Beautiful

(on the right, just a sketch...)
Yesterday was the Vernal Equinox here in the northern hemisphere. I hope your Ostara/1st Day of Spring was most festive (and if you're in the southern hemisphere that your Mabon/1st Day of Fall was groovy as well). I didn't do too much, just went out to Newark Ohio to meet up with people I don't get to see much, and meet some new folks. Goodtimes.

So anyway, here's something interesting. I found via Nerdcore a link to the film Beautiful Losers
About the film:
BEAUTIFUL LOSERS celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation

In the early 1990's a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the "establishment" art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture.

Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes "in" as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today's youth.

I really liked it. The trailer is below, and if you want you can watch the complete film (broken down into several parts via Youtube) you can do that here.



For music... well we have to have something a little seasonal, so here's Green Man by XTC
