Passport Photos

Recently had to get a new passport and thought I'd recreate my first, debonair passport photo by wearing similar clothes. 2000 / 2013 That's what 13 years does to a man. Happy Friday the 13th!

Also: digital pictures are lame. I miss even the bad photos from the real photography era.

Here's another mix of soundtrack and library music from my collection. I made this one because of some exciting new editions to my computer that haven't been issued in the States, or anywhere in some cases. They include the opening piano music from Jacques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating, two tracks from movies Joseph Losey made starring Dirk Bogarde, two tracks by Toshirô Mayuzumi, the title music from Georges Franju's Eyes Without a Face, and the below song from Milos Forman's Loves of a Blonde.

Some more chroma key fun, this time from the 80's...

Youth 68

SOS 1

This is the eternal hard drive that's done most of the heavy lifting during post-production. It speaks to me like the car in Knight Rider. And lately it's been through some shit with the space heaters and circuit breaking in my house. Here's to you little buddy.

The Muppet Musicians of Bremen

This 1972 program of the Brothers Grim story really disoriented me as a kid, and revisiting it I can see why. The people's faces are eerily realistic and its creepy the way they jump around, appropriate for a story where you identify more with the animals. It left a strong impression on me, and I remember going through a phase where I really wanted to track it down. That was before youtube, and now that I'm reading Brian Jay Jones excellent new biography of Jim Henson I looked it up. Tadow! It's here. Funny how it's from way before I would've seen it. I thought it was going to be from the 80's.
