watched this shit for the first and only time last night.

my dog posted it in his story and be being the acolyte of Bonz Malone that i claim to be; i jumped over to ebay to secure me a copy

When reading the synopsis I thought the film to be more of a politically charged experience. it was fiery but not how i expected it to be. they did the best they could with the tools they had and the club scenes were mildly exciting BUT this shit was more of a love story than i ever cared for.

I recommend better mus come & maybe a couple other films but def looking to cleanse myself of this watch

Stepping Out From the Chorus

Stepping Out From the Chorus

Back in late September, as I headed into the Grand Army Bar in Brooklyn, I wondered if I’d remember what Isaac Butler—writer, long-time theater blogger, and director—actually looked like. The first and only time I’d met him had been more than four years earlier, on July 11, 2011. At that point, I’d been writing for Culturebot for about a year and Butler’s blog Parabasis was a must-read. While…

Darcy James Argue's Secret Society "The Neighborhood" - advance track from new album Brooklyn Babylon

Brooklyn-based composer-bandleader Darcy James Argue and his innovative 18-piece bigband Secret Society will release their highly anticipated sophomore album, Brooklyn Babylon, April 30th on New Amsterdam Records. The follow-up to their critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated debut, Infernal Machines (2009), Brooklyn Babylon shows Argue “expanding his sonic palette as never before” (Tad Hendrickson, Wall Street Journal). Weaving together progressive jazz, early-American popular styles, Balkan folk musics, and the sounds of Brooklyn's diverse contemporary music scene — from the dance-punk of LCD Soundsystem and experimental indie rock of Dirty Projectors to Missy Mazzoli's blend of post-rock and quirky minimalism — Argue creates a vividly evocative musical narrative that is at once timeless and unlike anything heard before. Brooklyn Babylon was conceived in collaboration with Croatian-born visual artist Danijel Zezelj, whose narrative inspired Argue's mash-up of musical styles. Zezelj's artwork places the action in a larger-than-life, mythic Brooklyn, where past, present, and future coexist. Plans are afoot to construct an immense tower — the tallest in the world — right in the heart of the city. Lev Bezdomni, a master carpenter, finds himself torn between his personal ambition and his allegiance to the community when he is commissioned to build the carousel that will crown it.

“This weekend, the Brooklyn Academy of Music presented a new work of originality, power, and beauty that left an audience slack-jawed.Brooklyn Babylon is a collaboration between the graphic novelist Danijel Zezelj and composer Darcy James Argue, and it is destined to be considered a classic of the evolving genre of multimedia performance. 

Brooklyn Babylon is based on a narrative series of paintings byZezelj, animated using a stop-motion technique something like that ofWilliam Kentridge’s hand-drawn films.  In the story a master carpenter, a single father with a small daughter in tow, is summoned to the office of the mayor to receive an offer he can’t refuse: to build a carousel atop the highest tower in the world.”
