Masada String Trio

The Masada String Trio performs selections from the Masada songbook in a classical-cum-chamber jazz form. Personnel include Mark Feldman (violin), Erik Friedlander (cello), and Greg Cohen (bass).

The performing style is characterized by the use of improvisation (sometimes conducted by Zorn himself) and its use of the inflections of Jewish music that are part of the compositional language of Zorn's "Masada" themes.

This is a segment from D. A. Pennebaker's film, Don't Look Back (a documentary on Bob Dylan's tour of England in 1965). In the film, Dylan holds up cue cards for the audience with words from the song on them. While staring at the camera, he flips the cards as the song plays. Interestingly, there are intentional errors throughout the video. For instance, the song's lyrics say "eleven dollar bills," but the poster says "20 dollars". The video takes place in an alley behind The Savoy Hotel in London where poet Allen Ginsberg makes a cameo appearance.

Dr. Octagon: Blue Flowers

In my opinion one of the very coolest hip-hop songs ever made! Kool Kieth on the vocals and Bass Dan the Automator on beats and production and a wicked scratch solo by Q-Bert! Also a violin sample of "Violin Concerto No. 2, Sz 112" by Béla Bartok.

The video get's a bit bit weird at some point so be advised. Kool Keith is a pretty dark/goofy/messed up individual to begin with so it would not be too surprising if the director used some of Keith's input for the video.

The unofficial video that uses Dr. Octagon: Blue Flowers (Autamator Remix) is very artfully done and interesting.

Enjoy both.

Craig Welch: How wings are attached to the backs of angels

"Now Playing in the YouTube Screening Room: http://youtube.com/ytscreenroom Craig Welch takes viewers inside a surreal, meticulously crafted world to meet a mysterious protagonist and his otherworldly visitor. In this surreal exposition, we meet a man, obsessed with control. His intricate gadgets manipulate yet insulate, as his science dissects and reduces. How exactly are wings attached to the back of angels? In this invented world drained of emotion, where everything goes through the motions, he is brushed by indefinite longings. Whether he can transcend his obsessions and fears is the heart of the matter. A film without words. Directed by : Craig Welch. Produced in 1996."

Kid Koala Music Video's

Eric San (born 1974 in Vancouver, Canada, who records under the name Kid Koala, is a Montreal, Quebec based DJ and turntablist. He is signed to the British Ninja Tune record label, is a member of jam band Bullfrog and alternative hip hop supergroup Deltron 3030. He has also made appearances with many other artists from Amon Tobin to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and has made contributions to Lovage, Peeping Tom, Gorillaz and numerous other projects.

Biography

San graduated from Thomas Sprigg Wootton High School and went on to study elementary education at McGill University. He is well known for his enigmatic style of turntablism, which uses an unusual collection of samples. He has been known to use samples of music from Charlie Brown television specials, old comedy sketch routines (including those which mock turntablism), people sneezing, and people reading a menu in Cantonese. He is well known for his cheerful demeanor at concerts and having a good sense of humour.

San is also an illustrator and an artist, having designed all of his own album covers. A comic book he drew is included as the liner notes to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Following the release of the album, Kid Koala toured extensively, during which time he opened for some of his favorite artists, including Radiohead and Björk.

He has also released a full length graphic novel, Nufonia Must Fall, which includes a soundtrack CD he composed. Some of my Best Friends are DJs includes a chess set as part of the packaging.

This album was supported by a cabaret-style tour throughout North America, Europe and Australia known as The Short Attention Span Theatre, which featured an unpredictable opening act—3 Djs (Kid Koala, P-Love, and DJ Jester the Filipino Fist) on 8 turntables set up like a band, and a bingo game at intermission among other tremendously quirky surprises. Following this tour Kid Koala has performed DJ sets all over Asia, discovering new fans in destinations such as Iceland, Eastern Europe, Russia, and South America whilst working on a new book (apparently about a mosquito trying to play a clarinet) and a unique puppet show set to take place in 2008.

San popularized a method of playing the turntable like a melodic instrument, where a long, single note is dragged under the needle at different speeds, creating different pitches. Since this method of adjusting pitch is imprecise, the resulting notes waver and bend. Thus, in the song "Drunk Trumpet," San uses this method with a trumpet note to simulate a drunken trumpet player; interspersing drunken vocals to complete the effect.

San released a new Kid Koala album, entitled Your Mom's Favorite DJ (ZENCD127), on 25 September 2006.

As of October 2006 San was married and had recently embarked on a 90-city tour.

Kid Koala is currently touring as the opening performer for DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist's "The Hard Sell" tour.

Santana: Soul Sacrifice (Live at Woodstock 1969)

One of the most amazing performances from the Woodstock film. Santana's young Michael Shrieve pulls one of the most intense drum solos ever seemingly without effort.

Michael Shrieve is best-known as the drummer in an early lineup of Carlos Santana's band, Santana, and for his performance at the 1969 Woodstock festival, when he was just 20 years old (he turned 20 on July 6 of that year; he was the youngest musician to perform at the festival).

Rod Serling Interviewed by Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes 1959

Here is the infamous 1959 interview by Mike Wallace of the creative genius Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone.

"Some background from the webmaster: Censorship flourished in the Fifties as an outgrowth of the Cold War. Paranoia was in the National Interest, and Sponsors ruled the "new medium" called Television. They paid the bills and felt within their rights to suggest program content. Too young to know better, Television obeyed.

Rod Serling bristled under these restrictions.

He was the New Medium's most decorated writer, and its most controversial. Both because he dared to write about his strong sense of injustice—especially concerning race. Don't believe Serling's assertion that he intended no social relevance for Twilight Zone. He was protecting his investment. Rod Serling hated censorship and used fantasy to fool the censors into ignoring him. It worked for a while.

The following interview was conducted on September 22, 1959, on the 'eve' of Twilight Zone's network premiere."

Chris Marker: La Jetée

Wikipedia notes:

Summary

La jetée (English: The Jetty and The Pier) (1962) is a 28-minute black and white science fiction film by Chris Marker. Constructed almost entirely from still photos, it tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel.^[1]

In French, "jetée" means pier. When air flight was first introduced, airplanes would taxi up to a concrete walkway built onto the runway that was at the level of the entryway to the plane. As planes changed over time, airports were forced to change to movable walkways and staircases to accommodate ever-increasing diversity.

Plot

The survivors of a destroyed Paris in the aftermath of World War III live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. They research time travel, hoping to send someone back before the devastating war to recover food, medicine, or energy for the present, "to summon the past and future to the aid of the present." The traveler is a male prisoner; his vague but obsessive childhood memory of witnessing a woman (Hélène Chatelain) during a violent incident on the boarding platform ("The Jetty") at Orly Airport is the key to his journey back in time.

He is thrown back to the past again and again. He repeatedly meets and speaks to the woman who was present at the terminal. After his successful passages to the past, the experimenters attempt to send him into the deep future. In a brief meeting with the technologically advanced people of the future, he is given a power unit sufficient to regenerate his own destroyed society. On his return, he is cast aside by his jailers to die. Before he can be executed, he is contacted by the people of the future, who offer to help him escape to their time, but he asks to be returned to the time of his childhood. He is returned, only to find the violent incident he partially witnessed as a child was his own death as an adult.

Production

La jetée has no dialogue aside from small sections of muttering in German. The story is told by a voice-over narrator. It is constructed almost entirely from optically printed photographs playing out as a photomontage of varying pace. It contains only one brief shot originating on a motion-picture camera. The stills were taken with a Pentax 24x36 and the motion-picture segment was shot with a 35mm Arriflex.^[2] The film score was composed by Trevor Duncan. Due to its brevity, La jetée is often screened in theatres alongside other films; Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville (1965) was the film with which it was first released. In Region 2, the film is available with English subtitles in the La jetée/Sans soleil digipack released by Arte Video. In Region 1, the Criterion Collection has released a La jetée/Sans soleil combination DVD, which features the option of hearing the English or French narration.

Adaptations

• Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys (1995) was inspired by, and takes several concepts directly from, La Jetée.
• In 1996, the MIT Press released a book version of La jetée.^[5] It reproduced the film's original images along with the script in both English and French and is now out of print, ^[6] though it was re-released in 2008 by Zone Books.

Cast

• Jean Négroni as narrator
• Hélène Chatelain as the Woman
• Davos Hanich as the Man
• Jacques Ledoux as The Experimenter
• Ligia Branice as a woman from the future
• Janine Kleina as a woman from the future
• William Klein as a man from the future

Salvador Dali & Luis Bunuel: Un Chien Andalou

Surrealist artist Salvador Dali collaborated with Spanish film making master Luis Bunuel to create Un Chien Andalou, a fantastical nightmare of mostly irrational and fiendishly macabre images. Un Chien Andalou is one of the watershed pieces of early avant-garde cinema. The images found in this short film are horrific and frightening by any standard. Self mutilation and transforming body parts are merely the beginning of the non-linear mashing up of powerful and mind bending scenes. The film would also be a tremendous influence on later avant-garde filmmakers like David Lynch.

Radiohead: Just

Music video

The single's video was directed by Jamie Thraves, who was hand-picked by the band after they saw several of his experimental short films. It was filmed near Liverpool Street Station in London, and intersperses footage of Radiohead playing the song inside an apartment with scenes of a middle-aged man who lies down in the middle of the pavement just outside of the apartment building. People start to gather, thinking that something must be wrong with the man, and the band are shown looking out the window at the events below. A heated (subtitled) conversation between the man and the crowd develops, as the people start demanding to know what the man is doing and why he is lying there. In subtitles, the man finally gives in and says, "Yes I'll tell you, I'll tell you why I'm lying here... but God forgive me... and God help us all... because you don't know what you ask of me." The camera zooms in on his mouth as the man finally gives the answer, but the subtitles have suddenly stopped, so the reason is not revealed to the viewer. As the camera zooms back out, it shows the pavement covered with the crowd of people, all lying down just like the man. Radiohead members have yet to reveal what specific words the man was intended to have said, if any, and Thraves has said "to tell you would deaden the impact, and would probably make you want to lie down in the road too". The video is available on Radiohead's 7 Television Commercials DVD and the EMI released Radiohead: The Best of DVD.

Massive Attack: Karmacoma

Karmacoma is one of my very very favorite Massive Attack songs. It's got fantastic aesthetics of Dub/Reggae, Trip-Hop and Tricky does vocals as well. The track is on the album Blue Lines. It has also been done beautifully by a string quartet tribute that I don't recall the name of. A very artfully done music video worth watching.Enjoy.

Wiki Analysis:

"Karmacoma" is the promotional video made for the single of the same name by British trip-hop collective Massive Attack. The experimental musician Tricky who collaborated on the track, also recorded his own version of Karmacoma, renamed Overcome for his debut studio album, Maxinquaye. It premiered in May 1995 and was directed by Jonathan Glazer. The bass line sample featured is the same bass line used by Serge Gainsbourg in the song Melody from his 1971 album Histoire de Melody Nelson.

Description

The video shows a hotel corridor and the occupants of the rooms along the corridor. The band are in one of the rooms accompanied by Tricky and an actress. 3D, Daddy G, and Tricky are all dressed in uniforms that say "Texmex" on the front. Mushroom is sitting on the couch with a hand on his stomach, where he apparently has been shot and his shirt is bloody.

The rest of the occupants are shown intermitently throughout the video, and are all engaging in eccentric activities. Some of the scenes cross over from being weird to being supernatural and magical.

* A man is in the corridor, holding a gun in one hand and a plastic bag with something in it on the other. He's walking backwards and pointing the gun at everything he sees, in a clear state of paranoia and distress. He's sweating and mumbling under his breath, desperately attempting to memorize the room numbers for reasons unknown. At several points he is menaced by two mysterious, identical twin girls (an homage of the 1980 film The Shining), and at one point he glimpses a double of himself, pointing a gun at him.
* A man with long, unkempt hair and beard is sitting in his room, staring directly into the camera and speaking in a dazed manner. "I am a... dangerous person," he announces at one point. Later: "All those guys I killed... nothing personal." (He bears a strong resemblance to the man with the gun from the corridor, although it is unclear if they are actually intended to be the same person.) At the video's end he tells the camera, "I want to be free... and I am free."
* A man in one of the rooms is covered with oil among cameras and mirrors, apparently performing some sort of bizarre artwork.
* A middle-aged man with a moustache is in a room with two women dressed in red satin robes. He asks "Who's gonna be a bad girl, then?". One of the women answers apathetically, "I am".
* A boy watches tv news in which the journalist covers his half face with his hand. The boy repeats what he sees. As this is happening, a woman dressed in campy, old-fashioned clothing is talking on the phone about the boy.
* A man plays golf in the corridor.
* A man attempts to drown a miniature copy of himself in a bathtub.

Censorship

Some of the scenes in the video were censored in some countries and a second copy of it was made that excluded them.

* The man with the moustache stands on top of a mattress and sticks his tongue out. He has a big pointed piercing in his tongue.
* The actress that accompanies the band is resting her head on 3D's shoulder. She then lifts her head, looks straight into the camera and blood spills from one of her nostrils.
* The man with the gun passes along another version of himself, the second man points the gun at the first. Cut to a different angle, where the first man is alone and pointing the gun where the second man was a second before.
* The man covered in oil is shown with his index finger stuck inside his stomach. He slowly removes it until it's all out, without leaving a wound or a hole of any kind.

Analysis

The video is full of homages to other filmmakers, particularly Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining, including the eerie twins, the obsessive typing of a single phrase and the shots of long, eerie hotel corridors. Also, the suited woman with the black bob is reminiscent of Mia Wallace, Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction, particularly with the inclusion of the nosebleed. The man at the typewriter resembles Henry, Jack Nance's character in David Lynch's "Eraserhead" - particularly with his haircut, although aspects of his scenes also recall the Coen Brothers film Barton Fink.

Massive Attack: Angel

As cliche as it might sound, I don't give a damn, Angel is one of my very very favorite Massive Attack songs. It's on the Pi soundtrack as well as Massive Attacks own album Mezzanine. It has also been done beautifully by a string quartet tribute that I don't recall the name of. Enjoy.

Now I'm not really a fan of standard pop music/culture but this fly bird does sing a different tune. She breaks those boundaries and happened to become famous in teeny bopper circles. So don't judge me cause I think this album if fuc#ing phenomenal! So dig it.

Cab Calloway & Betty Boop - Minnie the Moocher (1932)

Plot: Betty Boop runs away from home with her friend, Bimbo the Dog. They end up in a cave where a walrus, with Cab Calloway's voice, sings "Minnie the Moocher" and dances to the melancholy song. He is joined in the performance by various ghosts, goblins, skeletons and other frightening things. Betty and Bimbo are subjected to skeletons drinking at a bar; ghost prisoners sitting in electric chairs; a mother cat with skull-like eyes feeding her equally empty-eyed kittens; and worse.

Propellerheads: Spybeak! (Alice in Wonderland Video Edit)

An interesting mash-up of the Propellerheads track Spybreak! with the TV musical version of Alice in Wonderland from the 1985.

Proppellerheads: History Repeating (feat. Shirley Bassey)

This is a cool black and white video for the British electronica duo Propellerheads featuring the amazing vocalisms of jazz diva Miss Shirley Bassey (sang the Bond theme songs for Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever and Moonraker). As far as I can tell it is being performed live which makes it even cooler. This track also comes from another one of my personal favorite albums as well Propellerheads: Decksandrumsandrockandroll .

Josiah Altschuler: 14 Rivers, 14 Floods (Beck Cover)

14 Rivers, 14 Floods is one of my favorite Beck tunes. It's a raw and gritty blues from the album "One Foot in the Grave".

This video is of Josiah Altschuler performing 14 Rivers, 14 Floods on cello Live at Cafe Nomad 1/4/08. Enjoy. Check out some other songs of his songs here http://cdbaby.com/cd/josiahaltschuler.

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss: Rich Woman

This has got to be one of my top 5 albums that I own (Raising Sand)and needs to be in your music collection if you have an sort of an appreciation for folky blues. This is an absolute all-star group led by Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant and the bluegrass beauty queen Allison Krauss. Also on the album is the HIGHLY under rated guitar virtuoso Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Medeski, Martin and Wood),T. Bone Burnett, Riley Baugus, Jay Bellerose, Norman Blake, Dennis Crouch, Gregory Liesz, Mike Seeger and Patrick Warren.

The video is one that someone on YouTube put together. I hope you dig it and put this masterpiece into your collection. Enjoy!

Gillian Welch & David Rawlings w/ OCMS: The Weight

One of the VERY BEST renditions of the classic The Band song "The Weight" as done by Gillian Welch & David Rawlings join by the Old Crow Medicine Show live at St Luke's in London as an encore.

Rodney P: Trouble

This track Trouble samples the classic Bob Marley song "No More Trouble" and Rodney P adds his own flavor and spice to make a very original piece.Rodney P is a very cool UK MC that does Reggae fused hip-hop. His album The Future is wonderful and he does many guest spots you should really check out. Enjoy.

Gil Landry: Lawless Soirez

Gill Landry performing "Lawless Soirez" at Safari Sam's Hollywood Ca. 7/1/07

Portishead: Only You

This is one of the most beautiful music video's I've ever seen. The video was filmed in giant water tanks and the air bubbles were all digitally removed in post production. Another masterpiece from director Chris Cunningham. Hat's off to you sir!

Fatboy Slim: Don't Let the Man Get You Down

A funny tongue in cheek video made for the Fatboy Slim song "Don't Let the Man Get You Down" about a racist asshole named Don. Enjoy.

Shannyn Sossamon: Gap Commercial "Boys Who Scratch"

Mmmmmmm one of the loves of my life, the beautiful Shannyn Sossamon. This is a super cool commercial that Gap made with DJ's Shannyn Sossamon, Rob Swift & Shortkut in 2001.

Nine Inch Nails: Closer (Star Trek Video Edit)

This is an absolutely ingenious video editing of old Star Trek footage depicting a homoerotic relationship between Captain Kirk & Spock to the tune of Closer by Nine Inch Nails!!! Laugh your ass off and enjoy!

The Chemical Brother's: Elektrobank

Spike Jonze's music video for The Chemical Brother's song Elektrobank starring Sofia Coppola. This song has one of the sickest sub-bass lines ever! It just booms! If anybody remembers Kerri Strug's Olympic performance in 1996, you'll get a kick out of the gymnastics coach and one of the final shots of the video. Also notice at the end when the camera closes in on a photo of two people in the trophy cabinet, it's the Chemical Brothers. Enjoy this super cool video.

Aphex Twin: Come to Daddy

By far one of the most FU#$ED UP videos I've ever seen. The Aphex Twin has been long known to be strange, unique and his own genre. Here he teams up with legendary director Chris Cunningham to make a dark and grimy surreal world with midgets that all have the face of Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin).

Music video

The accompanying music video (released in October 1997) was directed by Chris Cunningham and filmed on the same council estate where Stanley Kubrick shot many scenes in A Clockwork Orange.[1]. The scene is shot around Tavy Bridge Shopping centre, Thamesmead , which is now being knocked down[when?]. Many of the Dark underground car parking is now gone.

The video opens with an old woman walking a dog in a grimy, industrial setting. The dog urinates on an abandoned television lying on the sidewalk, causing it to sputter unexpectedly into life. This unleashes a poltergeist from the set, accompanied by a set of small children (all which bear the face of Richard D. James), that constitute the inhabitants of the abandoned buildings. The children go around wreaking havoc, such as trashing an alley, and chasing a man into his car.

At one point, the monster (played by Al Stokes) is birthed out of the television and screams in the old woman's face. After this, he gathers the children around him in a manner reminiscent of a scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.[2]

The acclaimed music video was voted 17th Greatest Music Video Ever by Q Magazine Readers, and one of the 100 Greatest Scary Moments by E4 viewers.
