The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

The MSM (mainstream media) is in full bullshit force with this election and the right wing playas are pulling those strings like Gepetto on crack. Lot's of frustrating madness on those airwaves, but what is the real consequence? I then remembered a courageous doc shot in Venezuela called, THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED. BY KIM BARTLEY AND DONNACHA O'BRIAIN IRELAND, 2003 74 MINUTES

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

Check out Jose Saavedra at:

Don't miss Pepo's farewell show at PLUSH on Friday Night, June 13!!!

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.
