Danny Garcia was researching live tracks and 1984 footage that he could use and messaged me on youtube about a bunch of the uploads on my channel. We did a ton of back and forth as the project was developing. He needed someone to interview Pearl in LA and they asked me to go down. Rudy lives near me and he came down since I guess he knows her as well, so we interviewed both on the same day. I had met Rudy at Bay Area Clash events like Strummerville a number of times, but had never met Pearl. She was as cool as you would imagine and her house was filled with the coolest vintage stuff. My friend is a director and he hooked me up with a camera man who ended up flaking. I called my director friend up that morning and he came out and filmed it. He didn't have a tripod on him, so those interviews are a little shakier than the others, but it actually doesn't look too bad.JennyB wrote: ↑24 Jul 2017, 10:39amThat is super cool.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: FAO Hoy
I was inspired(?) to revisit the discussion thread for the film (starting in the low page 30s) and experience again the frustration of those who didn't watch the movie but were nonetheless disappointed and betrayed by it. The miasma of the Clash really can't be contained.

Re: FAO Hoy
I actually like David Crosby's music just fine, and his Twitter persona is hilarious. But he's off base on Titus Andronicus (tho amusingly so).

Re: FAO Hoy
This campaign was plastered all over every ad slot in the subway car I was riding in this afternoon:
Then I looked at what they actually do...https://www.openbiome.org/.
Yup, Dr. Hoy opened up Greater Boston's first ever full-service stool bank donation center. Across the street from the Commie bar in Cambridge where Flex, Boddington, and I got shitfaced two springs ago before drunk-dialing eumaas. And they're offering cash rewards at $40 a *plop* for your Hanky loaf if you sign on for a 2-month, 3 shits-per-week stint at their dropoff location. Provided you follow the proper brown rice dietary restrictions...and, please ladies, no fatties allowed.
On the way back, I was riding in another subway car with another one of these same Heroic Shitter ads from the series. This one where the 2D-cutout cartoon Hoy stand-in flashing the "Eyyyyyy!" thumbs-up woke up, had a vigorous 2k morning run, took a magnificent beast unit of a dump, then totally aced the sales presentation that got him the big promotion. In that...exact...cause-effect...sequence.
On the next ad slot over on the other side of the door was this:
Thus, apparently, allowing you to be the championship-caliber manure factory you always in your most self-actualized dreams wanted to be...such that you can earn a 401(k)'s worth of nest egg pooping into a bottle for months on end at the friendly local stool bank concern in the next ad slot over (a joint venture of CompuHoyGlobal Chemical Manufacturing LLC and Matsumura Fishworks™).
Goddamnit, Hoy's figured out how to monetize his shit!!

Re: FAO Hoy
Seriously. Whenever I see an ad about some pooping treatment or some such, I immediately connect it to Hoy. Well done, son, you're a shit god in my books.
