“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

Wonderful. A great night, I'm sure! They were over here around this time last year, last time I'd seen them was over twenty years prior. Was so good to see them.

Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord Is Dead! What an album, wouldn't that be an incredible gig.

Tempus fugit, etc etc!!!

Definitely going to pick up a copy of this, I think I remember that some of their earlier ones didn't hang around too long!

odubhda @odubhda.bsky.social · 2d

Was reminded myself by some of the heads on here! (@anthonygregory.bsky.social being one) Was saying earlier, I've only dipped a wee bit into their music thus far, this is excellent though.

Great you were able to catch them - always nice not to have to travel too far for the good sounds!

odubhda @odubhda.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, enjoyed that a lot, espcially the last track. Have only dipped the toe into their discography prior to this.
