mom placation was ironing by which mens perrypops in a womansuit is the new child mystericating teats that can taint baconated digestive broads plastercasting gnostically from the great gospel wwjh

i have drank all the cocktails.

also, on john justens rolling documentary watch, i watched "jandek on corwood" and "B.I.K.E." tonight. they were both acceptable.

bike was of predominately local interest because it was (kind of) about the black label bike club, which started in MN, and had a couple of people i know in it. It also focused on the brooklyn black label bike club, for which i would like to take the opportunity to apologize on behalf of my fine city for starting the blbk, because most of those dudes seem to be complete douches.

Damn, Sara, I'm sorry. I had no cocktails last night either, only half of a beer. Although I should imbibe soon as MY MOTHER MIGHT COME TO MY HOUSE FOR XMAS. argh.

Life is too short. . .lately I've been in bed by seven with some huge, fluffy library book. LAME.

oooh jj i have been meaning to watch that jandek doc for years. tell me more!

I read that as "Jandek on Torchwood" and got excited in a stupid and improbable way.

"I've never spoken in public before, but the mess that is Torchwood has finally made me speak. Seriously, wtf Cardiff?"

I'm new to this thread - can someone sum it up for me really quick?

Next time I take my sister's advice on which contractors to hire to get some work done, kindly euthenaze me.

Incidentally I skipped two years in school and 11 year old me on my first day in a class of 13 year olds responded to a question about euthenazia by talking about youth in asia.

Ed - you are Emily Litella's fraternal twin!

xxpost John's documentary watching habits make me feel really boring for still being in "catch up on the last 50 years of mainstream films" mode

Also welcome Z S!

ps guys, I wound up just drinking cocoa last night; not even one cocktail. Dammit.

oh so yeah tehresa the jandek doc was pretty much what i expected - i mean no revelations obv, although they had the cooperation of "corwood industries". lots of musos talking about why they thought jandek was great, some of which were very cool and interesting and some of which were def far too committed to the "i enjoy this because it is inherently difficult and you do not because you are stupid" fake high art crit. interesting to actually hear the 1985 phone interview that john trubee did.

all that aside, i liked it but it def didn't break any super new ground, and i am a casual jandek listener at best. prob the best thing about it was the examination of how people build their own little mythologies around him, purely because they have to invent a back story because having no story makes them uncomfortable, esp when some of them had really really bought into the "crazy recluse in a one room shack" thing that is so obv and patently untrue.

the B.I.K.E. doc was mostly (and i think somewhat unintentionally) a rambling story about how the filmmakers buddy who wants to join is a fucked up junkie trust fund loser. again, kind of fascinating in that respect but srsly, next time call the movie "my douchey friend Tony wants to join the BLBC but it doesn't work out so he spends a lot of time naked and crying and then makes a crappy fake bike club in defiance and no one cares - the end."

Why thank you, and you've played your part.

The documentary is interesting in light of him now becoming a much more public figure.

"much more public figure" still equals "Sara has no clue who you are all on about"

;_;

I have seen that Jandek documentary but never really listened to him, so it was just okay. Enjoyed the Daniel Johnston one better.

Alright, it's settled. My brother, sister-in-law, their four kids, mother and stepfather are all coming down on xmas. We have no guest beds, a couple of air mattresses, a couch and an abundance of dog hair. this should be fun.

Daniel Johnston doc is one of the best music docs ive seen. also great, much to my surprise - that flaming lips one (fearless freaks?).

in general, the less music critics involved (sorry ned), and the less they actually talk about the music itself, the better the music doc will be IMHO. see also "the tale of two johns" about TMBG.

I feel like I need to make another "to see" list. If I could give up sleep, I'd get a lot more of this stuff accomplished.

lol I love less vs fewer confusion

I have more and more confusion, tbh.

dan are you really criticizing the grammar and word choice of a dude who has eschewed all forms of english format in his msg board posts?

uh-oh, ex-English major hissy fit imminent!

(just kidding, Irish; gotta give you a hard time before the day is out)

actually i dont think either of us ended up as english majors. PHILOSOPHY V COMP SCI FITE!!!!

that is a battle royale that would draw in the crowds, btw

Look, it's been a rough day at work and if I want to take joy in the mental image of music critics getting BoxingHelena-ed as they try to talk about music, I believe that is my right.

actually that does sound like something that would have a substantial draw.

"hey ned, there is a directors cut of "in orange" hidden in the bottom of this box."

"does this rag smell funny to you?"

jj, have you seen the dead moon doc? it is awesome.

added to netflix q

heads up: new HI DERE username is in serious contention for best name ever

xxxxpost I will make fun of your many not-quite-majors as I want to, John.

Dan stuck pretty closely with computer science, so far as I know, and honestly, I question that more than anything. (gah, except this fucking nursing major, which is destroying my life)

I want to stab my own eyes out with a pencil.

tehresa, I hope you are done with your project/s or at least napping right now!

i am not napping.

holy christ only ten hours until my biochem final

i will not be sleeping much 2nite

me either

BROS IN DELIRIUM!!!!!

hey me either but that is mostly due to videogames and tying one on in preparation for HOLIDAY RETAIL GAAAAAAHHH

i just put on a pot of coffee

attempted to purchase "new old formula" schlitz tonight but it was $10 a 12 pack. WTF SCHLITZ U KRAZY

I think John should be forced to take the biochem test, do tza's project, and write these interventions for breastfeeding assistance for new moms for me.

I'm sure the three of us would be happy to deal with the store for him in exchange.

I'm frankly boggling over the notion of "new old formula" schlitz.

i mean, improving your cheap shitty beer only works if it remains cheap. i suspect some Grain Belt Premium style shenanigans here.

i will totally work the store in exchange for project doing because i have worked xmas retail including arguing with a woman over the guitar strings she was buying for her son/the fact that she was a bitch and cut in line
