Bear Piss and Beck Covers Velvet Underground

kinda stumped on this one. All I can say is call the number and forward to your friends. Totally worth the awkward call.

In other news, Beck is trying to out-hipster everyone again by forming a record club that slowly cover full albums from back in the dizzy. Posts about a song a week. He can do that. He's Beck. Although let it be noted that Beck's first cover is "Waiting For My Man" by Velvet Underground. Hey Beck-tard: the song is called "I'm Waiting For The Man". Its about scratchin your addiction crazy, waiting for your heroin dealer to meet you on the 6train on Lex and 125th in NYC. So wipe that smile off your LA face and get the title right. Lou Reed should slap you with a bagel. Lucky for you, you are Beck and the cover is f-ing amazing. (sub topic: Velvet Underground, along with Jane's Addiction and Me First and The Gimme Gimme's, might be the best band name ever)

HEY MILWAUKEE: Wanna Film Your World For A Night? + Looking for Photos and Film Footage from Milwaukee

I am pulling together a short film where I need tons and tons of Milwaukee-based photos and film footage that will be the foundation of the film. NOTE:***Sound doesn't matter - just images, cool angles, shots, movement - your world!! I don't want to give away the flow or premise of the film so if you have footage and want to recycle it and contribute to this project - high five! - and email me for the full story and plan for this short film. I am creating this film initially to submit to the Milwaukee Film Fest and then subsequent festivals....yes, you will get credit! :)

So, two things here:

1) I have a nifty little FLIP camera to lend you to film you (although its probably against my better judgement - ha) and your crazy little night or day out in Milwaukee. Or rock your own business and hand me a tape. Sound doesn't matter - just images, cool angles, shots, movement - your world!!

2) I am looking for cool, Milwaukee based film clips or still images. Black and white or color - doesn't matter. The weirder the footage, the better. Things like:
- basement shows
- nights out
- DJs and bars
- kickin it with friends
- city scapes
- skate films
- scratchy old super 8mm from your momma's attic
- random shots around your school or coffee shop or bar or where ever you kick it.
- your crap on Facebook or Flickr - just send me the link to the photo album!


Please reply here as a comment, call me at 414-530-4207 or email howie@establishmentproductions.com for more info.

I hope to have everything pulled together by Fri May 29th - hope to hear from you soon!
