Throbbing Gristle - Live At Oundle School (1980)



The infamous performance at the school for boys (aged 16 and under) in Peterburough, England.  Apparently, the group was invited care of one young fan (not Jhonn Balance, contrary to rumors) who told his headmaster that the group was "like John Cage".

One Point Perspective dir Kogonoda (2012)

Kubrick // One-Point Perspective from kogonada on Vimeo.

Great montage of Kubrick's use of one point perspective.  Ignore the way-overutilized Clint Mansell piece that everybody seems to use for every trailer on the planet and which Kubrick never would have used.  Wish they'd gone with the Ligeti piece that opens it, but oh well.
