I have very good Hungarian DVDs of
Love (a more recent transfer than Second Run's) and
A Very Moral Night, both from MaNDA.

SZERELEM has been restored in 4k, hopefully a Blu-ray from outside of Hungary will come soon.

I really like Steely Dan, especially those first four albums. Saw them twice this past year (the only times I caught them live), and Becker didn't look like he was in good shape, but he was very merry.

Donald Fagen on Walter...
We liked a lot of the same things: jazz (from the 20's through the mid-60's), W.C. Fields, the Marx Brothers, science fiction, Nabokov, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Berger, and Robert Altman films come to mind. Also soul music and Chicago blues.
I love almost all of those things largely in part because of Steely Dan. Their last two albums are real treasures to those who mostly know the classic stuff.

Moschin will be forever one of the friends in Amici Miei, the Monicelli'film that won Jaws in the Italian B.O
His role in Palme d'or winner Signore e Signori is quite important.
He died in Termi, full of beauty that city.

His footage from the 1970 Isle of Wight festival is pretty crucial film of that era of rock music, but also how the dying hippie dream played across the pond.

No link yet, but apprently Holger Czukay has passed on. There's no denying the brilliance of Can, but his solo albums are absolutely worth checking out too. A real shame.

I hadn't made the connection until the BBC News obituary mentioned it, but as well as his theatre and opera work he directed
Akenfield (which was recently released on Blu-ray and DVD by the BFI) at weekends and with amateur actors.

His "compromise" speech in the Sporanos is one of the best things in that show.
