Black Snake Moan

[Matthew A]

Jay’s music is very nice and I don’t know why people are giving very bad dissertation capital reviews comments. I mean seriously sometimes people just create hype for just no reason. Here all just have to be relax and chill.

What the hell. Race seems to be the topic du jour around here.

Slate addresses the "controversies" of the film. http://www.slate.com/id/2160961?nav=tap3

Note: this topic is JF related b/c Son House, whom I imagine performed this Blind Lemon Jefferson tune, is on the soundtrack, and the name Son Volt is possibly an homage to Son House. Plus the film is set in rural Tennessee, Memphis is in Tennessee, and the "Volt" in Son Volt possibly refers to the Stax-Volt label out of Memphis. And the Picture employs a Memphis-style horn groove, according to all the wonky reviews.

And the name of the film is, on the surface, ultra-sexual, and JF is a known ultra-sex machine.

So be gone all you "what does this have to do with Jay's music" gestappo.

I'm seeing that this weekend.
