Oh my gosh Anton’s new stuff has fat beats. He just sent me about half a dozen tracks and it’s amazing.
I’ll ask him if I can put a little bit of it up on here.
There’s one particular track that I think might be the coolest one that any of us or our friends has ever made.
He sings really cool on this stuff too.
Jeez. Really some unbelievably cool beats here. Damn. Leave it to Anton.

Alright we’re just about decided on the remixes of Amigos. It was very difficult since a multitude of genius remixers went ahead and got involved. Maybe we’ll announce on Monday.
Well, Denver again. That magical land where there’s no traffic jams. Really. I’ve never been in traffic in Denver.
Anyhoo check this out. This is one of the coolest installations I’ve seen anywhere. This is in the Denver Art Museum.
Heres what it looks like:
And here’s what it does with flash photography:
“Fox Games” by Sandy Skoglund
They’re having an exhibit of 300 rock posters which FatHead and I will be checking out later this month between skiing.

I wish he would have said two people instead of one.

Check out this new fish that they just found. I think it was listening to The Dandy Warhols Come Down when they discovered it, cuz they called it H. Psychedelica. I can’t imagine what the H is for, though.
Here’s what the Associated Press says:
Like other frogfish — a subset of anglerfish — H. psychedelica has leglike fins on both sides of its body.
But it has several traits not previously known among frogfish, wrote Pietsch, of the University of Washington.
Each time the fish strike the seabed, for instance, they push off with their fins and expel water from tiny gill openings to jet themselves forward. That and an off-centered tail cause them to bounce around in a bizarre, chaotic manner.
The fish, which has a gelatinous, fist-size body covered with thick folds of skin that protect it from sharp-edged corals, also has a flat face with eyes directed forward, like humans, and a huge, yawning mouth.
Zia thinks the H. is short for HEAVY.

Silent Movie (1976) – The interesting thing here is to watch a silent color film and it just happens that every couple hours or so they throw in a pretty funny gag.

Slaughterhouse Five (1972) – Okay, I just can’t seem to think of any clever way to say how knocked out I am by the genius on every level (ie cinematography, casting editing etc.) of this adaptation of the Vonnegut classic.

Here’s an article that I actually love. I think it’s short and sweet (like all great journalism) and sounds like me most of the time.
I have no idea why this didn’t show up on your Goog-a-lert but whatever. The world is such a complicated place and I try to be a Luddite whenever possible.

Ladies and boys hold onto your panties I’m on a Chet Baker thing.

I’ve got a record called The Best of Chet Baker Plays. Well I believe it. One of the best records I own. It’s all hits pretty much. What a guy.
He lived in Portland for a while. Guess he liked to shoot dope and be left alone. Played gigs with the local cats out on NE Vancouver. He left his saxaphone with the only white jazz cat, Billy Hood. Oh, actually I guess it was the pawn shop ticket for the sax. Not the sax itself. Apparently his daughter or grandkid still has it.
(If anyone can verify that story, would be nice to know. Thanks.)
Portland has a great dark history. We had the book Portland Confidential while we recorded Oddy or Warlords. It’s all about the creepy old place.

Old Joy (2006) – This is some of the best writing ever and once Will Oldham comes in, this movie explodes out of it’s “hard to watch local/indie” first few minutes.
A Star Is Born (1976 remake) – I laughed a couple times what with the kitch and all but mostly you just almost hurl.

“Anything big and dead serious is perfect for comedy. The bigger the target and the more it takes itself seriously the better.” – Bill Coker (retired director)
My neighbor was the 1st asst director on the Smokey and the Bandit movies and we were discussing the personal nature of what people think is brilliant comedy when that gem came out of his mouth.
