I Had Better Things To Do...

Why watch last night's State Of The Union address when 1115.org can give you blow by blow commentary the following day? Obvs. I had much better things to do with my night, like finally getting to see Swimming Pool, trailer here. Great plot, great scenery, and most importantly, lots and lots of boobies. This movie is heartily endorsed by information leafblower. Swimming Pool, rent it for the boobies, watch it for the plot twists. Ludivine Sagnier, so much Buzz.

As if that wasn't good enough, we finished up the movie around 9:30, just in time to catch the nightly episode of South Park, which I can't seem to watch enough of lately. Monday's episode was Cripple Fight Club between Jimmy and Timmy and last night was the one where Kenny dies for good. The cripple fight was actually a shot by shot remake of the fight at the end of They Live. Timmay! Genius stuff.

I ought to have my head examined for failing to mention Chromwaves post yesterday pointing out the awesome Super Furry Animals bootleg available at indierocklive.com. I was at this gig and it was one of my favorite Super Furry moments from the last few years. Before they reached their current (modest) level of popularity the Furries always used to start their US tours with shows at Maxwells in Hoboken. And they would always be extremely jetlagged and drunk/hungover from the flight. On this day they literally got off the flight from the UK, went to Jersey, soundchecked, ate dinner and played the gig. And it was amazing. MWNG had just come out so they were doing some of the songs from that album as well as the bulk of Guerilla. Gruff wrote the set list on a paper towel and claimed that the songs kept moving around and changing order on him. My favorite moment of the night was when this drunk guy took advantage of a quiet moment in between songs to request a tune by yelling "Demons!" at the top of his lungs and Gruff looked out into the crowd and said "There's a tortured soul in the house tonight." F'ing brilliant. Super Furries and Maxwell's. So tiggs. Bovs.
