@muffinbottoms No, it was a stoop on 4th street bet 1st and 2nd ave... there was a record store there called Jammyland... I don't think it's there anymore...
This video is absolutely amazing! Every time I watch this film it makes me love the slackers' music just a little bit more. Again, thank you for this work of art.
f you want to hear something made by the slackers this decade, check out our new album, the great rocksteady swindle. you can listen to free samples plus there's a preview on you tube.
That sounds great! Good luck with everything! Have fun with it! Can I give you a little advice? It served me well.... Don't wait to be assigned to work on projects.. you gotta love enough that you want to do it no matter what...
Cool! Yeah, back in the day when I was in school a hundred years ago.. ha ha... all of the production 1 classes shot and cut their first films on 16mm... not sure if they do that at all anymore... They were already only cutting digitally once I was graduating. Yeah, we shot it in NYC... It's really exciting that you're starting out... I remember how that felt...
Well, it was a long time ago.. I was in film school at the time and they had them in the film dept... my first couple of student films were shot that way... This particular camera belonged to a friend of mine who let Vic and I borrow it for the day. It was a lot of fun... we basically just ran around the east village for a few hours, dug around in the slackers "rehearsal" space for a few "props" and dropped the film at the lab that afternoon! Too much info? Ha ha
someone should post more slackers videos its mostly live post on you tube which is good but there should be also more in studio recorded songs which i can play when my friends have shitty rap music on and i want to hear my favorite slackers songs. GET ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's insane.. I keep finding this random shit out just like the drummer from the World/Inferno Friendship Society is also the drummer of the Dresden Dolls.
1st wave (traditional jamaican ska, 50s-60s): Desmond Dekker Bob Marley and the Wailers The Skatalites 2 tone ska (British ska revival,70s-80s): The Specials The English Beat Madness 3rd Wave (American ska-punk, late 80s-present): Reel Big Fish Streetlight Manifesto Suburban Legends Skankin Pickle The Cat Empire (not "pure" ska, but a really sick mix of ska, reggae, funk, latin, and jazz from Australia)
Well you got to at least try and say something to him, if he ever plays in your neck of the woods go see em and after the show go talk to em, he is real nice and easy to talk to!
