“Remember four three zero.”

[J2kawa @J2kawa]

坂本龍一は学生時代、「武満を殺せ」というビラを武満徹の演奏会に乗り込んで撒いていた。
そこに武満徹本人が現れたが、怒るでもなく、武満はしっかりと坂本の話を聞いてくれた、と。結局３０分ほど立ち話をしたが、その内容がとても印象深くて、坂本龍一はすっかり感動してしまった。
一方の武満は「面白い若者がいてね」と彼の存在をむしろ喜んでいた節があった。
数年後、新宿のバーで二人は再会したが、武満は
「あの時の、ビラ撒きの君だね」
と坂本に声をかけてくれたそう。

かっこよすぎる。武満徹になりたい。

This is insane.
This 2006 Coca Cola Ad directed by Nagi Noda, with music by Jack White, aired just once. This is all shot on film in a single take with no CGI, all the snapshots are all real similar actors standing still.

If you thinks he’s mad now about casting Helen of Troy, wait till he finds out how many racially inaccurate people have played Jesus in Hollywood films.

Writing a play in style of Samuel Beckett about a military leader who could neither keep a secret nor his mouth shut, who talked so much that war never ended. Eventually leader turns into a reflecting pool. Calling it “Krapp’s Last Dump.”

Few men could end 8 wars, win another in 30 seconds & still have time to watch this much TV

Isao Tomita, 1980. The Moog III wasn't an instrument he bought. It was one he assembled, module by module, sound by sound. The Japanese composer who proved the synthesizer could hold the weight of a full orchestra.

All set to watch Shawshank Redemption for 1000th time, but sound on airplane not working. Could replay every line in my head from memory but can’t imagine watching film w/out hearing Morgan Freeman & Tim Robbin’s, seems weird

I am against men and presumably women brushing their teeth in public restrooms at the airport, why haven’t culture wars reached this outrage?

[Akira Mizuta Lippit @alippit]

Oh, and just because you’ve started one war doesn’t mean you can’t end it a hundred or more times

Although i don’t really know Taylor Swift’s music whenever I hear it I think I’ve heard it before & then think maybe I have, and then almost always how much I’ve always liked it.
