Stream Rent "Seasons Of Love" (LEX Theatrical Club Mix)
The movie version of Broadway's Tony Award-winning rock musical "Rent" is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. In short, "Rent" tells the story about a group of young East Villagers in New York City who cope with such harsh urban realities as AIDS and homelessness. Featuring Rosario Dawson and Taye Diggs, the music of the movie is available on a double disc set. The record includes one of the musical's stand-out songs "Seasons Of Love," a touching song about friendship, love and living in the moment.
Emerging remix duo L.E.X. (Eddie X and Luigie Gonzalez) was recruited by Warner Brothers to create a club version of "Seasons Of Love." Recently, the two hit the Billboard spotlight when they scored a number one dance hit with a remix of the Vivian Green track "I Like It, But I Don't Need It." L.E.X. have been working together since 1999 when they met at Grooveman Records in South Beach, FL. Luigie handed Eddie a demo of his own production of dance tracks. Eddie was impressed and asked Luigie to create a track with him for club Pump in Miami. With Luigie's progressive trance style and Eddie's tribal beats, L.E.X. creates a distinct Miami style of their own that is clearly reflected in their "Seasons Of Love" mix.

There is a guy in real life whom the character in RENT named "Mark"
is based on (except he is not gay)--his
name is Paul Garrin, who among other things is known for breaking the story on the infamous Tompkins Square Park Police
Riot that took place in 1988 in the East Village, one of the events that inspired
Jonathan Larson to author his play "RENT".
Paul became known as the
"Man with a Video Camera", and could be
seen carrying his video camera with him everywhere,
often finding himself videotaping the police and the many riots
that went down in the East Village during the 80's and early 90's.
more about Paul Garrin:
http://pg.mediafilter.org see his famous clip
"Man with a Video Camera"
rtsp://stream.freethe.net/manwcam.mov
or buy his videotape "By Any Means Necessary"
which chronicles the housing struggles in the East Village
between 1988-1991 that inspired the story behind RENT. http://shadowshop.com
go there and click on "video" (or "tapes).
You can view a sample clip there, and order the video online.

Mark isn't gay. The guy who plays him, Anthony Rapp, is.
Very interesting stuff, but Rent isn't ABOUT the housing struggles. It's one element in the story, but I'd say it's much more about love than anything else.

A friend sent me this link and I see it wasn’t mentioned yet www.rentmovie.com There is a place to post on the forum as well and place to post fan website links. The only thing missing on www.rentmovie.com is the ability to purchase the RENT DVD

I hvae yet to see Rent, they have not brought it to the UK, but I'm sure it willl be as bit as lovely as the play...
by the way, I think the Dana that left a message abotu Mark not being gay is a long lost friend...
if she's from NJ and loves Tori Amos, then I'm her man...(if she ever reads this again)
well let her know that Damian is looking for her!
and let me know when Rent come to the UK!!
