And according to the Interweb, it's playing at a small art house out in Denver, or at least it was last week. So it might show up in Chicago some time, who knows.Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-15021096047857943032010-06-05T12:36:15.912-07:002010-06-05T12:36:15.912-07:00Hey again.

I know it didn't play here in Chicago. It's very possible it never made it to this country at all. Sure hoping to find a way to see it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-81418444574184995712010-06-05T09:42:42.257-07:002010-06-05T09:42:42.257-07:00You are so right, Alex -- not only the Records, bu...You are so right, Alex -- not only the Records, but also the pub rock band Kursaal Flyers, which gave Birch a perfect insider's perspective for writing his first book, No Sleep Till Canvey Island. That's how he first got to interview Ian Dury, and Dury was such a great interview subject, that inevitably led to this book. Birch also wrote songs for Dr. Feelgood and the Searchers. Talented guy!<br /><br />Brian, I didn't get to see that movie, which as you can imagine was not widely distributed here in the States, beyond film festivals. I'm dying to see it. Andy Serkis is dream casting for playing Ian Dury! Where did you catch it? Who knows if it'll even come out on DVD here.Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-72972579187996958222010-06-04T21:48:34.824-07:002010-06-04T21:48:34.824-07:00Very cool -- and if I'm not mistaken, the guy ...Very cool -- and if I'm not mistaken, the guy who wrote that book is the same Will Birch from the Records (of "Starry Eyes" fame).Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372496375739714441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-86626023266834019792010-06-03T21:28:09.567-07:002010-06-03T21:28:09.567-07:00I'm a big fan of Dury and all things Stiff, to...I'm a big fan of Dury and all things Stiff, too.
