Things I That Were Not A Good Idea Today, All Things Considered: 1. Staying in bed ’til eleven thirty with a novel. Let alone an Irish psychological thriller I’ve already read. 2. Hot chocolate and cigarettes. 3. Two-hour walk while listening to film scores, which are guaranteed to stir me up under the best of [Read Full Post...]
…spiral into repetition. Welcome to my latest obsession. Spiral this one does; I can’t remember the last time a song so lent itself to looping as the 5:26 of “Vanessa” by Grimes. Things she is good for: 1. An accidental prescription painkiller daze. Especially if you are having a bit of an…episode. Try getting way [Read Full Post...]
So, here’s a funny story from the annals of tenement living. I don’t know I get such a kick out of referring to my apartment building as a tenement. Really, it’s just a 1920s brick rectangle like most of the other buildings in my hood. I like its stately-yet-dilapidated façade and the fact that my [Read Full Post...]
There is nothing I love more than performing a thing I am already doing. Hence, I let my eye makeup smudge, slump in coffee shops while trying to write, carelessly forget my bra, wear ankle boots with everything. When play-acting, costume is understandably important.

The work (not, obviously, in wide release) and its GF-penned score are out today. Check out the intiguing trailer and killer theme, “Mother,” below. The Golden Filter – MOTHER / (trailer for the [Read Full Post...]
Apparently, sea green nail polish and one’s logic board don’t mix. This is was a lesson learned the hard way two weeks ago, which should go a long way towards explain where we’ve been since the Block Party. See? It wasn’t just our hangovers! The material consequence of this technological meltdown is that I am [Read Full Post...]
Seatties! I know you guys are looking for something to do on Thursday night. And what better way to kick off Block Party weekend than a solid night of dancing to the sweet strains of Brit bands (those party animals) from The Kinks to Christian AID – excuse me, Stay +? Think of it as [Read Full Post...]
Well, it’s my birthday tomorrow and Universe, if you know what’s good for you, I’ll get to feel like this all day long: Jesse Ruins – Dream Analysis Jesse Ruins – Sofija (These guys, Jesse Ruins are from Japan and their shit is custom-tailored to my ears) jj – Ice White Sea – Cannibal Love [Read Full Post...]
I threatened the other day to start titling my posts after particularly inscrutable, obscene or otherwise notable spam found in our comments. Well, Aaron, I’m making good on my threat. The full text of the comment from whence hails today’s title was “I just want to thrash around it is a wine glass.” What they [Read Full Post...]
