“The Life of the World to Come: A film by Rian Johnson is a very special filmed live performance of The Mountain Goats’ recent album of the same name. Shot with minimal cameras and with no allowance for retakes, John Darnielle plays through the whole album, switching between piano and guitar, resequencing the album’s running order in the process while joined by a special guest for two songs.
…In support of Record Store Day on April 20th, 4AD is making available 1500 copies of the film on DVD, which will be for sale at stores participating in RSD. The limited edition DVD is presented within a gorgeous custom designed 12-page book with liner notes by John Darnielle, created specifically for this project by Horse & Buggy Press in Durham, NC.”
The film will also be screening at certain venues; click through the link for more details.
I can’t wait to see this.

A friend just sent me the link to AnyClip, a site that indexes movie clips for your viewing pleasure. The site just launched at SXSW, so expect a few bumps initially, but really, what an awesome idea. When you find the clip you’re looking for you can view, share on Facebook or your blog, and even mark the film in your Netflix queue or buy it via Amazon or iTunes.
I’ll be sure to let you know when I find my favorite scene from Hitchcock’s Man from the South. Those Zippo lighters aren’t so reliable now are they?

ReceSs Video of the Day pt. 2.
Oh shit. I spoke too soon. Now I have no idea what the best receSs video of the year is.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,…and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
