Chuck Norris Action Jeans.

Sweet baby Jeebus - I’ve been looking for a pair of jeans that won’t bind my legs during the more complex kicks.

“…objects and their functions no longer had any significance. All I perceived was perception itself, the hell of forms and figures devoid of human emotion and detached from the reality of my unreal environment. I was an instrument in a virtual world that constantly renewed its own meaningless image in a living world that was itself perceived outside of nature. And since the appearance of things was no longer definitive but limitless, this paradisiacal awareness freed me from the reality external to my self. The fire and the rose, as it were, became one.”

- Fellini describing his (psychoanalyst-supervised) experimentation with LSD in 1964.

It’s My Life — The Animals

How these guys weren’t more famous is beyond me.

Seconded. Eric Burden had a voice that cuts me right through, and a confrontational attitude that would have made him a star in ‘77.

490 things petermartin likes (as of 11/4/09):

All the posts that I’ve “liked” on Tumblr. Many inspirational, some fascinating, some marked “to find later”, and some that just made me smile. I think I’m going to redesign my Tumblr soon and incorporate the “likes” feature on my main design, as I easily get twice as much pleasure from the content I’m reading on here as the content I produce (increasingly less as of late).

16mm scan

Tomorrow night my friends will play their first show, and if an ebay seller doesn’t fail me (I’m waiting on a rush shipment of a replacement takeup arm belt), I’ll be operating a 16mm projector from the back of the room. Cartoons, educational films, war reels, 1920s absurdities…there’s a lot to take in. This one just arrived today; it’s a stag film from the fourties or fifties, what passed for porn back then. It’s clearly a period where people weren’t yet uncomfortable with being on camera, because it was such a new experience. In the cold light of 2009, it feels almost intimate and innocent. I’m not sure if this will make it into the full rotation (objectively it would probably come off as misogynistic, which is pretty much the opposite of what this film feels like), but I may utilize a second projector to run it in slow motion between reel changes. Visual turntables.

Dream Diary - 17/10/09 (via Olly Moss)

Olly Moss is a British illustrator who I’m somewhat obsessed with. His film poster reimaginings, his t-shirt designs, his Saul Bass homage poster for Lost, pretty much anything that he posts to his Flickr account. This is today’s post, a graphic illustration of a dream he had.

Pure talent.
