No really, this is why I need to have children

So they can spend hours and hours crafting new arrangements of pop songs with nothing but recycled containers and their God-given vocal chords.

I reincarnated and came back as the 1985 version of myself except with a much better voice

Seriously, this kid is AMAZING.
And seriously, with less melanin and more crooked teeth, she’d look exactly like I did at age seven.

Went to see a friend’s girlfriend perform in an orchestra today at the Berliner Philharmoniker. Was brilliant! I (probably illegally) recorded some of the pieces on my iphone. Enjoy!

I can’t wait to see Moonrise Kingdom

In other comedy news, Fake Tilda Swinton is the best thing that ever happened to Twitter.

He was touching my computer, he was clicking and dragging, copying and pasting

I just showed my European colleagues this clip, which was and is and always will be priceless.

This time I’m taking advantage of my medium’s impermanence

I never posted this full version before because I wasn’t allowed to when I was submitting it to festivals. But it occurred to me that posting the full version is waaaaay overdue. So here it is! In all its 24-minute glory…

People with acting ability are not the kind you need?

Interview with Andy Warhol (about films) by a teenager.
How did you get started making movies? “Uh…I don’t know.”

Where are all the women in film?

I feel like we’re slipping back into an earlier era, but worse than earlier because now the anti-female sentiment in our culture (not just culture; world) is insidious, toxic but without the scent of poison — “O man of God, there is death in the pot!” — because now we’re supposed to have an amendment in the Constitution.

The 1960s burned our bras, the 1980s gave us shoulder pads so we can look like rival linebackers, the 1990s permed our hair and let us make coy retorts to men on television. But we still get paid less and we still allow old men to pass laws about our bodies. We’re finally allowed to have babies AND work (actually we’re expected to have babies AND work), but we’re not allowed to have paid parental leave. You can’t have it all, ladies! And you certainly can’t have a career in technology or film or science.

This clip highlights some interesting stats, and it’s backed by a song from Dar Williams, who once signed “subvert the dominant paradigm” on my Converse All-Stars in 1997.

Kishi Bashi, “Bright Whites” – you can download the track. Soundcloud didn’t hire me, but I still love them.
