today i have listened to: sonic youth, wire, mazzy star, M.I.A., DNA, sigur ros, sunset rubdown, elliott smith, the fall, no age, animal collective, and the stooges. i started listening to this live velvet underground album on the drive to work. i have to say their live r&b rendition of "i'm waiting for the man" is no match for the velvet underground & nico version.
last night i listened to "lift yr skinny fists like antennas to heaven!" for the first time in a long time, and i had forgotten how incredible that album is. one of my favorite of all time. i was discussing with CHOMP WOMP about how i would like to play a song that has a slow-burn-jam antennas to heaven feel during the first half and later shifts to a noisy punk stomp, "eliminator jr." esque.

at the beginning of "red red wine" off of pleased to meet me by the replacements, there is a skronk of feedback that sounds pretty much identical to allen's little amplified box of screech. we'll all be able to hear a lot more of its screechings on our upcoming alBUM.
the other night i began watching the film "withnail and i," which i thought was amazing. it's about two unemployed english actor drunks escaping the city after their anxieties begin to peak. they hole up in withnail's uncle's countryside cabin, swimming in more booze and wine, paranoid when uncle monte breaks in during the night that someone is out to kill them. that's about as far as we got, as those i watched the movie with kept exclaiming things like, "WHAT IS THE PREMISE OF THIS MOVIE?!?!" i need to watch the rest of that.
i also watched "vacation" recently after a hot summer midday swim. it was funny at parts but also turned out to be kind of a shitty movie. i almost feel asleep as a result of much hash and weed. but chevy chase was kind of hot.
