The Cure For Summertime Blues
It's about that time that kids are starting to daydream about their summer plans. And they should be. Ain't nothing better. There are not many places on Earth I'd rather be than Lake Plantagenet in Bemidji, MN when I was 12. Anyway, if you haven't already seen it, check out Summercamp. It's just about the best thing you'll ever see. Work sucks.
Summercamp! follows the day-to-day drama of 90 kids let loose in the woods at Swift Nature Camp in northern Wisconsin. Camp is a place where kids can be kids, where their home and school lives momentarily fade into the background as they go through the highs and lows of adolescent rituals: sing-alongs, talent shows, homesickness, counselor mutiny--and first love. Amidst group activities, showy arguments, and secret conversations, filmmakers Bradley Beesley and Sarah Price submerge themselves into this curious camp subculture, capturing a diverse array of adolescents from all economic and social backgrounds. Through the non-calloused eyes of kids, Summercamp! captures the raw emotional experiences that will endure with them for the rest of their lives.
Paul McCartney and Percy Thrillington.
Paul McCartney decided one day in the spring of 1971 that he was real keen on the idea of making an orchestral version of Ram. He made it, it hit the shelves, and in 1977, he decided to finally put it out. But he wanted to have some fun, and because he's the king of (un)cool, he released it under the pseudonym of Percy "Thrills" Thrillington. He and Lovely Linda started spreading phony stories to the gossip pages and taking out ads announcing Mr. Thrillington's social and musical activities in London. Thrillington doesn't have his name anywhere, but let me assure you, this shit is pure Paul. It might sound like a C grade Bond soundtrack at times but any cover version of one of the greatest albums that ever was is fine by me.MP3: Thrillington - Monkberry Moon Delight
