Cinema Frenzy!

Streets Like A Jungle, So Call The Police.
Its Cinema Frenzy Day. I figured it was time to see some glory in both foreign and trash formats. Ms. 45. SCTV(the one where Dave Thomas does Richard Harris singing Macarthur Park 60's style.) and also got some crazed Herzog action, as if Abel Ferarra isn't fucked enough. However what I am most intrigued to see in the next few days, is Psych Out with Jack Nicholson and Max Julien(aka Goldie from the Mack). Oh and Al from Quantum Leap plays a hippie as well. And its all soundtracked by Strawberry Alarm Clock, well at least that one song they played every time on that Groovin compilation commercial on TV.
So they are making The Persuaders with my main man Steve Coogan.(of Tristam Shandy or for tha rockers 24 hr party people.) He's playing Roger Moore's Lord Sinclair, which is only funny because Rob Brydon kept making that joke in Tristam Shandy about Coogan ripping off Roger Moore's acting style. That is ok.
However it really is all doom and gloom ladies and gents, because BEN STILLER is playing Danny Wilde aka Tony Curtis.
What? That is stupider than Britney's interview. Stiller now officially gets off the pass list he got for Zoolander.
Actually scratch that. When he did that the Grungies sketch with Odenkirk and Andy Dick, I think that has earned him an eternal pass. So forget it, the movie will still be crap.
Me the Paris Hilton fan, hates the new song by the way. Its not a 1/16th as good as the Mu song about her.
Futureheads played ok, sonic youth ok. Sonic Youth was the classic case of just being too old. They just don't hunger for carnage or fame as much, anymore. They are just comfortable, and their peeps will support them no matter. Credit them on this, but it makes for less than exciting listening sometimes. Their heyday was like 15 years ago at least, so I guess they played like their age.
And if we are talking 80's NY bands, its Pussy Galore all the way.(Download the records ok, u can't really buy them as often anymore.)
Futureheads need more players and more toughness. They need more sneer less pop. That and Gang Of Four's Andy Gill producing or on guitar.
Yes I really spent 50 bucks on an album. Its a new high. But it was the Ultimate Collection of Yellow Magic Orchestra. Double Disc from Japan. As hard as it is finding Pussy Galore albums, its even worse trying to find YMO. They're the Japanese Kraftwerk, by the way. Their tunes are genius, it was worth it. Now if anyone sees a copy of Plastics-Welcome Back, let me know.


No more blogging tonight, must write more Flash Carnage, it is more important u know.

Rebelde update: Uh I keep missing it, due to soccer moving it to weird times. But, not much seems to be happening from what I heard in passing.

The Flash recommends: Betting on the Argentines in the World Cup.

Clerks II about a month, I think.


Stereolab is good for composing, so I had old school ones and new ones, to keep the calmness high. So that's what I listened too.

i just saw this video with Paris in it. I guess that it’s about Dave Stewart’s (from the Eurythmics) first group in the 70s that never released their album back then, and now there’s a big VH1 special on them.

anyone else heard about this?
