Hail the Pho King!!
This is how we spent our Super Bowl, watching Reinhold compete in the annual Super Bowl Of Pho at Mekong. Highlights include the crazy Asian laughing, the "REINHOLD" chanting, and the almost full-on 'hurl' that would have made great viral video.
Reinhold is the Pho King of Mekong. All hail the king!
Music that Tears Itself Apart, Jason Webley at Gallery 5
"Jason Webley is a musician who began as a busker, playing accordion in the streets of Seattle, but has since moved in-doors and on stage, playing venues and festivals all across the world. His music is a combination of folk, gypsy, punk, and sea shanties." - www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Webley
The talented Jason Webley played Gallery 5 a few weeks ago and put on a great show. Kevin Orlosky had a chance to ask him about his music and inspirations.
Ozric Tentacles, 'Mooncalf'
Our buddy Todd loves these guys and went to cover them last year sometime for us. He finished this crazy video the other day for us to share with you.
This Week Buried in Press Releases #3
We have compiled all the music news RVA has received during the last week.
VA Indie Film Fest Schedule!
All of these films look entertaining, informative, or both. Personally, I'm the most excited about Meet Me in the Bottom and Trenches- an extremely important local cultural issue, and indie sci-fi!
DAILY FIX: Die Antwoord
What is this music coming outta South Africa? I was laughing at first then I was confused and now I am on the fence. Thoughts on this Vanilla ICE looking dude and his crew? Thanks Ben for passing this on.
When You Are Strange.
Pretty stoked about seeing this. I wonder how they went about getting all this original footage?
Color pictures from Czarist Russia
I stumbled upon these images a few months back, but didn't really look into the gallery. Now that I'm seeing them again, it is a fascinating documentation of the last years of Czarist Russia. The image above is probably my favorite, showing classic Russian architecture alongside the beginnings of the industrial revolution, and the images I have selected to show here involve physical representations of such lines- the old and the new, the rich and the poor.
From Alex Gridenko:
Born in St. Petersburg and educated as a chemist, Prokudin-Gorskii devoted his career to the advancement of photography. In the early 1900s, he developed an ingenious technique of taking colour photographs. The same object was captured in black and white on glass plate negatives, using red, green and blue filters. He then presented these images in colour in slide lectures using a light-projection system involving the same three filters.
