This movie is shocking but wonderfully made, it’s an eye opener into Japan’s fishing and mass slaughtering of Dolphins, it makes you really question your thoughts on captivity and the world’s fishing trade as a whole.

FELA KUTI, JON JONKI JON, In the 1960’s in Nigeria this man became so popular he nearly was voted president, but the government came and took that all away, he bought about the afro-beat movement and was total class. Harry got me onto this stuff recently, check out this tune and its infectious rhythms and riffs. Also check out ‘Daktaris’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTDzyW8jv4s

THE CREATION, MAKING TIME, This song is class, but I just saw this video and really liked it, I want to be at that party, seems funny how old school it is with people dance and not look at the band, plus they use a bow on the guitar… I wonder if that was before Jimmy Page?!

It made me think about the way rock n roll developed and the movements that were made by artists bouncing off each other, I always thought it funny when people wished they lived in a different time, when they look back and think things were so much better in the 60’s or whatever as if every day you wake up and there is a new band changing the world and students rioting, when in actual fact every day they had 9-5 jobs, all the bands we love were spread out over years and to be honest they has a lot less contact with the world than today, I believe these are interesting and amazing times as much as any other, but flicking through these videos on youtube is awesome! You can really find some great stuff and it gets you thinking about these things.
