Some say this is the weirdest Beatles’ cover EVER! We wish they sang on our corner every weekend.
Thanks BoingBoing!

The creator of Where The Sidewalk Ends, The Giving Tree, and other classics, had a few choice nuggets that he hadn’t yet aired by the time his time expired. Check it out.
We recommend opening another tab and letting it play while you look at BowlOfNoses. Go to the songs section of the website and just let it play. And then get the grownups to order one!
I moved to NYC because of Lou Reed and Martin Scorsese. They were my young man gods of creation.
Yo La Tengo first album came out my second or so years ago. I think I have listened to all of them and have most of them. I’ve put their songs in my films. I did one video for them back in the day (with Hal Hartley). They scored ADVENTURELAND (which featured the idea of Lou Reed along with some of his songs).
And through all that Alex Chilton, Big Star, and The Box Tops played consistently on my stereo(s).
This definitely sits in the “wish I could’ve been there” bin of my time on this earth. I should’ve and could’ve but… well you know how the song goes.
hat tip: Neil Marks
Was it the semi-narrative, the accusatory question (How does it feel?!), the multiple meanings of the chorus, the propulsive rave up, or just the great tune over all, but how many songs manage not to just stick for decades but rise to the pinnacle of great rock songs? And then to get the namesake and the creator together in their fifties still rockin’ it before multiple cameras and a giant swarm of fans loving every minute.
It’s definitely entertainment:
(hat tip to Amos Poe for this one!)

8-Bit Stop Motion Trip With Legos
Wow. Four things we like that taste great together. Don’t you just love putting stuff in a bowl and mixing different ingredients together and just experimenting what it might taste like? Well, this is not that, because they clearly knew what they were doing taking the 8 bit video game look, mixing in Legos and animation and backing it with some great computer generated music. Pure fun in our bowl.

R.I.P. Mink
Before I ever came to NYC I spent quite a bit of time dreaming of doing so. I wanted it to be a world where everyone was as cool as Mink DeVille. He definitely gets some of the credit for moving me off the basic R&R focus and onto the wild and diverse turf that is American music. Now, having realized our loss this week, I realize I have missed all the great stuff he did after those first few albums. I may have to start to buy music again!
I think “Stand By Me” is one of the greatest pop songs ever written. It should be mandatory cover material. Willy does it proud.

Do More With Less
When we were first trying to figure out how to make a lot of movie with a very little bit of money, our MO was to boil each scene down to it’s single essence. Or at least try to. Why fill it up? Why not strip it down instead? What was it that the movie truly couldn’t live without? Was the scene about plot or performance, beauty or energy, humor or emotion? I think this video could have helped us a lot…
Thanks to Matthew Ross for the tip!
