Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting

++ Kat

Listening: "Indian Summer" by the Doors (yes, I know, but it's such a lovely song); "Forest on Fire" by Tiny Vipers; "Road to Axum" by Roots Tonic; Belief, Nitzer Ebb
Watching: 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days (remarkable and harrowing, should have been the best film of 2007 but it's being released now); the Agnes Martin show at Peter Blum Gallery, Soho (amaaaaaazing); various episodes of "Spongebob Squarepants"
Reading: Still reading Carl Jung's Memories, Dreams, Reflections; the February issue of Vogue (I'm so behind)
Wearing: J Brand skinny jeans, black faux-Balenciaga boots by Miss Sixty, a long black t-shirt from Old Navy, black leather Kate Moss for Topshop jacket - I'm happy to be enjoying cold-weather clothes again!
Wanting: I want someone to fly me to SXSW, too! Also, if anyone has hotel recommendations for Lisbon, I'd love to hear them.

Listening: Sam Cooke, "Cupid" (live!); Stephen Malkmus covering "Ballad of a Thin Man" (surprisingly inoffensive!); The Carpenters, "Rainy Days and Mondays"; Little Richard, "Lucille"; Steve Miller Band, "Jet Airliner"; Fiona Apple, Extraordinary Machine; Neil Diamond, "Solitary Man" (and Johnny Cash's cover of it); Jimi Hendrix's blues version of "Voodoo Chile"; The Mae Shi, "I Get Almost Everything" (I feel like I'd been waiting to get my hands on this song for a thousand years, or at least since I first heard it live a year or so ago, and now there's an mp3 here and I'm just pleased as punch). And I can't stop listening to "Levon" by Elton John, as it's probably the most fantastically emotionally manipulative song I've heard in forevs.
Watching: Fast Times at Ridgemont High; Factory Girl; Ghost World
Reading: I will probably never finish Shakey. I also got the new Zoetrope: All Story, which has the screenplay for Hotel Chevalier and lots of great Bob Dylan-related art.
Wearing: I went to Buffalo Exchange for the first time in a long while on Saturday and ended up with this real pretty t-shirt that's peachy-orange and got some weird scene involving magic mushrooms and swans (in hot-pink and cornflower-blue). So I'm wearing that a lot.
Wanting: for someone to pay for my plane ticket to SXSW, or least for JetBlue to start flying from L.A. to Austin so I can use the JetBlue gift card I got for my birthday! And: a copy of the very out-of-print Cry of Love by Jimi Hendrix.

++ Laura

Listening: Side C of The White Album
Watching: The new episode of Lost and the first five seconds of the Penny Lane video when John Lennon is walking down the street looking sort of depressed and schoolmarmish but impossibly cool nevertheless.
Reading: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, which is serene, pale, graceful and written with such incredible skill that I find myself thinking thoughts like "Can you just write one awkward sentence PLEASE?" as I'm reading it.
Wearing: My New York Knicks t-shirt; my New York Mets t-shirt; my Chicago Cubs t-shirt
Wanting: For stupid Punxsutawney Phil to have not seen his shadow that winter can conclude sooner rather than later and for the barometric pressure in the air to chill out so that my five-day migraine will finally dissipate and I can cease to write such uninspired Snapshots?

Tiny Vipers and Jimi:

"Penny Lane":
