Bastids

I just got word this morning that my beloved Damnwells were booked at the last minute to play TONIGHT with Fooled by April at the Paradise. The Damnwells, whose new album is called Bastards of the Beat, clearly have an attitude problem.

I keep forgetting to post my roommate's photos of Andrew Bird. It's the Mid E show I missed because I was dying of the Norwalk Virus and therefore making love to the porcelain god in various positions. The photos are amazing. Andrew Bird is doubly beautiful in a form-follows-function way, so please appreciate him on both levels. He is currently my favorite musician in the world. Act now -- this status expires soon.

I saw Girl with a Pearl Earring Sunday. It was boring. The music was repetitive and creepy. By the end of the movie, I wanted to choke Scarlett Johanssen with her terrified rabbit face. And you thought Felicity did a convincing wet bunny look.

Let your hair down, girl -- for christ's sake.

14 hours, 53 minutes and 44 seconds. 9 cigarettes not smoked.

That explains it.
