elana listened to the demo and at first felt excitement, and then nothingness. I knew what it meant: she recognized her dating advice in the lyrics and entered a zen-like state of acceptance. We had entered one another's lives and let the experience change us like in that movie she shewed me: "Once." The cycle was complete, and though I wasn't in the best of moods, when our senior year began I was free to date my first REAL girlfriend with whom I'd partake of coitus, Lucy Zipple, shewn below on the left, 'til my graduation.

Even when it was time for me and Lucy to part ways, I remembered my libertarian training and wrote a song for THAT occasion as well, the far-less popular "Short Fiction," originally titled "Three More Weeks:"

And when it was time to date and then break up with Grace Marston, shewn above on the right and below, for three years, I used the libertarian wisdom again and wrote the song "When This Bough Breaks," after which I decided to deliberately "focus on myself" for however long it took to not repeat such fleeting relationships...

I knew, of course, that these women in their hearts had moved on as well. Alice went back to New York City to become a chef or something. Elana eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming an electronic musician. Lucy probably became a photographer, who knows, and Grace worked the job of her dreams in a museum in Pittsburgh. With special mention to Mary Weatherbee for persistence.

As for me? Heh, well, I'm a story-teller. Keeper of the peoples' histories, I traveled the United States and Canada, spreading word of my Anarcho Communist Revolution while learning of the histories and musical techniques of the people, both leading and supporting various leftist musical projects and other artistic endeavors.

My old friends, old loves, spread our histories as well. Some may feel a sense of nostalgia for Elana Belle Carroll and the Checker Chance, or even of the bands Marlin and the Snails, or 9 Swords, but it is in stories that we survive, and survive we did...

We will outlast them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EPILOGUE

To one of the keepers of the peoples' histories, Jessica Mei Li, I thank you for doing what you can to spread the tale of our survival. If it is true that you wish to speak to me then yes, I of course gladly extend the same invitation to you that I gave another cultural activist, Lily Collins
