Aimee sez: “cause it’s rare that you ever know what to expect from a guy made of corpses with a bolts in his neck…”
She’s talking about Frankenstein, by the way. Not some ex-boyfriend. At least, i don’t think so…
oh dear god… sara lee is opening for ani in phillY!!! Now i’m really pissed that i don’t have tickets… i’m calling the agency. I don’t particularly care if they’re glorified scalpers at this point, they got me 2nd row seats last year and they can do it again…
I might add that the use of Aimee Mann’s music in Magnolia was spectacular. “One,” “Save Me,” and especially “Wise Up.” While it was an incongruous break in the film, it also served to show the similarities in each of the characters while setting a perfect mood across all of the various storylines. That and the frogs were two of my favourite points in the movie, by far.
some comments on that last bit: My favourite songs tend to reflect my favourite albums of the moment, but as you can see there are a few departures from that list. The new Elastica album is wonderful, but it has only made me lust after the 1:33 of perfection that is “All-Nighter” even more. The split entries represent songs that i usually listen to in pairs on the albums they come from. On Nina Gordon’s album, the two are really the only ones i like, but on Tracy Bonham’s and Weezer’s they’re barely better than the rest. The Pretenders are on the list just because “Back on the Chain Gang” melts my whole world. As for Ani, “Swing” is from her new EP and her last LP, “Itch” is from Not So Soft (which i recently gushed about), and the live “Firedoor” (featuring an awesome segue into “Rapper’s Delight”) is from a 1999 radio show from Stockholm.
