2012

vanishtwins-MPEG-4 800Kbps.mp4

At the Tucson Roller Derby 2 weeks ago this band, Vanish Twin, played at halftime. They totally rawked and were pretty fun to film. I particularly like this song, about 2012, the year the world is supposed to end according to the Mayan cosmology.

"That will be the day, that the world gets blown away!!"

i especially like the concept of 2012 because the DAY on which the world ends in the Mayan calendar is my birthday, December 23. yay! I will be 44, and the world will be about 5000, or 6000, or 4 billion, depending on who you ask.

FINAL

Jose Saavedra PLUSH May 08

This is from a performance José Saavedra and La Desgracia gave in May at PLUSH. It's part of my ongoing music documentary about Pepo, VER SUS ME. Not sure where this part will fit in or if it all, but for now get a taste of what I'm working on. If you like what you see give me some support, particularly funding so if you're interested hit me up: jmapanleft@hotmail.com

PERFORMANCE PAN LEFT

Attention Pan Lefties. It looks like we've made our mark in the local music scene with our music videos and performance pieces, so let's get them noticed out there. A while back I had the idea of posting performance videos to the blog and I think we should tag them. So any of you who posted music or performance stuff in the past and in the future use this tag:

Performance Pan Left

Good movies, Trust me.

Lately I've been stacking up the rental list, soaking my eyes in cinema with the wife, or with friends, or solo. And occasionally I'll come across some movies that I think got a bad rap. Of course most people will probably think I'm crazy, cuz the critics got they're fangs in them and they never had a real shot. But remember, 2001:A Space Odyssey was a critical disaster. So for fun I'm putting out my top 5 flix I've seen in the last couple years that we're condemned by the movie rags and critics. They're ranked by most personal surprising. Keep an open mind and give em a shot.

Q: Why? A: FOOD

Personally, my own health has been on my mind lately which luckily I was reminded about author Michael Pollan. Pollan is someone I have been paying attention too for a while, and I have yet to read his book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma (anybody lend me a copy?), but whenever book excerpts and articles arise with his name, I'm right there.
