But I'd rather know a shover than a pusher, 'cause a pusher's a jerk.
Today has been a jazz/hip hop/classical music day, the very fringes of musical society. I was reading Pitchfork earlier and found a post about MF Doom, who now wishes to be known simply as "DOOM" (ALL CAPS!). He's releasing another album soon also, named Born Like This, but rather than simply reiterate an article I've read, here's a linky:

I think I might actually try and get hold of this one and then work my way back through his discography. I love Dangerdoom but it's the only work by DOOM that I've listened to extensively; apart from a couple of tracks of MM...Food. As far as modern, intelligent hip hop goes, he's pretty hard to beat.
Anyway, before I completely alienate the one or two people who read this by going on about hip hop, I reorganised my LoveFilm rental list last night, but it was a bit of a struggle. Recently I seem to have really lost interest in film, pretty much since I stopped studying it, so it was hard to think of anything I wanted to see... I added a few Jimmy Stewart flicks, having watched Harvey recently, which was awesome. In fact, I'll see if I can find a clip... yep, here we go:
Jimmy plays this drunkass who is friends with an imaginary 6 foot 3 white rabbit. It's pretty funny and heartwarming.
As well as stocking up on Jimmy Stewart (the next film we have coming is It's A Wonderful Life, which neither of us have seen), I ditched a lot of arthouse films which I don't really have the energy or patience for right now, like Last Year at Marienbad.
So leave a comment if you have any good film suggestions; we tend to avoid modern mainstream films, but aren't adverse to pre-sixties Hollywood classics, Noir films, murder mysteries and the like...
Cheerio!
