Mixy Wixy


When I was in high school I used to make mixtapes for my friends, I numbered them and I think they went up to about 30 or so in volumes. If anyone reading this happened to receive one of these tapes and still has it- (fat chance I know) could you email me the song listing? I'd love to see what kind of mixes I was doing back then...

Cuz she's all that and a box of triscuits (baked)


"A really good picture looks as if it's happened at once. It's an immediate image. For my own work, when a picture looks labored and overworked, and you can read in it—well, she did this and then she did that, and then she did that—there is something in it that has not got to do with beautiful art to me. And I usually throw these out, though I think very often it takes ten of those over-labored efforts to produce one really beautiful wrist motion that is synchronized with your head and heart, and you have it, and therefore it looks as if it were born in a minute."
- Helen Frankenthaler

remember that stacking toy you had as a toddler?

Why burn a book when you can shoot it?




OKLAHOMA CITY --A candidate for state superintendent of schools said Thursday he wants thick used textbooks placed under every student's desk so they can use them for self-defense during school shootings.

"People might think it's kind of weird, crazy," said Republican Bill Crozier of Union City, a teacher and former Air Force security officer. "It is a practical thing; it's something you can do. It might be a way to deflect those bullets until police go there."

Crozier and a group of aides produced a 10-minute video Tuesday in which they shoot math, language and telephone books with a variety of weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle and a 9mm pistol. The rifle bullet penetrated two books, including a calculus textbook, but the pistol bullet was stopped by a single book.


Maybe the GOP can hand out magic bracelets too, so young schoolgirls can deflect the hale of gunfire and protect their fellow classmates? Better yet, send those books and bracelets to Iraq...

Fears for Tears?


Wow and with Asia no less... let's hope it's as good as Deep Red!

Argento toplines 'Mother of Tears'

Pic is last in helmer's horror trilogy
By NICK VIVARELLIROME — Asia Argento will topline her father Dario Argento's English-language horror pic "The Mother of Tears," billed as the third installment in the cult helmer's "Three Mothers" trilogy.
Asia Argento, whose credits include "Marie Antoinette" and "XXX," will play an American art student who unwittingly unleashes a plague of witches in Rome by opening an ancient urn.

Pic, which is being co-produced by Italy's Medusa with Myriad Pictures, is being touted as Dario Argento's return to the slasher-style filmmaking that won him a following.

Shooting is set to start Oct. 30 in Rome, with plans to move after one week to Turin, where the Piedmont Film Commission is providing location and accommodation incentives.

Rounding out the cast are Udo Kier ("Dogville"), Massimo Sarchielli ("Under the Tuscan Sun"), and Philippe Leroy ("The Bible").

Screenplay is co-penned by U.S. scribe duo Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch ("Toolbox Murders") with Argento.

Previous pics in Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy are "Suspiria" and " Inferno."

Fear


"Come to the edge, he said,
They said: We are afraid
Come to the edge, he said.
They came,
He pushed them,
and they flew."

AME Strong


I am currently obsessed with this French cd from 1996 by a group called AME Strong. They just released a new single Un Tout Petit Bout De Nuit but the lead singer also just died! I can't seem to find any info on them anywhere (even in France) so if someone knows anything could you email me? Here's a link to a clip of Un Tout Petit Bout De Nuit
