Yes I know it's a Roman Polanski film (stifles gag). But it's Adrian Brody's first significant role and MAN was he amazing. Super-Method, too; he withdrew for months, gave up his apartment and his car, broke up with his then-girlfriend, and took piano lessons for four hours a day until he could master passages from some of Chopin's finest works. At 6 ft 1 in, he lost 30 pounds for the role (dropping to 130 pounds at one point). I hadn't seen it in over 20 years. Worth another look.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
