Hello!

Greetings-

I was reading so many blogs lately I thought I'd see about one myself. And for TODAY'S FAVORITES LIST:(!!!)

1. Loves of a Blonde(1965, dir. Milos Forman)
It seems there's somewhat of a revival tour for Mr. Forman here in NYC.. they're screening him at MoMA and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where I saw this earlier tonight. The pressure was on since I remembered loving it when I was 19... and I went with friends who didn't know of it other than my grand descriptions of it being "completely amazing and so tender". Luckily for everybody, this was true and I liked it even better this time.

2. Galaxie 500
I know I'm probably really late on this, but bands that exist in the constellation of music that sort-of sounds like Jesus and Mary Chain can be really really fun to discover. Listening to them reminds me of when I first heard the album Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, and didn't stop listening to it for about 3 weeks.

3. Free Latte!
I finally used one of the myriad of fully stamped "free coffee" cards in my wallet. For some reason, I save them all up for the hypothetical day when I will want to order something extraordinary like an an extra- large mocha cappuccino with caramel or something. Alas, the day still hasn't come when I have any such desire, so I just used it for the usual... you know... one of those vanilla bullshits or whatever it is they have. Coffee with milk.
