Am currently listening to the new disc from the Pink Spiders, called Teenage Graffiti, a riotous tongue-in-cheek glam punk affair - sort of like a Los Angeles version of the Strokes with a studied historical pose, that looks and sounds good. You almost forget they're posing. Think Darby Crash goes New Wave.
Also got a hold of the new Nomeansno, All Roads Lead to Ausfarht. Not sure yet, it took eight or nine songs in to find some interesting work in "Mondo Nihilissimo 2000". I mean, it's still typically challenging and adventuresome, but maybe the guys need to re-establish contact with the world.
Currently reading The Long Tail by Wired's Chris Anderson, about how on-line virtual warehousing is changing the face of marketing. We'll revisit this in a few days.
Started watching Ong-bak today, a Thai film about a local village hero who goes in search of the village talisman. Of course, this involves a trip to the nearby metropolis and much much fighting. I am watching this primarily because the production team is working with Luc Besson on District B13 a film I feel oddly interested in. Sometimes you just can't look away.
