Hold Fast
One winter, three friends and I resolved to meet in south Florida, find a derelict sailboat, fix it up, and sail off into the Caribbean. Hold Fast is a “video zine” about our trip: both the story of being broke while repairing a completely wrecked boat in Ft. Lauderdale, as well as the story of what we learned about sailing as we inched across the ocean towards Haiti.

OK, Jim, there you go.

I enjoy Miami the most when it’s humid and about to rain. Most other times I would rather be somewhere else, but nothing beats South Florida during the cold humidity of an impending storm.

No, baby, here’s the way it works: We make an album; everybody complains for the first five years. And after about 10 years, people start saying, ‘Hey, you know, that’s pretty good.’ The money kicks in about 20 years later.
In the mid-’90s, ‘The Stooges’ and ‘Fun House’ turned over into the black, and all the band members who survived started getting checks. And then a little later, the same happened to ‘Raw Power.’ Little by little, that old band has defeated a lot of our shag-haired, frilly-vest-wearing crapola, corporate rock gods and goddesses of the ’60s and ’70s. The problem now, of course, is do I have 30 years to wait for royalties for this record? [Laughs.] See, because I’m 66. I think people need to hurry up and buy a record.(Source: NPR)
So I’m wondering how guilty I should feel about listening to this on Spotify. From what I understood from How Music Works not all recording artists get a cut from plays on services like Spotify. It’s not part of the standard recording contract because the medium is too new and there’s no industry standard for how royalties should work here.

I feel like I just hit a jackpot here.

Well, shit. It was a good run. I guess I’m going for Bayern.

Baumbach recalled standing outside a screening of “Kicking and Screaming,” when a woman came out and asked him to agree that the film was terrible. “I said, ‘It was all right.’” He laughed. “I couldn’t go either way—I couldn’t create a character who said, ‘Yes, it was terrible!’ or said, ‘I made it, you bitch!’ I said, ‘Oh, it was O.K.’
Noah Baumbach, The New Yorker
This is funny to me because Kicking and Screaming is one of my favorite movies. I caught it late one night on Bravo when I was around eighteen and didn’t see it again for many years, but a few scenes played out in my head all the time.
I can see why people would hate it, though. It’s not a movie you can like casually; either you can identify with some of the characters or you just hate it.
