Fly Tongue-Tied and Stride Right
I feel a certain pressure now that this blog has been linked to. And the linker actually updates her blog, which makes me look like such a cyberspace slacker.
I finished watching the full 300+ minute Ingmar Bergman approved version of Fanny och Alexander last night. There are certain deep scenes which make my skin crawl, and the stark cinematography strangers the realism real good. In particular, I like the sequence of shots where Alexander meets the androgynous Ismael who is locked up Hannibal Lecter-style, and they foster an I-Thou relationship while the bishop's aunt reaches for the lamp and runs through the house on fire. For sure.
Momus thinks Devendra Banhart is a "charlatan shaman" in the fine tradition of Donovan. I think he's right.
Even though their latest CD is a waste of your time if you've already heard Vision Creation Newsun or any Psychobaba, it's still hard not to get your hopes up a little bit for the Boredoms (along with Jim O'Rourke) gig coming up in May at the Bowery Ballroom. Yes, I know, this is a Fargo blog, but to give you an idea of what I'm working with here, this is what's happening downtown tonight. Anyway, the Boredoms' EYE has an gallery show going on in NYC right now. For a few years now, his art has been more interesting than his music. Although I remember an amazing DJ set of his at Macao in Osaka.
