"He's one of the blues guys in Mali. Not everyone knows him but one of his tracks ['BèrèBèrè'] was on [the movie] Black Panther, with Ali Farka Touré. I've had this record seven years now and I still listen to it. It's one of those records you don't get bored of. His sound is different to Salif [Keita], to all the male artists in Mali. There's something very different in his style. He's quite modern but at the same time, traditional."

"The music is so beautiful, and the people are so beautiful. I first saw this as a very young kid, and I just remember being captivated by the sensuality of the story and those moments with everyone dancing in the street. This movie opened up my world—I’d never seen black people’s lives portrayed in such an artistic, almost New Wave-y style. And I don’t know if I’d ever seen a film about black people that was this romantic."

"That’s a movie I’ve easily seen a million times. It’s my standby movie. Where if I want to watch and movie and don’t really want to think too hard. I know the villain character in there is really, really awful. It’s a weird movie. [But] I think like it the most because it has a really great style. I love the rollerblading kids who think they’re so badass. And they have that really cool computer club, and café, and dance club."

This was one of my favourite books when I was younger.
And reading it while I'm older, its still a brilliant book.
I love the writing style with the P.O.V coming from black beauty. You feel like you're watching his life unfold from the side lines. While reading I was transported to 19th century England, and while it's just a story, its horrible to know the horrors that some horses went through.
This book will always remain one of my favourites.

"Slacker introduced Linklater to us indie-film fans, and Dazed and Confused introduced him to the world. Slacker spawned so many indie filmmakers and established Linklater’s walking-and-talking style, which he continued through the years with other films like Before Trilogy and Waking Life. Dazed is a picture-perfect time capsule with an amazing wall-to-wall soundtrack. It’s for the seventies what American Graffiti was for the sixties and Fast Times at Ridgemont High was for the eighties."
