The Pitchahs [02 Dec 2009|07:51pm]
[ mood | quixotic ]
[ music | Neil Young - Don't Be Denied ]

Because I'm a duderonomy with nothing but time, I decided to post youtube links to the trailers for all of my favorite movies on liverjournal. Woo, boy.

Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNn-2CTXzAw

David Fincher's Fight Club

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QgFWXLN-ug

Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKxvXs0bKWk

Jim Jarmusch's Down By Law

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcSxhjH0pwA

Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDceawCF5Xk

Jim Jarmusch's Coffee & Cigarettes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxYRsqkRS_k

Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bim7RtKXv90

Harmony Korine's Julien Donkey-Boy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUS8GGujwro

Terry Gilliam's Brazil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wh2b1eZFUM

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a trailer for Werner Herzog's Stroszek. I guess no trailer is better than a hilariously bad trailer; that NBK one is a laugh and a half. Also, the one for Fight Club seems to misconstrue it as some kind of romantic comedy, which is very funny.

Edit: I totally forgot!

Alfonso CuarĂ³n's Children Of Men

Life does have that tendency to whack you upside the head with curve balls. At least there's the positive result of that creeping sense of everyday-ness not being able to fuck with me.

Hey gise, here's my new drawing of Zacee-Poo, hope you like it.



Suffering the company of a hundred wholesale Zeligs, Molly Ringwald vomits the sum of pin-stripped cuneiforms. Cheap orators, ubiquitous in the costumed air of 3rd & Hennepin, guzzle pockmarked gingerale with the zeal of an alcoholic fresh from his fourth, wasted AA meeting. One more time for the record, you obsequious fuck. Always conducting your repetitious bullshit under the patronage of dowdy harpies, you're best left for a vaseline symphonic.

Totally awesome. Working at WTUL with the prospect of getting to be a real live DJ in November almost convinces me of having a purpose. YEAH RIGHT, HEY. Now, I'm making progress in the year like everyone who actually goes to school! Later, dudes.

AAANGST: I've been depressed (De La Salle flavored), really hot/sweaty/tired, and angry to a severe degree in equal parts for ninety-six hours straight. With any luck, the recovery time from this worst mood won't be proportionally as long.

I'm fairly certain I just saw a white moving truck with "AL QAEDA ICE CREAM DISTR." on the side.

Peter Brotzmann's Machine Gun is the most intense piece of music I've ever heard. That shit can incite fatal seizures.

Mark my words, the newish bumps/adverts Adult Swim has been using are directly influenced by Max Ernst's collages.

So, I just found out that Sarah's dad, Steve, is gay. You see, he and Sarah's mom aren't married. SCANDALOUS.

IN SHOWBIZ THERE'S NO ECHO ECHO ECHO [14 Mar 2009|02:13am]

[ music | Mi Ami - New Guitar ]

Mi Ami is playing three days from now, on the first day of the Rightguard job. I'll be very upset if I cannot see Dylan and I's new favorite band when they unexpectedly come here while Dylan is in town. I can only hope for even a tiny gap in between wrap time and the start of the show. It's like a challenge. Mi Ami knows Dylan and I want to make an afro no beat band, like them. They know we've got the encyclopedic music knowledge to pull it off pretty damn well. Trying to discourage the competition by specifically playing a date here when I might not be able to see them. I SWEAR I WILL SEE THEM IN CONCERT AND THEY WILL KICK ASS AND WHEN THEY'RE DONE I WILL KICK THEIR ASSES.

Sales Representative [12 Mar 2009|10:29pm]
[ mood | quixotic ]
[ music | NOMO - Ghost Rock ]

Have you ever analyzed your social relationships with salespeople? You see, I'm normally pretty panicked at the idea of standard interaction with another person. I usually keep my interactions closely pruned within the categories of "schtick" and "panic". I noticed today, however, that most of my interactions with varying sales representatives to be warm, casual, and generally pleasant. I imagine that's those are the qualities regular people attribute to meetings with acquaintances or strangers. Now, you see, I'm perfectly aware that the purpose of a sales person's actions is to convince me to buy something. Smiling and addressing me by my first name and motioning me towards the latest hot commodity. The sales representative and I are acting within the scripted roles of "pitchman" and "consumer". Knowing this, why would I feel that these relationships are more comfortable, perhaps even more genuine? Maybe the comfort is derived by how false it is; our actions are limited to our uncomplicated roles. Each party is able to maintain the facade perfectly, their prowess developed our of necessity, mine out of habit. The interaction goes "according to plan" and everyone's left smiling. Meeting new people isn't free form, it's just as scripted. The script is more ambitious, though, with a wider array of stock characters to channel. There are more cues to miss, a lot more at stake. Perhaps it's mutual altruism. Both parties are aware of the soul-crushingly insipid social network they're locked into and figure the best they can do for the other person is act genuinely pleasant. As nice as that would be, I don't think it's the case. That's all I have to say about the alloted subject right now.

I constructed a mix that I think is very nice. The theme is how large Sarah's ass is. The cover of the copy I gave her was adorned with bloody bandages from my recent wrist wound. Unfolded, it kind of resembled a Rorschach test.

1. Portishead - Silence
2. Wavves - California Goth
3. Liquid Liquid - Cavern
4. The Fall - New Big Prinz
5. Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come
6. John Cage - Music For Piano 3
7. Country Joe & The Fish - LSD Commercial
8. The Chiffons - He's So Fine
9. The Jesus & Mary Chain - Alphabet Street (Prince cover)
10. Edan - Beauty
11. The Rolling Stones - She's Like A Rainbow
12. Autolux - Future Perfect
13. Erik Satie - Trois Nocturnes 2

Waste Wound [04 Dec 2008|03:05am]
[ mood | quixotic ]
[ music | Flying Lotus - GNG BNG ]

I was beating a toilet with a lead pipe at the wasteland tonight, when a chunk of porcelain flew off and sliced open the top of my left wrist. It bled like a mother fucker for the first couple of minutes. I got to wrap it in my scarf like an infantry man.

That's it covered with iodine. Weapons-grade disinfectant that stung worse than the initial wound. Andrew's mother obliged in bandaging me with what looks like shrinkwrap. Judging by how little skin is there now, it may bring forth a lump of scar tissue.
