That inspire, that I like, and that I hope you feel the same about
I just stumbled across The Guardian’s live music series “How I Wrote…” where musicians tell of the inspiration behind their top songs — and then perform them live in the studio. It’s quite a find and worthy of burning off at least an hour today. From Cee Lo Green, British Sea Power, Warpaint, Antony & The Johnsons, to Rufus Wainwright and Corinne Bailey Rae. It’s quite a collection.
You can follow them on Twitter to get the latest updates of course..
Andrew Garfield of course! In Spike Jonze’s short I’M HERE. A fine example of a brand (Absolut) financing art. Win win.
Everything old could be new again. I never truly liked this song, but now I have watched this video multiple times. Thank you Ye Li.
(and thank you Geralyn Dryfous for the tip!)
I thought Distraction was the common attribute that held our culture together. Maybe it is really anxiety.
But my fave I Love Charts, points out that these concerns rarely are as warranted as we might think.
Then again some things we should be MORE concerned about.
I am planning to go see Green Hornet, but now I am going to see it twice. Why?
Because: Seth Rogen loves our movie SUPER (you will have to wait until April Fools Day to see it), but check this out where Seth says:
“…”Super” is just so ballistic and insane… (laughs)… but I really liked it, too. You do watch them with a slight part of your brain just thinking, “Is this f*cking up our sh*t?” (laughs) .
I can see it on the poster already: “so ballistic & insane — Seth Rogen”.
I am forbidden to reveal how this was done and it would be wrong for anyone in the film to actually take credit. These things take months of planning. Most places forbid you from putting anything in the water supply — and I am not saying anyone involved in the film actually did anything remotely related to such action. Did you know though that there are already over 300 real-life Superheroes patrolling the streets of this great land?
And yes, sometimes they get their nose broken.
Who would have thought that the New York Times would be the source of such a great list?
This is a must read/hear.
I guess this means that the Mash Up is now officially a major art form 😉 !
