Californication: Red Hot Chili Peppers

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

When I first moved to Los Angeles it was late in January, just at the beginning of a long, damp rainiy season. For some reason I had this CD in my car and I proceeded to listen to it for two long months of rain, gloomy skies, blowing palm trees, and trying to adjust to a new city. Californication is an amazing album which to me perfectly captures the essence of California and Los Angeles in all it's madness and beauty.

True Stories

First to recommend

Description

True Stories is a quiet little gem that came out in the 80's. Directed by and starring David Byrne of the Talking Heads, this satire/mocumentary is to me one of the finest social commentaires on Regan Era urbanization of America, the death of the small town, and the parody that our obsession with fashion and fame can bring into our lives. Oh. And it's really, really funny. With stellar performances by John Goodman (one of America's greatest character actors, imho) and Swoozie Kurtz, and a great soundtrack - True Stories is a must watch and a must have.

Arboretum

2 people recommended this item

Description

An art-book project by cultural muse, David Byrne. Says the New York Times, '“Arboretum,” a reproduced sketchbook of curious free-associative riffs in the form of evolutionary trees and Venn diagrams that he prefaced with a series of questions: “What are these drawings? Why did I do them? Will they be of interest to anyone else? Of any use? Do they need to be useful?”' (via New York Times)

Brazil

8 people recommended this item

Description

I try to see this movie at least once a year, as I grow older Brazil seems to make more and more sense - it is prophetic, and gives a great sense of perspective about the absurdities of our bizarre social norms. Personally, I think this is one of De Niro's most endearing roles...he's so NOT De Niro, but my absolute favorite perormance/character/message in the whole film is Katherine Helmond's (a la Who's The Boss) role as Ms. Ida Lowry. This movie is a classic for sure, and so very very Beep. (via gordon)
