Richard Carpenter slapped a cease and desist order on the film - not because of the content, but because Todd Haynes didn't ask permission to sue the songs
Avatar 5:12pm

if i remember correctly it was banned because of the unlicensed use of Carpenters music. Have to watch it again sometimes, I'm sure it's somewhere digitally in the Internet

so if there was willingness (and the actual money) to pay the royality, the Carpenter family would have been fine with the movie (art-wise)? My memories of the movie are really, really dark, but the bulimia part e.g. was quite heavy, I guess?

Any interview-like video I've seen with Richard Carpenter seems quite strange to me. He seems so reticent. Sort of 'not there'. He seems spooky to me; I guess he just wants to stay out of public life or something.

One of the things that kept me up last night was thinking about Karen Carpenter's drumming... the narrative has always been that her record company kept her as a vocalist and just let her indulge a bit with drums but that truly wanted to be a drummer... When I watched the Herb Alpert doc he really casually mentions she just wasn't good enough to be a session drummer.... very very few people have the gift to be high level studio musicians and it is possible karen just wasn't... lots of our best drummers aren't great studio people

I was reading BBC News early this morning, and I panicked, thinking I forgot to reset my schedule.......I am in Toronto, Canada.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:39pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

It makes me really sad that I can't listen to as many shows live as I want to - I'm either working or asleep :-(
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:40pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Avatar 6:41pm
notsoKWYET:

i was listening to Sophisticated Boom Boom last wednesday and someone donated from Toronto
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:42pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@SOp - maybe SOp was the chap you saw in the WFMU t-shirt? How wild would that be? :-)
Avatar 6:42pm
notsoKWYET:

I was wondering!

SOP --- one time i was on the bus in etobicoke and this guy had a massive 45 box... I started talking to him and it turned he knew GG and is a good friend of Otis's... It was so crazy... I went to a show at the Mod club and someone came up to talk to me about my WFMU shirt lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:44pm
StringOFperils:

Seem to be quite a few WFMU listeners here, of various ages, backgrounds, and tastes. The T-shirt wasn't me. Actually, I donated, but opted out of the swag, because Helene might be uncomfortable with me donating cash that I kinda don't have much of these days.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:44pm
StringOFperils:

A covert donation, as it were.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:45pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Chris saw someone in Brighton in a WFMU t-shirt :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:45pm
Stanley:

Ha ha Toronto-ites. WFMU coincidences abound. I'm temporarily living in a tiny village in Scotland (pop 256) and I bumped into another listener on the message boards who also lives here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:46pm
