The First Man In Rome

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney.

If you dug the miniseries ROME then I highly recommend you find this book.

The First Man in Rome focuses mainly on the rival factions of the Roman senate during the republican years (circa 100bc) and the meteoric rise of Gaius Marcus who was repeatedly named “The First Man in Rome” due to his success as a general during the African revolt and then for defending Rome against the German hoarde.

There’s plenty of “common man” soap opera to keep it, well, common, but damn Colleen McCulloch really did her homework. You’ll learn a lot about how Rome worked as well as how they could eventually bungle it so badly that even an uncouth tribe of filth from the backwaters of europe could finally bring down the eternal city.

But that’s a story for another book…

First Post Of Twenty-Ten

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

Oh, my old, old friend, my twenty-ten, pull me to your cold cheek again.

I think the big whoop-ti-do over in North Portland on New Years with Brainer and the Upsidedowns and the Sixers was a big success.  I didn’t go, I only attend white-tie masquerades now.  But my Facebook is flooded with pics of the party, like this one I just stole form Upsidedown Jsun.

A NEW YEAR!

Courtney Taylor-Taylor, the leader of this outfit, has a couple of new movie reviews on his page, Pork Chop Hill and Arsenic and Old Lace.

I only saw one movie in theaters over the break, Broken Embraces, and it was great.  I now have a free ticket, because the Regal Club Card has to pay off sometime, and I was going to use it to see, Nine, but I guess everyone says it’s terrible, so now I don’t know what to see.  (Not Avatar.)  Someone let me know if that Clooney flick with the girl from Rocket Science is any good.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you are in Portland this Thursday night, don’t go to some movie show, check out Logan Lynn at Doug Fir. He’s the coolest.

Later, twenty-tenners.

CTT: Gran Torino, Other Boleyn Girl

Gran Torino (2008)

Gran Torino

(2008)

I just loved this movie and Clint is amazing but then again I’d be grumpy too if I was surrounded by such bad actors all the time.
The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

The Other Boleyn Girl

(2008)

Ham-fisted made-for-tv production makes this not only unwatchable but also makes these sometimes great actors seem like ten year olds who just got handed their first script.

The Wolfmen

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney.

Here’s a track from a record Jacob and I mixed.  They’re called The Wolfmen.  It’s a couple guys from Adam and the Ants with a dude from Massive Attack (and others) and Sinead O’Conner even sings on one.  The record is fantastic and has just been picked up by Sony for release in March. This track is about Marilyn Monroe so I call it “Marilyn Monroe”.  Not sure what they’ll call it.

A Fraction Of The Whole

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney.

Okay I’m only about seventy pages in but I keep feeling like this is my favorite book ever.  About every other page I just get overwhelmed.  Amazing. Jeez this guy is so deeply wise and funny as hell.

A Fraction of the Whole

UPDATE 10/14/09: I just had a friend ask me what he should read next.  Alright, let me just say again, read this book.  It is still blowing my mind every day. Amazing in every way.  Best book ever.  Holy.
