War Pigs is totally a song that should be played in a movie about Vietnam. It should be played in those shots that show the choppers landing. You know what I mean?

"Through Las Vegas Softly" from my new fave site: HIFINY.com. Also - it looks like this hifiny guy might be friends with this sixfive guy. Here is a picture he took of the motherland, back in 2000.

Christian Finnegan has done it again. The guy who got me into blogging (sigh) has rekindled my fanship last night with his new show called Sob Stories. He seems to be doing all the promoting, so I assume it's his show. Anyway, the show is the first Tuesday of every month. Check it.
Be sure to check out Todd Barry at The Marquee (great space) next Tuesday & and then Todd Barry again with Laura Kightlinger the following Tuesday. I unfortunately cannot attend that, but Paul promised he would try to make it - so maybe he will give me the lowdown. As for next Tuesday; you can count me in, Todd.

I’m sitting in the railway station.
Everytime I am getting ready to travel - or am actually traveling - for some reason or other, certain albums re-appear in my life. 1. would be Joni Mitchell Blue. If you don't know already, most of the songs on that album are about travel. 2. would be Graceland by Paul Simon, and then 3. is Simon again, singing the song "America" with Garfunkel. So in honor of that song. Here are the perfect words. My fave parts in bold.
I was thinking about women kicking ass again - brought on by my viewing Kill Bill Volume 2 (and Blue Crush - but lets not judge me. okay? I like surf movies, as of late). So I was thinking about kicking ass, and I was laying in bed this morning and I thought maybe I should go kick some ass on that loop around central park. So I got all geared up and went to the loop. What was actually happening at the loop was pretty cool. Child Magazine was sponsoring some kind of women's run. So for like 10 minutes, I sat on the bench and watched all these strong women kick the loop & each others' ass. Then I went on my own little run, and was so moved by all of these strong women that I just couldn't help but start silently crying. For any of you that have never done that, let me be the first to tell you that running while crying is VERY painful. Plus I was trying to hide the whole scene and play it cool. No worries - I was wearing a hat - but still. I seriously couldn't help myself. It was all I could do but feed off of the feeling in the air that these women were putting out there. I am really hoping I get chosen to run the marathon. I don't want to talk about it too much - for fear I will jinx myself. But after my experience this morning - I know I have it in me. I know I can do it and seriously kick ass. I WANT to kick ass.
