If you'd like your soul and heart and mind twisted and turned over and over until you are simultaneously so drained and sad yet relieved, see Synecdoche, New York. A cathartic experience. Playing only until Wednesday in SF, at the Roxie Theater, in the Mission.

Walkmen / Beach House Show in SF!
Last night, on President Obama's first full day in office, I saw The Walkmen and Beach House play the Fillmore. Man it was great! Of the two The Walkmen really rocked-- I say Beach House sounds just as amazing digitally as live, but I'm still definitely open to them.
And it's great being in a city where almost every time a band is on stage they say something like, "This is our favorite place to play," or "We love this city," and mean it.
Hell yes. Rock on. I'd see either of the bands again.
*The Walkmen above. I didn't take this picture but it's quite studly eh?

The Wrestler
Just got back from seeing The Wrestler. Though enjoyable to watch because of the intimate follow style of filming / storytelling, I give it an eh.
I hadn't seen any previews but had heard some buzz and for some reason it sounded interesting to me. Though I really don't like wrestling or violence in movies. I guess I thought it would be an interesting character sketch.
Here's what it made me think about- which I already knew before- focus on self can equal loss of human connection
Welcome to 2009!
About to start doing a lot more blogging. I guess it took me 13 days in to say that, but now I'm ready.
mmmmmmmaahhh.
