RED hands diary

Spent the day over in the dreaded western part of L.A., showing off the amazing footage to friends in Venice and then having drinks with Nial, who suggested that we put together a holding company as the first step to getting shit seriously organized. I like that idea and will now do some research to find out exactly what that means.

For my birthday present this year I bought myself the NUGGETS and CHILDREN OF NUGGETS box sets. They're both blowing my mind. More familiar with the former and it just goes to show you that when you think you've got the whole universe comfortably figured out, if you keep exploring and remaining open you get knocked on your ass. In a good way.

Nuggets is all about the outsider art of garage rock. It's all about how the outside is the way into the core and all that happy nonsense. Really fits with my theory about where cinema is headed, that cinema, because of the tech and internet, is reaching it's "garage rock" stage, as in filmmakers can now make movies for the same price, basically, that musicians in the 60s would have payed for all their gear.

Set up the M O N G R E L group page on facebook. Check it out and join so you'll stay current with all the physical/social manifestations of this art-media-gestalt. Love that people are joining. There's nothing wrong with joining.
