i just looked at my most recent blogs(ugh, gross word), and i realized that i’ve skewed kind of heavy on the political blogs(ugh, disgusting word)as of late.
mea culpa, sorry.
so, a list update(nicer word than blog)-
a-i, like many people, am really worried about what’s going to happen when hurricane dean hits mexico. it has the potential to be disastrous.
i hope that it isn’t.
b-we just began mixing my next record. here’s hoping it goes well. right now the record is scheduled to be released in february of next year. and it’s a dance record. well, my idea of a dance record. an eclectic dance record. kind of like being in a club in nyc in 1989…
c-it’s cold and rainy in nyc and it’s fantastic. a few days ago nyc was like caracas, now it’s like glasgow. i love schizophrenic weather.
d-today as i was walking around the lower east side it struck me just how odd it is that gentrification has spread so far and wide in lower manhattan.
i mean, even the bowery is being gentrified. the bowery was always the street of last resort, where people went to hit rock bottom. it’s where the homeless shelters were, and the lowest of the dive bars(and cbgb’s…), and now there are giant fancy buildings sprouting up everywhere. it’s not as if the gentrification has been a slow, steady process. it’s more like spores. one day you’re looking at a methadone clinic, a couple of weeks later it’s a 30 story boutique hotel with calvin klein living in the penthouse. very odd.
e-i finally went to see the new bourne movie. it’s really fun. and the new version of ‘extreme ways’ does sound pretty good at the end, if i do narcissistically say so myself…
f-i’m not sure why the new ‘extreme ways’ isn’t available as a stand alone song on i-tunes.
i’ll try to find out.
g-i think that richard kelly’s ‘southland tales’ is finally being released this autumn. here’s hoping.
it’s a really odd and remarkable movie.
ok, that’s my list for now.
have a good night,
moby
