Big Brother is Watching You, Watching Me, Watching You
This is genius on so many levels....
The Surveillance Camera Players are a New York based protest group who highlight the intrusion of CCTV surveillance in our public lives by staging specially adapted plays at them - reclaiming them for public use.
" It is clear that the quickest way to open people's eyes, given that a general matter may deceive them, is to make them get down to its particulars....It is as difficult and as dangerous to try to liberate a people that wishes to live in slavery as it is to try to enslave a people that wishes to live in freedom."
(Machiavelli - Discourses on Livy 1517 - quoted in their 10 year report)

Apache - Jump On It
Jet Harris, the original bass player with The Shadows has passed away age 71
So in tribute here are four versions of the seminal Apache - all classics in their own way.
This is one tune that really can be called a classic...

Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread
"Who are these superhuman beings, glorious and terrible, who share God’s joy when sinners repent, and who wipe out a third of the earth’s population near the end of time...Who are these heavenly messengers, not bound by time or space as earthbound creatures...? Are they omnipresent?...Are they all-knowing?...They are the army of God, the militia of the Ancient of Days....One can understand that when an angel appeared unannounced to Zechariah in the temple, he didn’t respond, “You little cutie.” Instead, “he was startled and was gripped with fear” (Luke 1:12)."

Saul Bass - Better by Design
With a cool name like Saul Bass,
I Guess.....
He couldn't be Anything Less.
(1920-1996)
The man who designed the movies...
"Until then, the lists of cast and crew members which passed for movie titles were so dull that projectionists only pulled back the curtains to reveal the screen once they’d finished....Saul Bass reinvented the movie title as an art form. By the end of his life, he had created over 50 title sequences for Preminger, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, John Frankenheimer and Martin Scorsese."
Ocean's Eleven (1960)
Saul Bass - Edifice and Artifice
One of 8 sections from Saul Bass' excellent Oscar winning 1968 short film 'Why Man Creates' which takes a sideways look at why man does what he does. Here we see the rise of civilisation...
(I wonder if Sid Meier ever saw this - I wasted many hours of the early '90s sending those little tiles scrolling round the screen)
