THREE ON SUNDAY

'Friends,

After an early evening show at Dan's on Sunday, May 16th, I'll be showing some videos for y'all.

Nasty animation, depression-era music newsreels, and NYC No Wave.

Starts at 10:30PM, and is free.

Please spread the word if you think you know of anyone who may be interested.


Thanks,

Martin'



THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD (EPISODE 16)
Phil Mulloy, 1994 (3 min. 20 sec.)



“One of animation’s most prurient, dark and mischievous masters, multi-award-winning animator Phil Mulloy stands as an antidote to all that is kitsch and sentimental. Using simple brush pens and ink, Mulloy's works are witty and acerbic fables, loaded with graphic images of sex and violence that are both perceptive comments on human nature and challenges to contemporary values.”


TIMES AIN’T LIKE THEY USED TO BE (EARLY AMERICAN RURAL & POPULAR MUSIC)
Various sources, 1928 - 1935 (70 min.)



“In the early days of sound film, newsreel cameras captured the sights and sounds of everyday life in America, including its music. Musicians were filmed where they lived and played, captured by roving newsreel crews on street corners and front porches, at country dances and summer resorts in nightclubs, and broadcasting from churches and radio stations...” Fascinating rare footage of legendary figures in early American music: Jimmie Rodgers, Whistler's Jug Band, Bob Wills, Jack Johnson's Jazz Band, Bascom Lamar Lunceford and many more.


135 GRAND STREET NEW YORK 1979
Ericka Beckman, 1979 (60 min.)

“135 Grand Street, New York, 1979 is a unique film capturing both the aural and visual aesthetics of New York’s No Wave scene in its ascendant. Punk rock and non-musicianship fight it out with art world attitude. Garage band line-ups in varying degrees of musical destruction sit alongside post-everything poetry and experimental noise terrorists...” Featuring performances by Theoretical Girls, UT, A Band, Rhys Chatham, Chinese Puzzle, The Static, Morales, Youth in Asia, Steve Piccolo, Jill Kroesen, Glenn Branca, Evan Lurie, and Wharton Tiers.

THREE ON SUNDAY

'Hello.

Just wanted to let y'all know I'll be doing the video thing at Dan's Silver Leaf this Sunday. 10:30PM. FREE.

Showing three Texas-based videos: a JFK assassination recreation, a great black variety program filmed in Dallas in the mid-1960s, and the Butthole Surfers live in 1985.

Next screenings will be on the third Sunday of December (the 20th) with a Xmas theme.

THE ETERNAL FRAME

Ant Farm and T.R. Uthco, 1975 (24 min.)

Using Abraham Zapruder’s famous film of the Kennedy assassination as their starting point, T.R. Uthco and Ant Farm construct a multi-leveled event that is simultaneously a live performance spectacle, a taped re-enactment of the assassination, a mock documentary, and, perhaps most insidiously, a simulation of the Zapruder film itself. Performed in Dealey Plaza in Dallas — the actual site of the assassination — the re-enactment elicits bizarre responses from the spectators, who react to the simulation as though it were the original event.


THE!!!! BEAT

WFAA Television, 1966 (30min.)

Legendary Nashville deejay Hoss Allen’s short-lived variety program “The!!!! Beat” featuring an influential line-up of some of the best black performers of the 1960s. As the only independent color television station in the south, the WFAA studio in Dallas hosted the recording of the program. This episode features host Hoss Allen, The Mighty Hannibal, Little Gary Ferguson, Gatemouth Brown. Johnny Taylor, Wanda Rouzan, and The Beat Boys.


BLIND EYE SEES ALL

Butthole Surfers, 1985 (80 min.)

This mid-80s VHS release documents the Butthole Surfers performing live at the club Traxx in Detroit, Michigan in 1985. Includes Trevor Malcolm on sousaphone and bedroom interviews.

Songs: The Shah Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave, One Hundred Million People Dead, Bar-be-que Pope, Cowboy Bob, Hey, Tornados, Dum Dum, Mexican Caravan, Cherub, Lady Sniff, Something, Mark Says Alright, and PSY.

MAGGOTS

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Under our daily world and always close to the curtain to dead is a whole civilisation on the edge of metamorphosis. With the difference of the majestic butterfly, however, this race of the wonders limbless writhe and twist in the stink, corpse putrefied of the end of the life.



Cannibal Corpse - A Skull Full of Maggots

They breakdown the old man and transform the matter again, however their own physical transformation, while energetic, leaves much with imagination. With their parts, although humbly and simple spirits, they ensure a service necessary of the world. However, their intended goal is ambivalent. They seem to only exist to irritate and annoy.











Gwar - Maggots

Thus, with this, do we have to celebrate the stage flesh-eating larvae?
