The Bananas have a newly-recorded song (and a new, eye-searing yellow background) on their myspace and it sounds fucking great! Their number of friends has been shooting up since the tour and I may have to create a new profile in the effort to be the one-thousandth friend. They have some upcoming shows posted on there.
That Danny Offer/Dark Dark Mask/Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs show was great fun. Her voice makes me very sentimental and she totally kicked it and talked about astrology afterwards until super late. I'd like to see Dark Dark Mask again but I guess he doesn't play very often. Listen to the song "i've got" on his myspace. He played that at the show and I like it.
The Tati movie was good, although soooo different from Playtime and what I expected. It was very slapstick. The French Film Festival continues this weekend. I want to see the sexy Charlotte Rampling movie.
I also saw A Scanner Darkly at Tower last night and I recommend it. The animation works well, especially the shape-shifting suit. And I can't hate on Keanu despite the expressionlessness of his line reading. I am a sucker for a Philip K. Dick story and it's nice to finally know how this one ends because I've attempted to read it numerous times. Anyone who has ever seen or hung out in a tweaker house will recognize the realism in the one in this movie.
We've all been shooting up since the tour too. Fucking northwest.

ReplyDeleteThose sleeves are starting to really come together, though. I like how the stem of the martini glass with the naked girl in it wraps around your bicep
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm the administrator so I can erase my comment typos to make myself look smarter
You still need to work on your period placement. I own this thread!!

yeah. they nailed the tweaker house. i also wasn't totally aggravated by keanu which was pleasant. but winona still bugged me. the only good thing about her is her boobs.
ReplyDeletethe cartoon boobs were really big and looked like winona's real boobs, but they didnt' get her face right. it was just a little bit off which was more distracting than if it had been way off. biz said that that house and his bros were based on philip k. dick's real time as a tweaker
ReplyDeletei figured it had to be based on someone's real tweaker experience given how accurate he portrayed the mindset of addicts. there were a lot of funny scenes in there but man, it was also sad. made me so glad i'm not addicted to tweaker drugs.
ReplyDeleteIf you guys liked A Scanner Darkly, you should come by my house, oh, any time really & watch my neighbors perform A Carport Darkly.

A Charles Barkly?
ReplyDeleteThose tweaker neighbors are your are still at it? They haven't been locked up or sold their lungs and feet for money yet?
ReplyDeleteI think the book was based on his tweaker house, but you could tell that Robert Downey Jr. was adlibbing from his own gnarls barkley experiences, and Woody Harrelson was acting way more like a stoner than a tweaker. Surprise.
ReplyDeletehi heckasac!!
ReplyDeleteHope everything is going well in Sacramento. I miss home!! But fret not, I'll be home soon. Saw !!! open up for the Peps and Tyler saw Jimmy Page hanging out backstage. The best.
