my apologies for the lack of updates. my weekend of drink and epic karaoke left me with a mild case of the consumption. so here’s a sweet video of ryan adams and the cardinals from last month. enjoy.

if you have the chance, do yourself a favor and go see let the right one in. i watched it last night via completely legal means (ahem) and i will definitely be seeing it at the uica when it’s released here in grand rapids next month. the premise, a lonely boy befriends a mysterious girl who turns out to be vampire, sounds less than stellar at first. but it’s so much more than that. the cinematography is breathtakingly beautiful, which contrasts perfectly with the brutal violence of the film. i was completely mesmerized by this little swedish import. check out the trailer below and then go find it in your city.

i am a trekker, have been as long as i can remember. there’s actually video footage of me at age 8 watching the next generation with my mom. ds9 is still my favorite, but i love the original cast movies and have a reverence the original series as well. so i’m not entirely sure how to feel about the new jj abrams remake/reboot/prequel/whatever. ew posted this picture of the “new” enterprise earlier this week:
i think it looks pretty badass, but i’m still cautiously optimistic about this. for one, it’s jj abrams. i liked cloverfield and i didn’t mind mi:3. but i have low regard for pretty much everything else he has done. don’t even get my started on lost. for two, it’s written by orci and kurtzman. these are the geniuses that brought us eagle eye, transformers, and the island. so there’s that. but i’ll definitely go see it. it’s frickin’ star trek.

every so often a song grabs me and just won’t let go. ”bottom of the river” by adam arcuragi is definitely one of those songs. i found it on youtube and then found a whole host of over wonderful performances over at la blogotheque. watch this, then watch the rest.

this week’s epic win comes from brandon hardesty. he’s got a million of these movie re-enactments on youtube, including a hilarious goldblum impression from jurassic park. this one is my favorite though. the mustache (!) is clearly from a mr. potatohead. enjoy.

you may have heard that skelletones, a grand rapids institution for almost 8 years, is closing in january. while this is sad for many (myself included) who cut their teeth at this little venue that could, there’s still one last chance to act like the 16-year-old within and celebrate a cool little spot that meant a lot to many. january 16-18, 2008 is the skelletones farewell weekend, featuring 30 bands over three nights. some of them are bands you know. one you might not is my un-ironic high school band, analogous angst. here’s a picture from our first ever show at skelletones from june 2001. not pictured: rei robinson and pete rossman. we added them later.
i think i still have that shirt. get your tickets now, as i’m sure they’ll sell out soon.
