Shiny Things

Some interesting products suggested by our German correspondent Peter including the Living Colors lamp which projects and changes the color of your boring white walls using an ipod-like touch wheel remote and sexy Svarovski Active Crystal headphones, both by Philips. And, the liquid surface of LaCie's new Golden Disc could be home "for your precious data" (500GB).

Quittin' Time

Utah's favorite news anchor man and local celeb Dick Norse, seen in this picture 20 years younger than he must be now even with more soft focus than Barbara Walters, is finally retiring after 43 years at KSL. Good on ya Dick!

On The Silver Globe

Continuing on the thread of my recent Communist era film discoveries like Andrei Tarkovsky's "Stalker", I can recommend another iron curtain curiosity called "On The Silver Globe" directed by Andrzej Zulawski. This tale of stranded Astronauts and their generations of wicked tribal offspring on some far away planet is excellent, even if it's slightly tedious towards the third act. Some chunks of the movie are missing thanks to the Polish Ministry of Culture being overtly against it and the hours upon hours of psychological screen chewing dialog is stressful on subtitle readers. Yet, "On The Silver Globe" is a treasure trove of brilliant design choices including clever locations (beaches, deserts, a cavernous salt mine cathedral) combined with great photography. The costume design specifically is some of the best I've ever seen. Something akin to a cross between Siouxsie Sioux, Julie Taymor and the brilliant work in Frank Herbert's original Dune. Anyways, you can read more about it at IFC, Stylus & Slant and it's well worth your time if you can handle obscure art films.

Still Glowing

The haus party on Saturday went remarkably well. My thanks to everyone who came to support the new night and to Phillip Baum who did an swell job laying down a great opening set. I'm happy to announce that NCM will be bringing NiteLite back to W. on the third Saturdays of each month for the next few, so plan on getting deep with us again soon!

The dates are as follows: Oct 20th with Jesse Walker and Dan Morris, Nov 17 with special guest Matthew Bandy - PinkSF - SWANK CD Release tour, and Dec 15th with Jesse Walker and Phillip Baum. Some details are subject to change but that gives you a preview of what I'm thinking.

The DJ set's from Saturday will be available to download at this website tonight or tomorrow for anyone who missed it or wants a copy. Thanks again friends for making it such a great night!

NiteLite Shines This Saturday At W. Lounge

Somewhere deep in the ice of space...

...there is a lite that never goes out.

NewCityMovement is back in full effect this Saturday at the W. Lounge. Join us for an exciting night of futuristic underground house called NiteLite. Enjoy the music, good people and liquorhol while you're blinded by waves of color from our dual high-velocity NiteLite organs. DJ PHILLIP BAUM is opening the night starting at 9pm. Arrive early if possible, it's going to be FUN.

Good Vietnamese food is hard to come by in Salt Lake since the rapid decline of the once great Cafe Trang, but I'm happy to say I think I've found a decent replacement for yummy PHO and flat noodles. Try Indochine on 230 S. 1300 East. The service is still working some kinks out (the waiter spilled beer on us trying to carry it on a try), but the food is pretty good and they have great fresh spring rolls.

Geeks will surely enjoy the best 404 Error pages. [Via TMN]

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

A book and now a short film produced in part by Children of Men director Jonás Cuarón, THE SHOCK DOCTRINE by Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America’s “free market” policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.
