    That may have been my favorite part - kidding - that's cool, though. Did she get to meet Giamatti, Randolph, or Sessa? 

    I  got the 1970 feel while watching the film. 

     

    She did not get to meet them though she was near them. 

    She was also an extra in Little Women a few years ago and met most of the stars on that one.

    Watched the Holdovers -- very enjoyable. All three of the main actors (Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa) were great. Great characters and story.

     

     

    My daughter was an extra in the movie.  Her shoulder is prominently featured in one scene.  :)

    But I agree - really enjoyable movie.

    When you do, let me know how it holds up for you.

    To me the first Big Audio Dynamite is one of those albums that brings me back to a very specific time and place.  I was 20, taking time off from college, living in my first apartment.  I had a cassette (which dates myself) with this album on one side and REM's Reckoning on the other, and I spent a lot of time walking around with my Walkman, trying to figure things out.  Just listened and I still like it.  The Bottom Line, E=MC2, Medicine Show - so good!

  4. Wilco is one of six awardees at MassArt's Common Good Awards which "will celebrate the integration of arts and culture in civic life, honoring those who push boundaries in advocacy, teaching, placemaking, and creation, emphasizing the arts' public influence on problem-solving and quality of life."

     

    From the nomination:  "American rock band Wilco will be honored for Solid Sound, the festival they founded in 2010 in partnership with the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) in North Adams. MassArt will honor them for their incredible work with Mass MoCA, for their commitment to the Berkshires, and their adventurous curatorial vision. They set out to create the kind of festival they, as music fans, would like to attend, and in the process, cultivated a longstanding civic institution that brings thousands of people, economic activity, an unmistakable sense of community, and international visibility to one of the most beautiful corners of the Commonwealth." 

     

    There's an event on December 16 and the word is that Wilco will have some representation there (but no musical performance).
