BLONDES IN THE JUNGLE

New art-film/comedy by Ball Deep International. On a hunt for the Fountain of Youth, three teenagers in 1980’s Honduras buy drugs, harm nature and have magical encounters.

Original soundtrack by 1987 World Beat band El Jefe and The Executive Look, featuring contributions by members of Aa, Asobi Seksu, Birthday Boyz, Vampire Weekend and Julianna Barwick.

Directed by Lev Kalman and Whitney Horn. Starring Chino Ward, Coogan Martin, Travis Nutting, Trevor Hoff, Andre Frechette III and Ingrid Schram. 2009, 16mm, Color, 50 min.

Been meaning to post this - it’s a swirly-alternative mix I played at a rooftop party this day last month and on WHFR a few weeks ago. I like it I mean it’s sorta an exercise in obviousness, which I’m really into these days.

Lev Leviev: e-LEV-ate Me Later

When I think of the 5 or 6 people that would enjoy this mix most, it’s the same people that check this blog regularly. So if you’re reading this and it’s May, this is literally for you.

Oh and it’s also dedicated to the Lakers who either win easily or make an embarrassing mess.

Above: The real and fictitious John A’s. It’ll be like that - in your mind.

As part of Fractious Press’ Ka!FraBOOMctious bizaar, we’ve got a special screening at the Ding Dong Lounge this Saturday at 2pm. Our program pairs 2 of our fiction movies with their home-movie counterparts.

First, Maine’s great and ominous waters, then in-yo-face nostalgia on the outskirts of NYC.
