Wilco is throwing a festival. It’s called Solid Sound. They are playing it. Their side projects are playing it. They are curating it. It is taking place at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA August 13 – 15. What more could a Wilco fan ask for? Check out the promo for the festival above.
This is a great piece of techie nostalgia. It’s a TV piece about the computers that created the graphics from TRON. It aired in 1982 and features Members Only jackets and a computer that seems to be as powerful as WOPR from WarGames. That’s “War Operation Plan Response” for those of you not familiar with that cinema classic.
Below is an amazingly ridiculous trailer for the original TRON.
The MOMA will be running a retrospective of Burton’s career from November 22, 2009–April 26, 2010. Works from his wide-ranging roles as a director, producer, writer, concept artist for live-action and animated films, fiction writer, photographer and illustrator will be included. Basically they’ll be featuring a ton of weird shit.
