This is a teaser for a documentary in production on the Australian ocean pool culture in Sydney such as the famous Bondi Icebergs swimming club. We’ll hear from the many characters who frequent these unique to Australia pools and why they visit them year round.

http://www.vimeo.com/10962683I had this idea last week of floating through the city so I called Eelco yesterday and we made it happen…sorta…
This was our first try, we’ll probably do it again cause I see a lot of things that can be improved. A stabilizing system would be nice of course but then again I kinda like the roughness of the shaky image and don’t have any money…. This was shot between 23:30 and 00:20 yesterday, I think next time we should do something like 4am on a Monday morning when there is literally nobody on the streets.
“This shot of Jimi was taken during a soundcheck at the Monterey Pop Festival, 1967. Jimi was playing to an empty arena — or, more accurately, to himself. I was one of the official photographers and, for some reason, everyone was at dinner except Al Kooper, Jimi’s band and crew, and some of the other stage hands. I approached Jimi and told him my name was Jim Marshall — that I was one of the photographers. He made some comment like, ‘Far out, man, maybe this shit is supposed to be,’ and I asked what he meant. He said the dude who made his amps was named Jim Marshall, and smart-ass me says, ‘Yeah, I know that.’ But then he said, ‘What you don’t know is that my middle name is Marshall.’ We were all pretty stoned (the amp Marshall wasn’t there), but there were three Marshalls onstage at once.” - Jim Marshall February 3, 1936 – March 24, 2010

NY-Z Directed by: Danny Clinch. Beautiful NY imaging and combinations film stock, all cool except for the Absolut marketing crap.
“……Take your favorite artist, the one you look up to and see as the perfect specimen of talent, values, output, whatever the case may be – and someone else has a reason why they’re not worth even a passing glance. Is “Bob Dylan: Don’t Look Back” the documentary of a genius iconoclast or was he a self absorbed pseudo-intellectual bully? It depends on who you ask. Is Jay-Z the reigning king of hip hop or is he “all business” now? It depends on who you ask. I bring up both names because if you ask me, I put them at the top of my list of people who can do very little if no wrong at all, but it won’t take long to read someone’s opposing point of view. If you’re not sure of what you love, that means you can be talked out of it, and that’s a slippery slope……” - JM One Forty Plus

RIP Remix Manifesto is a documentary I saw a few weeks ago about the current copyright issues in the entertainment industry, more info here. You can watch it here for free. It’s pretty cool, if you’re interested in music and how things are regarding illegal sharing ect. it’ll be worth watching
Annual party at Maaps place, 5 bands playing in his living room… beer… friends… can’t get much better than that. Note the look on Tim’s face when some dude passes by at 1:10… priceless. Bands that played: Waking The Dead, The Shining, Nekromantiker, Turbo Torture and Intumescene.
You probably already know this song of new indie sensation (hype hype hype) TV on the Radio, but I just watched the music video of the song “Wolf Like Me” and thought I’d share it with you guys. If it’s only because of the rhythm-guitar player’ epic afro beard. Peace.
