IFC Films present Medicine For Melancholy a love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-somethings dealing with issues of class, identity in San Francisco. Village Voice writer Ernest Hardy pulls a quote from the main character, Micah, who says "Everything about being indie is tied to not being black". Wower!

This movie looks very dope. No Minneapolis showing + no cable = Me waiting for dvd
and yet, everything about being hip (I'd say this is different than indie, which I find totally fucking square) is about white people acting black. Norman Mailer's "The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster" from 1957 is a blueprint for why black matters WAY more than white when it comes to being down in the US.
yo Tobin, ya know I already know Black is the New Black and the Old Black. (no blipster)
