Roosevelt Way

This is a great independent movie (series) from a group in Seattle.

Night of Adventure

This short film is a clever take on the absurd situations that you find all the time, but are forced to believe, in movies.

This is a great song that will probably be available for a limited time. Check it out while you can.

website

This song is a clever send-up of those overly fanatical of their favorite band. Dan Le Sac's catchy tune makes him worth keeping an eye on.

This classic book by Lewis Carrol is definitely the sort of thing every person should read. The Disney movie doesn't do it justice, so don't make any judgments until you've tried the original.

1984

George Orwell's amazing book about a dystopian future; 1984 is a must-read novel that will make you take another look at society today, and all the things that seem to be coming true.

website

Shoot The Piano Player

The quality might not be the best, and the dubbing into English might not be preferred, but this is one of the greatest movies of all time, and I can guarantee the price is preferred (free, that is). It's Francois Truffaut's classic 1960 gangster film, feature length.

A streaming video from a concert. Not sure where this was, but the three songs come across really great.

Popeye: Fight to the Finish

Back when cartoons could be darkly violent and funny at the same time, also when the heroes' motives could be somewhat at question), there was Popeye.

website

Ghostland Observatory (live set)

This clip from the SXSW Music Fest is what made me become a big fan of this band. It's a little long, but throughout it's great. The music isn't quite rock and it's not quite dance.

The famous play by Samuel Beckett is a must read for anyone interested in great storytelling. Afterwards, you'll be amazed at all the references you'll hear to it in pop-culture.

website
