Book Reviews of Make Your Own Damn Movie!: Secrets of a Renegade Director
Book Review: "the cat, the fart, and the cowbell!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I just met Lloyd for the first time last night at Borders, and later, for the opening of "Poultrygeist" at the Loft in Tucson. He's a crazy guy, but, also, he's real, and a strong defender of "giving art back to the people!" See page 250 of the book.
Having just bought the book, I haven't finished it yet, but I have read all of the stuff that he has to say about sound design, which is really worth reading more than once.
On page 246 of the book, he says that his "three indispensible sound effects" are "the cat, the fart, and the cowbell!"
I only use the last effect in creating my own music, however, and recently, I wrote a poem called "My Cowbell" for my myspace blog, before I even heard of Lloyd:
i have a cowbell, that really is a cowbell
it rings like hell, this really old bell
heavy and bronze
the cow must have been strong
it played many a dance
more than a cha-cha or two
rumbas, and tangos
and many a song
it rang through the air
and set feet a dancing
and hearts a pounding
and skirts a flair
so what about
your cowbell?
what does it say?
do you still use it today?
From reading "Make Your Own Damn Movie", I guess Lloyd still uses his cowbell! Good for you, Lloyd!!
