Get Caught Reading!!!

Boyos,

In honor of "Get Caught Reading" month, I ran across and decided to post about this site.
Basically, it's a site dedicated to interviewing musicians, to see what kind of books and/or periodicals have influenced their lives and work. You probably don't realize this about me, but I'm an avid reader - given the time to do it. To find a way to fuse reading with musicianship is something that pleases me greatly, especially since - as easy as melodies come to me - I SUCK at writing song lyrics.

Enjoy. And, if you haven't discovered Paste magazine yet, pick up a copy soon.

Holy Awesome.

Arthur (and guys), I still haven't found whatever movie it was that I heard Sean Connery say "Don't sass me, woman. I'm fighting a serious urge not to slap you right now!" However, I did run across this little bit o' AWESOME today. Boys, you are welcome.

"I Driiiiink Your Milkshaaaaake!"

So, I was lucky enough to be in Chicago this weekend, one of the relatively few places that is currently showing There Will Be Blood. I knew from the beginning that this movie would be phenomenal, even when all I knew of it was a poster with the title and Daniel Day-Lewis' name, but it defied even my already-high expectations. Daniel Day-Lewis has got to be in the top 5 most amazing actors of all time. Plus, Johnny Greenwood provided an amazing and very original-sounding score, and you just can't go wrong with anybody from Radiohead these days.
Go. Now. Do not hesitate.
