i spent a lot of my youth studying music theory. that said, i'd much rather read the "stabs in the dark" as you describe anyday. or anything in regards to lyrics.

currently reading a book of letters sent between Nin and Miller (A Literate Passion) have read her novellas and erotica, too. would be interested with any Nin discussions. i've tried to get through House of Leaves a few times, but always ended up giving it up about halfway through. i've heard...

i feel like i see at least a dozen girls around LA in those very glasses everyday; especially wating in the hallway outside of the casting agency, just outside the ad agency i work for's doors. i agree, wholeheartedly, on cardigans. i believe i have a stolen one, or two, from past bf's in my...

great story. to bad the greed took over. seems that is always the case in those kind of situations. i'd imagine they noticed the missing grand. did the hotel ever catch-on to the booze trade?

she was/is quite prolific, i'll give her that. and tbf, i've only read a few (very few) books of hers, and only i think two to completion. so i'm not sure it is fair to make any real statement on her work as a whole, except to say what i did read in the past did not move me. and yes, that is...

i am always most fond of takes on art and the like that veers into the "personal", i'll admit. though as for "inaccurate", well this is a film i've seen multiple times and i was nodding along to what you wrote. perhaps i saw it through a similar lens of perception. i didn't know Bergman was...

that is definitely not the Joyce Carol Oates i've ever been exposed to. that actually sounds interesting.

from someone who lives in the underbelly, it may as well be. love to know what you think on it after.

i've read some about this as it relates to autism, and the prediliction to synesthesia with letters and numbers, and also music. Nabakov supposedly was a synesthelete, and Rimbaud and Baudelaire have been noted to incorporate the trait into their writing. my young son is diagnosed autistic, and...

i agree re: Auster. read the NY Trilogy back and forth on the red line train, when i lived in Chicago, and loved it. not read any of his other offerings, though.

I prefer Cannery Row for a short slice, but The Pearl will give you a taste. That said, I did not care for Sweet Thursday as much as CR, despite the inclusion of the same characters, and Doc finding love, etc.

Flicker honestly not sure if "sci-fi" is the right label to affix to this book, but i do think it appeals to those who enjoy novels such as the P.D. James mentioned. 'Flicker' Theodore Roszak i've heard mention for some time now that Aronofsky plans on making a film, but not seen much more...

i had the opposite reaction. enjoyed a few of her album endeavors, but saw her play at a festival and found her overrated, and forgettable. though, i suppose, outdoor venues in near-unbearable heat is not the best judge of an artist's performance chops.

how could i possibly forget? i shared a wall with an apartment full of 4-8 (depending on who had passed out on their living room full of mattresses the night before) Bros, who were my nextdoor neighbors for about a year. at the time if i'd heard a 'Santaria' sing-a-long i would have had to...

and suddenly i have very disturbing images of members of Duran Duran smoking a bowl together in a shit car while trying to hide from some dealers/cops/other plot foil, still wearing the puffy shirts. please kill my imagination ;)

i could not agree more.

i have heard the term "bromanticism" about five times in the last two days, in different media venues and passing conversations. that is enough for a lifetime. truly.

or the near miss kiss just at that moment, no matter if it is "good friends or ex/potential lovers". no matter what the danger, even if the world is about to implode, there is that momnt for an almost kiss. more than "just a kiss" if there is a (five or six sequels required) slasher just about...

cheers. glad to help. would love to know what you think of it once you watch. it is a very different feel from season 4.
