this documentary called everybody in the place directed by Jeremy deller

An aging raver goes to an inner-city East London High School to tell the kids that things used to different and maybe a little cooler. The kids aren't exactly sure if they should belive him. One of my new favorite music documentaries. For fans for Adam Curtis, UK Jungle, and ethnography.

Feltham Sings (2002)

Lord knows I love watching men doing their little silly manly things. As a big fan of If… the 1968 film by Lindsay Anderson, you can imagine how I felt the first time I watched Feltham Sings, a Channel4 documentary/musical about a prison for male juveniles. This experiment in reality tv has the magic any format has in its early days and because of this, doesn’t feel as exploitative as your typical contemporary cookie cutter reality shows. Feltham Sings is as fresh and heartfelt as it sounds: Feltham’s young offenders narrate the tragic stories that led them to prison and then sing a song about it in the style of their choice, from rap to jungle. Even the guards participate in some of the “music videos”. That’s it. It’s sad and heartbreaking while subtly comical: the inevitable tenderness of these teens trying to sing, brings in a touch of amateurism that is reminiscent of another favorite of mine: Konkurs, a film by Milos Forman where a series of village girls compete in a singing contest filled with screeching voices, eccentric performances and really interesting 1960’s Czech hairstyles.

So sweet to send them to thank them for your shared experience, and I’d much rather look at one of these than ten pics from that day

Being out of the house as much as poss when ur young

go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀

Stop listening to music/audiobooks/pods all the time

Eg in shower, on walks, during commute, making dinner, to go to sleep, getting dressed. be able to do all these comfortably in silence. then u can try phase them back in in a way where they actually contribute something and ur not just listening for the sake of it
