i had a dream last night about antoine doinel's shrine to balzac.

does this blow the case wide open on bapes just being expensive knockoffs?

the death set - had a bird

finally got around to watching cabin fever. very good, except that it had this guy from super troopers, so every time he was on screen i kept waiting for him to yell out "we can't pull over any farther!"

let the beat build

2008-06-09T08:43:00.000-04:00

favorite part of mister lonely, the excrutiatingly long sequence of diego luna yelling "don't die!" at a roomful of old people in a nursing home.

want to know the secret about the justice mix that was rejected by fabric? it's not good. fabric has been putting out some of the most consistently high quality mixes - across a wide range of styles, so don't give me that bullshit - for years now. and justice phoned it in. nice work closing with the same rundgren track that was used in electroma, too.

i got to see smiley face for work almost a year ago. it killed at sundance, but through standard distributor back and forth it never got a full release. so for the past year i've been telling everyone about how there is a retarded funny movie with anna faris directed by gregg araki and it's all about being stoned. nobody believed me. this probably wasn't helped by the fact that i am usually prompted to talk about it when i am really stoned myself. well, dvd suckers. buy it.

there's been a lot of inter-murmurs about the new deerhunter blog. all sensationals aside, though, i think the real gem of the blog is this rundown of all of the lyrics and backstories from cryptograms and fluorescent grey. and for really reals, the record is definitely one of my favorites this year.

got more sun this weekend than in the past few months combined.

mermaid parade.

i accidentally tried to order a "strawberrita" (force of habit) at the tiki hut on the boardwalk, and the girl working there sassed me. so i plunked down my $30 and grabbed two pina coladas.

then we went back and i attempted to give myself a bootleg bernard sumner do.

turned out ok.

nick cave and the bad seeds - black hair

####

then we got a crew together and headed to savalas.

only when molly and ashley are dancing do they feel this free.

2007-05-20T23:40:00.001-04:00

didn't do anything this weekend that even came close to the silliness that went down last weekend at the dfa party at studio b.

yacht came out first to warm up the crowd.

dude killed it.

but from the first second that james murphy et. al stepped onto the stage, they owned the place. studio b usually ends up as a good night, but the crowd simply erupted for lcd.

i left the show with my disco yearning satiated, and every single article of clothing drenched in sweat.

lcd soundsystem - tribulations (tiga remix)

####

then we got a fish last sunday:

his name is "scraps"

the unicorns - sea ghost

####

on tuesday night, headed to the ghostface / spank rock show at the new highline ballroom. won giggled like a schoolgirl he was so excited to see ghost

pretty good party, catchdubs kept it on lock for the first part of the night. lil' mama was surprisingly good. john brown got booed off stage. then ghostface did a too-short set, but brought out THE FUCKING RZA to throw down a few verses. rad as hell.

wu tang - older gods

####

twist and crawl

2007-05-15T14:15:00.000-04:00

i'm reading rant, the new chuck palahniuk book. while it's an entertaining read, i can't help but feel that it's something of a sloppy ripoff of burrough's place of dead roads. even down to the repeated descriptions of overpowering stenches and lips constantly "peeling back" over teeth. still one of my favorite creepy turns of a phrase...

the vaselines - molly's lips

####

how fucking cool is this car? mcqueen's 250gt? come on. come. on.

####

broke on atlantic avenue tryin to cop the bootleg

2007-04-23T21:44:00.001-04:00

been listening to the new gui boratto a lot recently - more of a subway album than a kicking it with friends album. although, somewhat paradoxically, i'm not sure that i would call this a headphone album. less expansive yet somehow less cohesive than, say, a kompakt total comp, gui boratto explodes the boundaries of minimal / schaffel into the realm of pop. satisfying and digestible.

gui boratto - mr decay

####

schmidt sting pain index. oddly fascinating.

black flag - life of pain

####

ashley's back! fresh off of a tragic laotian romance (um, for reals...) she made it back to brooklyn in time for a fun easter dinner.

and she brought me an elephant from india!

dmx - fuckin' wit d

lots going on recently.

i had what was probably strep throat for about a week. didn't leave the apartment for roughly 70 hours. stir crazy.

then i managed to go to nate's video shoot on wednesday night - tripped on a cable and slammed my jaw into a coffee table. thank god it was a metal table from one of those restaurant supply places. the swelling is finally going down now.

lightning bolt - dracula mountain

saturday night liz and i walked over to the todd p show at 3rd ward. we were late and missed most everyone, but luckily got there in time for lightning bolt.

fuck.

they did the whole play-in-the-middle-of-the-crowd thing which made everyone go mental in a great way. umbrellas were thrown. repeatedly.

and then the fire department came.

lightning bolt - on fire
