the bbc only offers its online content to british viewers, so its just about the anecdote, or you'll have to spoof a british i.p. address..

“Screwing things up is a virtue,” he said when he was 74. “Being correct is never the point... Being right can stop all the momentum of a very interesting idea.”

If the fascism in the history of adidas passed you by, this scary as fuck commercial for the chinese olympics might also pass by as if it were normal. Wikipedia starts with adidas's history after 1949, the year the brand was officially founded, and "forgets" to mention the company produced army boots for the nazi's, and the shoes for the 1936 german olympics. I guess wikipedia's uber editors are getting free shoe's..

by the way, here is leni riefenstahl, probably the inspiration for the commercial in the arms of Siegfried and Roy at he 100th birthday. (she died in 2003)

a brief piece from adidas vs puma from http://urbanzipper.com/

The Dassler family (Adolf Dassler - Adi Das) company claimed world wide fame when world acclaimed athletes wore their shoes in the Olympics of 1936. The Michael Jordan of Track and Field Jesse Owens co-signed the shoes by rocking a pair during the 1936 Olympics. Embarrassed by Hitler's humiliation over African American Jesse Owens win over the Anglo-Saxon Germans in the Olympics, rumors have it that Rudi stated to friends that the shoes were not made for a black man to wear. Soon after, Adi and Rudi joined the “Fashion Fascists” by enrolling in the Nazi Party. Rudi went as far as to serve in the German Army during World War II leaving Adi to tend to family business. While Adi produced military boots for Nazi Soldiers, Rudi was dodging bullets at the frontline. However, the Dassler Family's luck ran out when the Allies seized control of Germany and Rudi was held captive in an American prisoner-of-war camp. American soldiers occupied and moved into the Dassler home. During the occupation, Adi formed a bond with the Americans and rumor has it that this was the pivotal time in life that made him change his ideology about fascism to liberty and freedom. As Adi was making new friends, Rudi's entrapment in a prison war camp was leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.

Rudi Dassler later founded Puma.

link to commercial

the people of psyop (agency behind the commercial) say nothing about the distinct similarities between there work and leni riefenstahl's beautifull movies. but keep on talking about the similarities between the commercial and the music video for "take on me" by aha...

Lars pointed me to this wonderful video, when you steal the car the party starts.

like snoop was in your car

I liked seeing this as a sculture

as a torrent "The beaver Trilogy" by Trent Harris, through the amazing greyloge.

Its a movie I saw twice on a film festival, one of the best movies I've ever seen. Since that screening I looked for the movie everywhere.

Just e few days ago I emailed Trent Harris and he will send me one of his screening copies personally, since there is appearantly nobody that handles the distribution for his films.

you can look at his website and I encourage to buy the real thing, instead of the torrent that just popped up, because this needs support.

from wikipedia;

The Beaver Trilogy (2001) is a documentary film directed by Trent Harris, featuring Sean Penn, Crispin Glover and co-starring Courtney Gains.

The Beaver Trilogy combines three separate vignettes that were filmed at different times--in 1979, 1981, and 1985. The first, entitled The Beaver Kid, is a short documentary about the exploits of Groovin' Gary, a performer that filmmaker Harris happened upon while filming for a Salt Lake City, Utah news station. Harris filmed Gary, a rabid Olivia Newton-John obsessive, as he staged a talent show that featured Gary dressed in full drag singing the Newton-John song "Please Don't Keep Me Waiting".

The second installment, called The Beaver Kid 2 features Sean Penn as "Groovin' Larry" in a dramatic interpretation of the original documentary. The trilogy is completed with The Orkly Kid, in which Crispin Glover reprises Penn's role.

a music collection that yariv gave me a few months ago, including a song by his old band D.X.M. download here

"....a contemporary tel aviv compilation, with one really old song by my band (song 4):

it's a compilation by the tel aviv university radio, voice of the campus, there's some nice stuff on, and it includes cover and all..."

Yariv Alter sadly died this week. My life will never be the same.

Songs I like by The Fools:

Ocean of synth (alternative version)
Läjzer (remix with new bass dub)
running away
nothing [breakdown]

But there's a lot more to download.
