This is what You Tube is for!

I have been watching bleak portrails of the modern geo-political world lately. It is great. I would urge everyone to watch this film by Adam Curtis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Curtis ). It was shown on the BBC a few years ago under the title The Power Of Nightmares, and it's on You Tube as "The Neocons".

This is the introduction:

These are episodes 1-14:

It's quite a battering experience, but well worth it for the conclusion.

After that, watch his follow up film The Trap: What Happened To Our Dreams Of Freedom? which was on BBC2 a few months ago.

Episodes 1-7:

This is what you tube is for!

Whilst I'm on this recommending trip, I stumbled across a band called Human Television recently- they are good. And, twenty odd years late, I've just discovered Beat Happening. I'm glad I did. They rule.

Hopefully see some of you at some shows, come up and say hello,
