This is a steal...

The makers of "Steal This Film" literally want you to steal the film and watch it, pass it around, or change it. If you like it and want to support them that is up to you.

Enjoy, it's a cool little film.

A game in town like this...

The song playing under the "Lost Vegas" images this week is by "Corb Lund & the Hurtin Albertan's" from his new amazing CD called "Losing Lately Gambler" .
Ten years ago I met Corb at a magazine launch for a magazine that I had shot George Plimpton for the cover and he was doing an acoustic set by himself. I asked if if he would let me use some of his music for my first film that I was working on at the time called "Marymount Again..." . He let me use a great song called "The Oldest Rhytm" for the epilogue that I edited for the film (for free!). Since that time he has established himself as one of Canada's great singer songwriters and is beginning to break in the US with this latest album. Support him by buying his music and go see him live if he is playing anywhere near you, you won't be disapointed.

Thanks for everything Corb,

The Free "Hall of Fame"...Winona Rider.

Back in 2001 Hollywood actress Winona Ryder proved that she was ahead of her time in the world of "Free". She was accused and found guilty of taking
$ 4,700.00 of merchandise and clothing from Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hill. Not recommended to the kids out there but worthy of a spot in the FREE "Hall Of Fame".

Congratulations.

The best things in life are FREE...

3FREE MP3's

My favorite place to download "legal" mp3's is garageband.com . The bands are as good and usually better than the music on mainstream radio in my opinion. *Warning-they are not all gems.
Today I am linking to 3 artists who have songs titled "Free" that I liked. Check em out if you have some time...click on the link and type in the word "free" above the search box and you will find the following (and a lot more !!! )

1- "FREE" by Ave.nue (New York City)
2- "FREE" by Julie Kim (Toronto)
3- "FREE" by The Real Outsiders (Atlantic City)

These are my twisted words...sorta ?

So if you go to Radioheads excellent website at http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace/ you can download a new song the band is giving away called "These are the twisted words". The five and a half minute song is not typically what I enjoy listening to but is an interesting piece musically. Predominantly instrumental with very few lyrics. What I thought was cooler with the download was a PDF of "artwork" that accompanies the audio file. (see image above). The file contains about 12 pages of black and white images of leaveless trees that look similar to a series I shot a while ago.

Check it out when you have some time ?

Payer ce que vous voulez !

I was in my hometown of Montreal this weekend for a photoshoot and I was walking along Crescent Street when I noticed the "Pay what you want" sign at the Taverne Crescent. It's cool to see the concept spread to different types of businesses. Another reason Quebecers are referred to as a "distinct society". Bonne appetite and don't forget the tip ?
