À propos de Nice is a 1930 silent short documentary film directed by Jean Vigo and photographed by Boris Kaufman. The film depicts life in Nice, France by documenting the people in the city, their daily routines, a carnival and social inequalities. Vigo described the film in an address to the Groupement des Spectateurs d’Avant-Garde: “In this film, by showing certain basic aspects of a city, a way of life is put on trial… the last gasps of a society so lost in its escapism that it sickens you and makes you sympathetic to a revolutionary solution.”1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80_propos_de_Nice#cite_note-0

The best shows I have probably been to are Secret Chiefs 3, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Bjork but some other good ones were
Boredoms
Air
Belle & Sebastian
Nels Cline
The Creatures
Melvins
Mogwai
Muse
Big Business
(that’s just to name a handful of good ones)
Yeah Bjork is a really good performer. Siouxsie does her songs live almost identical to how you hear them recorded, but Bjork has new musical arrangements and sounds. it’s just amazing. And she’s so expressive!
Lastfm.com is pretty good for music i guess…not sure if there is a forum to discuss things on, but you can add people and PM them. they also give you recommendations for local shows you can go to according to the music you listen to..
Has anyone ever smelled kangaroo meat?? Oh my…so rancid! They were serving it at a zoo I went to once, right after I pet and fed these cute baby kangaroos. :(
Hahaha. Yes, I was appalled. I totally have a clinical phobia of animals but finally got up the nerve to pet them (koalas and kangaroos, in AU of course), fell in love with these cute baby marsupials, and then saw a man eating it next to me like 20 mins later! I mean if you’re going to eat an outback animal eat a dingo! they’re mean. (jk)
We thought it would be beneficial for us to have the opportunity to discuss films of interest in a more organized manner. An idea is to have a forum similar to a book club in which we all agree to watch the same film by a given date and come back to discuss— in a mature manner ;)
1. Get film suggestions
2. If 3 or more people are interested, set a date by which to watch the movie
3. Come back for discussion
