Movie of the Week: The Swimming Pool (and some new music from John Lurie)

I recently got back from a short trip to Miami. While I was there I was messing around with my iPhone camera, and took the opportunity to figure out iMovie. Here's the result...My first movie! The music is by John Lurie, and is used with permission. Thanks John! I hope you enjoy it.

By the way, John has a new collection of out-of-print & previously unreleased live recordings out by the John Lurie National Orchestra. Its entitled The Invention of Animals. Check out some music & get more info at Strange & Beautiful Music.
