And while I’m on about music and recordings and the like, the March ’07 US-released Amy Winehouse record Back to Black is epic. I can’t get it out of my mind. Interestingly, the replay quotient is up there with Neko Case’s second and third records, also audio explorations of heartache.
Scott
Viv and I spent a happy hour on Sunday visting with old homey Scott Colburn and his lovely wife Jaye in their Ballard recording studio. Scott’s talking about getting back into making movies, and laid a copy of his latest side project, Wizard Prison on me. It seems the imprisoned wizards may attempt a jailbreak at a Lake Union arts facility within the month. Word to the wise, you see.
Scoop!
I’m excited! SIFFBlog has a scoop, regarding the launch of a new annual Noir City: Seattle festival at midsummer!
Last year, E. Steven Fried published what I think remains the most extensive interview with Seattle’s own James Longley regarding his Oscar-nommed Iraq in Fragments. This year, we’re just getting warmed up!
FAST
FastCGI installed! There is a noticeable speed bump. I did see a server-misconfig error thrown a moment ago on some pagebuild subroutine, though. Hm.
UPDATE: look at that, it happened again. Looks like the entries are getting written out, at least. Odd. Also it appears that editing the entry generated a double post.
