1. iPod - Don't judge me. I'm not proud of my consumerist tendencies.
2. the Walkmen, Live at the Metro - So good. They played every song like it was their last song ever. There were times when I wished I could somehow hear more than my ears could. Does that make sense? I still like the older songs better but the new ones are growing on me. For a spell I stood behind some "industry types" with their sterling silver jewelry & leather jackets & I felt relatively young. Later I stood near some young girls with "sixties haircuts" & 70's sweater vests who were actually younger than I thought when I looked at the them directly instead of out of the corner of my eye; then I felt old, quite old.
3. Sneak preview for Michel Gondry & Charlie Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind - This movie is amazing. You're following the narrative flow for the first 10 minutes & then the titles come on & then you just let go. Jim Carrey is restrained & likable (you want to put your arm around his shoulders & say "it's gonna be okay guy"), Kate Winslet is as good as she's been since Heavenly Creatures & the rest of the cast (Elijah Wood, Tom Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst & Tom Wilkinson) get their fair share of the movie. At one point, Carrey walks down an aisle in a Borders-like store & into the living room of his friend's (David Cross & Jane Adams) house. David Cross' first line is "Do you want to smoke a joint?" I don't know, go see it when it comes out.
4. Latin Lps - I think I have enough for a section now. I ordered a couple of 45s, too. My parents are so proud.
5. Song Poems - no explanation necessary. Look & listen hombres.
