Better Than Friday - 210

Salutations everyone -

I've got a thousand-yard stare from walking around Ikea.

Does anybody else get panic attacks in that place?

Hope you have a great weekend, review of 'The Moviegoer' coming soon.

Have a terrific weekend and read something damn good if you can.

1. Shakespeare I'm overdue to read: Macbeth

I'm not able to get to it this Halloween season, but maybe you can.

Recently gifted to me by a kind friend and poet, David Polk.

2. T.R.A.N.S.I.T by Piet Kroon

An animated 1920's animation style noir with no dialogue.

I saw this in the theater, at Cinema 21 in Portland at an animation festival when I was a kid and the visuals have stuck with me for my entire life.

One of the most spectacular animated films I've ever seen.

3. Flamingos: A Marvelous bird

My wife informed me that flamingos were blown into our area due to Idalia, a rarity for Tampa Bay. She's been educating me on them and provided the video and trivia below.

Do you know what they call a group of Flamingos?

A Flamboyance.

4. Bret Easton Ellis' The Shards is going to be a series directed by Luca Guadanigno

Fingers crossed. Review of the book coming soon.

5. This is great but I can barely listen to it. 

For Fans of Sonic Youth...My Dad is Dead

Wait for it to kick in at 0:55

An obscure postpunk project from late 80's Cleveland Ohio.

Extremely depressing (think Giles Corey/Have a Nice Life level).

Remarkably fresh sounding.
