The Movielife - Jamestown @ Chain Reaction 2003
The Movielife - Forty Hour Train Back To Penn (Drive Thru Records 2003)
The Movielife, Long Island legends throw down at southern california punk staple Chain Reaction. This footage captures a pivotal and yet rare instance of the Movielife's spontaneous and enigmatic live performance. They were a band without precedents that sent forth an attitude and a sound unique to the perceptions of pop/punk at the time. Jamestown will forever be a classic among hardcore enthusiasts of the DIY punk culture of the early 2000s. Fuck the fame... I'm going out on top!

On The Road (7)
God was gone; it was the silence of his departure. It was a rainy night. It was the myth of the rainy night. Dean was popeyed with awe. This madness would lead nowhere. I didn't know what was happening to me, and I suddenly realized it was only the tea that we were smoking; Dean had bought some in New York. It made me think that everything was about to arrive--the moment when you know all and everything is decided forever. (Kerouac, 128)
On The Road (6)
Just about that time a strange thing began to haunt me. It was this: I had forgotten something. There was a decision that I was about to make before Dean showed up, and now it was driven clear out of my mind but still hung on the tip of my mind's tongue. I kept snapping my fingers, trying to remember it. I even mentioned it. And I couldn't even tell if it was a real decision or just a thought I had forgotten. It haunted and flabbergasted me, made me sad. It had to do somewhat with the Shrouded Traveler. Carlo Marx and I once sat down together, knee to knee, in two chairs facing, and I told him a dream I had about a strange Arabian figure that was pursuing me across the desert; that I tried to avoid; that finally overtook me just before I reached the Protective City. "Who is this?" said Carlo. We pondered it. I proposed it was myself, wearing a shroud. That wasn't it. Something, someone, some spirit was pursuing all of us across the desert of life and was bound to catch us before we reached heaven. Naturally, now that I look back on it, this is only death: death will overtake us before heaven. The one thing that we yearn for in our living days, that makes us sigh and groan and undergo sweet nauseas of all kinds, is the remembrance of some lost bliss that was probably experienced in the womb and can only be reproduced (though we hate to admit it) in death. But who wants to die? (Kerouac, 124)
On The Road (5)
The radio had been fixed and now he had wild bop to urge us along the night. I didn't know where all this was leading; I didn't care. (Kerouac, 124)
On The Road (4)
He was out of his mind with real belief. "And of course now no one can tell us that there is no God. We've passed through all forms. // You see how long ago? Everything is fine, God exists, we know time. Everything since the Greeks has been predicted wrong. You can't make it with geometry and geometrical systems of thinking. It's all this!" He wrapped his finer in his fist; the car hugged the line straight and true. "And not only that but we both understand that I couldn't have time to explain why I know and you know God exists." At one point I moaned about life's troubles // "Troubles, you see, is the generalization-word for what God exists in. The thing is not to get hung-up." (Kerouac, 120)
