old timey dance numbers
over the holiday season, i saw a lot of old timey movies on tcm with lots and lots of old timey dance numbers. fred astaire action. and i found myself mildly amused by the plot and dialogue, but completely engrossed in the dance scenes. this is unprecedented in my life. but there’s something about the way people move that i love to watch. and i think whether it’s skateboarding or soccer or dance, i’m fascinated. anyways, i just happened upon the above clip today and it’s pretty righteous.
unbelievable
this song is absolutely killing it! i just heard this for the first time and it was one of those songs that made me stop and actually sit there while i listened. hats off dj clap!

i know i post a shit ton of videos, but i can’t help it. here’s paul pope in his studio. i’m a fan of videos/photo essays/interviews of people in their creative spaces. i’m also a fan of paul pope’s art. and i used to have a crush on him when i was younger. cuz y’know he was a rocker and included black and white rocker pinups of himself in the first issues of thb. i wrote him once when i was like 15. he didn’t write back. word.
