Saturday Night Live is back with a vengence this year. And it isn't just Tina Fey and her Sarah Palin send-ups that are working. This is classic SNL in rare form--- from the writing to the casting-- to the great musical performances. DVR time...
L'Automobile is a French auto magazine. I picked it up in Airport in Paris this week. I don't read or speak French. That said, the pictures tell it all. This is an image of the new 4x4 Mini Cooper concept car. The interior is sick, and I love the coloration. It's extra 70's G.I. Joe. Peep how
Miles Davis. Interviews of Miles are rare. His performances defined cool. This is "Agitation"-- a lesser known record, performed probably in the mid 1960's with Ron Carter, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams . The second video is "Walkin'", performed on November 7, 1967 at the Stadthalle, Karlsruhe, Germany. This is an old one---way before my time...and for sure isn't one of my favorites. But watching it, the way it was filmed, the vibe-- makes me want a time machine. But mostly it makes me regret never learning how to play an instrument. He personified cool and beyond. Even as he got older. He was a stud. I love geeking out on old Miles records. I own every single one...even the later ones that got a little weird. Love those too.
