This is by now a forgotten classic, but it needs to be preserved in this forum for all posterity: Chris Matthews, on Hardball, reveals the utter ignorance of a Republican talking head.
Absolute musical extravaganza must-see. Incoherent pseudo-English lyrics. Vintage 1973. A Mefite thinks Adriano Centelano’s show-for-the-ages is a precursor to rap – I’m unsure – only if you place it as a convergence point of scat and soul-funk. Whatever. It’s fucking awesome.

In Japan, weird people are running in slow-motion. Truth is beauty, beauty is truth, and that is all you need to know, children.

This extraordinary work of video art is actually a collaboration, if you will, between artist Jeppe Hein (who created the installation at the Royal Festival Hall, South Bank, London, in 2007) and a musician called longcat on YouTube, who lives in London. Longcat filmed this video during the “Appearing Rooms” sequence of June 20, added a piano improvisation of June 3, and manipulated the video’s speed to correspond.
Since 2007, Jeppe Hein (Copenhagen/Berlin) has become an internationally-regarded installation artist whose work questions the relationship between the artwork and the viewer. He is currently slated for a 2009 exhibition at Madison Square Park, New York City, however we can’t find any additional information on it at this time.
