You know how when you grab a woman's breast... it feels like... a bag of sand.
I have a little over a week left in southeastern Ohio. I find that crazy. But I'm really not too sentimental about it. I won't miss it much.
I hate it when I try to play music on jukeboxes. I tried to play two Radiohead songs last night around 12:30 and it hadn't played by the time the place closed at 2. I want my money back.
Speaking of Radiohead, some of you may know that Thom Yorke's solo album has already been leaked onto the internets even though it isn't scheduled for release until next month. Have I listened to it? Not a chance. I don't listen to leaked Radiohead material. Never have, never will. I do download music (though not like I used to) but this is sacred stuff we're talking about here. First of all, I'm a huge supporter of the band and even though they don't get all Metallica about downloading, I know they'd rather have fans show their support (plus they aren't on contract with EMI anymore, so Thom's going indie on this one). Second, whenever this stuff gets leaked its almost always of poor quality. In this case, there's a watermark on the audio and so the sound quality is not up to par. For some artists, the difference may be negligible. But for Radiohead and Yorke (and Nigel Godrich, the unofficial 6th member of the band), they are extremely precise with how their music sounds. Listen to Kid A on headphones compared to your standard set of speakers and you'll see what I'm talking about. And it's just more fun to wait until the release date when I run in the store as soon as it opens. Ok, let's be honest: when I wait outside the door for an hour before they open. Ok, when I camp out in front of the store for three weeks before it comes out.
Any social conservative that votes for the Republicans this year is fucking retarded. Not one word has been uttered about banning gay marriage via the Constitution since November 1st, 2004. Now Bush brings it up when midterm election season is heating up and his approval ratings bottoming out. This is as transparent as I've ever seen him. Bible belters aren't this dumb are they? I mean, this crap has to backfire on the GOP at some point. You can't keep courting the bigots with promising the end of abortion and a constitutional ban on gay marriage forever without actually ever doing either one. If it isn't already crystal clear, here's a message for the religious right: they don't care about you! It's about taxes, deregulation, and war. It's not about Jesus.
Here are the top 5 movies I want to see this summer:
1. A Scanner Darkly
2. The Science of Sleep
3. Little Miss Sunshine
4. A Prairie Home Companion
5. Superman Returns
So the first one I think I've mentioned before. So I won't go into that. But the others, on those I will explain. The Science of Sleep is the next Michel Gondry picture. For those unaware, he did Eternal Sunshine. That's reason enough for me. Little Miss Sunshine is a Steve Carell flick. Again, 'nuff said. The fourth one, A Prairie Home Companion is the new Lindsay Lohan movie. You guys all know how much I like her. Actually, it's directed by Robert Altman. And he's kind of a big deal. I also really like the NPR show. I used to listen to it a lot when I was a kid riding around in the car with my dad. And last, and probably least, I have to see one blockbuster: the Superman movie that only took thirteen decades to develop/produce. I've always been a Batman guy, but I got nothing against Superman. And I have to see a good popcorn movie now and then.
Oh, and I forgot one:
But that's just understood, anyway.
This is every David Lynch movie I've ever seen. Seriously. Supposedly it's a scene from his new one, Inland Empire, but that's being disputed. I really wouldn't be surprised if that was the most sensible scene in the film.
This somehow turned into a hardcore movie post. "Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast." Alright I'm out. Watch out for those tridents.
