When Sigur Ros’ “Staralfur” comes in during the end of The Life Aquatic, isn’t it a beautiful moment? Almost as beautiful at The Zombies’ “The Way I Feel Inside.” I love how Wes Anderson films are so soundtrack oriented, those details shine through. Bill Murray, Bill Murray, Bill Murray, Bud Cort. I don’t care what else you say, it’s fun to watch. I got to hear some of the finished songs for The White Ox. Unwed Sailor is continuing on from their contribution to the For Jonathan soundtrack.

I made it to both the Danielson and Starflyer 59 shows last night. As the Famile played their last note, I rushed across the city to see the very first note of the Starflyer show. It was great to see the Famile all together, especially Rachel from the West Coast, and the set was a good mix of the old favorites and a few new things. I was thinking that it was 9 years ago that we had a Valentine’s Day cd release party/dance for Tell Another Joke on the Chopping Block at my university in Philadelphia. Starflyer sounded really good in the small confines of the Khyber and it was great to see the guys again. Man, Yann Tiersen and Shannon Wright, who knew it could sound so good? Unbelieveable. :::scott:::
All hope is not lost: Danielson/Deerhoof at the First Unitarian Church and, later, Starflyer 59 at the Khyber. Tonight. :::scott:::
