Yup. It's so fucking gorgeous.
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.
Mal: Does.. um.. does this seem kind of tight? Kaylee: Shows off your backside.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Huh. That makes sense.

I love finding out stuff like that. On the literary plane, halfway through writing Wise Blood Flannery O'Connor's friends forced King Lear on her, which she'd never read before. You can really tell.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
My Austin film geek friend gives an unwavering thumbs up to the Alamo people:
Although I can certainly understand that your friend would be very concerned about sending rare materials, I believe they would be handled with the utmost professionalism and care. They're experienced at handling and showing archival materials and have a great reputation in the local film community.
There's more I can forward to you, David, if you want.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
No, that's good enough for me, Jon. Thank your friend for me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Having a Sparks tagline must've inspired The Alternative, because they showed the video for "I Predict" tonight. Fun. Funner? What they played later - The Pogues' video for "If I Should Fall From Grace With God." (The song I want played at my funeral. It'll be a fun funeral.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Now playing: Mrs. Miller singing "A Hard Day's Night."
Her reputation is deserved.

Sorry I wasn't here, David, but the Alamo is one of the greatest things about Austin, run by and for film geeks. They regularly handle and show rare and archival material and produce viewings with creativity and charm. My friend Scott Von Doviak (who's also a film critic and film geek of the first order) knows those guys pretty well, so if you want to talk with someone with first-hand knowledge of their practices, let me know.
