-:''[[Bite Hard]]'' 
-In recent years compilers such as [[Jonny Trunk]], [[Andy Votel]], [[Cherrystones]] and [[David Holmes (musician)|David Holmes]] have all unearthed rare funk, kraut, psyche rock and soul gems from the soundtrack catalogues of long established [[library music]] companies

-:Forget every "hyphen-[[disco]]" genre you know. The crew behind Dirty elide any sort of easy categorization. [[Resident Advisor]]'s [[William Rauscher]] talks to the masters of the edit to find out where they're taking their knife next.

-:Amid the hype around the revival of underground disco and the concurrent resurgence in DJ re-edits, one label has consistently stayed simultaneously one step ahead and two steps deep left of the rest. ''[[Dirty]]'', the Parisian music crew spearheaded by [[Guillaume Sorge]] and [[Clovis Goux]], has garnered steady acclaim for their string of limited-press re-edits by cohort [[Pilooski]] (AKA [[Cedric Marszewski]]).[http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature-read.aspx?id=964]

-[[Quiet Village (band)|Quiet Village]] is a UK-based band, who released their debut album ''[[Silent Movie (album)|Silent Movie]]'' in May of this year. The album reminded me of the compilation work of [[Andy Votel]] on ''[[Vertigo Mixed]]'', one of my favorite records of the 2000s. Their band name was taken from the [[1952]] [[Les Baxter]] musical composition "[[Quiet Village]]," first released on the album ''[[Ritual of the Savage]]''. 
- 
-''[[Silent Movie (album)|Silent Movie]]'' is definitely [[crate digging]] music but not "[[retro]]", which I've come to see as a [[derogatory]] term. Just like Andy Votel's ''[[Vertigo Mixed]]'' it celebrated the art of [[record collecting]]

-[[Henri Pachard]] died. Henri who? Don't worry, I hadn't heard of him either. He was a porn film director, but judging by way of this clip of the [[1984]] ''[[Great Sexpectations]]''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0m42FFeyDY&], one with a sense of humor and an understanding of the film medium, which is sometimes displayed in the genre, most successfully in [[John Byrum]]'s ''[[Inserts (film)|Inserts]]'', which to tell you the truth, wasn't a [[sex film]] [[per se]]. 
- 
-I am quite surprised by this clip of ''[[Great Sexpectations]]''. I thought that scripted pornography was a thing of the past after the [[home video]] revolution, making way for boring [[wall to wall]] sex and killing the [[softcore]] and [[porno chic]] film industry. 
- 
-Common wisdom has it that: 
- 
-:"By [[1982]], most pornographic films were being shot on the cheaper and more convenient medium of [[video tape]]. Many film directors resisted this shift at first because of the different image quality that video tape produced, however those who did change soon were collecting most of the industry's profits since consumers overwhelmingly preferred the new format. The technology change happened quickly and completely when directors realised that continuing to shoot on film was no longer a profitable option. This change moved the films out of the [[theatre]]s and into people's private homes. This was the end of the age of big budget productions and the mainstreaming of pornography. It soon went back to its earthy roots and expanded to cover every fetish possible since filming was now so inexpensive. Instead of hundreds of pornographic films being made each year, thousands now were, including compilations of just the sex scenes from various videos." 
- 
-I haven't been able whether ''Sexpectations'' was made for a [[theatrical release]] or was [[shot for video]]. Thanks to [[Joplinfantasy]] for uploading this. 
- 
-''[[Inserts (film)|Inserts]]'' is [[World Cinema Classic]] #64. [[Moon in the Gutter]] did an article[http://mooninthegutter.blogspot.com/2007/07/insert-darkness-here.html] on it.

-[[Fritz Kahn]] @120 
- 
-'''Fritz Kahn''' was a German writer and illustrator in the 1920s who specialized in illustrating the [[bodily function|physical processes]] of [[Human body|human bodies]] as though they were [[Machine Age|machine]] powered. 
- 
-This ''[[man machine]]'' trope can also be found in [[Lee Perry]]'s "[[Throw Some Water In]]"[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ODmGLAxdOA] with the lines "Service your engine if you want it to function" by [[Lee Perry]], from his album ''[[Roast Fish Collie Weed & Corn Bread ]]''. 
- 
-Additionally [[Horace Silver]] and [[Andy Bey]] recorded "[[I Had a Little Talk]]," in which the narrator has a little talk with each of his organs: 
- 
-:"I had a little talk with my lungs and I've decided to treat them right. We made a mutual agreement and I think, at last we both see the light. " 
- 
-The Andy Bey track can be found on the Blue Note [[kozmigroov]] compilation ''[[The United States of Mind]]''.
