Messing around with my modular synthesizer. Sometimes nice sounds come around.
Inspired by the legendary Dub album from Scientist and the fact that the World Cup is ongoing right now.

Quadrophenia (1973)
A classic cult movie set in England. The Modernists movement (or Mods for short) is a subculture centered around music, parties, drugs and most important of all self customised Lambretta scooters. Young Jimmy is in the middle of it all, trying to make sense out of it all. While doing so he encounters girls, Rockers (archenemies), the establishment and cops. An emotional rollercoaster which might end well. Or not.

Choke (2008)
Being a sex-addict is not easy. Victor Mancini has several thing to work out in his life. There is this “Choke-Neurosis”. There is his hospialized mother Ida, which is a mad character. There is Paige, the young and attractive doctor, which Victor falls for. And there is Jesus’ foreskin… This all comes together in the final part of the film. Pretty dark humor all together.

Bettina (2022)
This is a strong documentary about the east German song wirter Bettina Wegner. Her upcoming in East Germany, her early career and her struggle and conflicts with the political system. It is strikening that it is 100% Bettina Wegner speaking in this movie. No old friends or allies, or other musicians praising her, like you have it in so many other documentaries.

One of the first sequels of film history. The poor old and lonely monster is still around.

The Revenge of the Nerds (1984)
College Humor? Debatable. However the genre has a long tradition. This movie gives it a nice twist, because it puts the nerds in charge. And as we know, there are always nerds around in university and collage. This flick caught my attention when it was explicitly mentioned in American Splendor, another film suppsed to be introduced here.

Enter The Clones Of Bruce (2023)
When Bruce Lee died in 1973 he was on top of is game. He was in heavy demand and he left a void. And producers tried to make up for it (or make money out of it), employing martial arts artist, who looked like Bruce Lee and acted like Bruce Lee. And gave them stage names like Bruce Le, Bruce Li or Bruce Lai, just to make it more appealing. This documentary talks to about a dozen of clones and tells their story.

The Whiskey Bandit (2017)
This is a fast paced action drama, which is told basically through flashbacks. Based on a true story, obviously. The interesting part is that it is set in Hungary, which gives the movie a nice eastern European flair. There are some banks to be robbed, love affairs to be lived, people you care about to be disapointed and there are some intersting turns in the plot. As the title suggests, liquor plays its part too.

Disco Godfather (1979)
This is one out of five Rudy Ray Moore 1970s Blaxploitaion Classics. The actor itself is unique and one of the few queer black cinema artists of the 70ies, who actually made it. The ex-cop, now club owner and badass dance machine Tucker Williams needs to solve a case, which involves some Angel Dust pushers making trouble. Awesome dancing actions guranteed.

Forbidden Planet (1956)
Despite the high praise this move gets on some internet portals, I believe it is “just a solid” mid 50ies science fiction movie. Robby the robot is definitly a fine character, but what catches me most on this film is the soundtrack, presumably the first purely electronically sythesized score. The soundtrack and the composers behind it have their own facinating story to follow. Money quote: “When the Krell [a sort of evil antique mysterious underground super computer] died, the electical circuit making the sound[track] died.”

Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (2003)
This documentary clearly romanticizes the dirty old american south. However it doesn’t miss it’s point. How the southern part of the US is, or was in 2003, but probably it didn’t change to much over the years. Special feature guest is author Harry Crews, protagonist of the film is Jim White, who actually did a good album in 1997 inspiring the documentary.

Spektrum Wiese started out as a radio show in Berlin in 2010. After about 7 episodes it became a privatly hosted podcast by Slow Pete. It ran from 2010 until 2017 and morphed into the On The Move podcast.
The show features mainly vinyl records and occasionally some interjections by the host in German language. Finally all episodes, except for a 4-5 in the beginning are available in my online archive.
Spektrum Wiese war eine Radio Show auf Radio Alex für etwa 7-8 Episoden. Anschließend wurde es zu einem Podcast bis es nach Episode 183 in das neuen On The Move Format überführt wurde. Spektrum Wiese ist auf Deutsch moderiert und wurde zwischen 2010 und 2017 produziert. Nun sind (fast) alle Episoden online im Archiv verfügbar.
A Pidgeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existance (2014)
This is the scandinavian Pulp Fiction. Just without any action. And without any plot. And a weird disturbing kind of humor. You watch this movie for about 30 minutes and it feels significantly longer. You really hope it makes some sense in the end. That’s what you hope. Oddly facinating.

Demon Seed (1977)
This film is picking up on AI when its still in Kindergarden. Cool Effects, 70ies super computers, synthetic consciousness, and an actor (side character, which ultimatly dies) looking confusingly similar to the “Hackerman” from “Kung Fury”. When the smart home automation is taking a weird turn, employing deepfakes on visitors, this is just the beginning of an amazingly shocking storyline never seen before.

BAM BAM: The Sister Nancy Story (2024)
Who is the greatest? Sister Nancy probably is, when it comes to jamaican female power. Often reduced to her super hit called “Bam Bam”, this woman has a lot of more to offer and the documentary, starring herself, showes it all. True inspiration for women in music and in general.

She-Devils On Wheels (1968)
It’s the late 60ies, it’s america. it’s motorcycles. And you might think of the Hells Angles or Easy Rider first. However there have been female motorcycle crews too. Female empowerment meets trash could be the motto of this film. It documents the live and times of the purely fictional female crew named “The Man Eaters”. Name says it all. Definitly no lack of brutality in this flick.

The Devil Rides Out (1968)
Films about weird, ancient, satanic rites are mostly worth watching. This case proves this asumption right. Even though this is an adoption from a 1934 more or less trash novel, Christopher Lee does a great job in making this movie watch-worthy. The plot jumps right into the scene and stays hot and fast paced until the end.
