I saw another video like this just the other day, and it's funny, the first thing I thought about was how I'd feel if I were a parent and I was seeing my child. I'd like to think I'll be enough of an open-minded father not to freak out, but I dunno.

i think the event did a good job at raising awareness, time will tell.

I went to a showing uptown and it seriously felt like the Church of Al Gore. I didn't stay for long.

There's a lot of negative things you can say about this but still, in the end I think people need to associate positive, enjoyable things like this with environmentalism, and to that end I think it was a success.

HAHAHA, awesome.

A while? I've been playing clarinet for 10 years now and I still don't know what I'm doing.

whoa this is awesome

hot damn this looks badass

^ same

Also see "What is Burning Man?" on the official website and the essay it links to with the same name by Molly Steenson.

It's about a week long, and yeah there are a lot of people running around naked and drinking -- but that's not necessarily the norm or what it's about. I probably can't do a much better job of describing it as I've never been myself.

Basically there's a ton of art, performance, dancing, music, food and about 30,000 interesting people -- the kind of people who think dragging out their best art, performance, dancing, music and food into the middle of the desert for everyone else to enjoy is a good idea.

Yeah, laid back but confident. I really dig her -- thanks for the link.

I think it's really pretty but it doesn't seem to line up w/ the music very well.

They could be filming it in reverse and pulling it really fast off his face w/ fishing line or something? Look at the elevator one especially.

Anybody seen Primer? You have to engineer your way out of that one.

hellz yeah can't wait for Volta

Going tonight :).

High Contrast

I've played clarinet for 10 years -- I studied music for a while in college and play with the wind ensemble at my current school.

I played a little tenor, alto and soprano sax off and on in high school. While I was a music major I spent some time with flute, oboe and bassoon though I'm no good on any of them (except bassoon, but my skill is largely imagined).

I might hit Bonnaroo this year if I can spare the cash. I'd also like to make it to the Winter Music Festival one year too.

link?

Mr. Invisible is a local hip-hop duo, this is what they sound like on an album.

RIght on, thanks.

Mr. Invisible: Charlotte, NC born and bred.

hi-rollers: Greensboro, NC.

The folks at Trekky Records are generally pretty talented too. Also Greensboro, NC. I haven't experienced much of their newer stuff but Mortar & Pestle was solid, I thought.

Thanks!

Though I can't find Atlatl or Interracial Dating anywhere still hosted.

Yeah I'm digging her too -- first heard her through a free iTunes single.

Some of these are older than 25 years.

But Steve Reich.

No one mentioned Wondermark, Dinosaur Comics or Boy on a Stick and Slither.

When the opening music played on Serenity, as the ship was entering the atmosphere, was one of the best cinematic moments I've ever experienced. I think it was the anticipation.
