Albert’s role in the film may be limited, but he certainly was not. He looks good in a police uniform, but take a gander at his routine! Videos courtesy of straw2gold pictures.

The Tin Book Finds a Safe House

Mark Brown from the Guardian wrote in 2009,

‘It is known as The Tin Book and was co-authored by a fascist-sympathising Italian artist who, 100 years ago today, said all libraries should be destroyed. With wonderful irony, the British Library announced yesterday that it had bought an edition of the book, an artefact that is at once rare, unusual and significant.

The library has spent £83,000 on this pivotal work in the development of the Italian Futurist art movement. Entitled Parole in Libertá Futuriste Olfattive Tattili Termiche (Words in Futurist, Olfactory, Tactile, Thermal Freedom), it may not have the snappiest of titles, but the 27-page metal book is a thing of considerable beauty and exemplifies the mad dynamism and energy of the Futurists.’

As I recently mentioned, Charlie Waters has made an amazing soundtrack for That’s Beautiful Frank. A good part of the score is made of tracks from the Gold Sparkle Brass Band. The Gold Sparkle brand is a strong one, so have a listen to the mighty trio’s hard bop.
