Sometimes, we think that John Lurie is the Universe, while the rest of us are just living inside his soul; listening, looking, and trying to better appreciate and measure his genius sounds and amazing art.
it's so heartwarming to see the kind and wonderful soul of a human you appreciated for his music-art-etc, it makes you love him even more, feels like you're spiritually friends, if that's a thing anyway. Thank you John Lurie, you are a great influence!
Wonderful Stuff. Thanks so very much for sharing this. The Lounge Lizards rule and thirty years on, “The Voice of Chunk” is still one of the finest albums released in any genre or style. It’s a True Masterpiece and only gets better with each subsequent spin (and stream). His film and television scoring work, for which he’s been handsomely rewarded, is also fantastic. John Lurie Forever!
...love his acting performances, too... and his solo work. He’s also an incredibly fun storyteller and full of sharp, witty, and well-informed opinions. Did we mention his painting? No? F***ing Incredible. Television writer and director... He does it all so very well and with so much heart, soul, and infectious imagination. #EverythingIsMusic ....so... #AlwaysBeListening
This was wonderful. Thank you so much. Never "got him" back in his heydays but so glad I can appreciate him now and especially thanks to people like you who take the time to share these amazing intimate moments. Not sure if he was considered a genius or major force when this was his time but he may have deserved more recognition than he got.
"...it's more... spiritual - I don't know what that words means..." Yeah, John, I know exactly what you mean! Toast to all of us who have experienced that experience beyond words
He's so good with that sax and clarinet I played clarinet in high school for a while and could never get the hang of it my reeds always cracked I hated the spit trap thought it was gross. I bought myself a drum set instead I liked that better just loud banging.
+FunkyNoone It's called Big Heart, and the full video is available to watch on UA-cam. Kinda funny that a band so good at chaotic jazz could come up with something so damn catchy.
I love to like John Laurie, but I don't. I also don't love to not like him. He'd be the kind of friend I care about, but who cares zero about me. He has an air of selfishness, self-centredness that is toxic for my psyche, yet I am gently fascinated by him. What is it about him? Anyone else has a similar vibe? I love all the characters he played with in Jim Jarmush's movies, and always liked them out of compassion for them to have to do with him. Anyways...
Stranger Than Paradise and Fishing With John were my first real experiences with his work. Realized later I’d heard him as a Lounge Lizard and seem him in The Last Temptation of Christ without knowing.
John Lurie, one of the universe's best...

No, John, hearing you playing saxophone for 45' or more is not boring. I could hear you for ever. You're so spiritual !
Thanks for posting this video. Listening to John Lurie speak and play is good for the soul.
God I love him so much! I wish him so well in life, he's given us beautiful music and film roles

Impressed by his sensitivity to both art and music
He’s still very much with and deserving of our love, time, and devotion. Always Be Listening, because Everything Is Music.

It's on the "Fishing with John" soundtrack.. Brilliant soundtrack! The track Ketchak is also on there, it's from another planet!

+FunkyNoone It's called Big Heart, and the full video is available to watch on UA-cam. Kinda funny that a band so good at chaotic jazz could come up with something so damn catchy.

No it"s totally not boaring for me to listen to your saxophone for 45 minutes or an hour, if that"s still a question.

Those lips...
And that voice 😩
f...ng frames...
Anyone else had no idea who this guy is other than “painting with john”? 🙋🏻♂️
Stranger Than Paradise and Fishing With John were my first real experiences with his work. Realized later I’d heard him as a Lounge Lizard and seem him in The Last Temptation of Christ without knowing.
I hope you started listening to his music. Voice of chunk is one of the greatest albums.
🤦🏻♂️zoomers
Anyone know the song at 12.35 ?
