Speaking of wine...y'know how City Winery will put a picture of an artist on the label of a bottle of wine, then sell the wine & split the profits with the artist? They just did that for Jesse Malin.

The first time I saw him was with Atari Teenage Riot and The Roots. It was a great show. Beck's set was one of the most disjointed things I've witnessed. I dug it. But I also didn't.

I saw him a couple years ago and he played all the hits, but it was weirdly unengaging.

“They were immediately and absolutely recognizable as adventurers; rogues who wandered the Ragamoll and the Cymek and Fellid and probably the whole of Bas-Lag. They were hardy and dangerous, lawless, stripped of allegiance or morality, living off their wits, stealing and killing, hiring themselves out to whoever and whatever came. They were inspired by dubious virtues.

“A few performed useful services, research cartography and the like. Most were nothing but tomb raiders. They were scum who died violent deaths, hanging on to a certain cachet among the impressionable through their undeniable bravery and their occasionally impressive exploits.” —Perdido Street Station

"acques Tati's 16-minute short film from 1947, L'École des Facteurs, or The School for Postmen, is all about a wacky postman on a bike, and it's sort of a prototype. In some ways, The School for Postmen is Jour de Fête with the training wheels on. This is Tati taking his brilliant sight gags and routines for a spin before he developed them into the famous full-length movie that came two years later. But it's a terrific film nonetheless, a silent movie with words — presented at a length that the great early masters like Chaplin and Keaton would have understood. It delivers the essence of Tati....
