Bi-Weekly Blogging
Perhaps it has been even longer than that since I last wrote here. To be very brief, in that time, basically two things happened: SCVF / onedotzero Shizuoka and Resfest Tokyo. The most memorable piece from either show for me was this one called collision by Max Hattler, which is something of an abstract and interestingly removed exploration of the conflict between the US and the Middle East, American vs Muslim culture. I also really liked this video for a band (which I have absolutely no knowledge of beyond this video) called The Redneck Manifesto. Here is the video, Trust Me I’m A Thief made by Johnny Kelly.
And furthermore, beyond any of the videos was the Resfest closing party at Superdeluxe, which featured dazzling live acts by an electro breakdancing elementary schoolgirl called Strong Machine Number 2, as well as a performance group called MJ Spirit, fronted by a quiet (when he’s not performing) and skinny Japanese guy who does an exact impersonation of Michael Jackson, complete with backup dancers.
And so, I conclude with movies from the two: ストロングマシーン２号 and MJ Spirit.
