'Shells'
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.
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.
No, that's good enough for me, Jon. Thank your friend for me.
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.)
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.

Best. Concept/Tribute. Band. Everrr!
Heh. I don't know if that tops the heavy metal band with a parrot, or GABBA (a combo Abba/Ramones band). Still, that's cool.
Best. Concept/Tribute. Band. Everrr!
I dunno, whoever linked to Nudist Priest really got my attention.
Ahhhh, music. Still need to work on Frankenbuddha's Crime Jazz though.
Just saw this over in bitches, and was still WAAAAY behind there.
Let me know when it's ready (no hurries on that front), as I have moved and will need to get you the new address.
