What To Watch April 22nd To Take Away The Blues


For Earth Day and a profoundly heightened sense of how vulnerable we and the planet really are, it seems especially meaningful to be marking the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. To celebrate this milestone, we’re sharing stories that highlight the inspiring ways that artists of all disciplines have made the planet, along with its resources and inhabitants, a focus of their work. Stream documentary films that focus on our connection to the natural world, learn how architects are turning everyday waste into material for 3-D printing—and putting their creations to environmentally responsive uses—and explore designs that put our shared “home” first.
This Thursday, Virtual Views continues with the online exploration of Judd. Join curator Ann Temkin for a live Q&A with artist Donald Judd’s son, Flavin Judd, online at 8:00 p.m. EDT
Our shout-out this week goes to the National Park Service’s Soundscapes, where you can escape into sites like the Rocky Mountains through field recordings.

JIM GORDON RIP — If you’re a music fan, you know the name Jim Gordon well. Brilliant musician, part of the Wrecking Crew; Mad Dogs & Englishmen; Delaney & Bonnie; Derek & The Dominoes; Eric Clapton; George Harrison … dead at 77. I’m not going to go into the trouble he had, you can read it below in Variety’s terrific story, but suffice to say, he was an amazing musicianDid he do things that he shouldn’t have? Of course … as we all have. He had a most troubled road and hopefully is now at peace. His music will however, live on. Sad, sad story for sure.
Celebrity-scribe Mark Bego, who is working on a bio of Joe Cocker (for Yorkshire Publishing) had this to say: “Gordon brought a very professional edge to Joe Cocker and his still-gestating Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour. Gordon was one of three drummers on stage for that outrageous tour. Having been a member of The Wrecking Crew, Gordon, despite some head-scratching antics, helped give the rough-and-tumble troupe a much-needed degree of professionalism. However, Gordon began displaying a violent nature on that tour when he hauled off and punched Rita Coolidge in the face, one night after the show.”
Bego’s Cocker bio is provisionally set for release during the holidays.
GOTHAM — Gotham: The Fall and Rise of New York is an exciting exploration of New York City’s history and the legacy of its six mayors from 1966-2013. At the turn of a new century, learn how New York went from a failing city with over 2,200 murders, 93,000 violent robberies and over 500,000 annual felonies only to rise-up as America’s Greatest City.
Featuring twenty-six interviews, archival footage and re-enactments, Gotham puts viewers in the middle of the action exploring how a city turn-around happens.
New York City became what it is today through the blood, sweat, hard work, innovation, and creativity of a handful of heroes who were willing to challenge the status quo. Learn what they did and why it matters.
“We want the audience to get a historical sense of what was going on in New York during this tumultuous time,” said writer, director, and producer Matthew Taylor. “Through the courageous leadership and determination of many, the city was able to turn-around a common perception regarding crime in the area, which can serve as a blueprint on how to revitalize our great cities today.”
Featuring candid interviews with former NYC mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, and former NYPD commissioners Ray Kelly and William “Bill” Bratton, the film also features interviews with more than one dozen important figures who helped resurrect the city. Here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45EXpx2JDz8&t=2s
REVIVAL69 — (Via Deadline) Shout! Studios has acquired North American rights to the music documentary Revival69: The Concert That Rocked The World, about a historic happening that’s been called “the second most important event in rock & roll history.”
Ron Chapman directed the film, which held its U.S. premiere this week at SXSW in Austin, Texas, playing in the festival’s 24 Beats Per Second section. The documentary tells “the remarkable, behind-the-scenes story of how a little known, but life-altering music festival came together — against all odds,” according to a description of the film. “Young, scrappy concert promoter John Brower puts his life on the line (literally) to turn his failing Toronto Rock n Roll Revival into a one-day event… The festival united rock legends like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, and Gene Vincent, with The Doors, who were the biggest band in the world. But it was the 11th hour arrival of John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band that ignited a truly seminal moment for the 20,000 fans at Toronto’s Varsity Stadium.”
The film draws on rare behind-the-scenes material, as well as unreleased concert footage shot by D.A. Pennebaker, the vérité/direct cinema legend who directed the landmark Monterey Pop documentary.
“With its improbable backstory, incredible line-up and indelible D.A. Pennebaker footage, Ron’s wonderful film joins an elite group of unforgettable music documentaries that tell a great story while preserving a seminal moment in pop culture history, Shout has deep roots in the music business, so this was a very happy deal to do.” read a statement from the company.

The second most important event in rock and roll history? Dunno about that, Bangladesh and Live AID sort of stand out a bit more. That said, interestingly enough, the packaging of the film in its box, looks a lot like Harrison’s show, so maybe its more of an intended subliminal message. In any event, it solidified Lennon’s full departure from The Beatles and his performance was extraordinary as usual. Definitely an integral part of rock history.
Here’s the trailer:
SHORT TAKES — Here’s the trailer for the forthcoming doc on Little Richard entitled I Am Everything. Looks fantastic.

Trading Journals – Why You Need One and How to Use It to Improve Your Performance

As a trader, keeping track of your performance is essential to your success. One way to do this is by keeping a trading journal. A trading journal is a record of your trades, including the entry and exit points, the reason for the trade, the trade duration, and the outcome. In this article, we will discuss why you need a trading journal and how to use it to improve your performance.
Why You Need a Trading Journal
A trading journal can help you in several ways. Firstly, it can help you identify patterns in your trading behavior. By recording every trade you make, you can review your performance over time and identify what works and what doesn’t. This will help you make better trading decisions in the future.

Secondly, a trading journal can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses as a trader. By analyzing your trades, you can identify the types of trades you are good at and those that you struggle with. This will help you focus on your strengths and work on improving your weaknesses.
Thirdly, a trading journal can help you stay disciplined. By recording your trades, you are holding yourself accountable for your actions. You can review your trades and see where you may have made mistakes, which will help you avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
How to Use a Trading Journal
Now that we have discussed why you need a trading journal, let’s look at how to use it effectively.
Record Every Trade
The first step is to record every trade you make. This includes the entry and exit points, the reason for the trade, the trade duration, and the outcome.

Set Trading Goals
Based on your analysis of your trades, you should set trading goals. These goals should be specific, measurable, and achievable. For example, you may set a goal to increase your win rate by 5% over the next three months. Setting goals will help you stay focused and motivated.
Monitor Your Progress
Once you have set your trading goals, you should monitor your progress regularly. This will help you stay on track and make adjustments if necessary. You can use your trading journal to track your progress toward your goals.
Learn from Your Mistakes
Finally, you should learn from your mistakes. By reviewing your trades and identifying where you may have made mistakes, you can avoid making the same mistakes in the future. This will help you become a better trader over time.

Take the time to analyze your performance and identify what works and what doesn’t. Be honest with yourself and identify areas where you need to improve. Use your trading journal to set realistic goals and track your progress toward those goals. Finally, remember that trading is a journey, and you will face challenges and setbacks along the way.
