With its heavy intro, a fine smooth groove, and very slick lyrics, Papa Was A Rolling Stone has always been a favorite of mine. Most well known in its Temptations incarnation, Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield wrote the song originally for The Undisputed Truth. And as for most Undisputed/Temptations songs, my favorite lies in the Truth.

It was in the last decade of the previous century when I experienced my musical coming of age. TUPTB Rap 2, Ill Communication, We Rock Hard, Homework, and Illadelph Halflife layed out the tracks and I only had to follow. However, something was missing. Something slick, something smooove. It turned out to be FUNK. Not as I knew it, but FUNK from the EIGHTIES…

This weekend, Eindhoven is filled with young men and women clad in baggy trousers with tatood butts on ghetto bikes delivering goodies all over town during the European Cycle Messengers Championships 2008. Of course I had to check that out.

As most of you probably know, lots of illegal bike racing has been going on in the south of France this week. As we cannot and shall not approve such a thing, we momentarily shift our attention from those clad in lycra to those dressed in baggy trousers that are free to ride.
Anticipating the upcoming release of The Collective’s third moutainbike film, Seasons (april 2008), this Weekendmovie features their first self-titled film, The Collective (2004). The Collective is a group of mountain bikers, filmmakers and photographers that ride bikes, shoot films and take photographs (duh!). Most of you are familiar with their second film, Roam (2006), that has been shown here before. So you’ll probably like this one too.
To freek, who has been made from the same sportswood.

Update: Seasons film added.

The third edition of the Tour of California leaves Palo Alto this Sunday and what better way to commemorate that with Hollywoods most successful cycling flick (excluding ET): Breaking Away (1979). Especially when you consider the rumoured and supposed come-back of il Re Leone himself.
In Breaking Away, the focus is on cycling and a boy’s obsession with it. But within the story lies a moral tale. It tells of growing up and learning to see the bigger picture.
A red bike of course.
How can you design low-cost housing projects in total disregard for aesthetics? I can’t accept that, I’m sorry!

A Sequel: by Tammi & Marvin, the 5th Dimension, and Marlena Shaw.
Seed thrown on a soil naturally fertile but totally unprepared would be an advance almost entirely lost. If it were once tilled the produce will be greater; tilling it a second, a third time, might not merely double and triple, but quadruple or decuple the produce, which will thus augment in a much larger proportion than the advances increase, and that up to a certain point, at which the produce will be as great as possible compared with the advances.
Past this point, if the advances be still increased, the produce will still increase, but less, and always less and less until the fecundity of the earth being exhausted and art unable to add anything further, an addition to the advances will add nothing whatever to the produce. Anne Robert Jacques Turgot.

Jonathan Ross is sort of a connaisseur of Japanese flicks, or at least he poses as such in his, not very unknown to the Och audience, documentary Asian Invasion. In his chapter on Japanese anime, Jonathan pays special attention to the works of Hayao Miyazaki. Even more attention paying Ochers may remember him as the director of Mononoke-Hime (1997), an Och’s Weekend Movie featured in our cinema last year’s summer. So on Jonathan’s advise and Och’s request we present another Miyazaki flick as this week’s Och’s Weekend Movie: Spirited Away (2001).
