There is a nice review of Bosque Brown Plays Mara Lee Miller on Delusions of Adequacy (thanks for spotting it, Ken) and a really favorable one in the current issue of Bust magazine that I retrieved from the P.O. Box last night. There’s something nice in the current issue of Sonic about Bosque Brown, but it’s in Swedish. Krister needs to help us out with some translating.
Insound is throwing around some hefty amounts of love for The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore, listing it as one of the best records yet to come in 2005. They’re selling Starflyer 59 Talking Voice vs. Singing Voice LPs over at Insound soon, along with most other btv releases, in stock now.
Dave, Nicole, their son Vincent, and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Saturday. Willie Wonka seemed to scare Vince, but I thought this was a very solid remake, the darker Tim Burton world was very fitting to the somewhat dark style of the Road Dahl storyline.
Sunday, I saw Ben’s display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and wandered around the modern wing a bit after. It had been a while since I’d met up with Cy Twombly’s works. I should take a moment to celebrate Celis White’s return to PA after a 5 year hiatus. We’ve all been missing you, it’s been far too long. In the spirit of shout outs that I know you all love and crave, Mike Stichter was in the house for some Celis celebrating.
