the 1960s

October 24, 2009

AH! Mistake in the last post.

I gave you all the WRONG e-mail address!

Please send your e-mails to the-1960s@hotmail.com

Thank you! I’m so sorry about that!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend right now. For the past week I’ve had a kidney stone, and unfortunately it’s made me just sleep throughout my entire days and nights because of the pain medication I’m prescribed too. When I return to my classes again on Monday, I’m going to be swamped with work — so I’m going to be pretty busy, and seeing as this place has been being neglected for a week or so now, I need someone to help me!

SO, if you would really like to help make this tumblr move, please contact me (the-1960s@hotmail.com). Make sure you tell me your name, age, and your tumblr url.

Now, even though this is only a tumblr and not a real life job, I do have some questions that I will send to you after you contact me that I would like you to answer, etc. I just don’t want to have anyone helping me, I want someone who knows about the 1960s and someone I feel comfortable with posting here.

SO PLEASE, don’t be scared! Contact me! Even if you only listen to music from the 1960s, or know only silly facts about the decade. I really need help! Thank you! :)

Anna Karina & Jean-Paul Belmondo in A Woman is a Woman (1961, dir. Jean-Luc Godard)

“For me, it’s a film on the nostalgia for musical comedy, as when Anna says: “Ah, I’d like to be in a musical comedy,” it was rather in that vein….We made music that gave the impression that the people were often singing. I mean, which is placed at the same time as, and under, the words in order to give them the tone of opera.

It isn’t a musical comedy, but it isn’t just a talking film either. It’s a regret that life is not lived in music.”

-Jean-Luc Godard
