Another film from the watchlist has appeared on Amazon Prime, 1975’s Report to the Commissioner. Yaphet Kotto, Hector Elizondo, Michael Moriarty. Bleak, sweaty, grimy, set in an NYC suffering from an energy crisis… great stuff.

Gabba of Chaos UK passed away. The fact that 90% of the mentions are in Japanese speaks to the cross pollination between Chaos UK and Japanese noise punx. Anyway, RIP one of those great guitarists whose style is so punk it’s practically art.
