That's where the kid-made Indiana Jones remake was screened.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Speaking of fun music and video. I just ordered this rarity:
GO FORWARD! 1968 JPN. GS film. 1960s Japanese Group Sounds band, the Spiders star in this rare "Help" inspired rock n roll spy movie! If you like screams, shouts, whoops and hollers in your 1960s jangle rock n roll, this movie is for you! I don't understand Japanese, but here's a sample of what's going on: first there's hidden diamonds and a mysterious girl with a big nose. Then, a sinister looking man in dark sunglasses sips milk from a straw—we see him regularly. He likes milk. There's an airport briefcase mix-up. Lots of cool 60s mod op-art rooms and sitar music. Magical Mystery Tour-type "love child" fashions! The Spiders watch TV and see a cool garage beat group. During rehearsals for their big TV appearance, a dead guy falls out a speaker cabinet! The music is excellent with sounds like the Monkees, Count V, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Kinks and the Association! Very cool Spiders performance scenes with groovy stage sets. Songs include "Here Come Spiders," "Ban Ban" and many others. "Are we not crazy cats? No, we are Spiders!" Bonus Selection: Performance footage of "The Tigers" from their 1968 movie!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
All those Lost & Found video collections are great. Didn't we discuss them here before?
I just forwarded your question about the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to a friend of mine in Austin who's familiar with the film/video scene there. I'll let you know what he says.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Didn't we discuss them here before?
I think so. I picked up two at Quimby's when I was there. One is Serge Gainsbourg's full-length video for Melody Nelson.
The other is the rare sixties mod film Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush.
I'm tempted to get this one too...
LOST & FOUND VIDEO NIGHT VOL. 5 - A 5 MINUTES TO LIVE EXCLUSIVE! A veritable treasure trove of bizarre, hilarious, jaw dropping and just plain amazing video clips you will not see ANYWHERE else. Featuring a dancing Mexican midget; the worst stand up comedian ever; warped religious teachings; rare musical footage of The Clean, The Barbarians, Leslie Gore, Roland Kirk, Os Mutantes, and To Live and Shave in L.A.; insane Indian disco; found home movies; Pat Boone losing his wig on live TV; weird commercials; Ronald & Nancy Regan discussing their heroin & crack cocaine habit; and much, much more. Running at a packed 90 minutes, this brain numbing dose of certifiable weirdness is a must see for anyone interested in amazing, entertainment! 90 min.
Os Mutantes, Roland Kirk, The Clean and insane Indian Disco? It's intriguing.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I got the new Tori album. I need another listen before I can comment, but that I like it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have iTunes on shuffle, and I discovered a fabulous segue:
Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio) -- from the Miles Davis [and Gil Evans, on this disc] Complete Columbia Recordings
------->
Oh Me Oh My (I'm A Fool For You) -- Aretha Franklin
I'm serious. They just *work.*

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio)
From Sketches of Spain, I'm pretty sure. I can see how that would work.

Yeah, that whole record is a classic. I think Betsy would like it. Grace Slick was listening to it when she wrote "White Rabbit" incidentally.
