Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

I think someone thinks I'm a racist. DAMMIT NOT AGAIN.

Wristcutters: A Love Story has not enough Waits and too many dopey lines. But it's still better than it's been talked about. We Own The Night has not enough Brighton Beach exteriors and way too many dopey lines and it's not quite as good as it's been written about.

WFMU Record Fair finds: Live Costello bonus 7" from the original Armed Forces LP, a London re-issue of "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Norton Records goodies - the new Black Lips/King Khan & BBQ split Christmas 7", the Ramones, the A-Bones, and Andre Williams doing "Daddy Rolling Stone". Also: Belafonte doing "Day-o", Benny Goodman, and Phil Phillips' "Sea of Love". Finds I did not buy: Carrol O'Connor sings, a Dexy's Midnight Runner's 7" that wasn't "Come On Eileen", and lots of Wings.

Giant raw tuna dumpling = significant amounts of happiness.

Why do weight scales give different stories? Can't we get some unified narrative around here?

I'm showered and blue-blazered (well, black-blazered, but let's not get picky). Now all I need is some shoes and slacks and we'll be slick.

Sigh...hey, if YOU are reading this, get in touch with me...

RATS.
