BACKWARDS CAPITAL H!

Come see my new band, (Backwards) Capital H. We're playing at the Mews (name drop?) next Sunday. We only play Sundays as we believe that while our music may not be in any way religious, it is epic in ways that are void of reason (see: religious). Are you a religious person? I'm sorry you don't have the common sense and strength of character that I acquired by age twelve. You can still come and put your hands in the air, like you just don't care about science (let me hear you say "HEY!" "ZEUS!"). Our drummer recently purchased a china symbol... made in China. It cost quite a bit more than the ones you'll find at Guitar Center (other instruments gravitate to the guitary center of chain musical equipment sales). Thanks to his purchase we are now 43% more loud, which translates to a net rock profit of 3.2 million dollars a year. This money will all go to funding research into quenching my stomach-lust for cookies. Did I mention there's also a cute lady in our band? So... you probably want to have an excuse to look at her for twenty five minutes. HANDS OFF THOUGH! She's spoken for. Our band has entered into an agreement that we can only date one another, especially if we become addicted to coke (influences? Fleetwood Mac). We wrote a song we call, "Hardwood Mac." It's a tale of a little girl named Stevie... who grew up to be the first professional female basketball player when drafted by the 1967 New York Knicks. Sadly, she chose music over basketball (like SHAQ) and has probably regretted it ever since (like SHAQ). Rounding out our band is leading synth sensation, Abercrombie Rick. He would describe our sound as "post-art." He's pretty cool. I hate him. Anyways, it's the late show so persons under age 21 and without a good fake ID will have to go do drugs or other illegal activity whilst us adults get responsibly crunk. Sorry! After the show, we're all meeting at Abercrombie Rick's house for a LFO Dance Party. See you there!

Brandy is sitting up in my room... thinking about YOU! BETRAYL!

Without hearing the song in at least ten years (couldn't be shorter than that could it?), Brandy's "Sittin Up In My Room" popped into my head two nights ago. It didn't strike me as at all odd until it happened again last night. Granted, I was and am a huge fan of that song... I hope this isn't going to be a trand as anything after the 80s was a very bad time for pop music. I'm going to be really sad the day LFO's one song pops into my head again.

My iTunes' Shuffle loves fantasy metal. Gnarly.

A link to pass along on this Friday. BLACKCABSESSIONS.com was introduced
to me Wednesday evening by my music guru. It features intimate performances in the back seat of a cab, from a lot of great indie bands. Below, is the video from My Morning Jacket's session. I'd also highly suggest looking at Calexico's session.


Following up on last Friday's post, I have seen both Role Models and Rachel Getting Married. I accompanied some fine film folk to Role Models on Friday evening, after dining at Fuddruckers. Fuddruckers, lol. My turkey burger was effing fantastic, btw. The movie surpassed expectations of mild amusement. I was not aware that the film had an R rating and it definitely deserves it (if you believe in the MPAA's rating system). What's not to love about kids using profanity and talking about boobies? Nothing. Everything about it is lovable. Add to that LARP'ing and KISS references and you have a hit on your hands my good man (in this case, David Wain).

Rachel Getting Married also surpassed expectations. IMO, Anne Hathaway is the best actress in movies right now. She's the center-piece of a great and very unique cast in one of the best cinematic dramas I've seen. Films that make you feel emotions (not gag reflexes) are not my forte; I generally steer clear of them. I must say that it is a great experience though, when a movie does tug at the ol' heart strings. Maybe not feeling any particular way specifically, just mostly in reaction to an induced empathy-overload. It happens. It happened to me a couple of times in RGM (and I'm a pretty cold sumbitch). Srsly.

I've got the rest of today off from work. Movies I'll be watching:
