crime: piss on your dog

the other night, i finally got around to watching the cramps live at napa state mental hospital dvd that i've had sitting around since february, and there were a bunch of target video clips as bonus material. included was this video of crime performing live at san quentin prison...

The Quick

the cars: hello again

directed by andy warhol

animal dance

take a chance on me

the greatest pop act in history was more avant garde than you thought. this video is so great.

i can't tell if this is actually funny, or if i just think it is because i read blogs and newspapers all day long and i could use some sunshine and fresh air.

The funniest thing ever.... EVER!!!

Pete Doherty Fuck Forever acoustic Isle of Wight

he is a mess i know but let this clip play about a minute or so into it he regains the plot and it is wonderful.

Dorothy - I Confess

This was a sugary sweet pop single inexplicably released on Industrial Records, Throbbing Gristle's record label. I think it was the same year they released SPK's "Meat Processing Section" ep featuring a photo of a mangled penis on the cover.

Got my orange turtleneck packed.

homie who gives the intro is intense. anyone who challenges the idea of respect gets goblin sharked.

jean vigo, "zero for conduct"

i was talking to tc about this film the other night, since it reminded me of melody, which he screened at i-house. above is the famous pillow-fight-procession sequence. the film allegedly inspired lindsay anderson's film if, as well as key sequences from the 400 blows. its central theme seems to be childhood as a mix of chaos and liberation. vigo's story is pretty wild too. in addition to directing what may well be my favorite film of all time (1934's l'atalante), he was also the son of a prominent spanish anarchist who changed his name to sound like the phrase "there is shit!". vigo was possibly the least-angsty filmmaker associated with the early dada/surrealism scene. (ok, maybe duchamp wasn't too angsty either.)

The Rolling Stones Jumpin' Jack Flash 1969

i was born in a crossfire hurricane, etc.
