Bizzle gets some Dunkers. (by GixxxerG)

Why haven’t we seen this gag more often? Or is it just that this one is done better than most?

austinkleon: Brian Eno, Michael Stipe and Stephen Colbert perform an a cappella rendition of “Lean on Me.” I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor….there are physiological benefits, obviously: You use your lungs in a way that you probably don’t for the rest of your day, breathing deeply and openly. And there are psychological benefits, too: Singing aloud leaves you with a sense of levity and contentedness. And then there are what I would call “civilizational benefits.” When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That’s one of the great feelings — to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.— Brian Eno So fantastic. So Colbert.

American Juggalo (by Sean Dunne)

This 23-minute documentary is disturbing, funny, enlightening, and very well made. Definitely NSFW, but completely and utterly fascinating. 

Everything I love about a great documentary is in this short about the Gathering of the Juggalos, a family reunion of sorts for Insane Clown Posse superfans. The filmmakers all-but-ignore the music, choosing instead to focus on the crowd. It’s a chance to visit everyday people I’ve never met, sharing who they are in a place and an environment that I would never be in myself. It’s a peek at an entire culture I would never be comfortable in, and yet I recognize so many who are like people I have known. 

There’s no narration, no judgement, no thesis to be fulfilled, no point to prove. Just voices being heard, sharing moments, emotions, speaking freely about a life they love. 

This is the post-millenium Heavy Metal Parking Lot, capturing a piece of unashamed American culture and its people in their moment, being who they want to be. And they don’t really care what you think.

P.S. - photographer Daniel Cronin has a great series of portraits he’s done at this same event over the years with a 4x5 camera. It’s a great companion piece to this documentary.

WATERLOGGED OWEGO (photo via PressConnects.com) This is Owego, NY as of early September 8, 2011. It’s a horrible sight and I feel a sickening sadness just thinking about all the small businesses and homes that won’t recover from this. The building right smack in the middle of this photo next to the white church. It’s the Tioga Theater. One of those great old music halls that was converted into a movie theater after touring plays, performers, and rock-n-roll shows became less popular. It was a great place for to see a film and feel like it was special. The big yellow building in the upper left corner is Riverrow Bookshop, a fantastic place you could buy books old and new, along with old maps, photos, and all kinds of collectable ephemera. The had wonderful collections of old pulp fiction, history books, sheet music and vinyl LPs in the basement. Here’s what it looked like this week: (via OwegoPennysaver.com) There are many businesses that will never recover from this. Those that can won’t be the same.  If you want to help provide support for those affected by this devastating flooding, please give to the Broome County United Way.
