What’s Rape’s Brand? | Michele Mitchell | TEDxNavesink

Yes actually one good thing has come out of the accusations of sexual assault against Donald Trump. The 9 women (so  far) who have with courage spoken up of their non-consensual sexual experiences with Trump have role modeled for millions of women ad yes some men (myself included) who have stuffed experiences they have kept secret for many years or just yesterday. Many of us have been positively triggered to now speak out about what happened to us . This expanding collective act of self affirmation can have a very healthy impact on how misogyny and power is exposed operates in the sexual arena. And hopefully impact young people of what "rape culture really is .... i want to thank the women who have spoken up ..and now all can see what happens on an individual basis with women who have spoken up in the workplace etc. DTs response exposes one of the core reasons women and some men remain silent . Now it is out in the open ..let a million stories be spoken aloud. 

▶︎ One More Name In Nightlife | Dane Terry leaves town and drops a ditty

Before he jumped  on a  bus to Cleveland to find a little peace and affordable solitude to be creative, DANE TERRY dropped a little ditty to remind us that while he will be away for awhile, he will be back for the BIG NEW SHOW at PS 122 ...  send him some love and BUY the single ... Hey Dane ..Philly is just a hop skip and jump away .. it may be the last stop on the L train

▶︎ One More Name In Nightlife | Dane Terry


Here is a choice sample of the lyric

I've a roommate in my body and he's pacing all night 
hunting for the pieces of my formative might 
my eyes glow like numbers on the front of a train 
my mouth a stinking sheath of a busy blade 
I've a roommate in my body and he's pacing all night 
hunting for the pieces of my formative might 

We love Dane and want him back when he is ready!

This is what is happening to many young artists I know who just can not afford to live here and  be creative at the same time .. RENTS and COST OF LIVING is driving the very people who historically came to NYC to conspire and collaborate away ...  maybe the last stop on the L train is actually Cleavland .. thank god it is a round trip train.

The Age of Loneliness ... beautiful film .. about all of us who live alone ..regardless of age .. a fallout of the triumph of Capital

thoughtmaybe NEWSLETTER — OCTOBER 9, 2016

Anyone identify? it can happen at any age

The Age of Loneliness    2016 The premise of The Age of Loneliness is of how our communities and indeed lives have been completely subsumed by capitalism, leaving us alone in tiny units, solitary. Screen culture and technology is often blamed, but this is more an extension of a larger problem. The Age of Loneliness is exacerbated by this culture making us feel like we have no purpose. How many of us know our neighbours? How many of us even know the land where we live? How has this been destroyed, usurped? What of the nuclear family? With single parents in numbers like never before and families spanning across the globe, all of this poses much larger questions about paternity and the dominant model of relationships. Consumerism and commodification also plays a central role---make note of the screens, computers, TVs and dating websites in the life of the lonely. What's the common thread here? The Age of Loneliness is a film that spans generations, and can function as a call for all of us to reconnect with each other and the places we live for real. To turn away from the spectacle and instead build a better world, with purpose, meaning, friends and real community. Watch this film »

POST SCREENING Q&A   Toronto Film Festival 

Pylon Perhaps Americas most original Indie band circa 1980 ... ART ROCK FOREVER

PYLON sticks in my mind as the best  indie rock band in America circa 1980 .. art rockers from Georgia ,, first heard of them from Vic Varney, an Athens' musician ( method actors  live at hurrah)  who was acting as a roadie the first time the B-52's played Hurrah.  He told me about this other band from Athens I might like called PYLON. It is interesting how whenever I booked  a band from Athens someone in the band would mention another band from Athens I might light ,, I remember Robert Palmer, the New York Times music critic calling me and telling me he was going to name  a band called  REM  as having the single of the year and suggested I might want to think about booking them into Hurrah .. So I got on a plane with my then b/f Tom Hill and spent four days in Athens (Ga) . I had had some phone conversations with Dana Downs who with Vic took me and Tom  around to hear and meet bands, I had expressed that I wanted to see REM. But they were not popular with the art rockers of Athens.. Why? Because they played 'Frat Parties" on the campus of the University of Georgia and played covers "  (as well I should say as their own originals ) and were mostly self supporting as a band .(Small town University band art snobbery is how I heard this disdain) ,   One night REM was playing  the 688 in Atlanta and I wanted to see them. I asked if anyone was going .. Yes they were going ,,but to see the support band OH_OK with Linda Hopper and   Michael Stipe's sister Lynda Stipe. (Linda Hopper went on to form MAGNAPOP)  So we all piled into two cars and went to Atlanta. When Oh-OK finished its set and REM was about to go on , all my new Athens friends started to leave. I said I wanted to stay and see REM. They did not,,. So it was decided they would go over to see Paul Charles and his act STARBOOTY  (Charles' tribute to black 70's superstar PAM GREER starrbooty live . NOTE: Paul Charles is better known today as RuPaul) .and I could meet them at a club around  it was around the corner,  Tom and I stayed and were wowed by REM.  Their cover of one of my favorite songs in the American Songbook, (1984 REM Pale Blue Eyes') had me in tears,   Michael and I made a date to meet up the next day at an Athens coffee hang out that I think he worked at part time .Michael told me he wanted to intro me to some of the visual artists he liked in Athens including a Professor he studies with  (TBC!!!!) that made Tom  say he wanted to join us. Tom was a painter working as a busboy/waiter at VAN DAMS, a hipster/artist restaurant on Varick St, ,,, I also saw the mutual interest Michael and Tom had in each other.  (grr),  Next day we met up with Michael. Later Tom and I them went over to meet up with Dana, Vic and gang,   Starbooty blew me away l. and I remember the next day calling Bobby Bradley who was responsible for the Pyramid and saying he should book them .. Bobby knew of then and did. ... all of this is to put into context how small town-ish the Athens music scene was and how at the same time they always support each other until you got signed by a major .. (B-52's , Guadalcanal Diary (Watusi RodeoI I remember that Stipe mentioned Love Tractor (love tractor sewing your partner 1983, Dumptruck (Dumptruck back where I belong dir by Kelly Reichart  , the Basics and I met a young band five eight  . so  now you can put into context what PYLON members talk about in the documentary Athens Georgia INSIDE /OUT watch Athens Georgia INSIDE /OUT And why I got my butt over to the Monty Hall's music room (WFMU) in Jersey City to see hear PYLON Re Encountered .. a live project of Pylon singer Vanessa Bristol-Hay  ..with original members blessing blessing: bassist Michael Lachowski and drummer Curtis Crowe.  Vanessa spoke very sweetly of Randy who unexpectedly had a heart attack and died which meant the original a band would never play together again,
 It brought back many memories for me and the sold out crowd at WFMU's Monty Hall live music room Imagine a band tuning down an opening spot on a U2 tour ! They did !  GOOD NEWS A release of a lost tape found of the first swan song performance of the band that has been restored and remastered 

A performance when they were to me at the peak of their creative energy. 
What a band .. I loved them !

Interview with Ira Sachs about "Little Men":

Rather than my telling you about why Little Men is one of the most important films of 2016 and Ira Sach's is fast become the most insightful storyteller of contemporary NYC.  With all its contradictions bubbling subtly in a broth flavored with intellectual ideas and pinch of serious questions about social values. Visual beauty is  worn like a mink stole brought out on a fall day that has suddenly gotten colder than being just cool.  I have worried about boys and pre-adolescent in this contemporary world where kids learn far too  much digitally while real life confronts them the two boys in the film are like feisty  fauns learning  to stand on their own four legs,,, This interview took place at the Berlin Film Festival where the Teddy awards bring artists and programmers of world's lesbian and gay +'s   film festivals together  and awards then ., Sach's Keep The Lights On  won the Teddy Grand Jury Prize 2012

GENIUS staring Colin Firth and Jude Law as the legendary book editor Maxwell Perkins and the author Thomas Wolf

GENIUS : ......whew!

We went to a press screening of GENIUS director Michael Grandage .. and it reminded me of the time when publications and publishers had full time editors that actually helped writers, THEY STILL EXISTS BUT ARE A VERY ENDANGERED SPECIES .. GENIUS  is a bio-drama about MAXWELL PERKINS a legendary book editor who worked with Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Thomas Wolf .. the film  centers around the relationship between Thomas Wolf (Jude Law)  and Max Perkins (Colin Firth) . While Laura Linney plays Mrs Perkins and Nicole Kidman Wolf's paramour (knockout performance) it is what happens creatively and emotionally between these two characters and the actors playing them that me that had me riveted to the screen.   . Sparks of all kinds fly . TBC  opens June 10th 

Essential viewing : The Corporation if you are yet to vote in the remaing primaries . Please educate yourselves before you make your choice

 Now that Citizen United has given CORPORATIONS the same rights as HUMAN BEINGS it is important to understand just what a corporation is and how it evolved .. This documentary accomplishes teaching while entertaining at just the moment you might think you are drowning in data.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED  for all but of particular for those trying in the five remaining states with primary voters  to make a choice between Sanders and Clinton. Educate yourself and make an informed choice. I hope you will vote for Sanders. . But the choice is up to you.
