Cycling the Frame is a beautiful short film that follows a very young, unknown named Tilda Swinton as she bicycles along the Berlin Wall in 1988. The director made another version of the film in 2009. Tilda is grown, the wall has fallen, the world is different. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg0O...

I realized an excellent genre of music is "we're a bunch of fun people having a party." Examples: B-52s, Chic, and Parliament. Are there any contemporary examples?
