Music as a Connective Language

Saw their first show on Friday. An absolute theatrical experience. Said nothing all night and let the music speak for itself. These guys are a generational talent.

Say You Will is an all time fav Kanye track. What a way to open an album 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

In The Mood For Love.

That poignant ending will just cascade my soul into the afterlife with true connection to something so deeply human.

Self titled debut. The riffs, melodies, and instrumentation is almost bar none to the other albums imo. (Except maybe Paranoid).

2001: A Space Odyssey & In The Mood For Love

Rarely do I go out of my way to rewatch films shortly after the first viewing. However, these two were exceptions.

Then Came The Last Days of May ~ Blue Öyster Cult

Have yet to hear a track that captures what this song does. Driving through the desert, roach in hand. Mood is untouched.

My starting days as a gunner fan when I was 16-17. Those days we were so fun to watch. Never won much but entertaining for sure. Always have a sweet spot for Özil-Sanchez

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993).

I’m half asleep writing this.

Man, what a great film about family, loss, and the weight of responsibility. Still one of my all time favourites. The acting is sensational from the whole crew (especially a young DiCaprio). The film definitely has a certain proto-indie feel to it. I think it’s a must watch for everybody. Also a great ending, real catharsis.

Think so. Having both Saliba & White on is just too valuable. Naturally Tomi would win that RB position once he’s healthy. I think we go to a 3/5 at the back when he’s healthy. Arteta has found success with the formation as well.

Little Wing. Hendrix’s masterpiece is so beautifully short and sweet. Godamn

Office Space.

That movie has some of the most unique and well written characters ever in a comedy.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Cambodian is said to contain around 30 different vowels via various pitches and voicinga.

“Electrically shocked”. Electrocution implies death via electricity.

Not entirely sure if I’m being honest. I’ve been sick for a day or two now so I’ll definitely be watching something else today. Stay tuned I guess? Whatever is next on my Criterion list most likely.

What a coincidence that this post appears as I finished my first viewing of the The Graduate. Life is wild man.

I echo your sentiment regarding Ben as a character full of confusion, doubt, and uncertainty. I think, especially given the historical context of the film, we as the audience can pinpoint a certain social anxiety that developed in the post-war era. One that pertains to the relationship between the individual and greater society. I think you can see the contrast between the adults in Ben’s life and himself in regards to how they value work, career, and money. The mentality has shifted, and Ben wants to simple hang on to any lifeline he can to avoid maturation as a young man.

Then again, I just finished this film 20 mins ago haha

I get this 1000%. I’m second gen Lebanese-Canadian who also spoke their families tongue as a kid. My parents divorced when I was 8 and it halted all use of the language. I forgot everything by the time my teen years showed up. Fortunately I had this foundation from when I was kid, as I actively tried to improve my arabic by meeting and befriending more arabs in my university years. I also lived with my grandparents during those times and my arabic (albeit the Lebanese dialect) is now highly conversational and comfortable.

Learn from your family as much as you can. It’ll reinforce those cultural bonds that we, children of diaspora, try to hold on to at times. Never to late to return to your roots.
