From The Valley Within (Lost Records) 1983. Man seriously? Say it ain’t so, Joe. Two obscure 1980’s hardcore 7inches in a row? This one is from San Jose, California and is one of those comps that I searched for for years. Why? Cuz it has The Faction on it, [...]

———————————————
some nights sleep is hard
to come by. kinda like a kid on
christmas eve… i lay in bed wide
awake thinking about the next day
and all i want to do. Once the gears
start spinning it’s hard to slow em
down. i remember when i was skateboarding
all the time in my teens and 20’s i would
lay in bed all night thinking up tricks i
wanted to learn and things i thought i
could do on a skateboard… the bummer
is the next day your so tired from staring at
the ceiling all night your mind and body don’t
work as well as you dreamed.
about a year ago on one of these such nights,
after some long hours in the garage i was laying
in bed unable to sleep. My hands burning from cuts
and chemicals, my back aching from hunching over
a bike, and my lungs filled with paint fumes.
I thought
to myself “man i feel like shit,
i’m killing myself”…..
….. and i just want tomorrow to start
so i can do it again.
“i’m dying for my dreams”
it’s weird to hear people talk
about others and the things
they’re into. People can be
so critical of other peoples
lives. I’ve heard it in all
different realms..music, skate-
boarding,art, and motorcycles.
Trying to knock other folks
down saying
” ah so and so he’s not
really into art, he’s
just here for the ride”
or “yeah he’s a good drummer but
i don’t think he’s really
into it” “you know his dad bought
him a skateboard when he was
like three”
…. shit i’ve done it, and i was
being lame and insecure.
the funny thing is the older
i got the less i thought
it would happen….nope.
When your in it, you are in it.
Only you know it. In your heart.
From head to toe.
I believe the things i love
found me….. that’s
always how it has been.
When you know you can’t shake
it. Abusing your body, spinning
your mind way to fast,
all to move forward.
Nothing real is easy. Love, skateboards,
friends, motorcycles,family… it takes work.
this shirt is for everyone that
understands it…
“dying for our dreams”
—————————-max——————

and i think no one really got it….
but Patrick Dunaway got it right
off the bat. thanks so much dude.

Further to my last post, and to my Collections report on the Alexander McQueen show, I thought it was worth sharing an excerpt from an email I just wrote to thank the McQueen team for inviting me to this evening’s presentations:
Lots of people in fashion feel they are ‘entitled’ to… [more]

Before the Korean New Wave (represented by such international film festival faves as Lee Chang-dong, Hong Sang-soo and Kim Ki-duk) and long before homegrown productions like Shiri, Oldboy, and The Host began dominating the Seoul box office, there was a “Golden Age” of South Korean cinema, and the landmark that started that cine-luminous era was the late Kim Ki-young’s The Housemaid (1960, a/k/a Hanyo). Bay Area audiences will finally have a chance to view this classic in the type of venue it was meant to be screened in, The Castro Theatre, on March 14, as part of the 28th San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. Thanks to the committed restoration efforts of the Korean Film Archives, with support from the World Cinema Foundation, we will get to see it in a print closer to the state of its initial premiere screening.
ã
Kim Ki-young’s directorial debut, The Box of Death (1955), was the first Korean film to both use a Mitchell camera and to be filmed in synchronous sound. Kim built the set and directed most of the lighting, an independent, low-budget focus that he carried with him throughout most of his career. An anti-Communist film made under the auspices of the United States Information Service, its title is a metaphor for a time bomb. The Box of Death was seen by some critics of the time as anti-Communist in name only, as if more interested in currying favor with what was deemed the less reputable sentiments to be entertained. Still, it had contemporary defenders, such as writer Oh Young-jin, who advocated that the film was a “new type of anti-Communist film,” hinting at how Kim would later push genres beyond their borders.

So, The Rhizome Team is getting together for our weekly staff meeting around 3ish tomorrow. (Our staff meetings are catered by the fine folks at Le Cirque and sometimes start fifteen minutes late to allow the wine to breathe and the caviar to chill)* One of the things on the agenda tomorrow is to decide which of the fabulous favicons that you have created to pick as the winner of the FAVICONTEST. This means you have around 24 hours left to contribute your own design for our new favicon. Even if you don’t have the urge to submit your own creation you should definitely take a look at what folks have been able to come up with so far. Thanks again to everyone that has submitted, and keep em coming!
*PSYCHE, we are lucky to have 3 banana flavored laffy taffys to split
