vid a little help from my friends

yaadgaar was today, which, bizarrely enough, means that I not only went up on stage, but did it to sing, and to top it all, did it more than once! Go figure. Sang 'When I'm Sixty-Four' with my flatmates, and an unmentionable song with my class, and no it wasn't 'Behenchod Sutta'.

Still searching for "Thank you for smoking" - sometimes my p2p sucks... though i won't name no names coz the rest of the time it's a pretty good thing to have. Just saw Dr. Strangelove - the man is an unparalleled genius in Hollywood history when it comes to creating a dystopic scenario that effectively conveys a hopelessness that usually borders on the absurdist...
Saw 2046 too, right after 400 Blows - funny the contrast, from a black and white, cinema verite, handheld camera told tale that holds you riveted throughout, to a glossy, almost tactile visual experience in its rich tones and warm lighting that merely manages to mesmerize your eyes for the most part. But for all that, just for watching/seeing you don't mind sitting through a rather long, somewhat weak tale, its so brilliantly compositioned and shot. I think this is going to be the cinematographer's decade if not century, the potential of the visual is beginning to be truly realised now - which may perhaps have something to do also with experimentation in animation... my god that is the way of the future. Some of the experimental stuff going on truly evokes awe, its a whole new mind fuck.

goto ... bizarre yet true?

Death Cab for Cutie... for the best band name, possibly, after Duran Duran. Though Queens of the Stone Age and The Dandy Warhols give 'em tough competition.
Also the Michel Gondry video for White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button" so majorly kicks ass it's not even funny.

here's the map of music based on the blueprint of the map of the london underground... funkier than a mosquito's tweeter
