jack frost - didn't know where i was

jack frost was brilliant, it was an exceptionally brilliant documentary and i have yet to even see the second half but apart from some fantastic songs played live, there's some interviews that are hilarious as steve and grant are like two aliens travelling through america, negotiating all sorts of weirdness, laughing and engaging with everyone they meet including the woman who is filming. she does a great job by the way, it's excellent, as is the editing, which i think is perfect, its sort of random yet feels right. 
i was blown away by grant. i guess because i never was into his band or his music in general, whereas i knew steve although i'd never met him i had spent many many years listening to his music. 
grant, quiet, kind of shy but when he speaks he's really passionate and the thing i love best about this film is it is about friendship and two gentlemen travelling together. 
some great conversations in this footage, sk and gm have such a unique chemistry, it's lovely to watch, so different yet so connected by something you can also feel, as a viewer. 
i could feel that friendship, it reminded me of my friend tim and i and i became very emotional thinking about it.
while watching the movie i find myself feeling a sort of loss, for a loss. 
yeah you did read that right. 
i could feel a loss for steve's loss, and a loss for mine. 
a weird twice removed sensation but i could really get a strong emotional response watching this and it perplexed me slightly.  
listening to their music was incredible, i'm digging out those cds now, i've been playing 'kilbey kennedy' non stop for forty days and nights now, time for some jf.
anyway, it's a long film, i wanna watch it in 2 or 3 parts but there was one section that i really was amazed to hear and it's steve's narrative in a car when he starts a science fiction type monologue that i have read before, but can't remember where it comes from, it really struck a chord with me. 
also steve narrates this without missing a beat, i mean the delivery is perfect. 
its also quite amazing to watch a younger sk, he's always been consistently brilliant, interesting and creative, some of those songs are masterpieces, belong in art galleries. this is the kinda film d.a. pennebaker would have made in an alternative universe if he had followed jf around, i really like this style, its atmosphere is authentic, and additionally  instead of one bob dylan you get two jack frosts.
i wish i had seen jack frost live, i really was late in discovering them but with this download film i feel like i'm on the road with them, cities blending into cities, it's always raining, in the backs of cars, in offices, backstage and onstage, the strange cats they meet on the way, lot's of joking around, i really felt like a fly on the wall, the film created an intimate atmosphere that i surprisingly found emotional. 
and sometimes even i need a reminder i'm human and have emotions.
