It’s The Beatles Yellow Submarine Movie

visual and videos 5 November 2009 | Comments Off

There are those who believe (as I do) that Yellow Submarine is an allegory for World War II, or the Twentieth Century European wars in general. Here are some of the supposed congruences.
Blue Meanies = Nazis This one is fairly easy to state because of the vagueness of the assertion. However, many of the remaining congruences appear to support it.
Pepperland = Europe at Peace
Dreadful Flying Glove = Luftwaffe
Anti-Music Missiles = V1 buzz-bombs
Clowns = V2 rockets – press the button, nothing happens in between, then BOOM at the other end in pepperland.
England = Ally across the water
Beatles = British military, or Americans if you want to push it.
Apple Bonkers = Aerial bombing

…it goes on and on. Admittedly, some of these derive from each other instead of supporting each other; however, it still makes the movie more fun to watch.
The initial invasion of Pepperland equates to the Anschluss and blitzkrieg invasion of Poland. The Lord Mayor’s denial of the invasion represents the air of denial and appeasement that prevailed at the time, and the dispatch of Young Fred to get help signified the Dunkirk debacle.

If we continue on in this vein, the Beatles agreeing to help would represent the people of the Allies agreeing to fight the threat and pitching in as democracies (mostly).

I don’t know to what degree this makes sense and to what degree it’s self-constructed and self-supported, but it does make for fun during viewings.

The point.

The Point, although created as a family film possesses many existentialist concepts. A young boy, Oblio is banished from his home because he lacked a visible point (on the top of his head). Throughout Oblio and Arrow’s (ref: previous nodes) journey from The Land of Point to The Pointed Forest they meet quite a few characters, namely The Rock Man. The Rock Man presents to Oblio and Arrow the idea that, simply because one does not have an apparent/visible point (on the top of their head) they are not in fact pointless, per the reason they were kicked out of The Land of Point.

The Rock Man explains the relationship between the physical point and the theoretical point. As Oblio and Arrow return to The Land of Point after their journey to The Pointed Forest they come to the realization that maybe Oblio’s theoretical point is to infact be, pointless.

In conclusion,
the point of The Point is that everything has a point, even if that point is to be, pointless.

Living in the Los Angeles area exposes you to a lot of live Electro DJ’s and Artists.

There has been a huge response from scene lately.
Thanks to the huge success of great artists like Franki Chan (IHEARTCOMIX), L.A. Riots, Steve Aoki (DIM MAK), DJ AM and Acid Girls, and Villains Los Angeles has been able to hold its own in the World Electro Scene along with South America, Europe, and Japan. I have been searching for some new up and coming producers that will keep the torch burning. To name a few KeenHouse, Lazrtag, Killed by Synth, Dan Sena, On Off On, Synthamatic, After Midnight, Whiskey Pete and Bobby Bustle have really caught my attention lately. All of these acts really put on an incredible show. High energy teamed up with great production! No one really should sleep on these guys.

The proof is in the puddin!

Peep my 1st Los Angeles Artist review of Bobby Bustle.

After seeing Bobby Bustle tear it up right before Chuck Inglish of
The Cool Kids last Saturday @ TILT, I was convinced. With HARD
hitting beats, smoothed out synths, and lyrics that stick in your
mind, Bobby Bustle came correct. I’m proud to share these
exclusive UNRELEASED TRACKS with everyone. These are
the same awesome tracks that had the whole room jumpin!
Straight SOLID!

Peep these DJ FRIENDLY ORIGINAL TRACKS!
You can’t deny the MAD STEEEZ!

and be sure to stop by his Myspace and give him some L.O.V.E.

Hey guys I’m using modul8 as the visualizer.
Geeky info: we’re using an open source protocol Open Sound Control( OSC )to communicate between Traktor and Modul8 i.e. mp3 data, bmp, keys, event/cue triggers, etc.



possibly a ‘united we dance’ shirt, whatcha think?
