“It takes a really special type of genius to create new genres and explore musicianship in undiscovered ways. You really have to march to the beat of your own drum. Lee Scratch Perry is one of those innovators. And my guys at Supreme recognize that. So we made a short film on him. This one was a little bit different than what we usually do. It was really about patchworking all this really fantastic footage into a digestable story. We wanted you to feel what Lee is all about in a couple minutes and hopefully learn a little something about him. I certainly did working on this project.” Jake Davis
The 60’s and 70’s will be classically celebrated as the best years in music for decades to come, even possibly forever. For recently passed away photographer, Jim Marshall, his life’s work precisely documented these historical figures at the right time, right place, time after time. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the stories that went along with these photos.
I was cleaning up my music folder the other day and pulled aside a few of my favorite covers. Unlike Andrea who has the Amoeba system all worked out, I rarely buy CD’s any more. Yea I will purchase some singles here and there from i-tunes but thats about it. In the transition from vinyl records to CD to MP3 downloads, the art has gotten smaller and smaller, while with the progression of art has gotten better and better. I wish i-tunes would give you larger art when you purchase a song. I guess that would make me happy.

I have only listened to the first 2 songs so far, so the verdict is still out. This article from billboard says “Congratulations includes a frenzied psychedelic surf-rock cut about Brian Eno; a creepy instrumental whose title, “Lady Dada’s Nightmare,” plays off a certain of-the-moment pop star; and a trippy, 12-plus-minute track with a loose theme about surfing the Arctic Circle off the coast of Russia” a “decidedly weird nine-song follow-up” to their very successful 2007 debut, Oracular Spectacular
This is a movie about great guitarist, inspiration, and creative force. I grew up on that early U2 stuff and dove in head first when I really discovered Led Zepplin. But I am constantly impressed with Jack White, not only as an exceptional musician but also an artist of genuine thought and inspiration.
