 Seguimos en este día de documentale sy toca revisar el gran trabajo que hace Jon Day al revisar la historia de Die Antwoord, en colaboración con Roger Ballen y narrado por 16 Jones, la hija de la dupla maravilla de Nina y Yo-Landi.Debo confesar que mi conocimiento sobre Die Antwoord era limitado. Al ver el documental pude reconocer algunas de sus rolas o videos, gracias a la imagen visual, pero no es precisamente una agrupación musical a la que le siguiera el rastro. Tras ver este documental mi apreciación sobre ellos no hace que quiera conseguir todos sus discos, pero me ayuda a tener una valoración distinta especialmente sobre el trabajo artístico y propositivo de estos. El documental es visualmente poderoso y la dirección de. Jon Day, quien ha hecho mucho trabajo en videos musicales con Arcade Fire, Lily Allen, ha producido en televisión incluso haciendo proyectos deportivos, y ahora co-dirige junto a Jack Shih, nos trae lo que es la revisión de la vida de músicos más poderosa del año, sin monos. La historia nos trae la fábula idílica de cómo dos personas eran perdedores hasta que se conocieron, y siguieron siendo perdedores pero acompañados. Al momento en que estaban en una situación crítica, gracias al esfuerzo y dedicación (y un cambio de imagen) alcanzan la fama con la que jamás soñaron, y aunque no eran populares en su tierra, se convirtieron en un fenómeno cultural que llegó a influenciar a personajes tan diversos que van desde Jack Black hasta Moonchild Sanelly.La propuesta visual del documental, elaborado a lo largo de los cinco años, ayuda a comunicar lo que simples cabezas parlantes no podrían. Recreaciones, testimonios, conciertos, y videoclips que entremezclan la realidad con la subjetividad que ocurre dentro de las cabezas de Ninja, Sixteen y Yo-Landis, es algo que envidiaría cualquier película de ficción surreal de directores de alto calibre en Hollywood. Este seguimiento es curado y muestra la versión aprobada por los artistas, y a pesar de estas limitaciones que impiden un acercamiento más honesto y directo con las etapas bajas de su historia, hacen un producto atractivo a quien empiece a verlo. En uno de los momentos de entrevistas, en donde se entrevista a D.J. Hi-Tek, el DJ y tercera rueda del triciclo musical sudafricano, este menciona que parte de lo que ha vuelto a la agrupación relevante, es que nunca son aburridos. Puede que en su música o videos encuentres algo que es meramente un gancho para atraerte, pero no se queda ahí, y continua desafiando al espectador para mostrarle más sobre sus propuestas, segundo a segundo. Es exactamente lo que pasa con el documental, el cual es visual y narrativamente poderoso. El documental se volverá a proyectar el viernes 13 de Junio en la Cineteca FICG, acá en Guadalajara.

#4 A @Christadelphians Video: Description: While Jesus was taken away to be crucified, and on the cross, he interacted with many different people. Some of them loved him; some hated him; others were doing their job, incidentally providing unintended witness to the fact that he was Israel's king and high priest. These encounters show Jesus' care for his mother, his compassion for the suffering that would come upon his nation, and the scriptures that were in his mind.

Can the humble homing pigeon teach us something about what it means to return home, to be at home? Do the stories we tell and read about home influence our understanding of homes, homecomings, homelands? Do our experience and memory of homelessness, exile, and return have something to do with how we relate to the animal world as such? And could dwelling perhaps be the preferable alternative to thinking about and longing for home? I discuss all this and more with the author of a remarkable and charming book on pigeons, what home means to them, what home means to us.

This episode is part 3 of a 3-part series on the Tandy Color Computer, also known as the CoCo.  I have special guest hosts to help me again this month: John Linville and Neil Blanchard of the “CoCo Crew Podcast”.  Join us as we discuss Coco magazines, books, software, modern upgrades, emulation, Web sites and much more.  I also go over my new acquisitions, tell you about upcoming vintage computer shows and cover some podcast feedback. Finally, we also have audio segments from no less than 4 different CoCo fans who share with us their memories and thoughts about the Tandy Color Computer.  Thank you to Michael Moore, Rick Adams, Jon Day, and Tony Cappellini for your contributions. Note that Floppy Days now has a Facebook page where you can discuss the show or vintage computers in general.  Search for “Floppy Days” on Facebook.
