The American Dreamer (1971 Dennis Hopper documentary)

"This is a documentary on Dennis Hopper in 1971 when he was finishing The Last Movie in Taos New Mexico, and subsequently losing his mind. It’s amazing, it’s disgusting…mostly it is just insane. He carries guns while rambling off his own self-tailored esoteric wisdom, he walks naked through nuclear neighborhood, he is a guru to a harem of young beautiful wanna be actresses. Be sure to forward to 1:13 where he explains his “sensitivity encounters”. And he looks amazing in this film… He may be losing his mind, but he does it with great style. Dennis Hopper is a true American…An American Dreamer."

Tarkovski interview part 2

"Andrei Tarkovsky on art, kids, silence, and time. I love Tarkovsky. Is there a filmmaker even close to his talent alive today? I recently was out in Arizona and I took a bunch of mushrooms and went on a hike. And I thought about this YouTube clip for a long long time (and I am writing this list while sitting in a V of a beautiful tree)."

Artist Robert Irwin, the 2009 Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medalist in Architecture

"The artist Robert Irwin discusses his evolution as an artist, and in the process breaks down the history of modern and post modern art with a lucidity that is mind bending.

Robert Irwin is one of my absolute favorite artists. If you haven’t already read Lawrence Weschler’s book Seeing is Forgetting the NAme of the Thing Ones Sees, do it now. The book is a collection of conversations with Irwin lasting over thirty years. "

Good, good stuff from High Wolf and his Japanese friend Masaki Nakazawa, a (soldout) split cassette and (stillavailable) digital download on Winged Sun.

Also, check out High Wolf's great album Etoile 3030 on Spotify, if you havee.

High Wolf sez:

"Masaki Nakazawa, from the amazing band Topping Bottoms, is easily one of my favorite guitarists in the world. I just spent one month touring Japan with him, saw him play almost every day, jammed with him numerous times. What I can say is when he plays it's like his japanese tatoos take life and every ghost from ancient Japan, every kami is summoned. Winged Sun is more than proud to release his first solo piece ever. A side long reverb desert blues with haunting percussion, reminding me of Sun Araw's "The Phynx". You'll be pleased you discovered Masaki's music because he'll make great things. And I love this guy.

High Wolf shares the tape with one long 15 minutes piece showing a lot of range. It's starting with the furthest exploration of his dark side ever put on record (spent too much time with Annapurna Illusion), then turn into a psychedelic jam sounding like we're back at pharao's times and we have those fucking pyramids to build and concludes with a totally stoned improvisation, mainly acoustic, with a good dose of spiritual music and a spirit of tribe communion.

Maybe the best winged sun release so far, trust me on this one."

the Black Lips' mixtape for Rcrd Lbl from last week: still right/NEW WEEK - 'Atlanta's Black Lips have become rock 'n' roll's id. The unrestrained group produces memorable songs that span eras, yet always exudes the sense of true danger and rebellion that has been so crucial throughout the genre's history. We couldn't think of a better band to guide you through the grimier side of contemporary music. Check out the Black Lips' mixtape featuring the blistering garage of Ty Segall, Vivian Girls' snotty bubblegum, a deep cut from Deerhunter and an entry from the late, great Blood On The Wall.'
