Since 2007, ARTE has made a habit of upsetting its summer program to revive through music and film moments that have made our common history. After the success of the Summer of Love, held two years ago in psychedelic swirls and Summer of 70's as rich as revolts of musical creativity, celebrated last summer, here comes the 80, which we will devote every Tuesday and Thursdays this summer 2009.

maybe that will help. I think this is a recent remix as it seems more technoish.

Thank the gods that didn't make it. There's a lot of stuff in there that just doesn't work. Tonally, visually, etc... it just doesn't fit. Especially all that stuff about the summer of love, giving it some kind of historical context. I didn't think that was appropriate. I LIKED how Shawshank, aside from some of the obvious things, didn't seem STUCK in some point in history. Its just a solid drama, and that stuff would have made it less subtle.

since i'm in a trivia mood ,, why was the summer of love called that? the summer of 1968 . first transcontinental satellite broadcast it was the beatles " all you need is love" from sgt. peppers

This is from Wikipedia:


"Time of the Season" is a song by The Zombies, featured on the 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. The song was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in August 1967. Its breakthrough, however, did not occur before 1969, after the band had split up.

The song's characteristics include the unique voice of lead singer Colin Blunstone, the memorable bass riff, and Rod Argent's fast-paced psychedelic improvisation. The lyrics are an archetypical depiction of the emotions surrounding the Summer of Love. It is famous for its call-and-response verses "What's your name? (What's your name?)/Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)/(Is he rich?) Is he rich like me?".
