VMC vs. The Radio Star

VMC vs. The Radio Star

Back in December I posted a video I put together about Atlanta’s old Video Music Channel.  The interview subject in the segment is Tom Roche, who is now an editor at Crawford Post Production.  Tom asked whether he could take a crack at the video and add some more of the great old footage of the VMC.  Tom is a pro editor, so I was more than happy to let him work on it.  He crafted an amazing re-edit:  he added lots of new footage and titles and generally smoothed things out.  It now feels more like a documentary and less like an extended oral history.  It’s a great testament to the heady days  of the VMC.

Oraien Catledge took some amazing photographs of the residents of Cabbagetown in the 1980s and 90s.  Because of the use of black & white and the focus on working-class subjects, Catledge’s pictures have often been compared to the Depression-era images of Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange.  Unlike the FSA photographers, who often took their pictures and moved on, Catledge burrowed into a single place and culture over a long period of time, much like an ethnographer. Catledge was welcomed into the lives and homes of Cabbagetown residents, partly because he showed up there virtually every weekend for over twenty years but also because he routinely gave something back, namely pictures and lots of them.  There may be other examples of street photographers who have routinely given prints back to their subjects, but I don’t know any.

A retrospective of Catledge’s work will be published in August, and an exhibition at the Mississippi Museum of Art will begin in October.  I’ve been asked to produce a video loop for the museum exhibition, and this segment will be part of that larger piece.  To view the video in a larger size, click here.  Thanks to Constance Lewis for helping produce this segment.



In 'And Stands By Man' by Steve Bransford, Barry Hannah memorializes man's best friend, Wayne the Dog, in Oxford, MS, for his owner Chico Harris and those Oxfordites attending, including: Jim Dickinson (4:18) with Mudboy and the Neutrons and others. 

This 15 minute video from Steve Bransford's Vimeo channel, described here: "Documentary about the Wayne the Dog Memorial in Oxford, Mississippi in 1997. Features Chico Harris, Barry Hannah, the Continental Drifters, Jim Dickinson, and many of Oxford's finest," is the only video I've yet found of the recently deceased Hannah.  And I am uploading it here for the benefit of those friends, family and fans who may not have had the opportunity to view it before. 

Special thanks goes to Steve Bransford, who I have not succeeded in contacting personally thus far.
