Robert: 122 God Only Knows - Beach Boys 123 New Jersey - Red House Painters 124 Escape - Rupert Holmes 125 Hey - Pixies Long time, no blog, and sadly, there's not much time now. Lotta email to check in the 3 hour span between arriving here at the Doubletree Hotel in Orlando with the big pineapple in the front... and leaving for the airport to board a plane to Boston. And don't get the impression that i don't like happy endings. Just saw the Goonies on the big screen. Very happy. No dancing. I like that in a movie. There will be no signing today... or ever...

Robert: Last night I saw Cast Away and Shrek. I enjoyed both, but Shrek had the dreaded ending. Smashmouth even. At least Cast Away paddled clear of such follies... 126 Fiesta - The Pogues And yes, the kidney thing was just an old urban legend. It must have skipped my grade school. And I found a website where you can order our CD from Japan for (gulp) $38! I'll spare you the URL. There should be news on the US release real soon!
Robert: The following was written a few hours ago. AKA last night: Warm Budweiser. Answer me this: is it a common occurence for someone to get drugged, have a kidney surgically removed and then awake, completely stitched up in a bathtub full to the brim with icecubes? Odd, because that is exactly how Kiss Me Judas by Will Christopher Baer (a book i read while mixing the album) began. And it's a quicky edit joke in this movie i just saw. You may have heard of it. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Maybe I was just unaware of this lucrative organ trading biz, or could it be that Kevin Smith put in an odd joke based on (what I thought was) a pretty obscure book? Anyway, it freaked me out a little... So the movie... Well, I thought it was pretty funny. A lot funnier than Dogma, coincidentally seen in a similar situation - a near empty theater during the day. I get the feeling that these are movies best enjoyed in the company of a full house full of rowdies, who will scream with excitement when we see, Dante or Brodie, for example. And they are all there. A ton of cameos and a constant barrage of jokes about how dumb / pointless the movie actually is. Which I thought were (mostly) pretty amusing. I dug the Good Will Hunting digs and Will Farrell alone is worth the price of two admissions, hands down. But... We have that blasted ending that I was complaining about earlier! Granted, it involves a much better (see also: campier) band than what Rat Race had to offer, and props to Mr. Smith for that... but still, it's the same old... I received an email about a very good movie, The Imposters, that had an ending such as this... but remember, Mr Tucci did NOT use this celebratory cast-dance as a haphazard way of wrapping the story... it was an amusing addition after "the end." Andrew is bringing down some Indian food leftovers for me. What a sweet guy. Our refridgerator is chock full of outrageously priced sundries. You want a Snickers? They'll charge my card $2.50. And another thing. Where do these hotels get off charging my credit card $100 deposits for the phone-use-per-day upon arrival? Have they lost their minds? It turns out that my mysterious $400 charge from the Hollywood hotel was actually a charge for some other random person's room?! - Are you sure you don't know Richard Smith??? - NO. I have no idea who that is! Now please give me back my money! It only took them 2 weeks to figure it out. Oh man. Dig that Indian food. We theater jumped to The Curse of The Jade Scorpion, which I also enjoyed. Even though the entire plot is based on us believing that David Ogden Stiers in eyeliner can hypnotize people, i still enjoyed it. Small Time Crooks was funnier, though. What next? I so have day-off syndrome. For a good 2 hours, I walked aimlessly through a mall here in Jacksonville. Take me back. Back to the road. And if you don't own anything by Kind of Like Spitting, then you are surely missing out. What are you waiting for? I'm staying in tonight. Spent too much money on Hand Grenades in N'Orleans. And what did it get me? A long evening that I don't remember that well. August 27, 2001
dan: words..thinkin' about takin' a trip to cleveland this Labor Day weekend..rOad Trip..ohhh yeahhh...lets get those tape jams rollin'..
Robert: 127 Tractor Rape Chain - Guided By Voices 128 Good Morning Captain - Slint Good morning captains. Just woke up at a hotel in Jacksonville. Before you feel envious, let me remind you that I tossed and turned from 3 until at least 6, after a late night trip to Lenny's in the back of a truck. More on this later. For now, I just read that my pal Ron Sexsmith will be on Conan O'Brian tonight. Rerun. |
