so, today, i had the very awesome opportunity to meet JOSHUA WHITE, the man behind the Joshua Light Show. Incase you are wondering, in a short & simple biography, he's the master of the great & psychedelic liquid loops that were projected behind any legendary 60s bands, think--Hendrix, the Dead, Jefferson Airplane.
PIC=F. ZAPPA He came in & spoke to my class about a bunch of things, it was quite a treat to meet him since i am very much a fan. can you imagine what it would have been like to listen to hendrix while watching this shit...? esp. if you were on drugs?! ha! it reminds me of the time i saw radiohead in 01 or 02', gone out of my mind on something...now, if only i had the light show-10 million times cooler. PIC=JOSHUA WHITE the best part is, after class, i had to get up and shake his hand and say thanks. apparently, my class and professor told him about how in the 1st semester i did a presentation on his life, so we cut a few jokes back n' forth, and at the end, he's like, i have a present for you! he totally gave me a copy of the LIQUID LOOPS dvd.
can't wait for this documentary to hit. should be out soon..but haven't gotten exact news on the release. its eric green's answer to shoegazer music. with interviewees such as kevin shields, mark gardener, robert smith-on bands like jesus & mary chain, ride, catherine wheel and plenty more gushy, drowning shoegazer bliss. all together now.......
its a craptastic day in the have. cold & rainy. total bummer. not to mention, little things have been getting me down. hey, if i can't use my own blog to bitch..i don't know what to do.
devo truly paved the way for so many alternative bands that peeps have jock itch for. sure, they were wacky, but who doesn't love a spice of wickedness? rads for shilla. definitely my favorite devo song, too bad this recording is so warped! please enjoy. and if you are not familiar with the total wickedness that is devo, please allow me to share the wealth.
lets hope tomorrow is a better day.
and here's the clip when they feature 'gut feeling' in LIFE AQUATIC (killer flick). eine german, for my double boo, christine & ike, who are germany abroad.
sunday-funday. in grad school, not so much, but i dare to dream. been cleaning. organizing receipts and paperwork. (my least favorite thing to do) a personal assistant would be nice. i woke up super early this morning thanks to beccs. she called me at like, 5am my time. she had just left smartbar in chicago after seeing derrick carter & mark farina. lucky. so i watched dr. strangelove.
i fuckin love movies. i am really stoked for all the new ones i've been reading about. like this
ok, top 5 reasons to love this movie
1. opening -the smiths, there is a light and it never goes out. any movie that opens with two people finding each other on account of the smiths, esp. this freakin' song, one of my favs.. buying a ticket just for that reason alone! 2. joseph gordon levitt 3. notice he's wearing a joy division tee in one frame 4. off beat romantic comedy. those, by definition of sundance standards are the best kind. 5. the sid & nancy joke. cool.
