Chad Vangaalen

I’ve been listening to a lot of Chad Vangaalen this week. I’m a believer. Rare Genius. He animates his own videos. The first is scary and from his new album. The second is less scary and from an older one.

Movies, good and bad news.

A facebook message from Scott Gallant: “beautiful losers movie at the metro on oct 11. lets ride our ten speeds there with our flannel button ups, jeans sightly rolled up, and pbr’s tilted up. it will be a hipster holiday.” Are artists necessarily hipsters? Anyway, October 11. Metro Cinema. Be there. Meanwhile, if you have not read this Adbusters article yet do so and hang your head. Or just go dance.

I guess we’re waiting a while for Where The Wild Things Are.

Finally, finally there is a Criterion Collection edition of Bottle Rocket. It features a bunch of goodies including “Original artwork by Ian Dingman” who, buy the way has a grip of wonderful pieces for sale on his site. I want to know where the Criterion Darjeeling is?
