the pros and the cons...



audio:



i first heard Toronto's Constantines around 2002 through a DVD for the MichiganFest of the same year and fell instantly in love.

any band that can blend the rugged intensity of Fugazi or NoMeansNo with startling wit and beauty just fucking needs to be recognized, and, at least in indie circles, they have.

look for their new record "Kensington Heights" out later this month on Arts & Crafts.

Love In Fear
Arizona
On To You
Nighttime, Anytime (It's Alright)

Constantines.ca
MySpace


visual:

"Brazil (1985)"



if this isn't my favorite movie ever, it's definitely at the upper half of my top five.

Terry Gilliam has a vision and humor like no other.. and perhaps it's the way so many of his stories end up reminiscent of another of my favorites, Cervantes' masterpiece "Don Quixote".

who knows what makes any man tick, really?

newsish:



an addendum to the above, check out this article on Gilliam at Cineleet.
