So that blog post a week thing didn't work out so well. Let's play catch up...
I am currently obsessed with Q Lazzarus's song "Goodbye Horses" and apparently I am not alone because when I asked the info desk last week at Amoeba Hollywood they acted as if I had just asked them the time of day, as they rattled off the stock answer that it wasn't available and they never see the vinyl single from 91 or 92 (that was released to capitalize on Jonathan Demme using the song in The Silence of the Lambs). So I am forced to put up with this mp3. Here is some history about the song.
I have been sick twice in the last month and went to see the doctor today, he seemed to think that I would live to fight another day. Last weekend my harddrive crashed and I lost all my (illegally downloaded) programs and work-related files. However, I was pleased that my 200 gigs of music remains safe and sexy on an external harddrive and my computer is still under warranty.
I meant to mention it sooner but if you are lucky you might still be able to catch Jean-Pierre Melville's astonishing thriller:
which is playing in Los Angeles until Thurday at the Royal Theater - this is a must see!
I also firmly endorse Mutual Appreciation,
which should be playing at the Sunset Five in a couple of months. It has drawn comparisons to Cassavetes and Rohmer, I found it to be a major improvement upon Bujalski's previous film Funny Ha Ha (where the quality of the soundtrack was so poor that I turned it off about twenty minutes in).
I saw Fiery Furnaces last week at the Fonda (my third time seeing FF but my first time visiting the Fonda Music Box) and I thought their performance was pretty strong. My only major regret was that they didn't play "Slavin' Away" from their brilliant Rehearsing My Choir. I should probably write a blog someday that explains to the Pitchfork devotees that RMC and Bitter Tea are just as strong (if not stronger) than Blueberry Boat.
On a side note, I am very attracted to Eleanor Friedberger. What is it about girls that play the guitar?
That's Ed, I am seeing the even more lovely Neko Case this friday at the Music Box.
If she is dressed like this:
I will propose marriage and hope to create a collection of red-headed children with her. More importantly if she plays "I Wish I Was the Moon" chances are good that you will see me crying like a baby.
