some more helmut’s in the pipes

we will never have enough of helmut’s! well, that’s great because taschen seams to be soon  releasing a book of his polaroids, not the ones that are already in an other book, those ones were the test shots, with comments written on it. it is said that helmut’s wife june was never giving them away and was trading shots to everyone, even people on set wanting a “souvenir”. i read somewhere else that they used to give them away to some of their guests writing their names on them for diners table seating… anyway, a book is in the pipe. by pp.

social distortion: short film premiere

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

quote of the day

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
