Brian Eno - "Cindy Tells Me" Tab
I bet this shot you back to learning guitar in middle school. I know it did for me. For some random reason I've listened to Brian Eno's "Cindy Tells Me" and "Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch one-hundred times this week. I cannot stop listening to them.It felt really great to type in those songs into Google +tab and break out the old acoustic. Man, I really miss my useless-pitch. Screw you and your perfect-pitch, Josh.
Give it a whirl if you haven't pick up your instrument recently.
Strum the actual tabbed chords here.
Nagisa Oshima
Also, been meaning to post a link to an article on auteurs.com about Nagisa Oshima - I've personally never seen any films by him, but after watching this trailer and reading this, I feel like I'm missing something...

Tadanori Yokoo
From Wiki:::
Tadanori Yokoo (横尾忠則, Yokoo Tadanori) (born 1936) is a Japanese graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker and painter.
Tadanori Yokoo, (pronounced "yoko-o") born in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, in 1936, is one of Japan's most successful and internationally recognized graphic designers and artists. He began his career as a stage designer for avant garde theatre in Tokyo. His early work shows the influence of the New York based Push Pin Studio (Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast in particular) but Yokoo himself cites filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and writer Yukio Mishima as two of his most formative influences.
In the late 1960s he became interested in mysticism and psychedelia, deepened by travels in India. Because his work was so attuned to 1960s pop culture, he has often been (unfairly) described as the "Japanese Andy Warhol" or likened to psychedelic poster artist Peter Max, but Yokoo's complex and multi-layered imagery is intensely autobiographical and entirely original. By the late 60s he had already achieved international recognition for his work and was included in the 1968 "Word & Image" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Four years later MoMA mounted a solo exhibition of his graphic work organized by Mildred Constantine.[1] Yokoo collaborated extensively with Shuji Terayama and his theater Tenjo Sajiki. He has also starred as a protagonist in Nagisa Oshima's film Diary of a Shinjuku Thief.
In 1981 he unexpectedly "retired" from commercial work and took up painting. His career as a fine artist continues to this day with numerous exhibitions of his paintings every year, but alongside this he remains fully engaged and prolific as a graphic designer.
