The Savage Eye (1959)

[cj @chronowerks]

@moralfagging idk about everything he's been doing lately but i love all of the lo-fi anti-folk stuff he was doing in the early 2000s and his album Em Are I when he started recording with a real band

[cj @chronowerks]

the thing is: i was listening to this sort of stuff at the time because i was really into Jeffrey Lewis in high school and it was super easy to find mediafire links to all of the bands he mentioned in his History of Punk on the Lower East Side

[cj @chronowerks]

Hipster music would be Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, La Monte Young, Tony Conrad, John Cage, Harry Smith's Folkways recordings, Henry Flynt, The Holy Modal Rounders, The Fugs, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, and some Lord Buckley.

[cj @chronowerks]

it might be the single most formative youtube video i ever watched tbh

they should let me take over, i was born to run a maoist themed cult that mostly focuses on bothering people and running bookstores

[Bandit ☭ 🔻🌸 @Bandit161_]

Random thought. What happens to RCP when Bob Avakian dies?

[cj @chronowerks]

don't let these clips fool you though, the music in this movie is BAD and it keeps coming at you nonstop the whole time. there's also ton of furry stuff and the fact that it's not a dirty cartoon like Fritz makes it all feel way more perverse

[cj @chronowerks]

Shinbone Alley (1970) would've been better if they showed it in 8 minute segments on the cartoon network to confuse children instead of as a G-rated(ish) Fritz the Cat type of movie. but a few of those segments were genuinely great, like this one:

@_drivingman i like to imagine the small group of pop stans that will end up getting into french theory and noise music because of this whole thing

[cj @chronowerks]

actually i love how long it takes for my 2015 macbook to render a file from a cracked version of ableton 9 because it gives me more time to pace around the apartment bothering the cats

[cj @chronowerks]

A Thousand Clowns (1965)

[cj @chronowerks]

the best part of Paris Blues (1961) is when Louis Armstrong does a run in on Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier's band to challenge them to a jazz battle

[cj @chronowerks]

not that i'm surprised, he and i go way back

[cj @chronowerks]

Travolta really gets this whole beatnik revival thing

[Variety @Variety]

John Travolta reveals he owns 12 berets and explains the reasoning behind the look:

"I said, 'You're not an actor unless you're really a director. Why don't you dress like one?' I looked up, to affirm I was correct, all the old-school directors, and they all had berets and sometimes glasses. It was cliché in a wonderful way."

beautiful day for the start of the rooftop weightlifting/cloudwatching season
