Lollapalooza
It's almost that time again - starting this Friday, the masses will once again converge upon Grant Park, Chicago to see this year's arguably best concert-festival line-up. I'll be there, along with a few other KWUR folks, and we're going to be reporting live as only KWUR DJs can. So, keep your eye on the blog in the next few days for pictures, updates on the shenanigans, and whatever else I feel like posting after hanging out with crusty hippies at the Blues Traveler show.

Subversive Cinema: R.I.P. Bruce Conner, 1933-2008
"Bruce Conner, a San Francisco artist renowned for working fluently across media, died at his home of natural causes on Monday. He was 74...
...Mr. Conner first got noticed for the short films he assembled from scavenged documentary and B-movie footage. Several of his films, including "A Movie" (1958), a sort of paean to human failure, and "Crossroads" (1977), are regarded as classics of independent filmmaking, even though Mr. Conner shot no original footage for them...
...Mr. Conner announced his own death erroneously on two occasions, once sending an obituary to a national art magazine, and later writing a self-description for the biographical encyclopedia Who Was Who in America."
Breakaway, 1966
Obituary
