It Came From Beneath The Sea (1955)

'This is how one ought to see,' I repeated yet again. And I might have added, 'these are the sort of things one ought to look at.' Things without pretensions, satisfied to be merely themselves, sufficient in their suchness, not acting a part, not trying, insanely, to go it alone...' -Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception Heaven and Hell
Elizabeth Cotten - “Freight Train”
I can’t stop pushing play on this. Elizabeth wrote “Freight Train” when she was a teenager in North Carolina. She was later taken in as a domestic helper by the folk music Seeger family where they encouraged her re-discovery of music and made bedroom recordings of her songs. Her musical career didn’t really start until her late 60s. It’s a fascinating story, and one worth reading up on!

Joe Strummer • k-a-t-i-e-
“In 1981 I happened to see Joe Strummer – he was the singer for the punk rock band The Clash – on the tube. I saw him sitting on the other side of the seat, but I thought he was too private – he might get too angry – but I was trying to be brave, I went up to him and asked him ‘may I take a picture of you.’ he smiled and said ‘yes’, and I clicked several shots.
Just before he got off the train he said to me, ‘You should take photos of whatever you want. That’s punk.’ ” Herbie Yamaguchi
