Are You a Square?
Krucoff's granted me permission to post on YM--I think it's some affirmative action initiative. He might rescind the offer after reading this, because I know I should be writing about things like my charitable works* and stuff like this, but I'd rather just drag out my fave hoary old chestnut (aka: I Hate the Kids) and feed it to this dead horse what I found over here.
The other day I went to see This Is England and there was a preview for a movie called Hannah Does Her Sisters. Apparently it's a part of a new movement called mumblecore? This is my favorite quote from the NYT article:
I should shut up about this because I'm probably unwittingly insulting people I know. (Alternately, maybe I'm finally grasping the raison d'etre around here.)
Onward Christian soldiers: This morning I discovered that Radar hates my alma mater (err...one of them; unlike Bush and your dad I know when to pull out). (And where did you jackasses go, might I ask?) I'm loath to disagree, because it was, in reality, the worst trip I've ever been on, but I'm disturbed by a few of their critiques. First of all, they're bitching about the paucity of minorities? We would've killed for ten whole black people. That's 600% more than when I was there. Second: Hippies? Are you fucking kidding me? When did this happen? All I remember is nihilists, whores and catamites. If you brought someone up on rape charges we'd read about it in next day's gossip column--with details. When fIREHOSE played we scared Mike Watt. (Also: you could smoke in the library.)
Eh. Enough bitching. I'm ready to take the war off the floor. This would be the point at which I'd post the Angry Samoans or "Instant Club Hit (You'll Dance to Anything)" by the Dead Milkmen but I only own those tracks on vinyl, kid.**
*By the way, my personal nonprofit hobbyhorse is Stop Prisoner Rape, and save me the "give 'til it hurts" quips.
**I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody .... I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables .... I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars...

Mr. Swanberg, 25, is the most prolific and the most committed to improvisation .... in a notorious scene in “Kissing on the Mouth,” he actually masturbates on camera.Can someone please clarify which scenes don't include on-camera masturbation? Pop quiz: What is the difference between indie nudity and blockbuster nudity? Answer: Moles.
