One of my faves, The Offering, are apparently getting back together. A new Facebook page and a note that reads "A band that once was and will soon be again."
very glad to hear it....
The Offering are signed to Safranin Sound, which is run by Screen Vinyl Image.
Nadja is a 1994 film by Micheal Almereyda. It was shot mostly in the NYC's East Village. While it's a bit pretentious it's got some really great perfomances from two Hal Hartley regulars, Martin Donovan and Elina Lowensohn, and a wacky Peter Fonda as Van Helsing.
The soundtrack is dope too, boasting tunes from My Bloody Valentine, The Verve and Portishead. The score was performed by Simon Fisher Turner and is up there as one of my favorite records. I believe the album is still in print and is well worth seeking out. You can hear one of the tracks on the latest Loveless/Seamless mix. Pretty sure this is where Fleeting Joys got there name too...
I've must have seen this movie a million times. It was one of those movies, along with Woody Allen films and Julian Schnabel's Basquiat that i used to watch before i moved to NYC. As if New York is really like any of them...but hey, I was young and idealist...regardless, it can still be a quite a romantic town when you need it to be.... just don't ride the subway... ;-)
Usually i don't put these out so close together but i've been feeling rather inspired lately...despite the fact that i'm hung over like a mother today....but sometimes things just need to be said....
