RIP Tony Rayns. Every cinephile encounters his writing at some point, and it’s shocking how his reviews/blurbs are some of the only meaningful words you can find on countless Asian films. Here’s a clip from Seo Won-tae’s film on Tony where he says he loves 간장게장 (soy crab).

In 1999, Nirosta Steel played at the Gin Gin Bookstore and Gallery in Taipei, the only LGBT bookstore in Taiwan. This CD became the first queer album released in the country. One highlight is “Twinkle Angel”: gay 90s slowcore with lyrics based on descriptions for Japanese pornos.

In the early 1980s, the Boston radio station WGBH commissioned the 28-year-old choreographer Marta Renzi to make a half-hour PBS special. The result was her first film, YOU LITTLE WILD HEART (1981), soundtracked non-stop by Bruce Springsteen songs. It’s so good. Here’s a clip.
