Slowest news day of the year so far, by a longshot.
MUSIC:
Pitchfork's got the link to a new Franz Ferdinand track, from their forthcoming album. It's got the same trashy, slutty bounce from the Ulysses MP3, but sans the vague sense of mystery.
Morrissey is talking about quitting music. He does sound tired, but hopefully this is just NME blowing things out of proportion. Anyway, I can't imagine Morrissey running out of things to say.
Well, looks like I'll be watching the Grammys this year after all.
FILM:
Samuel L. Jackson may not be playing Nick Fury.
Two members of hilarious sketch comedy team Whitest Kids U' Know have been working on a first feature, and, well, it looks underwhelming. Maybe it's just the trailer, but this looks short on laughs. It just doesn't seem to have the vicious bite of their sketch work. Well, we'll see.
IFC's film blog rounds up the lukewarm response to Notorious.
WEIRD:
Jell-O Clown is satan.
WORLD:
Al Jazeera has released its footage from Gaza. This is crucial; the international media has largely been denied entry.
PERSONAL:
I spent a lot of day hanging out with friends; I watched Elephant with one friend, then Bottle Rocket with a few others. As much as I enjoy this relaxation, though, I'm looking forward to heading back to Austin. I'm craving an Alamo Drafthouse fix.
2009 FILMS SEEN: 1
2009 SONGS ON MY ITUNES: 43
Current Computer Situation: MacBook Pro, on the desk of my old room, exhausted from travelling to a friend's house and performing Build-a-Mix duties.
