Laetitia Sadier- Rooting For Love (Drag City)

The album begins with “Who + What,” an eerie, moody keyboard-driven melody that builds with layers and layers of instruments and vocals. “I need to I want to I have to; Need to expand, want to expand; Embrace my Goddess; Escape the fortress; The walls are falling down, cultures are communing; Muses are converging; On the verge.” Track 2, ”Proteiformunite,” is the first of many French songs on this album. This time the bass gets the spotlight. Laetitia’s soft vocals take the listener away to another world. And then the band kicks in with a full-out jam! Next up, “Une Autre Attente," is another French track. Eerie keyboards and robotic piano are highlighted here, but the beautiful vocals truly add to this one. Check out the video:

Track 4, “The Dash,” is a soft, gentle, jazzy number complete with “Ba dee dup, Ba dee dup” Bossa Nova vocals. “Through the center; The discreet shine of your darkness; Eyes of children the heart of another; Things we fear are false; A current life; The place inside; Into the night slowly; Swells vitality.” Next, “Don’t Forget You’re Mine” has a stripped-down beginning, but eventually the music soars and swells with beats and strings. “Hey, don't scream with rage it’s vain. I’m not impressed, just exasperated again. A good slap is what you need; a good slap is what you want; take that take that, get up get up babe.” Track 6, “Panser L’inacceptable,” is another beauty of a song. It has a tropical feel to it. Love the horns here. Here’s the video:

Track 7, “The Inner Smile,” is possibly my favorite track with shifting flutes and a major jam near the end. It’s the most upbeat song on the album. “Smile at all parts of your being. Smile at the parts you’re aware of and those you’re not. Smile, smile and thank your whole body.” Next up, “La Nageuse Nue,” is a French-titled song with English lyrics this time. Laetitia gets deep with her poetry. “The dissolution beliefs; The singular world; Volunteers the ego. Social body, For a cleansing and healing, Experience. Which may turn the personality inside and out; Discloses the gold hidden within the heart.” Track 9,“ New Moon,” develops into a hypnotic blast of ambient sound. It actually came out way back in 2021. It’s one of those songs you just don’t want to end. A beautiful video directed by Laetitia and Tanya Small captures the song here:

   The album closes with “Cloud 6,” a repetitive outer space choral vocal exercise complete with blasting horns. “You have a power I haven't got. I have a power you don’t have. We need all the power we can get. Our psyches, well-being, brutalised, The world renounces its liberty because it is in fear. Because it is in fear, because it is in fear.” More deep thoughts from Laetitia as we would expect. Another great one from Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier from start to finish.  Make sure to check the tour schedule beginning in March to see if she’ll be hitting your part of the world. ERIC EGGLESON

File 06_Subject: New Agent Vodka coming Monday to HQ

Declassified HR Files Series Masterlist - a collaboration between @driedgreentomatoes and @just-here-for-the-moment

Summary: Champ asks Jack to babysit the new junior Agent Warnings: Strip clubs weren't part of the orientation schedule

--- From: champ@statesman.internal To: whiskey@statesman.internal Date: August 5, 2010 9:16 AM Subject: New Agent Vodka coming Monday to Kentucky HQ

Jack,

We have a new agent “Vodka” coming to us on Monday from our Austin, TX field office. He’s been with us for a couple of years as a junior agent out there, but this will be his first assignment to HQ here in Louisville. Can I trust you to show him around and get him settled?

He needs orientation next week to HQ, field ops, training facilities, & etc… Just let him shadow you for a couple of weeks until I’m ready to assign him to missions.

//Champ -------------------- From: whiskey@statesman.internal To: champ@statesman.internal Date: August 5, 2010 3:01 PM Re: New Agent Vodka coming Monday to HQ

Sure thing, I’ll show him the ropes.

JACK -------------------- From: champ@statesman.internal To: whiskey@statesman.internal Date: August 10, 2010 10:34 AM Re: New Agent Vodka coming Monday to HQ

Jack,

When I said “let Vodka shadow you,” I didn’t mean you should take him to a strip club on a MONDAY evening and get him so blind stinking drunk that he misses his second day of work. What the hell were you thinking?

You better hope he recovers and comes back tomorrow or I WILL write you up. Don’t think I won’t.

//Champ -------------------- From: whiskey@statesman.internal To: champ@statesman.internal Date: August 10, 2010 2:21 PM Re: New Agent Vodka coming Monday to HQ

I thought with a code name like “Vodka” he’d be able to hold his liquor better.

Won’t happen again.

JACK -------------------- From: champ@statesman.internal To: whiskey@statesman.internal Date: August 10, 2010 2:24 PM Re: New Agent Vodka coming Monday to HQ

It better not happen again.

90's Watch: Slacker (1990)

Watched:  01/15/2023

Format:  HBOmax

Viewing:  Unknown

Director:  Richard Linklater

I'm pretty sure I saw Slacker during a limited run in Houston before it was in wide release in the summer of 1990.  Apparently wide release occurred in 1991, but I know I saw it in 1990.  The film was part of the dawn of the indie film movement that would define film over the next decade.  In some minute ways, it also opened the door to Austin, TX as cool, hep city - which is a designation which will eventually fuck up a city beyond all recognition, which is where we're at today with the Capitol City.

But in the summer of 1990, just moved from Austin to Spring, TX, somehow my brother and I talked our mom into driving us downtown Houston from our suburban enclave to see the movie.  To say "art film" is not my mom's bag is putting it mildly (it's more of a "what are you talking?" than an angry aversion), but she knew she'd see familiar sights as the movie was shot around the central core of Austin as it was then, and heard the movie was a comedy.  So.  We loaded into the GMC conversion van and made our way downtown.  I believe film-participant and former Butthole Surfers drummer Teresa Taylor (RIP) was in the audience with us, but could never be sure.

Like any white kid of a certain age from Austin, Slacker can feel weirdly personal.  By the age of 15 when I moved away from town, we were already making voyages down to the University of Texas campus to explore and shop at the college-kid record stores (and covertly see college girls).  And in a town the size of Austin at that time, there was some bleed between the college and 20-something culture and hep high school kids looking to emulate what they say near campus.  In short - even at 15 I was pretty familiar with the look and whatnot of the cast of Slacker as folks I saw around town and whose ranks I would be joining when I returned to Austin in '93 for five glorious years of undergrad. 

The folks in the film have a decade or more on me, so they aren't peers.  The film was shot using locals - actors and otherwise - and this time I did check the credits to see if any colleagues from over the years were included in the cast.  (I have long known my Film I instructor was the Greek cousin who appears briefly and doesn't want to have her arm licked to get a stamp to get into a show for free.  I also once pee'd next to Moonlanding Guy at Baby Acapulco - on my 21st birthday, to be exact).  

I've seen the movie within the past decade or so, and my shock at seeing the Austin of my memories is now slightly muted- but on one viewing I had a deeply emotional reaction, like seeing a long lost scrap-book of family photos. The intersection of 6th and Lamar, in the film a low-lying auto-dealership across the street from the now-gone G&M Steakhouse, is now the HQ for Wholefoods, and a massively trafficked cross-ways in town.  Austin was not a wealthy town, and it often seemed like we were living in the remains of post-war prosperity, depending on where you were - especially on side-streets where clubs would sit.  Storefronts were often boarded up, former warehouses had broken windows and rusting equipment inside.  Curbs were broken and crumbling.  

The initial boom of the late 90's started the change, and now all of that has been cleared and built over.  The old-style houses occupied by cast in the film are all now gone and replaced with skyscraper condos for well-to-do college kids.  The Half-Price books shown was a pretty good bar and grill at last check.  Les Amis was plowed under for a strip-center featuring a smoothy place and a Panda Express and a short-lived Johnny Rockets.  Fuck.  How did Quack's ever close?  And I miss Sound Exchange.

But what is Slacker about?  

It certainly captures a critical moment.  Other movies tried to get it on the heels of this film (see: Reality Bites), but only Coupland's Generation X also reflects the generation that came to be in the wake of the Boomers, growing up with a certain nihilism and in the wake of the ego-centrism of the Woodstock-reliving, Me-generation, which spilled no small amount of ink constantly asserting themselves as *very* important.  The characters of the film live on a sunny Austin summer day (the sun is so oppressive), able to survive on meager means as long as you can afford beer and cigarettes.  This is before the internet came along five years later and everyone suddenly had jobs and money.  But there was a hot moment when we really weren't sure what we were supposed to do for a living as overly educated people raised to be white collar workers but with minimal interest in what that looked like peered into the future.  We took McJobs.  We drank beer.  We tried to find perspective and enjoy whatever this was going to be.

The characters of Slacker are a medley of under-employed college graduates, as Austin often was (the gag was every waiter had their PhD in Medieval Literature, and it was often true), waxing rhapsodic as they piece through the philosophy classes they took, what it means to perform actions or not (and isn't not performing an action an action?), and kind of cooking with the idealists hope for a revolution if only someone would do that for them, maybe they'd join in if it doesn't conflict with band-practice.  Within a few years, all of this would be a little *too* familiar, and if you weren't one of these folks (I wasn't really) you certainly knew them.  It's both a truth and a bit of the film that really sticks out now that these folks live in the remnants of better years, in houses built for families and professors, now occupied by a rotating cast of friends and acquaintances, walking between repurposed and derelict buildings with paint jobs that haven't been touched since the LBJ Administration.  

There are recurring themes, like Tolstoy, anarchism as a romantic (and possibly fraudulent) concept, self-perfection versus societal expectations, what it means to travel and have roots or not, utility of philosophical conversation.  Conspiracy theories may all be true in the world of this film, from government moon-landing and cosmic kidnappings to the many JFK theories.  And there's a blase attitude to horror and potential horror that I think The Kids don't get is a hallmark of a certain stripe of Gen-Xer (y'all didn't grow up being told you'd die in a mushroom cloud every day the way we did, nor with people who were in the Holocaust, Depression and other joys of the 20th Century).  But it's also a particularly Texan flavor of all this, which I think gives it some charm. 

The scenes are mostly bite-sized, moving swiftly from one collection of thoughts to another, the film following each person as they touch each other - another thing that feels 90's Austin is that you were usually only 2-3 degrees away from knowing somebody - it was a small town.  The actors aren't pros, but somehow it feels more believable that way as awkwardly phrased conversations spill out ideas all over the table.  I have favorite scenes and less favorite scenes, but on the whole, I love that someone took the idea they warn you NOT to do in film school - think your late-night convos with your pals would make for great cinema - and makes it absolutely work.  If you have patience for it.

The film is trying to find beauty in the mundane, in the hilarious intersection of action and in-action, of the absurdities of trying to sort it all out over beer and cigarettes rather than doing.  It's not judging too many of the characters.  

It's not impossible to imagine Slacker in 2023, even in Austin, but the lifestyle presented isn't affordable here anymore, the bars are now swarmed by tourists, and the collection of young people has shifted to the East Side, which is nowhere present in the film (the deep Whiteness of Austin is also very, very present in this movie, likely by accident, but reflects the core of the city of the time).  The internet and smartphones have no place here.  This is a quotable but not a memeable depiction of reality.  

I know the movie would drive some people insane.  The do-nothing bo-ho's of the film, sitting around pondering imponderables or celebrating violence, or the fact it seems almost unAmerican to eschew industriousness kind of misses the mark.  There's massive potential here, but this is what a world we've created that we're still sailing on the momentum of decades prior, looks like when you have time and aren't sure what to do with it during your time on this planet.

VR SEX ANNOUNCE 'ROUGH DIMENSION’ LP

The new album will be out March 25th via Dais Records. Watch a video for the first single “Victim or Vixen” now. // Catch VR SEX on tour in North America in March + April.

Photo credit: Corinne Schiavone

Today VR SEX, the acid punk alias of Andrew Clinco of Drab Majesty (who dons the moniker Noel Skum for this project), has announced his new album 'Rough Dimension' that is due March 25th via Dais Records. The first single & video from the record "Victim or Vixen" is streaming now. Directed by by Danny Perez, Skum commented on the visuals saying "Ursula the slug goes out for a day on the town. What will happen next?"

Watch (+ share) "Victim or Vixen" on YouTube (or listen via other streaming services here).

The latest by Andrew Clinco’s acid punk alias VR SEX takes its title from an architectural phrase but more importantly refers to the warped, wicked underworld the songs both chronicle and condemn. Donning the moniker Noel Skum – an acerbic anagram of Elon Musk – Clinco vents his scorn for and fascination with the seedy, surreal margins of low-life Los Angeles, doomed to dead ends of vanity, lust, and technology. Although initially launched as an outlet for “heavier sounds” beyond Clinco’s duties in new wave fantasists Drab Majesty, the project has ripened into a compelling exercise in world building, weaving themes of gritty city neo-futurist sleaze within a framework of driving, distorted guitars and cathode-blasted synths. Echoes of Chrome, Wire, Minimal Man, and Sisters Of Mercy ripple through the collection but ultimately Rough Dimension charts its own twisted vision of “our unforgiving reality.” Written and demoed across two weeks alone in a Marseille flat using his prized 1980’s Gibson “Invader” and a laptop, Clinco then took the tracks to Strange Weather studios in Brooklyn to record with Ben Greenberg (Uniform, The Men) who helmed 2019’s debut, Human Traffic Jam. The results are notably ripping, refined, and riveting. Riffs in alternate tunings chug and churn over mid-tempo drums punctuated by spikes of sci-fi electronics while the vocals swagger and spit venom (“where we walk is also where we shit / but if we bark at our reflections are we hypocrites? / impulses bleed right into our seed / where hate culminates the apple rotted on the tree”). It’s a bristling mix of the melodic and the macabre, absurdist observations of fast living and desperate measures, the clock of youth ticking towards midnight as dreams unravel in Babylon. VR SEX’s specialty is making these cautionary tales of psychic decay and tainted love a thrill rather than a drag. There’s a sunglasses at night glamor to Clinco’s choruses and solos, a wit to his black leather judgements (“what is the answer / to cancerous people / walking in my line of sight?”). The music’s milieu tends towards parasites and predators but its mood skews refreshingly accelerated and amused, cruising the strip with a cigarette, watching goths and limousines crawl in gridlock beneath digital billboards. The Rough Dimension may be a cesspool, but it’s home. Rough Dimension artwork:

Strip Clubs in Austin Tx

If you are nervous that you could see someone you realize and might have a difficult time explaining why you are watching a professional striptease artist at Strip Clubs in Austin Tx, consider dressing up for the night time out. You and your girls might have a hilarious time dressing as you alter egos. Buys some good wigs. Pair that with sunglasses and an outfit you normally wouldn't be caught dead in and you are golden.

46 bands in 96 hours: My 16 favorite acts at SXSW 2019

1. The Black Pumas at Hotel San Jose and the Mohawk - The biggest Austin buzz band since Gary Clark Jr. in 2012 surpasses expectations with galvanizing sets that balance smooth showmanship with gritty funk-soul.

2. Bad Moves at The Shed - D.C punk-pop band turns unison vocals into an art form by utilizing every combination of their four voices to elevate the tension, accelerate the pace, and escalate the fun

3. Black Pistol Fire at The Historic Scoot Inn - Mixing brute-force originals with snippets of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well” and Childish Gambino’s “Redbone,” this Canadian by way of Austin duo is the missing link between Led Zeppelin, the White Stripes and Japandroids.

4. Pink Sweat$ at The Historic Scoot Inn - Philadelphia soul is alive and well in the hands of this romantic crooner who came in known for his wardrobe but left renowned for his velvety voice

5. Angie McMahon at St. David’s Episcopal Church - The husky-voiced 24-year-old Australian delivers introspective anthems with the skyrocketing power of Brandi Carlile and the snarl of Chrissie Hynde

6. J.S. Ondara at the Mohawk Indoors - Kenya-born singer-songwriter’s emotive tenor recalls the quiet rebellion and hushed intimacy of Tracy Chapman. The crowd was pin-drop silent and so mesmerized that it took until the chorus for the smiles to register as everyone realized he was covering “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

7. Gymshorts at Side Bar - This fun, ferocious Rhode Island band owes a debt to the raunchier, metal-tinged side of the Ramones, with lead singer Sarah Greenwell waiting only one song before storming into the crowd, moshing and sharing the microphone with a fan, and flailing on the bar room floor.

8. Moritz Simon Geist at Cedar Street Courtyard - The strangest “band” at SXSW was a group of small self-built robots that helped their leader make thumping techno music by rhythmically dropping a stylus onto a record to create a bass drum, clacking hard drive arms to create percussion - and making inventive use of motors, circuits, relays and good old fashioned water glasses. 

9. Altameda at The Bungalow - Sometimes, the best American roots-rock is played by bands from Canada.

10. Robert Ellis at Hotel San Jose - The best-kept songwriting secret in Texas re-invents himself (temporarily) as The Texas Piano Man, a Lone Star version of Elton John and Billy Joel, on tongue-in-cheek songs like “Passive Aggressive” and “Topo Chico.” The showboating took a backseat to his impressive piano chops and a brilliant re-arrangement of his moody “California” that fit right in.

11. Laura Jane Grace at Continental Club and solo at Central Presbyterian Church - The former leader of Against Me and her new group, The Devouring Mothers, rock just as hard and loud as her previous band. But she made the most indelible impression with just an acoustic guitar. Between stripped-down originals, she covered two songs by the Mountain Goats (”The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton,” “Original Air-Blue Gown”) and the Replacements’ “Androgynous,” spilling her guts and opening her heart

12. The Beths at Container Bar - This co-ed New Zealand quartet fronted by Elizabeth Stokes crafts harmony-laden indie pop songs they way they all should be - powerful, punky, and perfect.

13. E.B. The Younger at Hotel at San Jose - Eric Pulido’s solo side-project finds the Midlake frontman veering into breezy, Southern California-inspired pop with help from members of the Texas Gentlemen. Great cover of Nilsson’s “Gotta Get Up” too!

14. Ben Kweller at The Mohawk - Many artists celebrate the power of rock ‘n’ roll, but this Greenville, TX native is one of the few who effortlessly embody it

15. Molly Burch at The Parish - This Austin singer’s voice swoops and swerves, switching octaves and shifting tempos mid-song, sometimes even mid-thought. She grapples with self-doubt and being an introvert but her hypnotic songs also ooze with a sense of wonder and quiet determination.

16. Weakened Friends at the Barracuda - Lead singer Sonia Sturino’s yelping, jittery voice gives this Portland, ME trio their edge, but their bouncy energy and heartfelt debts to alt-rock icons ranging from Weezer to Dinosaur Jr give them their charm.

I also caught: Sasami, Combo Chimbita, Wyclef Jean, Ambar Lucid, Barrie, Duncan Fellows, The Nude Party, Cassia, Priests, Durand Jones and the Indications, Black Midi, William Tyler, Pool Party, Tunic, Chai, Stef Chura, John the Martyr, Priscilla Renae, Sontalk, Graham Coxon, Guy Forsyth Jackie Venson, Mystery Lights, Bush Tetras, Yahyel, Sidney Gish, Cherry Glazerr, Dylan Cartlidge, Her’s, and Larkins

February Favorites

Every December I have a ritual. First, I try to compile a list of records, movies, and shows I’ve enjoyed the year. I wait until the last minute and then struggle to get it posted before the first of the year. I dump something half-assed on New Year’s Eve, then sit back and cluck my tongue at anyone who posts a “Best of the Year” list after Jan. 1.

I always resolve to do something sooner (and better) so this is a first step in that direction. The world has changed since I started this, but fuck it, here’s what I enjoyed in February. Here’s a link to a playlist for the music: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7ucvCNnCuT4ZZVCyz2ddKM

NEW MUSIC: 


Agnes Obel “Myopia” 
 Her fourth record of fine orchestral pop. 

 Arbor Labor Union “New Petal Instants” Four years ago I went to see them at the Bootleg and I’m pretty sure I was the only person in the audience who wasn’t in one of the opening bands. It was a great show. Southern fried guitars. I like Bo Orr’s yelp.

Califone “Echo Mine” Happy to finally get a new Califone record, though it’s a companion work to a dance piece and some tracks leave me wondering what I’m looking at. There are some great songs that anchor it as a whole. I love the sound of Tim Rutilli’s voice and guitar, and I think he’s a master of weaving abstract lyrics and melody in a way that makes his phrases land emotionally true.

Cold Beat “Mother” Synth pop that has the hooks.

Eyelids ”The Accidental Falls” Three years ago I visited a friend in Minneapolis. Woke up and made coffee and he put the “Or” record on the turntable, and Oh! that riff in “Slow it Goes”… a pretty great intro to this band. They’ve really put in a lot of work with collaborators recently, including an EP with John Cameron Mitchell. “The Accidental Falls” has lyrics furnished by poet Larry Beckett. (Related recommendation: Eyelids “Or”)

Frances Quinlan “Insight” 
 Hop Along started out as Frances Quinlan’s home recording project, then grew into a band so successful that she has to qualify her new record as a solo album. The distinction makes sense when you hear it, though, it’s pretty stripped down. I love her voice. (Related recommendation: Hop Along “Painted Shut”)

Greg Dulli “Random Desire” 
The Afghan Whigs are one of my all-time favorite bands. On his first “official” solo record, Dulli sounds energized and tries some interesting vocal tricks. 
(Related recommendation: The Afghan Whigs “Gentlemen” and “Black Love”)

Grimes “Miss Anthropocene” I like this record.

Heart Bones “Hot Dish” Sabrina Ellis and Har Mar Superstar are two of the best performers out there. They got together a few years go and toured playing songs from the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack; now they’ve got their first full length and it’s just as catchy and funny as I’d hoped.

The Innocence Mission “See You Tomorrow” 
I loved their first self-titled record back in 1989 and I’ll check out anything they release. Their arrangements are pretty spare these days but Karen Peris’ voice has always been the draw. 
(Related recommendation: The Innocence Mission “The Innocence Mission”)

The Men “Mercy”
 Over their career they’ve gone in a lot of musical directions and made several outstanding records. They’re incredible live but they haven’t been to Los Angeles in years.
(Related recommendations: The Men “Open Your Heart” and “Tomorrow Hits”)

POLIÇA “When We Stay Alive” 
This may be their best record yet.


Sarah Harmer “Are You Gone”
 Sarah Harmer played at Spaceland (now Satellite) in support of her excellent record “Oh Little Fire.” I’d had a long week and skipped it;  I’ve had to wait ten fucking years for a follow up record and tour. If Kathleen Edwards is the Zoë Records version of Lucinda Williams, Sarah Harmer is the label’s version of Shawn Colvin.

Soccer Mommy “color theory”
 Haven’t been much of a Soccer Mommy fan in the past but this record is one of my favorite records so far this year. Ride the mid-tempo wave.

Squirrel  Flower “I Was Born Swimming” Could easily sit on the shelf between Mitski and TORRES. It’s a great debut.

TORRES “Silver Tongue” 
I happened upon Pitchfork’s review of her debut back in 2012 and have been a fan ever since. Her debut is a classic to me. She signed to 4AD, put out two ambitious records and then got dropped. Now she’s on Merge and produced “Silver Tongue” herself. I think it’s her best since her debut. She’s fire live.
(Related recommendation:  TORRES “TORRES”)

OLD MUSIC (record store finds and new discoveries):

Dry Cleaning “Sweet Princess EP/ Boundary Food and Drink EP” 
I was listening to Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs in anticipation of their show here and when the record was over, Spotify played a Dry Cleaning track and I loved it. Both of these EPs are great, filled with spiky guitars and dry, spoken lyrics about the numb horror of modern life.

Guided By Voices “Live From Austin TX” 
Found this one at Soundsations. Double vinyl, recorded in 2004 before a hiatus. Sounds good. Lots of “Bee Thousand/ Alien Lanes” classics alongside tracks from “Half-Smiles of the Decomposed,” the record they were touring at the time.

Rosie Thomas “With Love” 
I liked Rosie Thomas’ Sub Pop releases, I didn’t know about this one but I found it at Amoeba. Happy to find out about it, it’s one of her best.

NEW MOVIES (theatrical):


Emma. 
It’s fun and it’s gorgeous. Every frame of the film is carefully considered and it shows. The performances are excellent and when the sparks start to fly it’s a thrill.


Beanpole 
It’s soul-crushing and gorgeous. The characters struggle to put their lives together in postwar Leningrad and find that any act of kindness or mercy can be manipulated or subverted. It’s not a cruel film, but it can be hard to watch. I’ve thought about it quite a bit since I watched it: about what writer/director Kantemi Balegov showed onscreen versus what he didn’t, how the characters’ histories are revealed, and about the performances that brought them to life. The film stayed with me, which is one of the highest compliments I can give. The trailer is a fine piece of work in and of itself.  

OLD MOVIES:



Ad Astra
 I don’t know how this got made and that’s not a slight but a registration of genuine bewilderment. The film is a juxtaposition of emotional emptiness and the void of the universe. An internal character study wrapped in first-rate sci-fi set pieces. I marveled at it on an XD screen last year and recently watched it with my wife. If anything, I wish it had leaned even harder into its art house impulses and cut the voice-over narration in half. 
 Doctor Sleep (Theatrical) 
I tried to see this in the theater but I couldn’t make it happen.  It wasn’t that my wife gave birth a week previous or that the film got middling aggregate reviews, as either of those factors by themselves would not have dissuaded me. I simply couldn’t get past the fact that I’d already wasted two and a half hours in the execrable mire that was IT: Part II two months beforehand and the experience left me gun-shy. Wish I’d checked it out on the big screen, looking forward to diving into the Director’s Cut.

The Gold Rush (1942 Version) I’d never seen this version of the Charlie Chaplin classic: it runs a few minutes shorter than the original and has voice-over narration. Started watching it with my daughter while we were home sick and realized that the sight of Big Jim, especially in a jittery frame rate, is pretty unsettling to a six year old.

Hacksaw Ridge Mel Gibson gets away with a lot of things, as a director it’s graphic violence. Andrew Garfield plays a conscientious objector who joins the army to be a medic and refuses to touch a weapon. The second half of the film is grueling but the WWII combat looks incredible. 

House by the Cemetery 
Your enjoyment of this movie will depend on your love for Italian horror cinema and all of its idiosyncrasies. The value is in the modes of death and the sound design. House by the Cemetery is not a great movie, but I love the scene where Bob is trying to get out of the basement. For a split second I felt genuine panic, as I realized that Fulci might be willing to take the events of the film further than I was willing to follow them.

Old Joy 
I saw Old Joy when it was originally released and I loved it. Two old friends at different turning points in their lives go on a camping trip. Kelly Reichardt’s made a lot of great films since then, but Old Joy has a special place in my heart because when I saw it I had just entered my 30’s and still had friends like Kurt. 


BOOKS:

Ad Nauseam by Michael Gingold It’s a collection of vintage newspaper ads for horror films from the 80’s. Reading it brought back a lot of memories. I admire the effort of saving these for so many years.

The Guardians by Sarah Manguso 

I picked up 300 Arguments a few years ago after the AV Club recommended it and read it on a flight to Chicago. It’s made up of 300 short passages, some only a sentence long. I admired the precision and thoughtfulness of those focused lines.

I sought out some of her other work and found her very relatable, in part because we’re the same age, suffered from similar medical conditions, and spent time in Iowa City.  I’ve read Ongoingness: The End of a Diary, and The Two Kinds of Decay.

The Guardians is a memoir about her close friend, written following his suicide by train.

Reading her books creates this expansive image of Manguso as a person, in that some of the events of the three books overlap. I realized that her reflections in The Guardians were those of the person who had also overcome the prolonged health issues described in The Two Kinds of Decay, and was writing about all of it in the diaries described in Ongoingness: The End of a Diary. They are all great reads. I’d start with 300 Arguments.

SHOWS:

Imperial Teen Zebulon 02/28/20 When I see Imperial Teen I think about all the other times that I’ve seen Imperial Teen. I think about all of those times in my life and the different highs and lows that the band has been through. All the different times that they seemed poised for great success that never materialized. Despite those disappointments, they still put out a record every few years and occasionally play a few shows. They have a deep catalog of excellent pop songs. It’s as great a pleasure to see them today as it was twenty years ago. 
 Califone The Hi Hat 02/29/20 I love Red Red Meat but I’ve never seen a great show by them. I like Califone and I’ve seen some good shows, but the last one I caught (2017) turned out to be a Tim Rutilli solo show and that’s not what I wanted. The show at The Hi Hat was the best Califone show I’ve ever seen. They sounded excellent and Rutilli seemed  enthusiastic. He kept thanking the audience for coming out on a Monday night (it was Saturday.) The set stretched close to two hours with no encore.

When booking a strip club for your friend's bachelor party, there are many things that separate the nice from the bad. By taking sometime to appear objectively at your options, you'll ensure that everyone in the party has a great time. Whenever you are booking Adult Clubs in Killeen TX, there are vast differences in the grade of the dancers, service and prices. Exactly like anything else, you typically "get that which you pay.
