Amoeba Records is the place of my dreams.
If I ever get to one, I’ll probably never leave.
It is my dream to be one day asked, what’s in my bag?
Until then I’ll settle for watching these.
Here are some of my favs
*
p.s. Hey. Today the master of visual arts and d.l. and my current crosstown neighbor here in Paris i.e. Mr. Jonathan Mayhew goes record bag hunting via the greatest record store in the world, and you will have fun, guaranteed, and more fun the more you click, so have at it. Thank you, Jonathan! ** Hyemin kim, Hi. Oh, wow, that's a complicated question. Um, I don't think I can answer you with sufficient breadth here in the p.s., especially when I'm having to slightly hurry the p.s. in order to get back to my editing duties. I know I talk about Robert Piest in the interview in the book 'Gone'. Do you have that book, I forget? If not, I can try to find the doc of the interview and send it to you by email? Let me know. My apologies, but it's an important question, I guess, and too large a one for me to answer sufficiently right here. Thank you for asking. ** Etc etc etc, Hi. A trip to Orange County almost qualifies as nuclear Xmas plans? Ha ha, no, I wish I could be in So. Cal. for the event. Well, semi-wish. To see the, yes, Marjorie Cameron show among other things. No, I'm sorry, I haven't had any chance to look at what you sent, and, honestly, I'm pretty positive I won't be able to for the next while. I am literally co-editing our film 10 to 11 hours every day with extremely rare exceptions, and I'm barely even able to keep up with the blog and basic other things in my life at the moment. I just have no time and very little brain availability. I can try to read your stuff over the few days at Xmas when I won't be editing, if I can. I apologize. Paris makes really sure you know it's Xmas every time you're out walking anywhere, and they do a very good job it, so it's def. very seasonal here. Nice. ** David Ehrenstein, Maybe because ... huh, you're right, I can't think if a rational reason why he would have done that. Thanks for your excitement about our movie. Me too! It's pretty damned great, at least so far, maybe. We'll find out if our producers agree with that assessment very quickly now. It certainly not the film they've been expecting, but we're hoping the surprise works in our favor because, trust me, it's a whole lot better than what they've been expecting. ** Kier, Hello, Mr, Dullea! I know, that was such a good line, right? I'm envious. Wow, those are completely stunning Oslo photos! Everyone, put your finger/cursor on this word, which was actually two words, and go look at some very beautiful, very not postcard-like -- well, I mean they're like the postcards of one's dreams only -- b&w photos of Oslo by the majestic Kier! Stunning, pal! Yeah, very sweet drinks, yuck. Especially very sweet alcoholic drinks. Yuck. Is that just me? I do like egg nog, though. Oh, well. I'm glad you got a day off. You keep finding these Lukas movies that I've never heard of before. I'm turning into bad fan of his, which is inadvertent and sad. He jerks off in it? Like ... for real? Your 2012 obsession drawings are great, and gosh, thanks for doing one re: me (blush). Are you still fascinated by Lindsay Lohan? My day, like every day of mine recently, was editing-impacted and went very well. This one maybe especially well. We finished Scene 2! Well, a rough cut. There's still a bunch of work to do on it, but we made a version good enough to show our producers. That was exciting! And also in the morning we received the finished score for Scene 3 and laid it out under the current edit of the scene, and it's perfect and everything we had hoped for. So that was very exciting too. So today we're FedExing our producers rough cuts of the first three scenes on DVD, and, giant gulp re: what they'll think because, obviously, if they don't like the scenes, the future will be messy, but at least we're super happy. That was most of the day, but I squeezed in a meeting with Gisele in the morning to talk about and work on the new theater piece. She gave me corrections to make in the script, and I have to find time to do the corrections today because the translator -- it needs to be translated into German for the next rehearsal period because the performers are German and they'll be learning it in German first and then eventually in English -- so today will be a packed one. I managed to do a little conferring/organizing about the eBook-like novel-like novel, and we have a release date, and I'll announce it soon. That was my day in a nutshell. How, pray tell, was Tuesday, Kierster? ** Steevee, Hi. As an inconsequential side note, when I typed Steevee a moment ago it was the first in our history together on this blog that Blogger didn't automatically spell-correct it to Steve. The first time. It finally learned. Awkward/funny story. of yours I like Kendrick Lamar, of course, yes. I heard a little Danny Brown, but it didn't grab me. You recommend that I investigate him? Oh, actually, in one of my few free periods of minutes yesterday, I looked up the films on your list, so now I have a better sense. It was only a couple that I didn't know of or remember: 'What Now? Remind Me' and 'The King of Escape'. ** Bill, Hi. Oh, well, then I guess I'll go ahead and admit that I am actif_cho, so, yes, been there, done that. His eyes looked perfectly okay to me, but then I only glimpsed them for a second as the leather hood was descending. Do I need to say I'm kidding? If so, kidding. ** Marilyn Roxie, Hi, Marilyn! I hope you're doing really great! He sounds fascinating and complicated and ultimately like way too much. I'm an idealist, and I can only take so much misanthropy and jadedness before I get really bored and irritated. But I can totally see how that stuff in combo with great beauty would very compelling and fascinating. Huh. Very interesting. Thank you about the film. Me too! Love, me. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben! ** Keaton, I've spent the great majority of my life avoiding having work that I would have to go to, so I'm big upping your idea to stay seated. I'm sure you can write a great novel too. I mean, duh. Glad you liked the escorts. Yeah, I managed to find a couple of emos with good profile text this month. Score. ** Sypha, Are there people who really love King's bumpkin talk? There must be, right? Or does every single reader he has grit their teeth and merely tolerate that. I wonder. No problem on the shout-out. I'll go check it out too. Everyone, here's Sypha with something it would be really great of you to check out and contribute to if you can. Listen up: 'Oh, Dennis, if you could do me a favor and give a shout-out for my friend Brendan? He's this really talented younger guy I'm friends with who's trying to raise money on indiegogo to buy a computer to help him jumpstart his art career. Anyway, here's the link. If anyone could help him out even a little bit, I'm sure he'd be very grateful. Thanks!' ** Misanthrope, It happened. My decree has been issued. The case is closed. Sweet that LPS is into exercising in a formal context. Who's LeBron? Wait, I know that name. Sports. Nice of you to get him those shoes with that presumably sports guy's endorsement on them. Can you hook me up with some bottompassif shoes? ** Kyler, What a strange dentist. I like him. Unless what he now has planned for you is even worse. I hope Florida isn't hellish. Well, I understand it is inherently hellish, but I hope its hellishness will be busy elsewhere while you're ensconced. ** Rewritedept, Cool about the acid, sucks about the aftermath. My weekend was work-filled and very good. I heard that 'The Lego Movie' is good. Definitely a plane selection thing for me. That is definitely some old stuff you're listening to. Glad the mothballs aren't creating a sonic problem. Next time stateside? Good question. After the first of the year sometime. Likely in the first couple of months. When will depends on a few undecided things including if our film gets in the Berlinnale 'cos we'll have to go there for that in February. Oh, man, so sorry about your friends' break-up. International second-hand hugs for Jake from me. ** Right. Go shopping in what Jonathan has in store for you until further notice meaning tomorrow at the earliest, thank you. See you then.
