Moving on, I failed to qualify for my Scuba Diving which mightily sucks, especially since the reason was that I had a bloody cold which stopped me from diving on the second day. And that leads me neatly onto the next item on my blogging checklist, which is to pimp Trocadero, a very cool band who have just released their debut album Roses are Red, Violets are Blue. Don’t let the rather trite name put you off, just take my high musical taste and buy it.

You drive through the difficult parts of life, a sort of cheerful determination on your face, because not only are you still happy, you’re ready to fix whatever inconveniences this event may have caused. You drive your own life with expectations that although are a bit high for my taste, you seem to be doing fine with–you have an amazing sense of self, and a knowledge of who you are and who you can be that I have never seen before. You are gorgeous, hilarious, gentle, tall, healthy, in all meanings of the word, silly, girly, playful, magnificently creative, indulgrently fashionable, real, intelligent, and a compassionate maternal figure to anyone who needs it.

Johnny Dowd’s new album Cemetery Shoes is due out October 5 on Bongo Beat Records. Dowd completists will undoubtedly already own a copy as it was released earlier this year in Europe on the Munich label. Johnny is also slated to do a US tour in November and December with Sally Timms of Mekons fame. Specific dates haven’t been announced yet.
The Handsome Family is also hitting the road again in late October. They’re heading to California, into the northwest and then zipping back across the country to the east coast, stopping in places like Minneapolis and Chicago en route.
Speaking of the Handsome Family, they appear in the recent film Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus along with such notables as Harry Crews, Jim White, and 16 Horsepower.
Just caught director Rory Kennedy’s documentary A Boy’s Life which is currently showing on HBO. The film deals with the custody battle over a seven year old boy with mental problems in the small Mississippi town of Eupora. One of the greatest lines in the history of southern cinema is delivered in this film when one of the main characters says something along the lines of Im gonna lose weight, get me some teeth, go back to school, and Im a gonna be somebody. I don’t know if this film will change your thinking about the mental health system or child custody issues, but it does provide a rare glimpse into the day to day life of rural Mississippians in the early 21st century. Kennedy’s earlier work includes the documentary American Hollow, which also resulted in a book of photographs by the same name.
Steven Spielberg’s first film Sugarland Express, was just released on DVD. The film lightheartedly deals with the true story of Illa Faye Dent who helped her husband Robert Samuel Dent escape from a Texas correctional facility (when he had just a few months left to serve) so that they could get their baby back from a foster family in Sugarland, Texas. The couple kidnapped a Texas state trooper and led law enforcement officials on a several hundred mile chase across Texas. Spielberg’s first outing is definitely no Vanishing Point or Two Lane Blacktop, but it’s not a bad little film that might make a good double feature with something like Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry.
From the backwaters of Idaho comes director Jared Hess’ Napoleon Dynamite, based on his earlier short, Peluca, which is slated to appear as an extra feature when this film is released on DVD. On the surface this film is a typical high school comedy with will he or wont he get the girl” being the basic thread in the plot. What Hess, along with co-writer/wife Jerusha Hess, has given us, though, is a much more intelligent film than that. Kooky sub-plots abound, but none of them are hammered into the ground like in many juvenile comedies. Knowing when to quit is one of the key elements in making an intelligent comedy and the Hesses do know when a gag has been spent and they wisely move on to the next thing. Many of the incidents in the film were based on events from the writers real lives. Extra points for filming the film locally in southeastern Idaho and using locals as extras.
London, Kentucky, is holding its annual World Chicken Festival again this year from September 23 to 26. But, sadly, Jerry Chicken Man Isaacs doesnt seem to scheduled to perform as he has in previous years. The story is that Jerry, a local bluegrass singer known for his very animated rendition of the tune “Red Hen Boogie”, is so good at imitating a chicken that hes been banned from participating in the chicken clucking contest since he obliterated the competition every year.

The way I hold my pen when I write I have a weird way of holding my pen (why not the rest been holding the pen in the wrong way, I am the all true guru in pen holding bhahaa) But I wan to change coz the way im holding is causing my fourth finger or so called ring finger getting mutated, so ugly when I shake my hands will continue again next time coz got thai homework not done and programming code not finish and by the way super don like appaluse sia!!!
