    Flemish broadcasters want to push TV watching back to the stone age. They say delay tv, dvr, etc is ruining their product. They want people to watch channels, not programmes. Muwahaha.

    The hair stood up on the back of my neck watching Arcade Fire play Reading on BBC 3 the other night. The band has uploaded the entire show to YouTube.

    Erwin Olaf Interview from Katharina on Vimeo.

    I don’t have a lot of Dutch heroes. The two that I have are both photographers. Erwin Olaf is one of them. VPRO television aired a marathon interview with this 51 year old photographer this evening, in which he talked about his work and various tv, film and documentary fragments that meant something to him. He came intelligent, humble, inspired and passionate. Feedback on Twitter re: the show and Erwin was extremely positive (#1 trending topic) all evening and went into overdrive during his fiery rant near the end of the show, in which he called for people to unite, be brave and strike back at the growing intolerance and violence against gay men and women in our nation’s capital in particular.

    Lost track of British Sea Power, so I missed this lovely tune from 2009, set to a scene from Man of Aran, the classic 1934 film. The band did a complete soundtrack for the movie which was released on DVD. They performed the whole soundtrack live at the British Film Institute last year.

    First I heard of this. Boardwalk Empire, a new series on HBO from Terence Winter (writer, The Sopranos) and Martin Scorcese based on a book by Nelson Johnson. It is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition era and stars Steve Buscemi. Starts September 17.
