Goblin to Play Suspiria LIVE at the NZIFF!

Holy. Shit. That's the only reaction any self-respecting horror fan can have to this mind-blowing announcement by the NZIFF last night. I for one did not see this coming. Let's put it this way: it's basically a night where we'll be treated to legendary musicians playing the legendary score to a legendary film! Have a listen to the Suspiria theme here and imagine it cranked up and played LIVE at the Civic Theatre: THE event of the year of any kind.

Listen: Petra Haden - "Psycho"

Have a couple of minutes to spare this arvo? Have a listen to this fantastic acapella rendition of Bernard Herrmann's theme to Psycho from Petra Haden. It's one of many acapella reworkings of famous film themes and songs you can find on her new album Petra Goes to the Movies. Very cool.

Lost: The Sitcom!

So what's a Lost fan supposed to do in the (excruciating) downtime until Season 6 starts next Feb? If all the suffocatingly obsessive forum discussions are getting a bit too much, there's always the abundance of fan-created material on youtube to tide you over. The latest I've stumbled across is a great mix of Lost's Season 1 opening credits with Full House's theme song (there's a few more at TV Squad). It's kind of interesting how easily Lost lends itself to the late '80s/early '90s sitcoms, though it probably speaks to how cheesy the show can be at times (and no doubt the editorial wit of the clips' makers). But I dunno, maybe it's the hair or something. Either way it's pretty funny stuff. Love how they got the Full House typeface in there.
