Comments on Mutual Appreciation at NWFF. See it While You Can.

Thanks for the comments - I'll try to catch it while it's there. BTW, is Crime and the City Solution not one of the BEST band names ever?!? Their song is one of my favorites from the Wings of Desire soundtrack.....

Genevieve,

I had that song (6 Bells Chime?) on a mix-up tape for years. But now, I forget what it sounds like. I remember thinking it was the greatest song ever. Who was that band? Whatever became of them?

Yeah, my jaw was on the floor when I saw them steal the show from Nick Cave in that Wim Wenders' movie.

Voila.

Yes! This is a terrific film. I was disappointed that Mr. Steinbacher pronounced it "smug"--even more so that Ted Fry at The Seattle Times gave it one star. Ted's a great guy, but that just seems cruel.

Josh, I decided to do a little research on Ye Olde Crime & the City Solution....and was surprised to see that it was actually a collective of musicians from other bands. Including The Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds!

And Six Bells Chime is the name of the kickass song from WOD.
