some things i forgot to mention about the dj shadow concert:
the first thing he did when he got on stage was mix "ideoteque" into the pre-show music, and just let the track play all the way through.
he said "i'm happy to be able to do what i love doing for a living: manifesting music for all of you."
~
i saw blade runner (the director's cut.) i enjoyed it, although for some reason it didn't always hold my attention (the last third seems rather weaker than the first couple.) especially cool - the visuals; also the music, which is hilarious. there's one short scene, around 1:20, in a tunnel, where you hear sirens and static and voices saying "stand by for further," which is sampled on that timo maas/deep dish tune i really like. pretty cool to hear that. a good movie, and by michelle's definition a great one (meaning that i definitely want to see it again.)
~
i got some music (surprise!) haven't really listened to the princess superstar disc yet - my mom called shortly after i put it on. but the kid606 - which inexplicably arrived as a cd rather than an lp as ordered - has revealed itself to be in equal parts moronic, grating, hilarious, and brilliant. unquestionably the best cut is "never underestimate…" (missy/jay-z/a-ha mash-up) to which my first response was "i wonder if i might, under any circumstances, possibly ever be able to play this at a swat party." my second response was "ben is going to absolutely insist that i play this at a swat party."
i miss the innocence i've known
playing kiss covers beautiful and stoned
