When was the last time I posted on my dear Twenty Pounds Of Crazy blog? I can't even remember. To all of my zero readers, I do apologize. I must have been busy or something.
Probably the most important thing that's happened to me lately didn't actually happen to me. Amanda and Ivan, two of my best friends, got married last month. Here's the highlight reel:
A week ago I went to see a documentary about Fishbone, which was good enough to make me seek out their music. Sadly, I can't afford to buy any of their albums (I'm still unemployed) but I can watch their music videos on Youtube. So far my favorites are Sunless Saturday:
and Modern Industry:
Of course, the reason I went to see the movie in the first place was because I heard Eugene Hutz was in it. (He was, but for less than a minute.) And we all know how much I love Eugene Hutz (and, by extension, Gogol Bordello. ... Actually, I guess I loved Gogol Bordello first and Eugene Hutz by extension. Whatever):
On Halloween I hung out with my friend Dan, who showed me a video of his band (Don Juan Y Los Blancos, who are working on an album; assuming I don't forget about this blog completely, I'll probably write an entry when it comes out. Not that anyone reads this, but at least I'll feel like I helped promote it) playing in Vegas a few weeks ago:
But I think the video I've been watching most of all is Prisencolinensinainciusol by Adriano Celentano. This is what English sounds like to Italians, apparently. And it's pretty much spot on (and the song is catchy as all fuck):
Even better than that, though? This NW5 video. Oh my god, you guys, I'm seriously. It's so good! So good! (Also, I really want to see the movie it's promoting. Der Wixxer, indeed!):
And that's about it for me. Still job hunting, getting back in the mood to watch movies, listening to a lot of music as always. In a couple weeks my mom and I are going to go see They Might Be Giants in Anaheim. I certainly hope they'll play Marty Beller Mask:
But they probably get that a lot:
Be seeing you.
