video of the day

Today's video is brought to you by Etsy Crystals. A tablespoon of delicious Etsy Crystals dissolved in warm water for breakfast will be all the Etsy you need for the day. No more surfing through webpage after webpage of useless hipster junk...not any more! Drink a delicious cup of Etsy Crystals every morning, and before you know it you will be cheerfully rummaging through stinky trash looking for missed recyclables...that's Etsy Crystals folks, and you know it's gonna be a good morning!

Today's video, 'Pirosbetüs Napok', (roughly translated 'Important Day'), is by an early 1980s rock band from Hungary that called themselves 'Trabant'. Forgive the quality of the video (adds to the mood, methinks), as 1980's Hungarian New Wave videos are as rare as... well... 1980's Hungarian New Wave videos.

Notably, Víg Mihály on guitars went on to collaborate with film director Bela Tarr.

journeys and ruins


I watched two short films from Alexander Sokurov this evening, "Elegy of a Voyage" and "Hubert Robert, A Fortunate Life".
(It is now technically morning, I suppose.)

These are precious films for me as I am no longer able to travel to museums - one of the few pleasures that once tempted me far from home.

damnation





The bar scene from Tarr's 'Damnation'.

The outside-the-wish-room scene from 'Stalker'.

Bittersweet, delicate Monkey - Zone color against the monochrome landscape.
