Director Martin Scorcese sat down for a four hour interview with Fast Company and made so many movie references throughout that the magazine compiled all of the movies mentioned into one alphabetical list and then included a postscript of that film's relevance to Scorsese and his work or Scorsese's own feelings on that particular film. What Fast Company ended up producing was an 85 film master class provided by arguably the greatest film director that's ever lived. What's most interesting to me is the number of Robert Altman movies mentioned, which could be an [...]
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE VIDEO seijun suzuki is my favorite song of Blue Scholars last project, "Metropolis" is great to see equally awesome visuals, attached to the dope sounds. This video was filmed in Los Angeles on October 15 and 16 during the Southern California leg of the Cinemetropolis tour. We had been talking with our guy Jon Jon Augustavo for over a year about collaborating on a music video sometime before he finishes film school and blows the f up. [...]

From the students at The Film School of Scottsdale Community College who brought us Portgual. The Man 's first ever video for AKA M80 The Wolf back in 2006, we present their video for P.TM 's "So American". Much more abstract than the original , their video includes disintegrating cops, burly beards, hipster color schemes, pools of milk and lead singer John Gourley in full make-up, which creepily mirrors Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka in the 2005 remake. Also, Gourley is rocking a clean shave - he must be too busy to realize we finally [...]
Hello, all. What's shakin'? I've been burning the midnight oil to get through the last of the summer releases. This is the best of the lot. A little something here for almost everyone. I'll be back soon with a few surprises. As always, thanks for reading. Out...

It's been some time since I've posted on this blog and I am happy that topomodesto gave me the opportunity to put together a mix. In the face of algorithm driven mix generation I hope that there continues to be interest in crafting diverse listening experiences. What may start as a matter of convenience easily translates into common practice. Collecting and orchestrating music samples into coherent ideas may be perfected by professional dj's, but I find my interests don't take root until I search out the connections between songs and artists myself. And this invariably leads [...]
Film School 101 highlights overlooked aspects of film and television to enhance your understanding and appreciation of the screen arena. // Words: Saam Das This (short) history of computer-generated characters in movies starts with its beginnings in stop motion animation, popularised by the likes of Ray Harryhausen before focussing more heavily on the likes of Industrial Light & Magic upto WETA Digital 's work on 'Avatar' . Watch below. [...]
It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest, because it has been unusually cool, and even rained (which almost never happens in the Bay Area during summer). One of the best things about summer is taking trips to the beach. We're blessed with being only a [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest over the past week. But the unusually cooler temperatures, and even rain (which is almost non-existent in California in summer). Nevertheless, the rest of the country is enjoying the summer, and it'll soon be returning to these parts. [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

![FENECH-SOLER – Demons (Alan Wilkis Remix) [B-Unique Records]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3345676_lg.jpg)
It's those opening chords/keys that smash-it-home folks! The words Jacques, Lu and Cont seem to enter my brain on the intro melody alone and continues unravelling towards a world of low tempo, part disco bliss and indie soulful beats. Included also is another awesome example of Alan Wilkis's craft on the Heartful Of Pentagons track - 'Film School' - plus a Fenech-Soler live video of 'Stop And Stare' to wrap things up nicely. Now that's tremendous! Fenech-Soler - Demons (Alan Wilkis Remix) by Alan Wilkis [...]

Tweet Sometimes Noise Pop Festival lineups aren't necessarily about Noise Pop as an entity. In fact, my very first Noise Pop show was in 2007, and I wasn't even aware that the Noise Pop Festival had been going on for years - I just wanted to see Spinto Band. And I did. And it was fun. Day 3 of Noise Pop 2011 featured Film School, Apex Manor, Gregory and the Hawk, and Melted Toys at Cafe du Nord . Stylistically, you can [...]
