![]() If I Were A Carpenter even features a cover version of a song the Carpenters covered, as Babes in Toyland take on “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft,” originally recorded by the Canadian rock group Klaatu. One of the most remarkable and striking tracks on If I Were A Carpenter is Sonic Youth’s dark-hued reading of the Leon Russell-Bonnie Bramlett tune “Superstar.” It’s a knockout rendition of this oft-covered song, which illustrates that a great tune can stand up to many styles and interpretations. The Cranberries provide a faithful version of “(They Long To Be) Close To You” while Sheryl Crow brings out the emotion in her lovely cover of “Solitaire.” Cracker turns in a stark rendition of “Rainy Days and Mondays,” which fits the melancholy tone inherent in the song’s lyrics. Highlights of the album include American Music Club’s stripped-down take on “Goodbye To Love,” and Bettie Serveert’s guitar-driven version of “For All We Know.” There’s also an energetic, pop-rock infused run-through of “Top of the World” by Japan’s Shonen Knife. It’s tough to make such iconic songs your own, but that’s just what bands like Redd Kross, who amped up the vibe with their cover of “Yesterday Once More,” manage to accomplish on this eclectic collection. Grant Lee Phillips, aka Grant Lee Buffalo, who covers “We’ve Only Just Begun,” has spoken of his appreciation for The Carpenters music (and Karen’s unforgettable voice) in interviews, as have some of the other artists involved with the disc, including Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde. Many of the bands featured on the disc grew up listening to The Carpenters and were excited to be part of the album. Veteran producer Matt Wallace and music journalist Dave Konjoyan, who both have a long-time love and admiration for the music of The Carpenters, initiated the project. If I Were A Carpenter features a group of alternative rockers sharing their renditions of a number of Carpenters classics. The Carpenters scored numerous hits, which centered on Karen’s lovely and expressive voice and Richard’s multi-layered arrangements. They recorded tunes from top songwriters like Paul Williams, Burt Bacharach, Neil Sedaka, and Carole King. ![]() One of the more intriguing projects to be released among this plethora of homages was If I Were A Carpenter, a musical paean to the sibling duo that ruled the AM pop radio airwaves for much of the 1970s. ![]() Numerous all-star compilations honoring the music of artists like Elton John, Leonard Cohen, Charles Mingus, Led Zeppelin, Curtis Mayfield, and Jimi Hendrix all appeared during the decade. Aside from being the era that saw the rise of rock bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and pop acts like Hanson and the Spice Girls, the 1990s was the time that an explosion of tribute albums flooded record store shelves. ![]()

![]() ![]() “It’s definitely a very beautiful object,” he says. However, having a coin watch for sale is “an event in itself” because of their rarity. Borgeaud says Piaget made a coin watch with a medal featuring Pope John XXIII’s face to mark his papacy in 1958.Ĭhristie’s Guillemin says interest in coin watches is increasing - though it is still a niche segment - in line with growth in the auction market in general. Medals have been commonly used instead of coins. He bought his first coin watch, a Movado (c 1950) with a silver St Christopher’s medallion cover, last summer. “These things can be appreciated on an artisanship level because they are works of really complex watchmaking,” he says. Vintage watch collector Charlie Dunne, co-host of the Significant Watches podcast, says he was “mesmerised” by the first coin watch he saw in 2018. These things can be appreciated on an artisanship level because they are works of really complex watchmaking Originally sold by Asprey in 1938, it featured the retailer’s signature on the dial and came in its original box. Christie’s set an auction record for an Audemars Piguet coin watch when it sold one featuring a gold Monaco 100 franc coin for SFr43,750 ($47,000) in 2018. Many international currencies feature in coin watches, including Mexican pesos and Napoleon III French francs. ![]() The record for a coin watch sold at the auction house was set in November 2021, when a 1992 Patek Philippe gold and diamond-set example with skeletonised dial achieved HK$600,000 ($77,000) - three times the low estimate.Īt Heritage Auctions, watch collectors account for 80 per cent of coin watch purchases, while coin collectors - who, says Wolf, typically prefer a wristwatch version so they can wear it and show it off when “doing coin business” - account for the remainder. There is “an important pool” of watch collectors in Asia, particularly Taipei, who appreciate the high level of craftsmanship and miniaturisation in coin watches, says Remi Guillemin, head of Christie’s watch department in Geneva. “It was very specific precision work,” Borgeaud says.Ī Patek Philippe gold and diamond coin watch On one occasion, it took him 12 attempts to perfect the spring for the opening mechanism a button at 3 o’clock was pressed to release the cover. Borgeaud was a Piaget jeweller between 19. Piaget, however, made watches between the early 1940s and mid-1990s by cutting one coin in half to craft a case into which it fitted a mechanism. Selmoni believes early coin watches were bespoke orders and then, between the 1960s and 1990s, the brand made 10-15 pieces a year, with 90 per cent being wristwatches.Ī Vacheron Constantin piece required two coins. While the company’s archives include references to coin watches in the second half of the 19th century, the first one of which it has a picture dates from 1927. He notes that prices for its coin watches have been rising in the past two years because there is more interest in Vacheron Constantin on the secondary market. “They offer us a rich storytelling and are very intricate and exclusive,” he says. Heritage Auctions sold seven coin watches in one sale in November a Patek Philippe Reference 801 gold $10 coin example from the 1980s fetched $40,000.Ĭhristian Selmoni, style and heritage director at Vacheron Constantin, is trying to acquire coin watches for the brand’s Les Collectionneurs vintage offering. “So, when they see a coin watch by one of those makers, it intrigues them in several ways: the brand name, the fact it’s a novelty . . . and that it is different from a wristwatch,” he says. Wolf says interest has increased because collectors who started with wristwatches are “branching out” into pocket watches by brands such as Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe and Rolex. Prices for rarer examples - by Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet - have risen by 20-25 per cent in the past two years, according to Jim Wolf, director of watches and fine timepieces at Heritage Auctions in the US, while those for pieces by Corum, Eska and Piaget have grown 10-15 per cent. Now, growing appreciation for the craftsmanship and rarity of these vintage pieces is driving interest from collectors. Many Swiss manufacturers housed their watch movements in coins to prove their ability to miniaturise them. “In the late 1950s, a lot of advertisements dedicated to ultra-thin watch making had a coin watch, either open or closed, or both, on the visual,” explains Alain Borgeaud, heritage manager at Piaget. ![]() ![]() When Piaget unveiled its manual-winding 2mm-thin calibre 9P movement at the Basel fair in 1957, it put a certain timepiece front and centre of its display, and on the cover of its catalogue, to highlight the technical innovation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here we have defined a function clean_article_text(), which uses the re() module to clean the text by removing square brackets and their contents and replacing multiple whitespace characters with a single space character: def clean_article_text(text):Ĭleaned_text = re.sub( r’\*\]’, ‘ ‘, text)Ĭleaned_text = re.sub( r’\s+’, ‘ ‘, cleaned_text)Īrticle_content = clean_article_text(article_text) Text preprocessing is a key stage in natural language processing because it allows us to clean and transform raw data into a format that machine learning models can easily analyze.

He’s a devout and outspoken Catholic, who opposes abortion (making him an outlier in Hollywood) and disapproves of screen nudity in sexual contexts – ironically, given how little he wears as a masculine martyr in his two most celebrated roles. The actor’s ultra-conservative beliefs have lately become more widely publicised, which shines a backward light on which roles he’s been willing to take in the last 20 years, and who’s been willing to cast him. He also played Saint Luke in the 2018 drama Paul, Apostle of Christ, helping the film to moderate success with Christian audiences, and a global gross of $26 million. Easily his most prominent post-Christ role as been on TV, as an ex-CIA operative who’s assumed dead, in the high-concept CBS crime series Person of Interest, which ran from 2011-2016. Instead, he was offered villains, such as the disturbed patriot opposite Denzel Washington in Déjà Vu (2006), and other weird jobs, such as the alien warrior in the sci-fi B-movie Outlander (2008). In fact, Gibson was immediately proved correct.Ĭaviezel was a victim of Passion’s success, blackballed from respectable leading roles almost instantly. (It didn’t hinder Max von Sydow, Willem Dafoe, Robert Powell or Joaquin Phoenix that much.) But the intensity of that film’s faith-based ambitions – and Caviezel’s necessary commitment to it – set it apart in the industry’s eyes from every other treatment. The role of Christ, per se, is hardly the career-killer Gibson suggests. “I said, ‘We all have to embrace our crosses’.” “He said, ‘You’ll never work in this town again’,” Caviezel told a church audience in 2011. ![]() It was all leading up to Passion – a part which even Gibson warned him might close far more doors than it opened. He got to be Dennis Quaid’s disconsolate son in Frequency (2000), Jennifer Lopez’s soulmate in Angel Eyes (2001), and a commanding Edmond Dantès in The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). Caviezel is heavenly in the role, irreplaceable, and a huge part of why the film’s so special.Īfter that dazzling coup, the next five years were his oyster. Trying to guess the name actors jostling to play Witt could take us hours, and I can’t think of a single one who wouldn’t have ruined it. The character, a rebel angel who wants to be AWOL in Paradise, has to ascend to a plane of existence no one else can touch, while all hell is breaking loose. Jane (1997).īut the star-making moment – one of the magical casting feats of American cinema – arrived when Terrence Malick plucked Caviezel from obscurity to play the main character, Private Witt, in his intensely spiritual Guadalcanal epic The Thin Red Line (1998). He played Kevin Costner’s youngest brother in Wyatt Earp (1994), turning down a scholarship at Juilliard to do so, and was one of the Joes opposite Demi Moore in Ridley Scott’s G.I. Caviezel’s first screen credit, as an airline clerk, was in Gus Van Sant’s gay love story My Own Private Idaho (1991), when he was a 23-year-old acting student from Mount Vernon, WA, near Seattle. ![]() ![]() Yet Caviezel has now hit box office gold with Sound of Freedom, a faith-based child trafficking thriller that just opened in the US and made $14.2 million to the surprise of all.įew actors’ trajectories in the past 30 years have had a more peculiar shape. But if you’re Jim Caviezel, and the film is Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ (2004), it brings the normal part of your career – when Hollywood was willing to roll out the red carpets – to a startlingly abrupt end. If you’re Leonardo DiCaprio, in any other role, you probably win an Oscar for all this. You dislocate a shoulder en route to your own crucifixion, then hang almost naked in subzero temperatures for days, meaning you come away with pneumonia and a lung infection. During a flogging scene, someone’s aim misses and you are literally flogged. You’re struck by lightning while making it. Your acting is almost universally acclaimed. It’s the role of a lifetime – physically gruelling, emotionally draining. You play a Herculean leading role in a $30 million passion project, directed by one of Hollywood’s biggest names, which is the runaway success story of the entire year, grossing over $600 million worldwide. ![]() |
