while we are on that topic, here’s another great clip. more than the song, i love the way they move in the first 50 seconds, so damn breezy and cool. just standing, their feet never move. i’m practicing this starting tomorrow morning… coffee and cigarette in hand. by dd
wow! just look at those girls in the back dance away. who dances like that? makes me wanna get my white boots on. this one is for nigel. by dd
ah what an amazing song, paris summer, originally by lee hazlewood and nancy sinatra. here it is again by the last shadow puppets, with alison mosshart. amazingly done. by dd
hilarious clip from the movie “sleep with me”. my favorite part however, remains to be the rap about the party though…“what is this party? who are these people? they make me sick. what is that? who are you? who ARE you? what is he wearing? some kind of like a dance jump suite, freakish, little guacho, lets go to spain and dance with our arms over our heads…” by ar
not sure what’s better, the film or the comment on the post: “woman dresses, smokes a cigarette, talks on the phone and runs down to a bridge to get penetrated by an extremely long boat.” – jens fuckin’ hansen

nothing new, but one of the many william klein films with his wife peggy moffit. i met him over lunch and have worked with him for many many years. he is and has been an inspiration and not to mention a lovely person. saw this clip and it made me want to share it. by uh
is it dance? is it art? is it life? is it a dream? whatever it is, it’s the first 3d movie/film i’ve anticipated the arrival of. too many performances missed at BAM. finally, a bridge away from inconvenient early evening viewing times and to ‘the masses’. is this the sort of democracy we want? all we can do is wait… and see. ps.props to poppy. by kl
another beautiful film, this one on the russian mariinsky theater (kirov) by filmmaker bertrand normand. both films are worth a watch for anyone remotely interested in the observation of man as a being… i always said if the aliens come here one day, they’ll learn more about “man” in observing the french gardens and ballet rather than silicone valley or nasa. i think herzog would agree with me on that. by dd
great song, wish i could say the same about the video… oh well, ladies and gentlemen, lars and the hands of light. by pp+dd
so cal rock and roll veterans social distortion recently released a music video for the song “machine gun blues” from their new album “hard times and nursery rhymes“. this isn’t just a music video, it is a short film based on a fictional bank robbery in la circa 1934. i think it’s great to see such a core band putting themselves out there by making more than just your ordinary watch-the-band-play music video. it’s a nice production that tells a story. by jr
