can't believe they actually filmed finnegans wake.

only passages from it, not the whole thing, but still.

it is one of the hardest books of all time to even READ, let alone film.

what's interesting about it is that when i read it now i find what seem to be irish slang words that have only come into use recently, i would be very surprised if they were in use back when joyce was writing it.

i've seen far worse things of even less interest to people get arts council funding

You do have a very kickable head though.

yes, provided that arts council funding can buy you a step ladder

i was wondering ... is it okay to download stuff from ubuweb and use it for sample purpose? Since they're up there for free download, there's most likely no problem with that. I was been browsing this site yesterday and found tons of great sounds that I'd like to use in my music.

Yeah you can, slavo. It's in their faq, I think. They don't get permission, so why should you, basically.

Oh, I'm doing semen paintings soon, if anyon'es interested in buying 'em.

i just watched one of jeff keen's films here:

wish I could get that jeff keen coolection but it's region 2..

I finally got the Keen collection and it's the best experimental stuff ever made.

UBU has removed a LOT of great videos. So, if you see something you like, DOWNLOAD IT ASAP. My heart broke when they removed some of the rare Godard, as well as L'Ange.

The best stuff on the site is the Japanese new wave stuff. Toshio Matsumoto and Shuji Terayama in particular are my two favorite directors of all time.
