Evil Urges

Crunch time with editing means less time for blogging. For now, some random musings:

--The August issue of Revolver is now on stands everywhere. I think Brian will agree with me on this: no matter how small the mention, getting the word out about our books is a plus.

--Hot Fuzz has made such a powerful effect on me since I saw it a year ago. The most recent example of its effect is that I hope to watch Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, and Point Break soon. Yes, seriously. For this weekend, I have Silent Rage at home. Yes, it's Chuck Norris essentially against a Michael Myers-like character. Maybe Richard would like a review of this for his site . . .

--Darn it, why do I want to drop everything I'm reading for pleasure so I can read Goodbye 20th Century, David Browne's book on Sonic Youth?

--The more I listen to My Morning Jacket's Evil Urges, the more I like it, including "Highly Suspicious."

--I'm glad to see Nathan praise probably the funniest and heartfelt Apatow-produced film to date.

--After reading this interview with Jim Ward, I think I have some slight retooling to do on the At the Drive-In chapter. What timing! I'm going through that chapter today . . .

Living in Lakewood for nine years was critical for me, but I am glad I don't have homeless people going through my garbage, my street getting shut down like it's Mardi Gras on Halloween night, and I don't have to answer to the not-so-friendly landlords who bought my old place. I have a new housemate moving in at the end of the month and I have many reasons to be excited as he's been a friend for many years. Couple that with a humongous  new record store opening in nearby Farmers Branch , shows to see, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for something very cool (for which I reveal at a later date) and I'm happy to say fall is sha...
