There's nothing like some good bonbons and a glass of cognac to make the evening complete.

I could just watch this over and over again. Make sure you watch it in HQ.

This is a documentary about...

2009-04-27T01:50:00.004+02:00

The documentary is moving along quite nicely. I'd like to share more details about it's contents but I don't want to ruin the surprise. Needless to say it will stay true to the series while at the same time probing new grounds. Hope you guys like the teaser.

Sayonara Tokyo...

2008-12-28T10:02:00.003+01:00

This song kept me going on the flight between Tokyo and London.

Geraint Watkins - Unto You

Hold on sir!

2008-11-28T14:37:00.007+01:00

Don't know if this is new or old but one thing is for certain, it is good.

Radiohead to toe

2008-10-09T10:30:00.001+02:00

After the Nude instrumental tracks were sold on iTunes so that you can make your own remixes the band decided to do the same with Reckoner. Here are a few from the top ten as voted by you. That's if you did go to the website to cast your vote.

Radiohead - Reckoner (A Deadly Syndrome Remix)

Radiohead - Reckoner (Baskfield Remix)

More to follow in the coming days...

No good deed goes unpunished!

2008-10-08T19:55:00.004+02:00

My favorite blog had some streamed songs up, and I jacked them so you can download them and listen to them whenever you want! It would be nice if you'd buy the vinyl when it comes out, but considering they're only printing 1000 copies I'm not going to tell you where to get them. "Then why the hell are you telling us?" Good question, I don't know.

Elvis Presley - Crawfish (Pilooski Edit)

Holger Hiller - Das Feuer (Pilooski Edit)

Richard Wright is dead...

2008-09-16T15:49:00.003+02:00

I was thinking about a song that would encapsulate the sheer emotion of this great loss. Oddly enough it was a song he himself wrote.

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky

And a few words from David Gilmour.

I come awake...

Summer is here!

2008-07-01T20:43:00.005+02:00

Today was officially the hottest day this year in the UK. so i was searching for what could be my 'Summer Track' and i came across a gem. It's by some guy who is trying to pawn it off as a Thomas Bangalter track (does sound like it could be, but unfortunately it aint!) .....still pretty slick. Samples Jacko's 'Its The Fallin' In Love'

'Thomas Bangalter wannabe' - Love

OLD SKOOL

2008-07-01T00:40:00.005+02:00

Remember when looking forward to your new pair of trainers were some Nike Air Max and not some trendy pair of plimsolls

The one about the meaning of life.

2008-06-14T13:41:00.004+02:00

On a chilly and rainy day I guess it's excusable to show this. That being said, I leave the rest to you.

Oh and here's a new Beck track to go along with it all.

Beck - Chemtrails

Sunny Explorers

From documentary to comedy?!?

2008-06-01T16:28:00.004+02:00

Rumours are spreading that 8 and a Half Productions are working on a new comedy script.

We will keep you posted when we receive more news...stay tuned!!

Bach vs Morricone

2008-05-26T14:54:00.003+02:00

I know it sounds far fetched, but using a harmonica really gives Air on a G string a very Morricone feel. Massive Once Upon a Time in the West flashback coming up!

Johann Sebastian Bach - Air on a G string

Ennio Morricone - As a Judgement

Bonus track:

Ennio Morricone - Jill's America

Captain Beefheart on Letterman

2008-05-24T11:15:00.005+02:00

Two back to back interviews with Captain Beefheart. Letterman is so out of his element, but hey don't let that ruin it for you.

Here's a song from his more accessible album Bluejeans & Moonbeams.

Captain Beefheart - Same Old Blues

Bergman + Fellini = ?

2008-05-23T11:15:00.003+02:00

I recently found out that Bergman and Fellini wanted to make a film together. As far as I know it never came to be, but I think the thought alone is enough to make you dream. Here's a clip from a interview where Fellini gives a few clues as to what it will be about. Bergman just sits next to him and smiles. Might be a good time to learn Italian since there are no subtitles.

What is love?

2008-05-22T23:15:00.005+02:00

I love how people in the 60's had existential problems, it generated a lot of arthouse films. Here's a short clip from Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville. Probably the best bit, so you don't have to watch the whole thing.

La Serenissima - updated

2008-05-21T11:15:00.005+02:00

The first time I saw this I was in awe. I guess YouTube isn't just an outlet for frustrated teens with webcams.

Rondo' Veneziano - La Serenissima

Gopo - O scurta Istorie

2008-05-20T11:30:00.002+02:00

Animation by Ion Popescu Gopo from 1957. It won the Palm D'or for best short film.

One of my all time favourites!

2008-05-19T16:45:00.003+02:00

Mr. President Captain Steve Elvis America fights the Mad Misunderstood Professor Evil Maniac! Need I say more?

A quick camera operating tutorial

2008-05-19T11:15:00.002+02:00

In film school we did this all day, or until we got caught.

Do you think this is gasy?

2008-05-18T15:45:00.001+02:00

I'll leave it up to you, but one thing is certain, I'm gonna start wearing a cape in the near future. And when I say near future, I mean some point between now and my untimely death. Until then...

The Seeds - Pushing too Hard

Man, what happened to the 60's?

2008-05-18T11:15:00.001+02:00

I know, rethorycal question. Oh well, at least we have archive footage!

Electric Prunes - Are you loving me more (but enjoying it less)

A quick one while he's away

2008-05-17T17:52:00.007+02:00

For all you weekend warriors out there, here's a song that you could play for your special lady friend. You know, your "Hello, I'm not sure you know but you're hot... wanna make out?" type of lady friend that you meet at the weekend. If she asks what the fuck is this, then just tell her it's a Cello! Cello! Cello!

The Who - A quick one while he's away (You are forgiven)

Throw it on your ipods.

The Roundabout

2008-05-17T11:30:00.000+02:00

There was once this band, suggestively named Yes, comprised mostly of second class musicians such as Jon Anderson (vocals), Steve Howe (guitar), Chris Squire (bass), and spastic key masher Rick Wakeman. Together they made music and wore cool clothes (for their time).

Yes - Roundabout

Fire... Jeff Fire

2008-05-16T14:30:00.004+02:00

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown was a psychedelic band from the 60's. Anything else is just superfluous.

And here's one to take home.
