Just finished watching
this:
Kubrick's a genius (he did Full Metal Jacket as well, and Lolita, The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey). Never seen a more ominous ending to a film than on this. In fact, the whole film's a mindfuck! Seriously though, watch it. Alex is completely captivating! Whoever said it shouldn't be watched is a liar, it's only like a very grown up version of The Prisoner. It won't screw you up, but it definately makes you think.
"I was cured all right..."

Can't wait 'til I can drive
So I can smash the windows playing this:
Eazy E and the 'Pac, fucking killing it.
The water's fine!
The 4 Toppers - Jump, The Water's Fine
Even better than old photographs; old music! This one's from 1940.
Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche
Italian pianist writing incredibly moving peices. This one translates to 'White Clouds', it's beautiful!

That shit ain't right.
How is Eminem better than Biggie?! Surely the people voting on this should have at least listened to Ready To Die before voting against him.
Watch this now.
Watch this now.

Gil Scott-Heron. His voice is like whisky and the Mississippi delta.

And it's also haunting and deep, deep dark.

"Can we just go on to the next video please?"
Whoever said American kids can't make the correct decisions clearly hasn't seen this! My new favourite YouTube series.
William's rad. And Dylan. And Morgan!

Nicholls got good music taste
MC Solaar. "The only notable French rapper during the 90s". I borrowed 'Cinquième As' from my French teacher at school, the inimitable Mr. Nicholls, and definately didn't regret it. Despite not understanding a large part of it (it's French rap, they speak quick enough as it is!), his flow and delivery vastly makes up for it, and from the sections I do understand, it's easy to see CA is a really poignant album. Similar to with Method Man and Redman's 'Blackout!', I find it really hard to pick a favourite track, but the title track ('Le Cinquième As') and 'L'Homme Qui Voulait Trois Milliards' (below) are pretty high up there.

(Broken that last one rather a lot of late thanks to the beginnings of hay fever. FH.)
An ordinary phone booth was transformed into an aquarium by artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino as part of the Lyon Light Festival in France.As the designers stated:
Saw this as a caption to a photo on the wall of a teahouse in Nepal, and it's probably the best motto I've seen. Living every day as if it's your last doesn't work, because it's a very very small chance it is going to be. Following this, you never stop being your own person, whilst moving away from negative things.“With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically colored fish; an invitation to escape and travel.”
A section of the solar disk recorded in 30mph winds at the Winter Star Party on West Summerland Key. The massive detached prominence was visible for hours.
