<< Far From heaven - because Azeem and Joseph in Manilla said to >> Whoaah, Vince! I haven't seen Far From Heaven, and wouldn't even give it an "it's probably good based on previous form" sort of pre-recommendation, as I *hated* Todd Haynes's last film, Velvet Goldmine, with a vengeance. Everything I've read and seen about Far From Heaven suggests that I'm unlikely to like it, although of course that could easily change. Azeem in London NP: Die Lady Di (name of band, honestly!) - House of Come from a very strange 3 CD compilation on Dressed To Kill Records called Femme Fatale, which purports to be a history of women in music. In fact it's a bizarre mix of old classics (It Might As Well Rain Until September, Angel Of The Morning, My Baby Just Cares For Me, etc); out-of-left-field choices by Nico, Marianne Faithfull, June Tabor; indie hopefuls like Brix Smith, Tracey Thorn and Michelle Shocked; *total* unknowns like Lucy Cotter, IV Webb, Chloe LeFay, etc; and, closing the last CD, the mind-boggling prospect of Lee Hazelwood's lubricious Some Velvet Morning as interpreted by shock-goth performance artiste Lydia Lunch! I can hardly contain my excitement...
