touch me i'm sick

in honor of halloween, i wanted to post possibly one of the best music videos in existence for any holiday, ever. warning: it is amazing.



wow.

and if you haven't heard about it already, the little radio in downtown LA is hosting a halloween party THIS halloween. autolux and the henry clay people are set to play, which should be rad in the face. it'll set you back 24 bucks, but there's a free open bar all night. YEAH! you'd spend that much on just two drinks at some lame scenester spot like cinespace anyway, PLUS you'll be getting tons of rad music... and did i mention the free open bar? shit yeah! i think i did, but it's worth mentioning again. you can get yr tickets by clicking here.

good news, everyone!

as previously mentioned, friday i went to the autolux/deerhoof show at the natural history museum in downtown la.

there, we spotted everyone from that one dude in nin to karen o of the yeah yeah yeahs to vincent gallo. and of course, the usual "hip" crowd of silverlake and echo park bohemian transients. museum + hyped indie rock bands = pretentious artistic types galore.

the show very different from their performance at the glass house in pomona a few weeks ago. this set was more along the lines of "ethereal aurual ambience" sprinkled with some new takes that they seemed to be experimenting with (hint: light on the vocals). eugene closed the show with "thanks for spending the past 45 minutes with us underwater." if you weren't there, you missed out! oh yeah, and to the dude who was recording the set with a 4-track... post that shit, already!

tonight i'm gonna go check out the burning brides kick off their month-long residency at the echo. it's free every monday in june starting at 9p so do yourself a favor and go. also, make sure you pick up their new album "hang love" out on june 19th when you're out grabbing the new white stripes cd "icky thump." check it ouuuuuut.

burning brides live in tex-ass on 03.26.05:



for those of you out of the indie-music loop, you may have heard/played the burning brides song "heart full of black" at some point on guitar hero. ...yeah. that's all i'm gonna say about that.

moving on... i've been watching futurama on dvd again. that show was amazing, why the hell was it ever cancelled? here's a clip from the episode "bendin' in the wind" (fuck yeah! dylan reference!).



tomorrow i get to go sit in on a cast reading for futurama. my friend joe matt knows the show's creators david x. cohen and matt groening pretty well, so he invited me to go along with him.

this goes without saying: my friends fucking RULE.

knock knock knockin' on heaven's door...

usually, i wouldn't post about a movie unless it had to do with music or some shit (check out the new anton corbijn film "control" about joy division frontman ian curtis, for starters) or unless it was pretty fuckin' rad. but this is my god damn blog and i'm going to do whatever the fuck i want because no one is reading this shit anyway.

knocked up, judd apatow's latest blend of "comedic wit" and "heartfelt reality," isn't really either of the above forementioned things. it's good, though, and worth your money, with the exception of those graphic "the miracle of birth" shots. fuck dude, no one wants to see that shit! at least not me. whatever, the rest of the time it's pretty fuckin' funny.

check out this clip:



other highlights include a scene where actor paul rudd's character scores some 'shrooms from "a roadie for the black crowes." laced with musical references and hilarious canadian weed jokes, it's worth watching. plus, the dude from "undeclared" is in it and he's wearing a nin shirt in one of the scenes that i happen to also own. i always thought he was kinda cute in the super dweeby way, so his wardrobe stylist person/whatever gets props for that. fuck you, yeah, i still like and listen to nine inch nails.

and here's the trailer in cased you missed it:



annnnyywaaayyyyy, tonight i'm gonna go see autolux and deerhoof perform at the natural history museum downtown. it's gonna be rad. then i'll prolly hit up the raveonettes show at spaceland afterwards, if there's still time. if i miss it, there's always a chance to catch 'em when they play at the echo on june 8.

and yeah, surprise! i didn't post about dylan, but i still had to fit him in somehow... if you didn't catch the title of this post. oh yeah, and if you're ever in silverlake/los feliz check out the 4100 bar right at sunset junction.... there's an awesome jukebox selection with everything from sonic youth to guns 'n roses to dylan! fuckkkk yeahhhh!
