Album listened to this morning:
Further Seems Forever Hide Nothing

Still chilly with a temp of about 54 degrees. Today's high is supposed to be in the 80s.

The Force.net has a couple of descriptions of the upcoming Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith trailer. Sounds crazy, but I just peeked a little at the first couple of lines and then stopped. I've decided that I want to see this movie not knowing anything more than I already know about it (the Anakin and Obi-Wan fight, Anakin becoming Darth Vader and Luke and Leia are separated at birth). Why? I read so much about Episode II before it came out that it kind of spoiled a lot of surprises for me.

Yesterday I bought four bags of candy for Halloween. Two bags of Snickers Crunch, one bag of Reese's and one bag of Smarties. Hopefully the neighborhood kids will enjoy and I don't think we'll have problems eating whatever we don't give out.


Splendid has a very nice review of Mission Label's Demons and Rare Meat compilation. First it was a profile in Inner View, then a one-sentence mention in Pitchfork and now this. The good word is getting out.


MTV.com has this article on Jon Brion on his work on film scores. If the name sounds familiar, look on the back of the Magnolia soundtrack and Aimee Mann's Bachelor No. 2 for starters.

I was only a year old when The Empire Strikes Back came out, a time when apparently a lot of people were angry about the twist that revealed Luke Skywalker’s parentage. I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
