No way! I've been thinking really heavily about Holly & The Italians lately! I should pull that CD-R out right now, damnit.
Anybody else turning off their lights at 8pm for the Earth global warming thing? I've only got a half hour left before it hits 8pm here.

My daughter finally went to sleep (my wife, too). Just now beginning to listen to some music. Tunnel Of Love sounds perfect, actually. Quiet Saturday nights are alright. Then again, I'm old.

im gonna be 29 in a few weeks. that's old, right?
― bell_labs, Sunday, 30 March 2008 02:59 (sixteen years ago) link
No. You're young. I'm 40.
― Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 30 March 2008 03:00 (sixteen years ago) link
(Actually, 40 isn't old. Sometimes I just feel old, I guess).

It's called Demos Federico
I've been listening a lot to her first two records and didn't know that this was out there.

Previous options might be preempted because the original Thomas Crown Affair just started on TCM.
― Elvis Telecom, Sunday, 30 March 2008 03:03 (sixteen years ago) link
ooh is the original good? i have only seen the remake. art theft is so attractive for some reason!
― bell_labs, Sunday, 30 March 2008 03:16 (sixteen years ago) link
I like both versions - the original one has tons of abstract style but not the same kind of tension/suspense the remake does.
― Elvis Telecom, Sunday, 30 March 2008 03:25 (sixteen years ago) link
I am in CT, watching preseason baseball on TV, where I will have to get up and change beds when 15-month-old niece awakens around 5:30.
The original TC Affair is watchable but very silly cotton candy (Faye Dunaway as world-class 23-year-old model-beautiful insurance investigator).

I didn't know "The Windmills Of Your Mind" was from this movie.

it won the Best Song Oscar! what magnificently abominable lyrics.

I never paid attention to the lyrics until just now.

why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said?

Apparently my course of study up to this point has been a little neglectful of "The Windmills Of Your Mind."

^^^really depressing life, except for the film, which makes me happy/anxious
Am I the only one up on this thread who actually had a social engagement I was supposed to go to but was so beat that I decided the best course of action was to stay home and take it easy - which ended up meaning lots of old country music videos on youtube. Of course there is also the technicality was that I wasn't really sure if I was invited, but maybe somebody didn't have my address. In any case, I made some noise to some people about intending to try to go, I'm sure I'm going to catch hell tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be well rested enough to take it.

Wacky.. I didn't know that Hal Ashby worked on the original Thomas Crown (he was the editor)
― Elvis Telecom, Sunday, 30 March 2008 04:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I noticed that too. Morbius kind of right about this movie, but it's still fun to watch out of corner of eye.

Samba, Sugarloaf, Jungle, Piranha.
Don't you see? There's no way out. You've done too good a job, Vicky.

Had some vodka and cokes with mates when they got back and set the world to rights via that magic of slagging off how shit the UK is nowadays. (Post-Thatcherite malaise, you know the score) So... wasn't a total wash out.

OK, just put the WKCR country music festival back on.

I'd like a big delicious beer.

Hah... I haven't seen this in 20 years. I forgot that it was good old AIP that did this.

Plus Peter Fonda!
getting more beer...
Futureworld sounds a lot better than The Reivers.
Speaking of Peter Fonda, Chris, have you ever seen or heard the Bruce Langhorne soundtrack of The Hired Hand?

Maybe I should start reading one of these books I got a hold of today- the new Ken Bruen or an old Domenic Stansberry featuring a baseball theme.

Maybe I should read this other book I have here which is a crime story with a SoCal music backdrop, Beach Boys and Manson, Little Nancy Sinatra and Bobby Fuller, called The Dead Circus, by John Kaye.

The Reivers isn't that bad but I'd rather just read Faulkner.
I've got a copy of it. Great stuff and the Jeweled Antler-plays-Paris-Texas comparison is pretty spot on.
