listening to: http://www.myspace.com/tallshipsfromfalmouth

So while looking on the excellent BOOOOOOOM i came across this episode of  film maker, Lance bangs' documentary series, BANGS.


Its pretty inspiring seeing someone just making for the sheer love of making. plus guitar skateboard!? YES!
Lance Bangs wiki : Lance Bangs (born September 8, 1972) is an American filmmaker, documentarian, and music video director who has created videos for Sonic YouthNirvanaGreen Day, the Arcade Fire, the ShinsThe ThermalsBelle & SebastianMenomenaYeah Yeah YeahsR.E.M.,Mike WattDeath Cab for CutieThe Black KeysKanye West, and Pavement. He directed the David Cross film Let America Laugh.

I really like his documentary style... super relaxed, funny, natural and wonderfully observed. it runs through his music videos aswell.

Im sure most of you will have seen some of his work somewhere. If not have a nice afternoon of looking thorugh his pretty extensive website: http://www.lancebangs.com/
