Last night we can't reach our friend with whom we'd had plans to see Brokeback Mountain. So it's cold; so it's raining; so we're tired. So we go out around the corner and rent Alex van Warmerdam's Grimm, which we like fine. Skinny Ian at the video store told us he and his girlfriend, as Sweet Nothing, are down to L.A. the week after next, of a sudden, to record an album. For a label I can't remember. Actually, I think I do remember, I remember good; but I can't find the label here on the web, so the snazzy link that would have been laid here somewhere isn't.
