[FogFest 2023] A Terrifying & Tasty Evening with The Phlegm Fatales

Just like last year, The Phlegm Fatales—in all their strange, sultry, and wonderfully weird glory—graced FogFest 2023 with their presence. This time it wasn’t so much a scripted show as it was a lip-sync extravaganza (work, bitch!) with songs and performances inspired by the creepy, the crazy, and the horrific. Each member of The Phlegms took to the stage for a few numbers, apart from…

Today in 1961: Bob Dylan took to the stage in New York for his first major gig at Gerde’s Folk City. Dylan was hired to open for none other than the blues icon John Lee Hooker, for a two-week engagement that would go down in history. His setlist included classics like "House of the Rising Sun," "Song to Woody," and "Talkin' Hava Negeilah Blues." He played two other songs that night, identified only as "unknown Woody Guthrie song" and "a black blues," showcasing his incredible range and versatility as a musician. The audience was blown away, including folk legend Dave Van Ronk who attended Dylan's first show and declared, "he was absolutely remarkable." It was a night that would go down in history, but unfortunately, none of the concerts were recorded and amateur recordings have never surfaced.

Peter Tork, 1966.

“Local Singer Debuts On NBC-TV Sept. 12 Mansfield (Special) — A local folk-singer will make his television debut Sept. 12 when The Monkees’ premiere on the NBC network at 8 p.m. Peter Thorkelson, 24, is the son of Prof. and Mrs. John Thorkelson of Wormwood Hill Road. Known professionally as Peter Tork, [he] has been interested in folk singing and the guitar for the past 15 years. A 1959 Edwin O. Smith High School graduate, he attended Carlton [sic] College in Northfield, Minn. While there he was a disc jockey for the college radio station. Thorkelson as been entertaining in Greenwich Village and Hollywood, Calif. for the past three years. During his year at Smith, he was a reporter for the school humor magazine and was active in the drama club. Before attending Smith, Thorkelson completed three years at Wyndham High School where he was active in the drama, rifle and French clubs and was a member of the school band. […] Peter will be flying into New York with the other cast members, to spend the weekend with his grandmother, Mrs. Cait Strauss [sic].” - Hartford Courant, September 3, 1966

"[When I lived in New York] I also taught a bunch of kids up in Westchester for awhile. I wonder if they remember me now." - Peter Tork, The Monkees: Here We Are (1967)

“I arrived on the Village scene the winter of ‘61, and stayed there for about two and a half years. I played guitar and banjo. I came to the Village for glamour, excitement, hippiedom, the liberal lifestyle, free love. I was on the basket-passing circuit in the smaller clubs, like the Basement, the Cyclops and the Id. I later played Gerdes. What I was working towards was to be in a group. When the Beatles hit, where were all the folkies going to go? But I also wanted to be a folk music performer. A lot of what I did was hanging out, feeling for the first time that I was part of the scene, walking down the street and seeing people I knew, doing a little flirting. People were coming to the Village to sit down and have a cup of coffee and hope to find the free love that was supposed to be all around. The character that I was on The Monkees was developed on the stages of the Village clubs.” - Peter Tork, Bringing It All Back Home: 25 Years of American Music at Folk City (1986) (x)

Max as Wolfgang Berns in “Bonn - alte Freunde, neue Feinde” - Episode 1:

Synopsis:

London, New Year's Eve 1953/54 - 20-year-old Toni Schmidt (Mercedes Müller) takes care of the children of a wealthy London family, in whose town house she spends the turn of the year. Here she comes into contact with Lucie and her husband Otto John (Sebastian Blomberg), the President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). The former resistance fighter in Graf Stauffenberg's inner circle is impressed by Toni's thoughtful manner.

Bonn, 1954 - It's the time of the Cold War. As head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Otto John pursues war criminals who have gone into hiding and fights against a resurgence of former Nazis in Germany. One of John's greatest adversaries is Reinhard Gehlen, head of the Gehlen Organization, a foreign intelligence service named after him. John is convinced that Gehlen is actively obstructing the hunt for former Nazi criminals, but he has no solid evidence of this. At the top of Otto John's wanted list is Alois Brunner, who was responsible for the deportation of hundreds of thousands of Jews during the war. Wolfgang Berns (Max Riemelt), one of John's best agents, also wants to track down Brunner.

In search of Brunner, Wolfgang follows a lead to the forger Viktor Heimann, who uses false papers to help former Nazis escape. When he breaks into Heimann's apartment, he surprises the orphan boy Schwarte, who promises to inform him of Heimann's return. But the plan is thwarted, Heimann flees and Wolfgang is beside himself with rage.

Meanwhile, Toni returns to Germany and is warmly welcomed by her mother Else, her father Gerd Schmidt (Jürgen Maurer) and her sister Ingrid. Toni's fiancé Hartmut (Julius Feldmeier) is also there and the joy of seeing them again is huge. Toni is impressed by the family's new wealth - the economic miracle has left remarkable traces. The building materials company is doing well and her father is a respected entrepreneur. But there are also downsides: Stefan, the only son, has not returned from the war and is considered missing (NB: this is the soldier shown at the beginning of the episode).

Against the will of her family, Toni wants to go her own way. Children, kitchen, church and working as a saleswoman in Hartmut's television shop are not enough for her. Completely incomprehensible for sister Ingrid, who is overjoyed as a temp in Hartmut's shop. Surprisingly, Gerd supports his eldest daughter and gets her a job as a foreign language secretary for his old companion Reinhard Gehlen (Martin Wuttke). Shortly afterwards she meets Otto John again in the lobby of the Ministry of the Interior office. For him, Toni could be the key to getting explosive information from the innermost circle around Gehlen. John puts his best agent on her: Wolfgang.

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013, Coen brothers)

14/02/2024

Inside Llewyn Davis is a 2013 film directed and written by Joel and Ethan Coen and starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake and John Goodman.

The film is inspired by the life of folk singer Dave Van Ronk, active in New York in the sixties.

It participated in competition at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Grand Prix.

New York, February 1961: Llewyn Davis is a struggling young folk singer whose recent solo album, Inside Llewyn Davis, was a flop; being without money and nowhere to go, he sleeps on the sofas of friends and acquaintances. One evening, after playing at the Gaslight Café in Greenwich Village, he is beaten at the back of the venue by a mysterious and rude individual for reasons not immediately specified.

He subsequently accepts Jim's proposal to record a new song, agreeing to be paid immediately 200 dollars in exchange for the transfer of the copyright, in order to have the money for the abortion.

The young man accepts a ride to Chicago in the company of the laconic poet Johnny Five and the grumpy heroin-addicted jazz musician Roland Turner; during the trip he reveals that his musical partner, Mike Timlin, committed suicide by jumping off a bridge.

In an expanded version of the film's opening scene, Davis performs at the Gaslight and Pappi reports to him that a "friend" is waiting for him in the back; Davis then watches a young Bob Dylan perform on stage.

The film starts from the Coen's reflection on the rebirth of interest in folk music in the sixties, and in particular that despite the genre's exquisitely rural identity, in that period it was followed above all in a metropolis like New York, and that so all its major performers were natives, like Brooklyn's Dave Van Ronk and Ramblin' Jack Elliott.

When writing the screenplay, the pair of directors drew mainly from Van Ronk's autobiography, published posthumously in 2005, The Mayor of MacDougal Street but, even before starting to write it, the Coens had started from a single idea: imagine Van Ronk getting beaten up outside Gerde's Folk City in the Village.

Producer Scott Rudin, who had previously worked with the Coens on True Grit and No Country for Old Men, collaborated on the project. StudioCanal helped the production financially in the absence of a US financier/distributor.

On May 9, 2013, shortly before the presentation of the film at the Cannes Film Festival, the red band trailer and a new poster were also released.

The soundtrack was curated by T Bone Burnett, songwriter, producer and Oscar winner for the song The Weary Kind, and by Marcus Mumford.
