totally & completely off topic: filmmovement.com

I'm sure a lot of you are really into indie & foreign films like I am. I most recently saw "Garden State", "A Home at the End of the World" & "Donnie Darko - Director's Cut" (twice actually). I thought I would tell you about a website I discovered about 4-months ago. It is www.filmmovement.com <http://www.filmmovement.com/> They offer DVD's of films of interest that usually have not been theatrically released or were shown at art-house theatres for a week or so that may have been missed. The guys who put this together were the ones that produced "Sling Blade" (excellent) years back. I joined on a monthly subscription for $19-month & the four films I received so far were all excellent. Here is some info from the web site: Overview: >From the producers of Sling Blade and You Can Count on Me, Film Movement allows everyone to participate in new releases regardless of where they live. Film Movement's Curatorial Board includes directors of top film festivals such as Lincoln Center, American Film Institute and South by Southwest, among others. Participating films represent the diversity and quality of film in the U.S. and around the world with most having won awards. These films are exclusively available through Film Movement. Mission Statement Film Movement is for anyone who does not want to miss out on outstanding films because of where they live. Most films do not receive a national release despite critical acclaim and awards at Cannes, Sundance and other top film festivals. As a result, most of us don't get to see many of the year's best films. Film Movement is changing all that. Anyway, I have been very pleased with this service & thought I would pass it along.

Sample Spotted - Little Orb Content
by bla blazo 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

Hey, I was listening to the college jazz station this morning and heard a song that Funki Porcini sampled. I don't remember the name of the Funki Porcini song but it was on Let's See What Carmen Can Do (I think it was the one that has the "my stomach feels good already" bit). Anywho, the name of the song is "Stolen Moments" by Oliver Nelson on The Blues and the Abstract Truth album. FP sampled some of the flute by Eric Dolphy. That made my day! Also, I bought another Plaid CD over the past weekend, Double Figure, on a CD shopping spree (along with a Melodian's CD, the Trojan Ska Box and the Harder They Come DVD). I like most of it. Some of the songs are a little too "space opera" for me but it's an alright CD, I guess. I like Rest Proof Clockwork better. I also talked the cashier into giving me the 12" orb promo that they were giving out for purchasing B&T. Best mix of "From a Distance" I've heard yet - but that's not saying much. Still don't care for "Aftermath" all that much. -matt _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Share RV to Burning Man??
by -<(::jason::)>- 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Ok folks... I know it's a bit late here... But I would really like to go to Burning Man, and am looking for people interested in sharing the cost of an RV rental. Looking to get to the playa on Monday (8/30), and leave Sunday night (9/5) or Monday morning (to beat traffic). Leaving and returning to the SF bay area (Oakland most likely). I cannot stress enough the importance of having a sink, shower, air conditioner, microwave, place to escape the dust storms, fridge to store your food in, etc. THE RV IS THE ONLY WAY TO FLY!!! :-) In the past, the rental has run about $400-600 per person. Please let me know ASAP if you or anyone you know would be interested! Thanks! _jason_

RE: [Orb] Sample spotting....
by Magnificent ~ Crab 12 Aug '04

I spotted that darn, "All I want is my stereo" sample on Tino Corp's 'My Name is Tino' and I was wondering what the story is behind it. I swear that can be found on Voyage Into Paradise, as well as somwhere else, Aunt Aubrey, or Coldcut's 'Journey By DJ' or somewhere.... post script; why does this subject line seem like a feminine product advert? Why is everyone so quiet and lame? Cuz its nice out eh? post post scrip; (damn you) Godamn Ali G is killing all expectations. We almost aren't ready for him, nor will we ever be? 'Where are the Hipotatamus?' 'There are none. This is a farm. Do you know what a farm is?' 'Well, obviously, a rubbish zoo!'

The time has finally come for me to shut down my PC for the last time, well for at least the next 12 months while I do a spot of globe trotting. It's not that easy, I can tell ya. Many thanks to all on this list, especially the chap who pointed out Flock of Bleeps, cheers mate its a blinder, and all the other kind souls who have helped me get some crazy music to freak my friends and family out with. Cheers especially to all who have given me a little info on pubs, clubs, gigs and festies that are going on while I walk off these itchy feet over the coming year. I'm looking forward to bugging the lot of you as I pass through with my 40Gb MP3 player. ;) If anyone has any more info on events and quality musical establishments in these places roughly around these times then please send them to my new, spam free email address of billy.b(at)prbox.com, this old spam clogged mail is about to be killed off once and for all. Aug/Sep - NY to LA Oct - Fiji Oct/Nov - New Zealand Dec/Apr - Australia May - Thailand June - India Many many thanks for this, it's amazing how valuable a little bit of local knowledge is when you want a good beer and a decent music policy. I am also prepared to make big detours for any good festivals that you can talk me into. Thanks for all the memories and I would really appreciate it if someone (smiley?) would drop me any important Orb related news, especially DJ dates. Ta v much and thanks for all the memories.
