One mug with vanilla black tea, one scotch glass (crystal) with dregs of Balvenie 21yr Portwood Cask, one Dunhill Pipe half full of Penzance English Mottled Flake Tobacco, one tin of said tobacco, one solid brass lift arm lighter with the inscription “You Light up My Life! Love, Judy” one Smythson floppy bound note book with one Frank B switchblade on top of it, one half typed letter.
Billy Wilder, great art direction, and a phenominal cast — The Apartment.

Along with field recordings, I also want to share another current obsession of mine — commentary. Commentary has been around since the laserdisc era, but I never really took it seriously until a few years ago. I love listening to film commentary, but rarely do I want to rewatch a movie I just watched with someone talking over it. So my girlfriend gave me the bright idea of ripping the commentary to listen removed from the film. I will provide some of my aquisitions here. The first being David O’Russels I Heart Huckabees.
