TANC Mad World: finally saw Donnie Darko on Saturday. Two thumbs up.


did you see the orig or the "director's cut"? I've heard the latter is a disappointment; but that given Richard Kelly's output since, that's not surprising.

Gaz! TANC: "Love is a Cattlefield"

I assume it was the original--got it via Netflix, and I don't recall there being any "director's cut" tags appended to it when I put it in our queue.  Man, Jake Gyllenhaal sure looked young, but I guess that was the idea.

BOS2 China. One of the early songs that I associate with MTV.

I didn't recognize the movie clip.  (Shocker!)  Thought it would segue into Missing Persons' "Words," but much happier to be getting forgotten Cure.  BOSFRA.

BOS China.
And BOS2 to The Cure!  I don't hear this one that often. (Though for some reason, it was always playing at Starbucks a few years ago...)

Red Rockers' "China" flashed me back to a spring day that year; I was standing in Canal Jeans in Soho and they had WNEW-FM on in the store, playing this song. Nothing other than that, just a moment in time. BOS4.

and BOS5 the Cure. "i saw you looked like a Japanese baby" -- er, wha??

ah yes, I must be dancing on the lunatic fringe this AM.  nyuk nyuk
I think it's the cup of Blue Bottle Coffee I got.

Speaking of Red Rider, a friend of a friend was paired with Tom Cochrane in some celebrity Golf tourney.  I'm sure the "fringe" jokes were flying!

BOS3 to The Cure -- Walk  (btw, the Cure's album Mixed Up contains a pretty great remix of this song, with some kick-some-booty heavy bass.)

Will you be in SF on Nov 12th by any chance?  Ray Davies will be at the Warfield!

Probably not likely for me to be in town then, damnitall. But I'll be curious to hear about that show--one of only three he's got booked in the States, and the other two are in NYC. Have you heard about his latest album? It's re-recorded versions of Kinks classics done with a 65-voice choir. Hoping he's not touring with all of them!

Right, though I had to look it up to figure that out.  I never saw it, but it's got an amazing cast: Matt Dillon, Dennis Hopper (in that clip), Tom Waits, Mickey Rourke...the list goes on.

Gaz! TANC: "Love is a Cattlefield"

Flank steak to flank steak, we stand!

apparently somebody actually wrote an entire parody:

Quote
We are cows, Jerseys and Holsteins, we moo
Grazing the grass, lots of poo
Love in a cattle field
There are bulls, they are so big and so strong
Hoping that they will respond
All of us having, love in a cattle field

You're sittin’ on that stool, you're milkin’ me dry
Why do you hurt my udders, it’s just making me cry
Do I make you shake, or are you making me into steak
Believe me, believe me, I don’t give a darn
But I'm trapped by the fence, and I'm kept in the barn

We are cows, Jerseys and Holsteins, we moo
Grazing the grass, lots of poo
Love in a cattle field
There are bulls, they are so big and so strong
Hoping that they will respond
All of us having, love in a cattle field

We're losing the herd
Will you just chew your cud or mount me from behind
And when I get too old, I’m put out to pasture
Just take care of our calves
I’m more than just a heifer, a special bovine
And if you just look and see, I’m not a mad cow

We are cows, Jerseys and Holsteins, we moo
Grazing the grass, lots of poo
Love in a cattle field
There are bulls, they are so big and so strong
Hoping that they will respond
All of us having, love in a cattle field
