Ya like jazz?
YEAH! I DO! EVEN MORE after watching this!
A 2.5-hour epic deep dive into how jazz is spun into a Cold War tool, used as power, propaganda and politics. You’re telling me the CIA used a Louis Armstrong concert as cover to help assassinate Patrice Lumumba??!! Though used as a weapon, important to see how jazz also served as a voice, a vital bridge between African anti-colonialism and the US civil rights movement.
This was totally eye-opening, and combined with fantastic archival footage, groovy tracks and unique editing, I was very impressed

Kid gets beaten up by his dad for learning the piano in secret.
My dad used to ask if he could sit quietly in the living room and close his eyes while I practised because he just wanted to hear me play.
Thank you mum and dad 😭

The Substance 2024
I saw maybe 50% of this, not because I walked out after 70 min, but because my field of vision was the small cracks between my fingers half shielding my eyes from the vilest body horror I’ve ever witnessed
