Marla

If you've got a free hour and a half, check out the documentary My Kid Could Paint That about 4-year old painting sensation Marla Olmstead. For nothing else, it makes good old Charlie Rose look like one of the biggest dicks of all time as he goes after Marla as possibly a fraud in a segment for 60 Minutes.

I couldn't find the particular 60 Minutes segment on YouTube but the trailer has some segment of the piece:



Deep Purple -- The Painter
From the Deep Purple album.

The Law -- Watching the Paint Dry
This is from an NME CD about artists on the 1965 Records label.

Eddie Vedder Solo

Last week Sean Penn and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder were on Charlie Rose talking about Into the Wild for which Vedder did the soundtrack.

Charlie Rose

Watching Charlie Rose on PBS is nearly a daily occurrence for me...it is hit or miss as to whether I am fulling engaged or if its just great back ground noise...one of the best interviews I've seen recently is Charlie with Ira Glass from This American Life...Regrettably, Mr. Rose doesn't ask as many "asshole" questions as Tom Snyder did...but he must be credited with having unique guests that no one else does...

Here is a rare White Stripes performance from a 2006 show.
