re: jlb the collected fictions book is not a very good translation imo. i got more out of the di giovanni translations which are pretty easy to find in smaller collections like labyrinths, fictions/ficciones, etc.

Big Stan is a comedy film directed by and starring Rob Schneider. Although released in some overseas markets during the fall of 2008, it is slated for U.S. release in early 2009. On the radio show Loveline, Schneider stated that this film will be an "anti-man raping" film — referring to prison rape.

So it's not about raping anti-men? Because I was confused.

woody allen very much seconded. Also Orson Welles, but I don't feel like there's anything unreasonable about being endlessly fascinated by him.

Also, Brian Eno.

Probably Nick Cave.

I am a stan of myself - I mean I try to defend myself about little grievances that would normally make me depressed. I apologized out of the blue to some girl I found on the internet (on accident though) for crashing her party (etc..) a few years back. she replied that I was an asshole. I wrote back that I am sorry for my past self and 'good luck on your career'. after she called me an asshole I felt pretty bad. but defending myself made me feel better. and hearing a story about a friend who would fake make out with chicks as part of his stage antics made me feel better to.

Jack Kerouac

and Off-kilter music.

Oh! I know my real, ultimate answer: David Byrne. (It's hard to think of things at first.) Fits the definition as I understand it perfectly -- he's very good, but not as great as I often think he it, and not as clever as he often thinks he is. But god help me, I love everything he does.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 03:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Man, I love me most all the TH there is, but some of those solo albums are tough going. Like the one with Snoopy on the cover sitting on a celestial throne.

Mariah Carey, Kate Bush, the Deal sisters, Kristin Hersh

That's "Uh-Oh." You know, like, uh-oh, god turns out to be a puppy. See, not as clever as he thinks. I don't mind the album at all, though.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 04:19 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah, I got the god/dog thing. It's been years since I heard it - maybe I'd like it better now.

Barack History Month (Oilyrags), Thursday, 22 January 2009 04:24 (fifteen years ago) link

It's very late-Heads, actually.

I'm not sure I'm like this with anyone! I'm a little surprised to realize this.

TACOS

carne asada, Thursday, 22 January 2009 05:41 (fifteen years ago) link

I don't think it counts if it's not someone you could send an insane obsessive letter to. (Whether or not they are alive to read it.) Rock doesn't really work, nor roll. Certainly not tacos. I mean, I'd stalk Chess records if I could, but not even I have that much imaginative psychosis.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 05:44 (fifteen years ago) link

Otherwise it's just a list of "things I like," amirite?

"Set phasers to thrill!" (latebloomer), Thursday, 22 January 2009 05:56 (fifteen years ago) link

lolz.

Tacos are not here, and I have not seen them in a while. I worry that tacos are lonely. They're so old-school, though -- no IM, no email. I should write. It's the same way with my grandmother.

mose def (kenan), Thursday, 22 January 2009 06:01 (fifteen years ago) link

I totally want to post a letter with just "Tacos" as a destination address now.
