WHOA!

i went to see Music for 18 musicians performed at the NewEnglandConservatory last night (Steve Reich is in res, he showed up at the end)
its kind of mind blowing up close and in person. they also did 6 pianos.
AND john and i met and shook hands with roger miller of mission of burma. wow.

here's the students practicing 18 musicians
">18
(interestingly there were 20 musicians onstage...maybe cause they're students)

also, peeped Margot at the Wedding, the new Noah Baumbach piece. I was very pleased with this and I don't think he's fallen off post Squid&Whale which seems to be the consensus of most of the reviews I've read. Kinda Interiors-esque, but moves quicker with more Jack Black. Noah said he was Eric Rohmer inspired and so I'ma check that bub out. Anyone seen any Rohmer? Anyone seen Margot? ANYone else out there an Interiors apologist...?

I think we should start doing lists.

I'm Not There?

Has anyone else caught this new Todd Haynes experimental Dylan-biopic?

I saw it last night. It was too long, but I enjoyed the constant Dylan-referencing-madness and there were a few brilliant moments. Malkmus singing "Ballad of a Thin Man" was a highlight. Cate Blanchett is a genius.

Next up is the new Coen brosephs' film. Anyone seen this yet?
