got milk?
now playing: vh1 classic
it's occuring to me that it's probably relatively easy to discern which of my posts come from home and which ones come from work based on the contents of the "now playing" line - since it's most often a tv show when i'm at home and music when i'm at work. this illustrates, for me, how seldom it is that i listen to music when i'm at home.
kinda disturbing.
saw an amazing movie last night - amazing in that it was a great movie, and amazing in that i actually had time to go to the theatre and sit down and watch a movie without having someplace that i needed to be or someone that i was blowing off someone to make time for myself.
anyway, i can't imagine there are too many people who want to see this that havent' somehow done so already, but - just in case - lost in translation - if you haven't seen it, check it out at some point. in my usual, finger-on-the-pulse-of-pop-culture manner, i may be the last person on the planet to have known about this film in the first place...and i saw bill murray's acceptance speech on the golden globes for his best actor award for the movie before i saw the movie. sheesh.
i truly am becoming an old, out of touch hippie.
however, this is why i fuckin' love vh1 classic. these are the last three videos they've played:
roxy music, more than this
REM, south central rain
throwing muses, juno
i also saw the video for rush's "vital signs" earlier, which i'd never seen before in my life. why was this cool? this was cool because i saw a crown PZM mic taped to neil peart's chest, and it struck me what a great idea that was - to actually record the kit from the drummer's seat and have a track that captures what the drummer hears to mix with the rest of the drum tracks....
...oh, did i forget to mention that it's studio footage? sorry.
anyway, i have some guitar maintenance to deal with before tonight's swan song gig that i really oughtta get on....but first, i'm gonna stroll down to the mini-mart and grab some milk. i've been craving quaker raisin, date and walnut oatmeal ever since i woke up, and i gotta make that happen. some days, i feel like i live in ice cube's house - cereal but no milk, kool aid but no sugar, ham but no burger....
