Wherein the blogosphere discovers Concrete TV
Looks like Fleshbot and BoingBoing have found Ron Rocheleau's Concrete TV, perhaps my most favorite show on MNN ever. Created on two VCRs with worn out 'Record' and 'Pause' buttons, it was The Cut-Up Method of Brion Gysin channeled through video (I think he's moved on to digital tools since I last saw him.) It was collage that could make Nam June Paik quiver. It was montage that could make Eisenstein cry. It mixed good porn, bad movies and even badder music videos in a way that made pre-ritalin MTV look like the work of hacks. Concrete TV was mashup before most of those folks were out of grade school.
And if you haven't guessed, I thought it was pretty cool. Go check it out if you can.

Riveting. I felt like I was flipping through channels on one hundred cinemax after dark nights...
