  1. I just bought this earlier today... haven't listened yet, though.
  2. I liked that a lot, too. Really underrated.
  3. Your English Skills: Grammar: 100% Punctuation: 100% Spelling: 100% Vocabulary: 100% Does Your English Cut the Mustard? http://www.blogthings.com/doesyourenglishcutthemustardquiz/ Ponderous almost got the best of me--tricky!--and I wasn't completely confident about obsequious, either.
  4. Exquisite corpse has been applied to filmmaking as well. A recent example is The Orange Thief.

    That's the way I interpreted it, too.
  6. Same here... hearing this song live for the first time is one of the major reasons I became a Wilco fanatic. And like you, I enjoy this song at the close of the first set, pre-encore.
  7. Welcome to Google TiSP This is gonna change the world. Take a look around the site.
  8. For me, at least, the speed of accumulation definitely works against the dynamic of "living with the album" for a while. If something isn't initially gripping, it's tempting--and easy--to set it aside for something fresher. Sometimes that's no great loss, but sometimes that sacrifices an album that, given time, might have mattered to us. My playlist is cluttered with albums that I feel I've wrongfully neglected. But there isn't truly time for them all, is there?

  10. I wasn't too keen on Sherman's March when I first saw it, but I've since come around on Ross McElwee. In particular, I really liked Bright Leaves, a scruffy documentary that ambles through the North Carolina of McElwee's youth, searching for loose links between his family's tobacco farming past, current Southern geopolitics, contemporary smoking awareness, an old Gary Cooper melodrama that may or may not have been based on the life of his great-grandfather (a tobacco baron and inventor of the Bull Durham cigarette), and his own relationship to his son. That probably sounds like a rambling aff
  11. Wow. Thanks! Do we know from which show/date this is taken?
  12. I don't have much time for movies right now, but these ten are at the top of my queue: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (De Sica, 1964) The U.S. vs. John Lennon (Leaf, 2006) The Collected Shorts of Jan Svankmajer (parts 1 & 2) Pickpocket (Bresson, 1959) Le Samourai (Melville, 1967) Boudu Saved From Drowning (Renoir, 1932) Machuca (Wood, 2005) Platform (Jia, 2000) Trouble Every Day (Denis, 2001) Dolls (Kitano, 2002)
  13. Rickie Lee Jones - Sermon on Exposition Boulevard
  14. I saw it, too. In the theater. I saw Teen Wolf Too, too, also in the theater. Not my best days. Perhaps now is a good time to confess that I own the Teen Wolf double feature DVD--with both the Michael J. Fox and Jason Bateman movies!
  15. From IMDb: Huh. Makes me think of:
  16. Tonight Sky Blue Sky was playing in the house, and when the first notes of a certain track began, my two-year-old daughter brightened and shouted, "Oooh! Shake It Off!!!" If the ensuing crazy-ass dancing is any measure, she likes it.
  17. We watched that last night... what a piece of crap.
  18. Happy birthday, WMS! Miss seeing you around.
