Last night, we did make it to see The Elf. I know that there are ads everywhere in the cities, on buses, billboards, taxi topS, you name it. And, the premise of a “big elf” seems completely ridiculous. And, all self-proclaimed indie rock hipsters are above schlocky holiday films. All I can say is that Keyes, Witmer, and I were howling through the entire film. Will Ferrell Is completely hilarious and he delivers some of the most insane one-liners throughout the movie. Even when you know the movie will take that endearing “christmas movie” path, there is enough momentum to carry it through to the end. I said it last night, and I’ll type it here, too, I think I would rather see The Elf than A Christmas Story again this Christmas. If you have a soul, then you have to go to see the movie. Grab your little sister or cousin or kid so you can save your image and maintain cool points, but once you’re there, you’ll reazlie that you’re the cool one for being there. Tonight, Willis is going to see Ms. John Soda and B. Fleischmann at the Unitarian. I’m not sure if I’ll be going…

Tonight, keyeS, witmer, and I are going to see the elf. I haven’t heard anything about this moviE, but it looks like some dumb fun. And it’s got will ferrell. I just went to the indian buffet with Dave and Nicole and have a belly full of spices and creamy sauces. All The Six Parts Seven LPs are en route to those who pre-ordered. Hopefully they will be arriving soon. These are some of the best songs the band has recorded And an amazing one-sided LP. You will laugh, you will cry, you will fall in love. I just added some new titles to the btV store, including new or recent releasEs from The Album Leaf, Do Make Say Think, Isolation Years, The Rachels, June Panic, Spokane, Explosions in the Sky, Amalgamated Sons of Rest, The Books, The Innocence Mission, Erase Errata, Joan of Arc 7″, and My Morning Jacket. I still have copies of last year’s Pedro the Lion Christmas 7″ for sale iN the store, by the way, as well as Low’s Christmas album. :::scott:::
Last night, after the Explosions in the Sky show, I met up with JoEy to give him some cds to take on tour. The Trouble Is off to do a couple weeks of shows, so be sure to Go out and support tHem. They’ve made new shirTs for the tour that say “God Save The Trouble with Sweeney.” You will want one and you will want to see them rokk. Coincidentally, Denison was around the corner, so we talked for a while aBoUt his recordinG efforts this week. He’s wOrking the swing shiFt on his sleep album. Willis and I have been giving him ideas For sounds, but who Knows if hE’ll use them or not. I’ve also been cultivating a friendster addiction. I’m behind the curve on this one, I know. Willis was encouraging me before the show. So, add me as your friend. Hey to JD, Christopher, and Johnathon who were trYing to make it to seE Saxon Shore at Schuba’s in Chicago last night. Let me know how it waS. :::scott:::
