hmm, Bearsuit will be in philly oct 14 & cleveland the 16th. They made that funny, kick-ass song "foxyboxer" that still sounds great in the car. Dunno if it would be worth driving for 2 hours in each direction to see/hear/witness, but maybe. No.
never underestimate the power of punch from a foxyboxer.
what?
oh yeah.
what?
oh yeah. etc
they're kind of like the Ting Tings but with two chicks & a dude & another dude.

watched the movie 'smart people' last night. it wasn't bad but i thought it would be better for some reason. it was funny that pretty much all the action in the entire thing takes place over the closing credits. very clever.
oh yeah & clearly i approve & was practically yelling at the tv when the main dude had a william carlos williams book under his arm & was starting to recite 'the red wheelbarrow' to sarah jessica parker.
this week has been all about reconnecting with my heroes, reaffirming my ongoing lust for cathy dennis & the mindblowing poetry of william carlos williams.
i'll say it again, learning about wcw & imagist poetry in high school definitely changed my life. the fact that there was a lesson that included poetry that was literally a note on a guy's refrigerator to his wife, apologizing for eating all the fruit. it was a punk rock moment, it was a moment for me that said ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS IS A FUNNY MOTHERFUCKER & IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO RECOGNIZE. Anything could be art, art could be anything.
So much depends
upon a red wheelbarrow
glazed with rain water
beside the white chickens
it rocked me in 1988, it rocks me now.

speaking of 1988, i'm up to the middle of season 2 of 'it's garry shandling's show'. it's half funny half stupid half retarded.
and also in the car listening to the history of uk dance music, they just came up to the part in 1988 when acid house came together. the early acid house shit is still cool when it's just a super dark bass synth line and a kick drum.
