I need a show of hands.... who thinks it's acceptable for me to put Tom Petty on my list of favorite musicians? I just want to make sure the powers-that-be won't kick me off the site for crazy taste. wink


Mini-Movie Review:
I just wanted to let you all know that TransAmerica is certainly worth seeing. It's not terribly deep or serious - quite funny most of the way through - but it's refreshing to see the subject taken up so gracefully. Not that I noticed a ton of strong female leads this year, but I'd definitely put my vote in for Felicity Huffman at the Oscars.
(One of my jobs is at an arts cinema, so we did a late-night employee sneak peek last night.)

Own personal sonic avatar, eh? I knew you were an english major!
I would've gone with you, but I don't know that I'd've stayed through Dylan.
My band has learned a couple of his songs:

Refugee (too obvious)
Don't Do Me Like That (a possible keeper)
The Waiting (we don't make it sound so good)

We try to punk it up a bit but his early songs are pretty raw and bare-bones already.

Now if only I could find a personal sonic avatar....
Maybe it's Ray Davies this year....

You can check out our latest homage to him

What? There's no French club in Indi?....and how does someone get to study so much French in Europe? Dad in the Army perchance?

As for me, it's not that I speak Swedish as much as the Swedish screws up my French.

As a Canadian living in Australia, I seemed to always find myself hanging out with Scandinavians. I've also spent a few weeks in Sodertalje and Oslo. Over time I picked up some basic Swedish langage.

My French is so bad that when I came home and when someone started speaking to me in French I would find myself asking them (in Swedish) to speak slower becasue I couldn't understand them. aargghh!

Long story short, I speak little of both, write even less and bastardize both all to hell.

Holy fucking life story....sorry.
