THE FLOWER THIEF | Ron Rice 1960

Taylor Mead traipses with elfin glee through a lost San Francisco of smoke-stuffed North Beach cafés, oceanside fairgrounds and collapsed post-industrial ruins. Boinging along an improvised picaresque up and down the city’s hills, Mead teases playground schoolkids, sniffs wildflowers, gets abducted by cowboys in the park, and has a tea party on a pile of rubble with a potbellied bathing beauty…  With Eric "Big Daddy" Nord, Beat Generation-era nightclub owner, poet, actor, and hipster, beat poets living in North Beach and the poet Bob Kaufman (who in Bagel Shop Jazz, called its patrons "...shadow people...mulberry-eyed girls in black stockings, smelling vaguely of mint jelly…turtle neck angel guys...".)   and shot using surplus black-and-white 16mm film  from film cartridges left over from aerial gunnery equipment used during World War II.

 (Taylor Mead, Jeffrey Joffen, Ron Rice)

 

FLY | Yoko Ono + John Lennon 1970

FILM NO. 13: FLY by Yoko Ono: Let a fly walk on a woman’s body from toe to head and fly out of the window (From 13 Film Scripts by Yoko Ono London ‘67)

Yoko Ono says Fly is a female liberation story, perhaps even a tale of human liberation. "Everyone is that female," she says, "just lying down, just taking it. We don't live life, we just take it."

PULL MY DAISY

Pull My Daisy (1959), the quintessential beat film.

Based on an incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn, Daisy tells the story of a railway brakeman whose painter wife invites a respectable bishop over for dinner. However, the brakeman’s bohemian friends crash the party, with comic result.

For the beatnik at heart, a tortured poet, a lover of Kerouac, Ginsberg, Orlovsky, Corso, Burroughs.

YAT-KHA | Europe 2005 UNOFFICIAL

Albert Kuvezin And Yat-Kha | Live In Europe 2005 Unofficial
Recorded in London and France

The art of Tuvan throat singing is a style in which one or more pitches sound simultaneously over a fundamental pitch, producing a unique sound.

At the beginning of his career at the end of the Soviet era, the ideology department of the Tuvan Communist Party was less than thrilled when Kuvezin picked up the electric guitar and started singing. As a little boy, he had been thrown out of the choir and told to never sing again. It wasn’t until the sounds of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Slayer reached his homeland of Tuva—a remote area of southern Siberia nestled between the Altai and Sayan Mountains—that Kuvezin found the musical bridge between his voice, his heritage, and the universe.
