Record of the morning: West of Rome by Vic Chesnutt. The older I get, the better his music is.

Very different from each other, but Possession and In the Mouth of Madness are two of my favorite films. Sam Neill is phenomenal in both. In the real world it seemed he was showing us all how to live a good life.

Oh yeah. He ruined it in his first term and continues to dance on its ashes.

Here’s My friend playing one last year. The LED light strips aren’t really necessary but it still looked and played great.

My friend ID’d that guy right off. It’s a young Alexis Ross, a really good LA artist. More recent pic:

From Tim O’Brien’s book, which is excellent.

My Fourth of July week seems to be about reading war books. We’ve been at war pretty much my whole life.

Maybe I should make a door for them.

A raven pair nested in our yard this spring and their two fledglings have been exploring. They discovered the skylights and were knocking politely. #birds #ravens

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Eno doc was great, avoiding a lot of the biography documentary “rules”. Crispin Glover in a beautiful weird European film, and rewatches of Cronenberg’s outlier Spider and Sturges’ Sullivan’s Travels

Busy night at the water bowl. Everyone came by for a drink.

I still miss Joe.

One down. Absolutely everything else to go. Including him.

My index funds right now.

Questlove again hits it right on the head; not as tragic as his Sly Stone picture, less obvious maybe, but very good. And these EWF songs are stuck in my head now 24/7. I loved Backrooms. I love wandering empty malls, and this is right there for me.

“[The] picture was not just about … us driving around. The driver and the passenger see the road in different ways. When you drive you read all the road signs, but when you're the passenger, you don't, you can decide to look where you want.” RIP David Hockney

Art But Make It Sports would do this better.

To Be Celestial vs. That's the Weight of the World

The doc on Phil Hendrie was fine - he deserves a movie and more people should know how funny he was - and is, I guess. Marty S was tedious with the same tricks used in other Safdie pix that are tired and annoying now. #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd. Better movies coming.

Same.
