Silent majority for peace
Despite their (and my own) best intentions, The Decemberists have finally won me over.
The last 3 minutes completely fucking rule.
I am beat the hell down. Remember the crazy weekend I told you about? Yeah, it was crazy, as expected. Tiga kicked my ass to the curb, SO4 brought the Edmo Repra to the kids here, and I forgot to mention that I got to see TV On The Radio on Sunday as well...they were somewhat underwhelming, if not a tad boring. Despite excellent musicianship, their presence didn't quite fit the Kool Haus vibe, and it came off as a little forced and exhausted. I forgot that Subtle opened, and I missed all but one of their songs - can't say I'm a fan of this project, though I *love* Dose One's early Anticon stuff, but the label too kinda took a dive when the opted for all the psychy-folkhop bizzarity like Themselves & Why?...it was never bad, just kinda...wack, as the kids say.
What's NOT wack is my man Rollie getting signed to a different Cali imprint all together, Anti. Check his new vid...Shout Out t-shirt, Rampage references...I'm loving it. Edmo Repra indeed.
I have a feeling that my unemployment situation is winding to a close, and thank god. I never knew boredom could be so paralysing. Things are finally, slowly, but surely, falling into place. I think the new few years of my life might be the best yet, if I keep my shit together and work hard at life. I hope I'm good at it.
Leah, in her infinite wisdom and awesomehood, sent me this tonight. How poignant.

I wanna hear how YOU'RE ALL DOING. COMMENTS, NOW!
ciao, friends.
ps: Two movies to see before you die - The US Vs. John Lennon, one of the best documentaries I've perhaps ever seen, and the new David Fincher film Zodiac. The latter is a complete kick to the gut, but the slow and painful kind which drags your emotions and fears in every direction. Brilliant suspense, perfect(?) ending...anyone else seen either of these?

Zodiac rrrulz. Agreed. Thinking of you as the snow melts. -Devon-
I saw the Cadence vid on much music the other day.
oh man, the decemberists are so rad. and that video is ridiculous but also sort of amazing. i like the c.w. one too.
anyway, things are alright, thanks for asking. xo.
ps - i hope these movies look better than long snake moan, which seems sketchy as all hell.
Hi Eli! Ok, so a blogger-stalker, I am not. But I have been reading both you and Leah's entries regularly, so I feel up-to-date on you guys. You have totally reminded me to see both those movies! Fingers crossed about your job...
