I had a good day yesterday, watching 4 films :) "The Last First: Winter K2" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39150288/) - a rather heavy one to start with, about an expedition up the #mountain #K2 that goes badly wrong. Next was "The Wind's Thirst" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39172060/) about some indigenous Colombians at the mercy of #coal extraction and #WindFarm projects redirecting river water and subjecting them to violence. "Hell's Army" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt39830102/) - was very interesting - about the origins of the #WagnerGroup and their involvement in various wars. In the Q&A afterwards, they said that some former Wagner Group members are now security on #Russia's "Shadow Fleet" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_shadow_fleet) Last was "Notes From The Underground" (https://www.sheffdocfest.com/film/notes-underground) about the #HipHop music scene in #CapeTown and how it developed under #apartheid up to the present day. In their Q&A they said they spent 34 days in 2017 filming, but lost all the footage in the burglary :( After mourning for a while, they then had to go back and shoot it all again. There were loads of other interesting-looking films I would like to watch, but I could only make the Sunday :( There was also a #BurningMan series on #HBO (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29033873) that they showed a couple of episodes from, but I was too late to get tickets. I really need to look out for that as my mate said it was good! #FilmFestival #Documentary #Sheffield

Alltså, jag är närmare 50 än 40. Har aldrig sysslat med musik. (Förutom någon trubadurlåt och lite sång i duschen.) Men jag vill så gärna lära mig att göra beats med samplingar. Har haft en po-33 ko i flera år. Lekt lite med den då och då. Nu har jag en ep-133 k.o ii men jag blev inte bättre för det! Om ni bara visste vilka konstiga läten och grötiga ljud jag tvingar ur mina maskiner... #musik #sampling #dnb #hiphop #ep133

RIP Afrika Bambaataa Afrika Bambaataa was one of the early leaders & innovators of hip hop and is perhaps best known for taking Kraftwerk's electronic pulse & reshaping it into the global (and early) hip hop hit Planet Rock (I still have my original Tommy Boy 12" bought on a trip to the States); just genius. A classic case of the power of the DJ/producer to push innovation then & subsequently. He'll be missed. #HipHop #music #RIPAfrikaBambaataa https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2evppm30p7o
