WHat better cure for the wintry blues than a double whammy of Elvis and The Fall?
Tonight I'm getting together with a friend to resume our Elvis movie project. We're about halfway through watching every single Elvis film. We're planning on writing up our findings when we're through, but we've already discovered that these films have been grossly misrepresented. They're not all about a young man working his way to the top. Very few are about that actually. The dominant theme we've been able to identify is that of the small business.
I'll go into more detail some other time, but more often than not Elvis plays someone--not necessarily poor--who is trying to get a small business off the ground. The last one we watched before our holiday break was "Spinout" which features Elvis as a successful race car driver and Nancy Sinatra as the IRS agent investigating his tax situation. What the fuck is that? Not a lowly race car driver who wins against all odds and claws his way to the top--he's a successful driver who has TAX PROBLEMS!
And after Elvis we're heading down to the Knitting Factory to see my absolute favorite band in the universe: The Fall.
They're in NYC recording their latest record and I just found out about this show late last week. Huzzah!
Still got piles of crap at work I don't want to do, but that's why it's called 'work' and not 'superfuntimeusa'

Hope it was great, lucky boy!
That would have devastated me as well!
I am very sensitive when it comes to my kitty and dreaming as mine are very lucid.
Even when I was a little girl I would get so scared after a nightmare and never know if it was over when I awoke.
These days nightmares seem to mesh with life.
Lifemares is what I will call them.
