As ambivalent as I am about Dove’s so called Campaign for Real Beauty (they still sell “anti-aging” cream along with the rest of them, so I guess real beauty only counts when it’s young and wrinkle-free), I like this new ad.

Allie and I saw Joanna Newsom the other night. She has some crazy good new songs that go on forever. But this one’s still my favorite.

I won something.

I don’t know what it is yet, but I get to fly to Chicago and everything just to find out.

And some other radio producers have won something too. There are sound clips of their pieces (and mine) up here.

So far, my favorite is Rhapsody in Bohemia. I think you can guess what that one’s about.

I am very excited about this.

i’m sorry i always called you a creep on the internet.
you were also a sweetie pie.

If you happen to be in town this weekend, the Montreal World Film Festival is showcasing a bunch of coms work. Like Cinema L’Amour, for instance, which screens August 26th at 5pm at the NFB theatre downtown. I hear the sound design is really sexy.

On July 9th of last summer, Pete and I took off for Armenia and began shooting pilgrIMAGE. Thirteen months, 8000 dollars and more than a few slack offs later we logged our first tape. But on the bright side, it’s not like there’s some national broadcasting company expecting it to be on TV in less than three weeks.

Oh wait… There is.

Cinema du Parc is closing in three weeks! Apparently, the dollar cinema was more competition than they could handle. (Remember when it was 2,50$ for members and all they played was Atlantis and Throne of Blood and Harold & Maude?) In any case, they won’t be validating membership cards after August 3rd so we’d all better get cracking and check some of their final screenings out. They’ve got Michael Winterbottom’slatest “Road to Guantanamo” and Feuerzig’s psycho-doc “The Devil and Daniel Johnston”. Their last week of programming is kind of a “best of parc” which seems like it will be fun, too.
