Eric Burdon and the Animals, Mother Earth, Hour Glass; Fillmore Auditorium, October 19-21, 1967 by Bonnie MacLean.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 RIP Bonnie MacLean<\/a>, another of the original San Francisco poster artists, and the only woman of note in the US psychedelic poster scene. (Not the only woman, however; in Europe we had Marijke Koger<\/a>.) Related: Bonnie MacLean’s posters<\/a> at Wolfgang’s. And RIP to illustrator Tom Adams<\/a>, an artist whose exceptional covers for novels by Agatha Christie<\/a> are only one part of a long and varied career.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Litanies Of Satan<\/em><\/a> (1982), the short but uncompromising debut album by Diamanda Gal\u00e1s, is reissued on Gal\u00e1s’s own label later this month. Further albums from her remarkable back catalogue will follow. Related: video of Gal\u00e1s performing The Litanies Of Satan<\/em> in 1985<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Scorsese is amazed that United Artists didn\u2019t touch one frame of Raging Bull<\/em>, since it\u2019s the first time in his life as a feature director that this has apparently occurred.” In 1981 Derek Malcolm talked to Martin Scorsese<\/a> about his reasons for making a boxing picture.<\/p>\n

“\u2026in a post-AIDS world, its scenes of mass male-on-male decadence evoke a sense of the spiritual: Not to put so blunt a phrase on it, but the majority of the men we see in\u00a0Cruising<\/em>‘s bars would likely die within the next decade, victims of a very heterosexual genocide of neglect. These are blurred, melancholic memories locked forever within\u00a0Cruising<\/em>‘s celluloid; a phantasmagoria of men whose liberation was not legislatively delivered, but recovered in the privacy of leather bars and cruising joints. The film’s overt sexuality makes it hard to escape a sense of catastrophic loss.”<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Pet Shop Boys’ eccentric feature film, It Couldn’t Happen Here<\/em> (1988), is released on blu-ray and DVD<\/a> in June. The video for You Were Always On My Mind<\/a><\/em> gives an idea of the contents.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Orion being one of the brightest constellations makes it a lot of people\u2019s favourites, and he was my favourite as a kid.” Ben Chasny<\/a> on his history of stargazing.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “You think the Holy Grail is lost? No. I have it on my piano.” John Boorman<\/a> talks to Xan Brooks.<\/p>\n
