Pills Bury

I had some kind of crazy lumbar revolt going on earlier this week so I had to go home and have my own version of drug-fueled euphoria in the form of Flexirils. So, I got all setup like a teenager about to take mushrooms except instead of a blacklight, a Deep Purple record and a Betamax version of Alice In Wonderland, I had a remote control, a DVD, cell phone, and a glass of water. So, I stopped to get a DVD onthe way home from work and rented Sin City. As I was given the movie the Blockbuster guy (slave to the Mormon church) described to me that there were no late fees, but they would really appreciate it if we return the movies on time and then if after eight days it hasn't been returned, I obviously liked the movie so much that I want to buy it and my credit card will be charged for the movie. No more bullying by the movie place, it was very refreshing and is a weird corporate attitude, but I really liked it. Rather than demanding something, someone is asking nicely. Imagine if the RIAA was like "Please help us out and buy some music. If you bought more than we could lower the price and you could buy even more music." Instead, though, they say "Download any of that Kelly Clarkson and we will sue your ass..Thank you. come again."

So, Sin City . It was pretty cool visually. Kind of like the A-Ha video for "Take On Me" mixed with Who Framed Roger Rabbit with a sprinkle of any Tarantino movie. Most of the blood was white, which totally reminded me of Bishop from Alien when he gets cut open and starts spewing that white goo. I really like the color highlights that they worked into it and there are tons of girls butts.

Next, on the list is Twin Cinema by The New Pornographers. I actually went and paid $18 for it at Tower because I really like this band and thought they deserved the $3.50 per album cut that they get from Matador, hopefully. Great album. Mass Romantic is a little better, but this is still great. Songwriting is awesome and Neko Case kills me everytime I hear her voice. It's one of those voices like Tanya Donnelly or Aimee Mann where you just expect the woman to be painfully beautiful and then when their looks are average they still retain that beauty because their voice is so good. I'm not calling all of them average looking, either. The keyboard element is strong and the drums sound better than they have on earlier albums for some reason. Definitely receommended.

I also tried to checkout Minus The Bear's Menos El Oso after I heard some on KEXP the other day. It sounded good. Tower was out of it, so I will have to go find it this weekend.

Last thing, everytime a hurricane hits Florida I am a step closer to believing in God, Karma or Mother Earth. One of those three is trying to take care of us. I bet when the hurricane hits FLA there are just tons of ballots flying through the air still to this day.

This too shall pass.
