Robert Anthony De Niro Jr. was born 79 years ago today in New York City.
With his puzzling method acting, he starred in many classic movies in the 70s
and early 80s with unique performances.

He won 2 Academy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, and
a Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. In 2016 De Niro received the Presidential
Medal of Freedom from U.S. President Barack Obama in 2016. Along with Al Pacino he’s
my all-time favorite actor. Hands down.

Widely Praised Nostalgic Psych Pop Album ‘HALCYON DIGEST’ By DEERHUNTER Is 10 Today

Posted on by JL

28 September 2020

Band: Deerhunter (Georgia, US)
Album: Halcyon Digest – the band’s fifth LP
Released: 28 September 2020 – 10 years ago today

NME said: “For all its occasional lack of bite and drama, ‘Halcyon Digest’’s
tender, transgressive pop proves a fine and focused addition to a uniquely
haunting body of work. Cherish it like you would a phantom limb.”

Bradford Cox (the band’s singer/songwriter) “The more you try to sound original and non-derivative, the less you allow yourself to write freely. Our songs are written as improvisations, either individually at home or as a group. The album’s title is a reference to a collection of fond memories and even invented ones, like my friendship with Ricky Wilson (note: the founder of
glorious The B-52’s who died, only 32, due to Aids-related complications) or the fact that I live in an abandoned victorian autoharp factory. The way that we write and rewrite and edit our memories to be a digest version of what we want to remember, and how that’s kind of sad.”
