Romney: 'I mean I would never do that for my brother'
Full Romney Audio Part 1(36:39)

Full Transcript of the Mitt Romney Secret Video
This really has to be the most inept Presidential campaign if not of all time, then certainly of my lifetime. I am amazed that anyone could still be thinking of giving this man their vote to have him become the forty fifth President of the United States...Deepchord - Jeanneau (Free Download)

IA MIX 75: Deepchord
Last July we conducted one of our most in
depth interviews with Deepchord aka Rod Modell. We discussed his past,
present and album 'Hash Bar Loops', the result of Rod's visit to
Amsterdam. A year has passed since we last spoke to Rod and he's on the
cusp of releasing his follow up album 'Sommer', a more lighter and
ethereal record released on Soma records. To celebrate the album Rod has
kindly recorded this stripped down, deeply experimental Deepchord mix
encompassing his favorite tracks of the moment.

Neil Young: Waging Heavy Peace
“I can still remember how it smelled when I first pulled in here — I was driving this car,” he said, recalling the trip in 1970 when he bought the place and named it Broken Arrow, after the Buffalo Springfield song.
The author of some of the spookiest, darkest songs in the American folk canon seemed jolly on this late-August day. Even if he was accompanied by a reporter, generally not his favorite species of human, the motion soothed him. “I’ve always been better moving than I am standing still,” he said.
Young, 66, spotted this land out the window of a plane banking out of San Francisco four decades ago and now owns nearly 1,000 acres of it. His song “Old Man” is a tribute to the caretaker who first showed him the place.
“I ran out of money, so I had to sell some of it,” he said. “That’s O.K., because it was too big. Everything happens for a reason.” He kept his eyes on the narrow road through the giant redwoods.
It was hard to reconcile the affable guy motoring along on a sunny day with his past incarnations: the portentous folkie of “Ohio,” the rabid anti-commercialist who gave MTV the musical middle finger with “This Note’s For You,” the angry rocker who threatened to hit the cameramen at Woodstock with his guitar. He was happy partly because he was here.
“For whatever you’re doing, for your creative juices, your geography’s got a hell of a lot to do with it,” he said. “You really have to be in a good place, and then you have to be either on your way there or on your way from there.”
We would spend a few hours creeping along — he drove slowly but joyfully, as if the automobile were a recent invention — on our way there or on our way from there, the ranch where Young lives with his wife, Pegi, and their son, Ben. His longtime producer and friend, David Briggs, who died in 1995, hated making records here, deriding the hermetic refuge as a “velvet cage.”
In addition to the studio, where more than 20 records have been made, there is an entire building given over to model trains, another where vintage cars are stored and another piled with his master recordings. Llamas and cows roam under cartoonishly large trees. It seems like a made-up place, an open-air fortress of eccentricity meant to protect the artist who lives there. But what it has most of all is not a lot of people.
“I like people, I just don’t have to see them all the time,” he said, laughing. David Crosby, his bandmate in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, used to describe the complicated route into his ranch as “my filtering system,” Young said.
He made a bunch of rights and lefts through the forest before getting out to unlock the gate. Others might have an electronic gate, but Young likes the mechanical experience of slipping a key into a padlock and swinging something open. He is fundamentally analog, despite the occasional electronic excesses in his music. He likes amps with knobs that go to 12 and things that click when you touch them.
I made it past the filtering system because Young was promoting his autobiography, “Waging Heavy Peace,” which comes out next week. The book is elliptical and personal, with little of the period poetics of “Just Kids,” by Patti Smith, or the scabrous detail of “Life,’’ by Keith Richards...

Martina Topley-Bird & Mark Lanegan - Crystalised (The xx cover)
Last week, UK singer/Tricky collaborator Martina Topley-Bird shared this fine new cover of The xx’s “Crystalised” on her Facebook page. While details on collaborators (or the project it might be previewing) were left rather scant, it’s clear her past duet partner Mark Lanegan is taking the Oliver Sim part here. And given that the track first appeared on the SoundCloud stream of Massive Attack, whose 2010 LP featured Topley-Bird on vox, it sounds like they have that British trip-hop duo producing or performing as well.
“More to come soon,” Topley-Bird writes, so perhaps this is set for Lanegan’s forthcoming covers album or her own follow-up to Some Place Simple. Either way, it’s a great groove and their voices make a perfect frayed/silky match.

Mitt on the Mideast
To ensure Israel’s security, Mitt Romney will work closely with Israel to maintain its strategic military edge. The United States will work intensively with Turkey and Egypt to shore up the now fraying relationships with Israel that have underpinned peace in the Middle East for decades. The United States must forcefully resist the emergence of anti-Israel policies in Turkey and Egypt, and work to make clear that their interests are not served by isolating Israel.Via
With regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Mitt’s policy will differ sharply from President Obama’s. As president, Mitt will reject any measure that would frustrate direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. He will make clear to the Palestinians that the unilateral attempt to decide issues that are designated for final negotiations by the Oslo Accords is unacceptable. The United States will reduce assistance to the Palestinians if they continue to pursue United Nations recognition or form a unity government that includes Hamas, a terrorist group dedicated to Israel’s destruction. The United States needs a president who will not be a fair-weather friend of Israel. The United States must work as a country to resist the worldwide campaign to delegitimize Israel. We must fight against that campaign in every forum and label it the anti-Semitic poison that it is. Israel’s existence as a Jewish state is not up for debate.

This is a video record of the Buddhist Wake ceremony at Allen Ginsberg's apartment. You see Allen, now asleep forever, in his bed; some of his close friends; and the wrapping up and removal of Allen's body from the apartment. You hear Jonas' description of his last conversation with Allen, three days earlier. You see the final farewell at the Buddhist temple, 118 West 22nd Street, New York City, and some of his close friends: Patti Smith, Gregory Corso, LeRoy Jones-Baraka, Hiro Yamagata, Anne Waldman, and many others.

Poverty Tour 2.0 Hits the Battleground States
Broadcaster Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West recently launched "Poverty Tour 2.0" to elevate poverty as a pressing national issue and push a substantive conversation about it into the presidential campaign. The tour is visiting four battleground states this week, including Virginia, where it arrived yesterday at TC Williams High School in Alexandria, just outside of the nation's capital.
The Nation's Greg Kaufmann attended the event—a town hall meeting that included not only Smiley and Dr. West, but inspiring interviews with iconic figures like Peter Edelman, Dolores Huerta, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, and other passionate antipoverty advocates and thinkers.
Watch the full video to hear from some of the high school students in attendance about their own experiences dealing with poverty, and visit TheNation.com for more videos.

Kenneth Anger: Elliott’s Suicide, 2007 (excerpt)
Elliott’s Suicide (2007, 15 min, video)
A homage to the late American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, Elliott’s Suicide is a sentimental 15 minute tribute, lacking Anger’s usual irony for obvious reasons. The film begins with shots of friends’ and fans’ last words written on Smith’s memorial on Sunset Boulevard, then to footage of a Macy’s parade, focusing closely on the oddly outfitted participants, some in renaissance attire, cowboys with lassos, and beauty queens. The film is scored with Smith’s music, resulting in a melancholy effect, especially in the segment that follows Smith through the woods and films him as he digs up a guitar, then plays a song. This footage is repeated in the end of the film, but in a negative reversal print, suggesting pretty damn clearly that the subject matter has moved beyond the veil.
