Brian Eno - And Then So Clear

The Monks

Greatest Simultaneous Guitar Solo



From Wiki--

The Monks are a garage rock band, primarily active in Germany in the mid to late sixties. They reunited in 1999 and have continued to play concerts, although no new studio recordings have been made. The Monks stood out from the music of the time, and have developed a cult following amongst many musicians and music fans.

Artists to have acknowledged the Monks as an influence include Henry Rollins, the Beastie Boys and Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, as well as The Fall. The latter covered both "I Hate You" and "Oh, How to Do Now" on their 1990 album Extricate (under the titles "Black Monk Theme Part I" and "Black Monk Theme Part II", respectively), as well as the song "Shut Up!" on their 1994 album Middle Class Revolt. The Fall have also covered "Higgledy-Piggledy" for the Monks tribute CD Silver Monk Time.

From Wiki -

Everything Will Be OK is a 2006 animated short film by Don Hertzfeldt. It is the first chapter of a planned three-part story about Bill, the main character. Hertzfeldt is currently in production on the second film in the series, titled I Am So Proud of You, which is due for theatrical release in 2008.

Everything Will Be OK won the 2007 Sundance Film Festival Jury Award in Short Filmmaking, a prize rarely bestowed on an animated film. To date it has won 36 awards, including the Grand Jury Award for Best Film at the London International Animation Festival and the Lawrence Kasdan Award for Narrative Film from the Ann Arbor Film Festival. [1]

Despite the film's short running length, "Variety" film critic Robert Koehler named Everything Will Be OK one of the "Best Films of 2007". [2] The film was extremely well received by critics, describing it as "essential viewing" and, "simply one of the finest shorts produced over the past few years, be it animated or not." [3] [4] The Boston Globe called the film a "masterpiece" with the Boston Phoenix declaring Hertzfeldt a "genius." [5] The short film was a cover story on the Chicago Reader, receiving four stars from critic J.R. Jones.

Outside of theaters, the movie is currently available as a limited edition DVD "single", exclusively from Hertzfeldt's website, http://www.bitterfilms.com . The DVD features an extensive archival area of deleted scenes, Don's production notes, sketches, and layouts, as well as a hidden Easter Egg that plays an alternate, narration-free version of the film.

Another Message to the Homeless: Fuck You, Eat Shit, Etc..

"Hello, Bad Idea? Meet my good friend, No Idea. I expect you two will hit it off real good-like."

Some might already be well familiar with this gem of a gem, but to me it's a fresh of breath air. So before taking me for a complete lout, please try to make it to the very end of this train wreck:



If this ages as well as doo-wop, we're in for an astonishing treat 50 years from now.

But now, not so much.

I'm sure you elitists reading this are thanking the Gods of Irony above for blessing you and only you with the finest of discernments, and I can't blame you...Not. So. Fast.

It doesn't take a cross of the legs and a dash of a scarf to find this music retched -which it most certainly is - but if you shut your eyes it's really no more foul than something that would stir the heart of a normal suburban 11 year old girl. Or some variation of a psychotic Orlando-area stage mother.

So the disaster lies not just with the music itself, big surprise. There are actually bigger issues with the picture.

This is what one gleans, if you're stupid enough to glean from a music video:

1. Hobos still look like they did in the 40's.
2. Orange skin, Anime hair, and scratching tha mahfuckin dope outta air-turntables will most def woo "the bitches", yo.
   
3. Here lies a vision of a place where near-lethal doses of recreational drugs will put your head, gestures, ideas, wardrobe, et al....
4. Some people find madness perversely interesting. Here is sad proof that alot times it is not.
5. The vague implication that middle class black kids in Old Navy sweaters stalk babes (babes that return his glances)on a beach (with a bizarre addition of the shiny body builder?)could be mistaken for yet another case of Children Raping Adults.
6. Women love a man who know how fight for camera time.
   
7. That this video was pitched not by a living, breathing, my-children-could-go-hungry-any-day now human being, but by some sort of random script generating application on B4-4's manager's fingerprint-stained laptop, after being dropped and marinated in a New Jersey pool polluted with semen, steroids, MDMA and Rohypnols. And then fished out right before the big meeting with the suits.
8. Leave it to the Yukon to give the world Gay Wiggers. Gee, thanks again Canada.
   
9. Magical Viewfinders are usually in the garbage for a reason. If your sadistic goals at addressing homelessness have evolved from setting them on fire to now to merely inspiring them with utter despair, then by all means hand them said Magical Viewfinder That Transports You To Shittier Places. Sunny climes where attractive women go for clueless dipshits that resemble not one, but two, versions of the bully from The Karate Kid and Marisa Tomei graced with a five o'clock shadow and enormous shoulders...
   

..so, it must be asked:

Who's idea of a fantasy is this anyway?

Escapism is intended to take one's mind away from the realities of their awful situation. Not make it worse.

With all that said, I find the REAL tragedy in not being able to see what ensues after TMV is generously handed off.


Lovingly,

Terrence
