p.s. Hey. I put this together while I was amidst pain and pain killers earlier this week, so I'm very sure I forgot important stuff. Anyway, if you feel like sharing some of the favorites things you've come across this year so far, I would be grateful and attentive. ** Bernard Welt, Hi, B. A shout across the brief kilometers between us. I remember only part of that story about your portrait and its bizarre editorial reception. Maybe even only the portrait part. Very odd. I've got a couple of Duvert books in English here, if you want to borrow them and stick to the English. I'm up for 'Que Viva Eisenstein'. Let's sort it. Not for 'Magic Mike', though. Zac is down for the Versailles/Kapoor trip, so let's sort that too. And see each other today. Talk or at least text first in a bit. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Well, thank you for inspiring it. I was very happy to find that interview, as you can imagine. I love the way she talks. I think the earliest, best known of her books are still in print, or I think I noticed that in my searching. ** Tosh Berman, So cool. Growing up with the Pasadena Museum in reach was such a boon. They had an excellent reading series, mostly poetry but some fiction, at one point when I was, I don't know, 19, 20 years old where I heard and learned a whole lot. ** Kevin Killian, Hi, Kevin! I'm joyful to see you! Oh, that's interesting about the Julian Wasser show. When I was searching out Babitz stuff, I made a note to do a Wasser post at some point. Envy that you got to see that show. Are you good? Like ... really good? I'll bet? Tons and then tons more love to you from deprived me. ** Bill, Hi. Cool, a good panel can be totally interesting and fun and love-for-humanity inspiring even. I didn't know that project you linked me to. It looks quite fascinating. I'll delve into it in a short bit. I had totally spaced on the Legendary Pink Dots post, so I'm very glad you tweaked me. In fact, as I first read your comment while coffeeing into conscious earlier on, I started putting a LPD post together. I think it's going to need to be a subjective LPD sampler gig, and it'll pop up here next week sometime. Thanks! Have an excellent weekend! ** Styrofoamcastle, Whoa. Yo to you, man! I've been seeing C's snaps of you cooking and looking at your iPhone and stuff on FB, and I wondered what was going on. Oh, I can get you into 'TVC', don't sweat it. Not the slightest problem. So, you're saying you'd be here in late November then? 'Cos I think you mean during the Nanterre/Paris run. If that happens, I'll make completely sure to be here then. I haven't finished reading your book. I'm hopeless, but I'm quite a ways into it. Okay, I mean, I'm going to finish it anyway, but ... I don't know about that 'not fitting with your voice'. I haven't felt that way at all. Huh. Well, we'll talk about it. Awesomeness about the new novel-in-progress and about the show story/poem-y thing. Yeah, shoot it to me when it's ready. I know two of your recommended albums (Jamie XX and the Jaar), and, yeah, they're excellent. I know Jon Hopkins' stuff, but only in pieces. I'll get those records. I hope to get to talk to you soon too! I miss you a bunch! And maybe I'll get to see you in the big P! That would be sweet. Giant love, me. ** _Black_Acrylic, Right, gotcha, stick vs. automatic. I can't drive a stick shift to save my life. I'm too uncoordinated. Sure, yeah, I hear you about what the project's absence does to you. I go nuts and void-like when I'm not working on something. ** Steevee, Hi. My mom was really into Omar Shariff. It's strange because she was a semi-soft racist, but her big favorites were Shariff snd Harry Belafonte. It's definitely strange and depressing that there aren't big Arab movie stars in the US. Just as it's very strange and even more inexplicable to me that there are no big Black movie stars in France. ** Cal Graves, Hi, Cal. Glad you dug the post. Yes, banish that censored copy of 'Justine' to a brutal death. Or keep it around and glare at it fruitfully, I guess. What a pointless exercise that was. The stuff I'm listening to was mostly in that last gig post I made here. And in that list up there, to some degree. I haven't re-tried the new Hval yet. Probably today. I think I just missed its boat the first time around. 'Scott 3', yum, for sure. I'm making a gig post about Legendary Pink Dots, so I suspect that'll occasion my listening to them a lot for the foreseeable future. Ah, mystery of mirror-facilitated past life regression solved. That makes total sense. It's weird, or not, that whenever I run across someone who did that mirror/candle thing, they always saw the same things or rather archetypes, i.e. I was a pirate, I was an Egyptian higher-up, I was a soldier, blah blah. I will now face any mirror, even low-lit ones, with far more confidence in my notion of reality, thanks to you! Up? I just co-made two trailers for Zac's and my film. About to hopefully finish the script for our new film. Waiting impatiently to find out where/when our film will have its debut. Looks like quite possibly early September, so we'll see. A lot of film stuff mostly. And up-ness re: you? Just-ate-a-chocolate-eclair-ly, Dennis ** With that, I send you into the weekend with my 2015 picks to click. Like I said, I'd love to hear what you've been especially into, and, in any case, have the finest weekends, and I'll see you on Monday.
