The one-continuous shot gem “Lucas with the Lid Off” from 1994.

I’ve had the soundtrack to “Once” sitting on my desk since about May, but I refused to listen to it before I saw the movie. It’s not your typical soundtrack, and in fact some people (wrongly) consider it a musical. In truth, it’s somewhere in between a soundtrack and a musical. It’s really a movie about music. A couple scenes are shot in musical style, but that’s about it.
This, for those who don’t care if I totally spoil the movie’s finest moment, is the movie’s finest moment. Guy (not his name: the two leads don’t have names, they’re just Guy and Girl) finally gets into a studio with Girl and some fellow Thin Lizzy-loving buskers, and proceed to bang out a song that just builds and builds and builds until it explodes. How can someone with Glen Hansard’s talent go so long without anyone knowing his name? Dunno, but in an interesting side note, he was a guitar player in the Commitments as well. Gotta go and watch that again.
We at Bullz-Eye are planning two massive lists of our favorite albums of the ‘80s and ‘90s. The ‘90s list is nearly finished – I’m only waiting on managing editor Jamey Codding to stuff the ballot box with Pearl Jam albums – and it looks pretty much the way I thought it would, with one great exception. My #3 album, Tomorrow the Green Grass by the Jayhawks, is not going to make the cut. And I’m mad as hell about it.
Hot damn, I thought at least one other person would vote for that album. Didn’t happen. I mean, I expected some of my big picks, like Pulp’s Different Class and the Trash Can Sinatras’ I’ve Seen Everything, to go overlooked by the rest of the staff. But come on, the Jayhawks? How do you not love the Jayhawks?
Apparently I bet on the wrong horse. The band’s 1992 album, Hollywood Town Hall, received several votes, but not enough to crack the top 90. Clever, huh? Top 90 albums of the ‘90s? Yeah, um, hmmm.
Anyway, I submit Exhibit A in the case for the Jayhawks: “I’d Run Away,” a soaring pop song that still pops on the occasional mix disc. Yes, I still make mix discs. Shut up.
Yowza! Man, I loved these guys. And still do, of course. But I can still remember the chills that went up and down my spine when I saw them perform live and watched them effortlessly reproduce the harmonies from Bellybutton and Spilt Milk. Seeing them headline at Club Rogue’s in Virginia Beach is easily one of the greatest I-can’t-believe-I-was-really-there shows in my personal history. This performance from “Late Night with David Letterman” isn’t quite up to that level, partially because The World’s Most Dangerous Band was notorious for stepping on the toes of their musical guests, but it still shows you that the band’s vocals were virtually unparalleled.
A nightmare blast from the early ’90s past. Yes, it’s Jordy coming back to haunt you with his hit “”Dur Dur D’etre Un Bebe.” Remember and ralph.
