Here is a music video I made for Ariel Pink’s “Round and Round”, made entirely of clips of the film “Perfect”. If you like it, I would be thrilled if you’d pass it along! Thanks, Tumblors!

“

Eventually I realized I had covered the wrong story. The important point wasn’t that Exxon couldn’t clean up its oil spill. The point was, no one could clean it up.

By telling the story of the company’s incompetence, we had perpetuated the myth that real cleanup of a major oil spill is possible. We had left the industry free to say that next time, with proper preparation and equipment, they would be able to recover any spilled oil.

The truth is that when large amounts of oil go into the ocean, it’s a huge success to recover as much as 10 percent. More than that is rarely possible. Oil spreads too rapidly and reacts too quickly with the environment; and the ocean is a challenging place to work, especially considering the logistics of speedily gathering up a blob the size of a small state.

“Anybody who believes that sports cannot be an effective platform for social justice need only to have watched the game last night and they would’ve been forever changed. The broadcast alone last night, it started with one of the NBA reporters outside the arena covering a civil rights march that was taking place outside the arena. And then the in-studio hosts, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, Chris Weber, all former players, took turns taking shots a Governor Jan Brewer and the law. And Chris Weber, former player, even cited “By the Time I Get to Arizona” and John McCain and his former support for boycotting the holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King. So it’s politicized this entire arena. And what the Suns did yesterday, is entirely without precedent.”- David Ziran, author of A People’s History of Sports

Paul McCartney “Wanderlust.” Footage from the less-than-stellar film Give My Regards to Broad Street (1984). But, with Ringo and George Martin! The song, from the fairly good 1982 album Tug of War, is about his 1980 bust at Tokyo Narita airport for carrying 7.7 oz. of marijuana. He spent 10 days in jail and was subsequently deported. The lyrics may point to his suspicion that the pilot was part of the sting. Images of his stash can be seen in this vintage Japanese TV footage. More on Macca’s drug history here.

“Vibration” by Tom Dissevelt, 1958. “In 1958, Philips tried to make ‘popular’ electronic music. For a couple of years “room 306” of the Philips laboratory in Eindhoven was allowed to make records like this. It did not catch on. You could say they were 30 years ahead of their time…” Via Tom Moody.
