A recent visit to Bandcamp uncovered two releases by a Southern California combo appropriately dubbed M Squad, fronted by veteran guitarist/composer “Burnin’ Mike Vernon.” He’s my kind of guy. “As a kid,” Vernon recalled, in the… ## [From the Cutting Room Floor: Matchstick Men](https://www.screenactionjazz.com/2026/04/from-cutting-room-floor-matchstick-men_01223171214.html) _2026-04-10 · Derrick Bang · Screen Action Jazz_ I enjoyed this film. The conclusion packs an unexpected punch, and portions of Han Zimmer’s score certainly qualify as suspenseful jazz ... but those portions are fleeting. When it became necessary to trim my final two manuscripts, both of which had outgrown their word-count limits, the logical (and easiest) deletions involved scores that are only partially jazz ... no matter how entertaining the… ## [Weather, Politics and Olive Oil: A Trade Worth Watching](https://moderninvesting.substack.com/p/weather-politics-and-olive-oil-a) _2026-04-09 · Modern Investing · THE MODERN INVESTING NEWSLETTER_ The Legacy of the World’s First Options Trader ## [Agriculture & The Most Impressive Business I Have Ever Found](https://moderninvesting.substack.com/p/agriculture-and-the-most-impressive) _2026-03-23 · Modern Investing · THE MODERN INVESTING NEWSLETTER_ One of the largest agricultural conglomerates trading at cents on the dollar while paying a 60% special dividend ## [Prime Noise-Cancelling Picks (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/SbhFv8nKSY1N) _2026-03-23 · **Sponsored**_ Browse Prime-eligible, 4-star-and-up noise-cancelling earbuds with fast shipping and deals ## [The Most Toxic Stock in the World — I’m Long](https://moderninvesting.substack.com/p/the-most-toxic-stock-in-the-world) _2026-03-02 · Modern Investing · THE MODERN INVESTING NEWSLETTER_ From Lawsuits, Corruption, and Debt to Refinancing and Asset Sales ## [Update on the Fallen Angel Thesis Post Earnings](https://moderninvesting.substack.com/p/update-on-the-fallen-angel-thesis) _2026-02-16 · Modern Investing · THE MODERN INVESTING NEWSLETTER_ Earnings Commentary and Thesis Confirmation… ## [Metlen -20% on Profit Warning | Opportunity or Trap?](https://moderninvesting.substack.com/p/metlen-20-on-profit-warning-opportunity) _2026-02-09 · Modern Investing · THE MODERN INVESTING NEWSLETTER_ Update on Metlen and my thoughts on the crash… ## [The beat goes on: Black Bag](https://www.screenactionjazz.com/2025/03/the-beat-goes-on-black-bag.html) _2025-03-21 · Derrick Bang · Screen Action Jazz_ Big-screen jazz scores clearly have become an endangered species, but good grief; I’ve not been able to showcase a new film release since Confess, Fletch came out in October 2022. Thank goodness for director Steven Soderbergh and Belfast-born DJ-turned-composer/musician David Holmes, who’ve worked together since 1998’s Out of Sight , which was followed by Ocean’s Eleven and its two sequels.

I concluded that post with the hope that the label intended similar treatment of 1995’s second season; that wish has been granted with the release of Fallen… ## [Fallen Angels and a wayward Fugitive](https://www.screenactionjazz.com/2024/08/fallen-angels-and-wayward-fugitive.html) _2024-08-28 · Derrick Bang · Screen Action Jazz_ I covered Showtime’s marvelous film noir series, Fallen Angels , in my second volume. This anthology show delivered six episodes in the summer of 1993, followed by another nine in the autumn of 1995. Each playlet was adapted from a story by a famed noir author, and was blessed with a phenomenal attention to detail appropriate to post-World War II Los Angeles: a heavily stylized depiction of the…
