a visual collective outlet of inspiration
comparing them to david bowie is a bit outrageous, but they were ok for about 30 minutes. i had the first album at some point in time. by dd
clips
the cars, the strokes, pulp and of course mister jarvis cocker
nice cover of the cars “just what i needed” by jarvis cocker and julian casablancas of the strokes, who seems to be porkin’ up. i guess rock stars should not be allowed to get fat, unless they’re elvis. oh, and… lets lay off the curse words people, it makes you all look like eight year olds. jarvis on the other hand, elegantly rules. by ar

instrument: 10 years with fugazi a film by jem cohen
the film covers the band from 1987-1996. the project mixes sync-sound, 16mm, super-8 video and a wide range of archival formats. a must-see for any one who looked at a skateboard in the 90’s but couldn’t afford one. you can purchase the dvd here for $16, now that you can afford. by xy
Lost book found: Jem Cohens film on New York
came across this film from 1996 (super 8/16mm) and found it beautifully soft and eloquent. quite amazing. reminded me of rosselini and early antonioni, except this talks about my city. you can read more about jem cohen here. by xy

SEX, DRUGS AND SWINDLES: boogie woogie a peak at the cordial art world
a cast of characters (including a stint by charlotte rampling) devouring each other in a small world awash with big money. set against the backdrop of contemporary London and the international art scene, it casts an eye over the appetites and morality of some of its major players.’ saw the film finally tonight, and it’s a hilarious and observant film. if you have had any contact with the art world in anyway, you are bound to encounter a stereotype of one in here. a “must be considered” film to be sure. by dd
giant impact theory: origins of the moon or how the moon came to orbit the earth

prada: this fall’s creatures
Prada AW11 Campaign Film from F.TAPE on Vimeo.
ok, so i first saw this fall’s little fashion film for prada with the introduction about how sexy it was, i was not impressed with much more than the coloring. but i must say, i love a different approach to sexiness; slow movement, extreme delicacy, and being in your own world. worth the 1:19 of your life. by kl
Gia Coppola: for opening ceremony
