Here's a little 30 min Tom Waits piece "A Day in Vienna" from 1978, very cool.
I saw this recently too. It's a bit of an 'everything's shit' type rant with little in the way of solutions but I still thought he was right in what he said. He's absolutely spot in his assessment of the political status quo.Not sure where else to put it, (it's a short interview) but I like this, I know he gets up everyone's nose, but he makes a few good points here and at least he is passionate about it. So, good for you Russell on taking on Paxman and congrats on your guest post as editor of New Statesman.

I saw that a couple weeks ago. It was good, but I thought it was a little odd that some of these people from Detroit were saying things like, "no one ever sounded like that," when Detroit is where everyone sounded like that. MC5? Stooges? I think a lot of the hook there, what makes the story interesting enough to do a documentary about, is the fact that they were black guys playing that kind of music. Which ultimately made the whole thing feel a little weird to me. Still a good movie though.A Band Called Death about three brothers from Detroit who preceeded the punk movement by a couple of years.
?wanted to know more about what happened with his family.
