French techno meets 80's science fiction

<a href="http://upcomingfilmscores.blogspot.com/2009/03/daft-punk-tron-20.html">This</a> sounds amazing.

In case you can't remember why you should be excited about Daft Punk:

I need to acquire me some daft punx soom.

If I am not mistaken, Tron's entire score was crafted by Wendy (William) Carlos who also did the moog Beethoven stuff in <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>.

Bitchen early electronic music!

I think you <i>are</i> mistaken, at least slightly--about Ms. Carlos's birth name. I believe she was originally Walter, not William.

Don't know whether she did the music for Tron.

That Daft Punk video reminds me of the movie Flash Gordon for some reason.

She did.

And he was thinking of William Carlos Williams.

This Is Just to Say

I have changed
the sex
that I
was born with

and which
you probably
thought
I'd have forever

Forgive me
I was unhappy,
so hairy
and male

Lorbering: Incidentally, I added her (a couple of years ago) to the reference book I edit. She'll be in the next edition, due out sometime around 2011.

pchippy, you are a delight.

This was the favorite film of my very first boyfriend (I was 14). Many afternoons we'd set about watching it on VHS, but end up making out instead. To this day, I can't think about Flash Gordon without thinking about high school make-out sessions. And I still have only seen 2 scenes all the way through.

For me it's "Ghost Dad". I don't remember any of it, though I did only "see" it once.
Find me on github.
