The 80's brit synth group Heaven 17 took their name from a brief mention of a band by the same name in the novel. If you look closely at the first pic in the story, you can see Heaven 17 listed in the Top Ten.

At this rate it'll be easier to download a torrent, find the scene and click through frame-by-frame.

The page finally loaded! And, yeah, how fucking cool is it that Kubrick included Fahey's Blind Joe Death? Answer: VERY fucking cool.

Heads-up, there's some NSFW in there.

My god, it's full of NSFW.

I had to go back to find it. There is one magazine cover with NSFW images. "Full of" is an overstatement. Regardless, I'll ask a mod to add a warning.

I think shakes was paraphrasing Barry Lyndon.

I think shakes was paraphrasing Barry Lyndon. The only Kubrick movie I've seen only once! When it ran in theaters (yes i am old). So the paraphrasing was lost on me...

Uh, the film 2010 / the novel 2001? i'm gonna assume there's not a quote similar to that in Barry Lyndon, it's on my to-watch list

Anthony Burgess originally sold the movie to Mick Jagger for $500 when he needed quick cash. Jagger intended to make it with The Rolling Stones as the droogs. Ok, that comment blew me away.

Very cool. Been awhile since I've seen Clockwork. It's funny how a scene so very 70s manages to still look pretty futuristic.

I'm not familiar with Barry Lyndon, but the line is obviously from 2001, sort of (spoiler-y).

Quite well-researched, but even at a glance I spotted an album cover he overlooked*: up top, between Magical Mystery Tour and Atom Heart Mother is After the Gold Rush. *Not actually a Shining reference.

Uh, the film 2010 / the novel 2001? I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir. The Jungian thing. [Lolita reference]

What drives me insane is the twofold nature of this nymphet, a veteran nymphet perhaps, this mixture in my Lolita of tender, dreamy childishness and a kind of eerie vulgarity. -Gunnery Sgt. Hartman

Jagger intended to make it with The Rolling Stones as the droogs. Then the Chelsea Drug Store scene may have been entirely different, what with Mr. Jimmy and a cherry red soda and all.

I hope nobody cares now. But I believe that second copy of the "2001" soundtrack is not fake, and not the original "soundtrack", but a soundalike version on a cheap 99p record label, and real. So consider the cosmic significance of that.
