Here are some videos I found from dublab.com's Music Monday event, "A LABRAT MATINEE VI: selections from an astral projectionist":

In an effort to solve global problems through the promotion of wide spread meditation, the David Lynch Foundation will launch an internet television channel on April 4th.  DLF.tv kicks off with a concert featuring Paul McCartney, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper and more.

I like things that encourage me to meditate.  If I can get it going for more than 5 days in a row, its has a very nice effect.

Teaching people routines and techniques for clearing the mind of thoughts for extended periods of time in order to help cultivate contentment in each of us may be an important key to improving our world.  

Also, if you've never seen Lynch's Twin Peaks TV series, it's one of the best things ever.  My friend Erin made me stay up all night and watch like 14 episodes when she heard I never saw it.  You should do that too.

Twin Peaks on Netflix

As a web developer with a commerical art education, I’ve said for a long time that knowing how to use multimedia (design, video, sound, music, programming, writing, speech, etc…) is becoming a simple matter of being an effective communicator.  

The internet and the prevalence of cheap computing tools are making multimedia communication and comprehension a matter of basic literacy.   Putting clips of media together with a computer may soon become as basic as putting words together with a pen.

Now that almost everyone has some kind of computer and can cut, copy and distribute material easily, intellectual property laws with nonflexible, +70 year constraints are becoming a serious speech limit.  

Even if an entity has the legal right to the fair use of an idea, the litigation price and process may force them into submission.  

This film uses the mashup musician Girl Talk as a fun narrative device, but applies his situation to medicine, science, the progression of various global societies with differing intellectual property views, and the entire state of human ideas, how they’re formed from previous intellectual fodder and who has the right to own and control them.  

If you think the copyright battle is just about downloading music and film, please see this movie.  

We were fortunate enough to have a discussion with the Director Brett Gaylor and intellectual property attorney and opinion leader Lawrence Lessig.

It's not distributed yet, but you can save it at Netflix:

This was an interesting concept:  half hip hop video / half documentary about a social issue-- gentrification in Detroit.

Reformat the Planet: Great movie about people who like to make music from old 8-bit hardware and gaming systems.
