DEoes anyone else read this? Did you remember you gave me ACCESS to this thing? We can write and simultaneously publish our correspondance (sp?) like George Bernard Shaw and that lady, like Heloise and Abelard for the modern age! Just kid- ding. I saw some movies too recently. Sweenie Todd was boring but Grandma's Boy has one or two funny parts.

i went to see the darjeeling limited with my brother this weekend. it was surprisingly good, based on the preview; not surprisingly good based on wes anderson's scorecard with pretentious upper class young people like me n bro. i really did love rushmore.
and again, wes proved his ability to ace a soundtrack. A new favorite featured in this movie is peter sarstedt, a british hit-machine with only one real hit way back in 1969: where do you go to my lovely. but hey, i found another. it has to do with love, and rescue, and of course frozen orange juice.

i had a discussion with a canadian friend recently about the difference between their music and ours. non-mainstream groups like final fantasy and patrick watson sound like they're playing a music you wouldn't hear coming from the us (grizzly bear might be the closest statesider?). their polaris prizewinners don't have any apparent inclination to make something that might break into general pop. unfortunately, i can't articulate music well enough to explain why.
the canadian maintained that canada's music falls short; i disagree. this song is beautiful. the horns.

BUT THAT JACKASS STOLE IT ALL FROM THE BLACK PEOPLE
It's true. I know this not only because Public Enemy told me so but also just because I have listened to Chuck Berry and I just know. See also "Surfin USA" if you want to hear a much worser version of a Chuck Berry song. The reason this is all so fresh in my mind is because staying with my mom means that I listen to 1410AM Seawinds Jersey Shore Oldies all the time. I love the Oldies so I am happy but since I have listened to them so much I decided to do some research and I found out that Little Eva had to clean houses in the 70s and that Ronnie Spector never made any money from "Be My Baby." Do you know who else is poor? Bo Diddley. COME ON. Meanwhile I'm watching Cribs and the kid from Fall Out Boy just throws his hoodies out and buys new ones when they are dirty. MEANWHILE the mermaid from AQUAMARINE has 3 cars or something. This country sucks. Fuck you Carol King. I would give Phil Spector a big fuck you too but it seems like ever since he produced that one Leonard Cohen album/ killed that girl his luck has been pretty poor. Anyway, there is always this, to show where the white people really belong (IN THE BACK):
