I've been reminiscing about hardcore and the role that it had during my youth, and while going through Youtube looking through videos of bands that I enjoyed this live set by came up. The footage is from 1982, and by this time the DC-formed, NYC-based group has released their debut self-titled, cementing their legacy as one of the greatest hardcore bands of their era.
These performance in the now defunct CBGB is legendary, as you will see., making their set a brilliant show of musicianship. What also makes the video enjoyable is how the band and the crowd just seems to be in sync with each other, it is really something you must see to believe. Enjoy the video!
A couple of days ago I was surfing Youtube watching a bunch of live music performances when I stumbled on . The roughly 60-minute french film first started by introducing as to how the English Skinhead movement began - I was immediately hooked. It then continued into explaining how the , eventually spreading to Paris, France. In the 80s these racist and fascist Skinheads caused terror in France through violence, targeting mostly immigrants. The situation eventually became so bad that the youth began organizing a group called the dedicated to stopping the Skinheads through series pre-emptive strikes..
Because the film is narrated through the statements of mostly Skinhead Hunters it doesn't particularly tell a well-rounded story, but it is a pretty entertaining one. The Red Warrior's tale is one that could easily fit into a Hollywood action film, particularly because of how much conviction these guys had in wiping out the Skinheads, and the fact that they were all trained and proven martial artists gave it an extra oomph. Click and watch the film.
Ever since I stepped in on the third floor of in Kemang, I've set my eyes on a record with its sleeve doning a woman holding a guitar with a cigarette in her mouth. The woman, , is , but her tendency to avoid the spotlight also makes her a mysterious, unknown character A personal favorite singer of mine, I finally chalked up the money to purchase the album titled and needless to say it was money well spent.
Karen Dalton is known to avoid the spotlight, preferring performing in front of an intimate audience of acquaintances rather than strangers, and this intimacy can really be felt in her albums. In 1966, (the label that reissued this record) unearthed , for a gig. (). In the songs you can hear both the discipline and focus that comes with practicing, and the care-free performance (particularly in Dalton's voice) in playing this music without a formal audience.
The opener, Tim Hardin's "" (whose most popular version is, perhaps, by Mr. Rod Stewart), really sums up Dalton very well - it is sweet, reserved without having to hide her vocal abilities, warm and rich even with the minimal instrumentation. Take a listen to the clip above and enjoy her music.
A short animated film that debuted itself in the beginning of 2012, is a film by that puts the ordinary in the spotlight. Apparently (From reading this Wikipedia page) inspired by Doyon’s childhood in Quebec, the short revolves around a particular sunday a young boy experiences. . That is the basic premise of the film, and the quirks presented via Doyon’s hand-drawn animation gives this short a very charming feel to it. Watch out for the behaviors of humans and animals in this film, the exaggerated size and speed of certain objects, and the fantasy elements Dimanche contain. A very charming short.
is one that will always intrigue me no matter how many time it is told. This relatively new musical genre has empowered the community it was born out of and has made itself a global culture. An aspect of hiphop that has become its most popular is the MC, and as a man who loves the artform Ice T has made it his mission to discover the many different perspective in hiphop. As you can probably tell from the image above, Ice T has many notable guests ranging from the architects, innovators, to the current torch-bearers.
Now, the story of hiphop has been told many times and any fan of the genre will probably have a general idea of its origin. What makes so special is due to the plethora of guests, the film manages to show that hiphop music is filled with a wide-range of opinions and perspectives. We see how Nas considers rebellious because it goes against what is considered “proper”, how Rakim and Chuck D are very methodical in writing rhymes, or how spiritual the music seems to be for Doug E. Fresh. Other than the guests the film’s structure is what to be expected (how it began, why hiphop is important, where it is going) and Ice T makes for a gracious host.
