Herbert "Herb" Alpert (born March 31, 1935) is an American musician most associated with the group variously known as Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass or as Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass or just TJB for short. He is also famous for being a recording industry executive — he is the "A" of A&M Records (a recording label he and business partner Jerry Moss founded and eventually sold). Alpert's musical accomplishments include five number one hits, twenty-eight albums on the Billboard charts, eight Grammy Awards, fourteen Platinum albums and fifteen Gold albums. As of 1996, Alpert had sold 72 million albums worldwide.
“You hear 3 notes and you know it's Herb Alpert !” - ( Miles Davis from a 1989 interview )

Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea
Tilapia Film L.L.C.
1588 Hayes Street, #2
San Francisco, CA 94117
Tel: (310) 497-6005
Based out of both San Francisco and Los Angeles, TILAPIA FILM is a film collective that has created music videos, EPKs, interstitials, and documentaries for clients as varied as: Atlantic Records, Arista-Nashville, Capital Records, Geffen Records, ABC, Comedy Central, Current TV, Fox, Noggin, Documentary Channel, PBS, and the Sundance Channel.
TILAPIA FILM consists of filmmakers, Chris Metzler, Jeff Springer, Josh Kurz, and Lev Anderson who in traveling the USA, are attempting to capture the unseen corners of America. Exploring what others have determined to be failures and finding out what happens when they’re wrong.
Tilapia Film is a collective of non-fiction filmmakers who use damn good music, stylishly funky graphics, and offbeat unique subjects to highlight environmental, cultural, scientific, and just plan “weird” issues of contemporary America.
“Weird and wonderful!” - The New Times
“A heartbreaking, sidesplitting parade of humanity.” - Village Voice
(from their press kit) Fabulously offbeat and refreshingly upbeat, this lovable film gets friendly with the natives of the Salton Sea, an inland ocean of massive fish kills, rotting resorts, and 120 degree nights located just minutes from urban Southern California. This award-winning film from directors Chris Metzler and Jeff Springer details the rise and fall of the Salton Sea, from its heyday as the "California Riviera" where boaters and Beach Boys mingled in paradise to its present state as a decaying, forgotten ecological disaster. From wonderland to wasteland, PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA captures a place far more interesting than the shopping malls and parking lots of suburban America, a wacky world where a beer-swilling Hungarian Revolutionary, a geriatric nudist, and a religious zealot building a monument to God all find solace and community.
Crisply and hilariously narrated by oddball auteur John Waters, and featuring music by desert lounge rockers Friends of Dean Martinez, PLAGUES & PLEASURES ON THE SALTON SEA melds high camp with stark realism, offering both a sobering message about the consequences of tampering with nature and a heart-warming tale of individualism.
After graduating from USC with a degree in business and cinema, Chris’ film career has taken him from the depths of agency work, to coordinating post-production for awful American movies seen late at night in Belgium.
Jeff Springer was born in a virtually abandoned town in the California desert, raised in Hawaii, and educated at USC Film School. After living for a winter in Russia, he returned to Los Angeles to begin directing music videos, shorts, and editing for UPN, Fox, Geffen Records, and Lucasfilm. Burned out and hung over, he eventually fled to San Francisco to start work on PLAGUES & PLEASURES, while still driving to Los Angeles to edit WWF and Moesha promos to pay the bills. He now lives somewhere between San Francisco, London, and Berlin.

a conversation with Lance Mackey
This 45 minute video gives you an insider's look at dogs and dog mushing from champion musher Lance Mackey
(from their site)
“Appetite and Attitude: A conversation with Lance Mackey,” is a 45 minute video about the world’s preeminent long distance sled dog racer - and an Alaskan legend in the making! Crossing major mountain ranges, travelling down wide frozen rivers, across most of Canada’s Yukon and half the state of Alaska, this intrepid musher and his incredible “Super Dogs” have blazed over the trails, breaking record after record in some of the world’s most demanding climate and terrain.
In 2007 Lance Mackey made racing history when he won two 1,000 mile races back-to-back, the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod, with most of the same dogs - an incredible feat of endurance, long considered almost impossible. For his achievements Lance was nominated for a 2007 ESPY - Excellence in Sports Performance Award. His indomitable lead dog, Larry, is the only dog in the world to win the coveted Golden Harness Award from both of these grueling races.
In February, 2008 Lance won an unprecedented fourth Yukon Quest title, also winning the Veterinarian’s Choice Award for excellence in dog care throughout the 1,000 mile race. At press release time Lance is in the first place position with only 200 miles to go in the 2008 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Two weeks after the end of that race he’ll compete in the Centennial running of the famous All Alaska Sweepstakes race from Nome to Candle and back to Nome, Alaska. The purse for that 400 mile race is the richest in sled dog racing history: $100,000.00 winner take all!
Lance, a cancer survivor, comes from a family of sled dog racing champions. His father Dick Mackey helped create the world’s most famous race, the 1,049 mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, in 1973. Five years later his father won that race by one second in a world-famous photo finish. Lance’s brother Rick also won the race, in 1983, wearing bib number 13 - the same number worn by Lance in 2007, and their father in 1978!
Lance, his wife Tonya, and their family make their home - Comeback Kennels - near Fairbanks, Alaska. In this video Lance talks about his dogs, his races, his family legacy and his dreams for the future!
