Sophie Turner, Boyd Holbrook & Simona Tabasco To Lead Sci-Fi ‘Cloud One’ For ‘Money Monster’ Outfit The Allegiance Theater – Cannes Market
Independent Spirit nominee Dukic (Wristcutters: A Love Story) is directing from his own screenplay.
New : Sophie Turner (Game Of Thrones), Boyd Holbrook (Narcos), and Simona Tabasco (The White Lotus) are set to star in director Goran Dukic’s sci-fi Cloud One, produced by The Allegiance Theater (Money Monster).
The logline reads: “In a near future, a man wakes up in a room, without the recollection of who he is, or where he’s from. With only a phone, a typewriter, two windows, and an application called ‘The View’, he follows a virtual memory-inducing routine, but as the days go by, the border between virtual and reality begins to blur when he falls in love with his virtual subject.
ANOTHER SOPHIE PROJECT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED!!! This is literally crazy omg.
OMG SOPHIE 😍 GIRL LET US BREATH!!!!!!!!!!

RIP Patrick Peter Owen Adams (March 17, 1950 – June 22, 2022)
(1981, Golden Flamingo Records, 2525)
September 22, 2019
CLICK HERE for the September 22, 2019 playlist
1. Protomartyr - “What The Wall Said” (2014)
I feel like a band this odd could only be from Detroit. Combining fierce and inventive punk rock with unique, almost professorial vocals and oblique storytelling. This song gives a good feel for what this band does well.
2. 23 Skidoo - “Vegas El Bandito” (1982)
Arty, borderline-pretentious post-punk from London, who tried to incorporate all types of experimental and world musics into some form of punk-funk. This is one of their more straightforward tracks.
3. Jean-Jacques Perrey - “Cat In The Night” (1970)
Early synthesizer musician from Paris, who made silly, “futuristic” lounge music that occasionally cohered into something downright gritty and funky, as is the case here. Co-written by Perrey and “Andy Badale,” who would go on to be David Lynch’s go to scorer under his birth name, Angelo Badalamenti.
4. Cloud One - “Spaced Out (7” Edit)” (1977)
This was an underground disco group led by Patrick Adams, who led a string of other disco groups as well. I love the wacky synth lines on here, and the repetitive nature of the song predicts the structure of electronic and house music.
5. Garçons - “Critics” (1979)
Three French guys, originally called Marie et les Garçons until their drummer, Marie Girard, quit the band. They put out music on classic “mutant disco” label Ze Records.
6. Grauzone - “Eisbär” (1980)
This band was from Switzerland (not a hotbed of musical activity to my knowledge) and in 1980 had a hit in Europe with this song. The lyrics translate to: I wish I was a polar bear, then I wouldn’t have to cry anymore. Deep stuff.
7. Au Pairs - “That’s When It’s Worth It” (1982)
Political post-punk band from Birmingham, UK. This song is from their second, less-celebrated album, Sense and Sensuality (which I actually prefer to their first).
8. Guy Garvey - “Belly of the Whale” (2015)
Guy is the lead singer of Elbow, a fantastic and popular UK band that’s barely made a blip in the US. They play what I call “adventurous adult-contemporary” — stoic and stately as British music often can’t help being, but strange and complex in a way US music rarely can be. This is from his only solo album (so far), Courting the Squall, built on a killer bass and drum groove.
9. Yusef Lateef - “The Three Faces of Balal” (1961)
This is from Eastern Sounds, an album where Lateef blended Asian musical scales and ideas into contemporary (at the time) jazz. I’m not sophisticated enough to pick up on it, but I like it just the same. Lateef played with Donald Byrd and Mingus, usually on tenor sax, but here plays a mean flute.
10. Ava Luna - “PRPL” (2014)
Buncha ringers from Brooklyn playing a post-punk/R&B hybrid. They’re usually pretty frantic, but here slow down for a ballad written by Felicia Douglass (one of the band’s three singers/songwriters).
11. Marmoset - “Lost Days For Ways” (2001)
Bloomington, IN minimalist punks, and one of the early bands on Secretly Canadian. They’ve been sporadically active since this album came out in 2001, which is my favorite of their releases.
12. Antena - “Sissexa” (1982)
French (or Belgian, depending on what you read) band led by Isabelle Antena playing a strange, post-punk take on samba and lounge music.
13. Marcos Valle - “Os Ossos do Barão” (1973)
Brazilian dude I ignored for awhile because he’s never mentioned in connection with the Tropicalia movement and that scene’s luminaries like Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Os Mutantes. But he’s been around since before them (’63 to be exact), and he’s never stopped since then, putting out a record this year. This song is from one of his sort of beachy 70′s albums, and apparently was the theme song to a Brazilian TV show at some point.
14. Ronald Langestraat - “I’m Ready for Dancing” (1984)
Spacey lounge dude from Amsterdam. That’s all I know. Sometimes my explorations take me down some strange paths.
15. Colin Stetson - “Judges” (2011)
Colin Stetson is a madman saxophonist of seemingly infinite breath. This song is just him, allegedly in one take, and the sounds are coming from everywhere: the sax itself, contact mics picking up the clacking of the valves, a throat mic picking up his singing into the instrument while playing it, etc. It all sounds like some weird lo-if techno made by machines, but couldn’t be more organic. Stetson’s now scoring films - he did Hereditary, among others.
16. Jorge Elbrecht feat. Tamaryn - “Words Never Fail to Fail” (2018)
Mr. Elbrecht is one of my favorite music makers of the past, at this point, 15 years or so. His bands Lansing-Dreiden and Violens put out two great records apiece, and after a bit of a break he’s been putting music out under his own name for the past year or so. This comes from his solo album from last year, Here Lies, and is a ballad duet with Tamaryn, whose records Jorge has produced to beautiful effect as well.
