And the enormous sense of license it provides

I didn't realize there had been a remastered and further expanded edition of David J's V for Vendetta (1984/2006/2019), the EP of incidental music for the graphic novel which I acquired originally in grad school from the wide-open internet where people cheerfully shared 128-bit rips of dead-out-of-print vinyl. I have not yet listened to the newest tracks, but the vamp of "This Vicious Cabaret" contines to owe a debt to Kander and Ebb that can be heard from the next dystopia over. This entire week was like running full-tilt into a brick wall. I couldn't even watch movies. I feel I am in the wrong worldline for recovering next week.

I have nothing relevant to this post to say, but just to let you know that I finished Arcadia yesterday and that I continued to enjoy it very much indeed, and have also now heard Bill Nighy get fucked by a dahlia, so thank you!! <3<3<3

You're welcome! I'm so glad!

Thanks for the song! I don't remember it from the movie, but the lyrics are great. "... that have never brushed a lover's thigh but has squeezed a nation's throat." Nice.

You're welcome! It wasn't used in the Wachowskis' film; it was written to accompany the original run of the graphic novel by Alan Moore; but it certainly could have been.

Ooh. I also had a dubious download of This Vicious Cabaret, but I think it’s several laptops back, so great to hear again.

I wish the source wasn’t quite so resonant right now. I hope you get at least some recovery time.

I'm especially glad I linked it, then!

Yeah. Thanks. I listened afterward to a bunch of radio drama with Hans Conried.
