Blah Blah Blah (Slight Return)

Here's a little posting - a random list:

1. Last dvd I watched - Clerks: The Animated Series (with commentary track). Wasn't the greatest show ever, but shouldn't have been canceled so soon. Ah, cancelation - the mark of quality tv.

2. Last record I listened to - Horses by Patti Smith - pretty good. A little warbly in points, but very, very powerful. I downloaded it on Real Rhapsody (I gave in to temptation and downloaded the free 30-day trial). Other stuff I downloaded includes Beach Boys Love You, Wowee Zowee by Pavement, "Needle in the Camel's Eye" by Brian Eno, "Crying" by Roy Orbison.

3. Last bookI read - Lost in the Funhouse Bill Zehme's Andy Kaufman biography. A very interesting book. Much more illuminating than the disappointing Man on the Moon biopic that came out in '99. The movie postulated there was no "real" Andy Kaufman; the book shows that the real Andy Kaufman was a lonely little boy who disappeared into fantasy and decided to stay there.
