I saw this movie with Nick - it’s amazing! Please make sure you don’t miss it (Should be on IFC)

NY Export: Opus Jazz … I saw this great NYC dance movie last Friday night (thanks Rob!) at the new movie theater in Williamsburg on Kent. The movie made me grin like a child and laugh out loud - truly amazing talent captured on film. Best of all, many scenes were straight out of my neighborhood.

קרולינה - הבלדה על אביר החופש ובת גלים

This is such an awesome song, such a good summer feel and vibe.

Beck’s Record Club (Liars, St. Vincent & Os Mutantes) - Never Tear Us Apart (INXS cover)
I love Beck’s Record Club. I like that this creator is just so talented that he can “afford” himself to follow his curiosity and experiment, thus indulge us with his creations.
We should never stop being curios and experiment.

"It will contain all the news on every sphere of human interest, and the news organized. There will be articles on politics, books, sport, scandal, science, society, and no article will be longer than 200 words … [It would] serve the illiterate upper classes, the busy business man, the tired debutante, to prepare them at least once a week for table conversation."

This sums up most of today’s media startups, too.

Roger McGuinn - Ballad Of Easy Rider (Live At The XM Studios 05/27/2004)
“And another one gone…”
I don’t know why, but sitting in this horrifyingly corporate hotel in the beautiful, yet touristically conquered Prague, I feel real sad for Dennis Hopper. Something about the American and Western imperialism which has taken it’s toll on this beautiful city makes me long for his rebelliousness.
He took part in four movies which have changed the way I look at cinema and film making, and may, in a way, made me the film connoisseur that I am. Those movies are “Rebel Without a Cause”, “Easy Rider”, “Apocalypse Now” and “Rumble Fish” (“Rusty James”).
I can still recall the exact place and moment in time when I saw each of them.
This song from the movie “Easy Rider” seams like the right way to say farewell.

Skip James - Devil Got My Woman
I like songs which take me to other places.
This one puts me on a rocking chair in the backyard of my grandparents old house, hours after a big dinner. Lights already out, but some of us are still hanging around in the dump air of the summer night. Listening to crickets, drinking white dog or just any old alcohol from the cabinet and talking philosophy, the kind who finds itself dissolving when the skies turn purple.

James Brown - “Mind Power” - The Payback. This is, without question, the best and longest monologue by JB in his catalog. There is barely any singing, just effortless stream of consciousness.
“If you don’t work, you can’t eat.”
Seriously, who else can even get away singing about the connection between self-esteem and job or how mind power can combat starvation and make it authentic? Genius.
