Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Etc.

+ Kat

Listening: Dead Meadow, Old Growth; the Jesus and Mary Chain, Darklands; and of course testing out our fancy new jukebox!
Watching: Hairspray. Dudes, I just watched an amazing but harrowing movie about abortion in 1980s Romania (4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days). I need a serious antidote. Oh! And I saw U2 3D, which was wickedly awesome. Go, wear the crazy glasses and be kind of amazed by the whole thing!
Reading: I'm still reading that Carl Jung book; it's taking me foreverrrrrrrrrrr, it's seriously dense.
Wearing: A grey Martin Margiela tunic thrown over leggings, my tan suede Frye boots, a long grey cardigan. It's called a uniform, you know?
Wanting: Someone to knock my block off and make me finish my thesis script rough draft.

Listening: VER SACRUM!!!. Also: Patti Smith, Radio Ethiopia; "Gone Gone Gone" by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (I feel like I'm probably supposed to feel weird about loving this, but I don't - I think it's grand); R. Dean Taylor, "There's A Ghost in My House" (recently discovered via Jonesy's Jukebox; I never knew The Fall's version was a cover); The Frogs, "I Don't Care If You Disrespect Me, Just So You Love Me"; Bob Dylan & Neil Young, "Helpless" segued into "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," live in 1975; KISS, "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" (when they make the movie about my life I want this to play during the closing credits, and I want it to be the kind of closing credits where they replay flashes of the movie along with the cast credits, like in Top Gun)
Watching: Billy the Kid (and you should watch too; here's the trailer); Come Early Morning; The Last Waltz; Hearts of Darkness.
Reading: primary coverage and not much else; my brain hurts from working too much
Wearing: all sleeveless, all the time: L.A. = 80 degrees every day! But the most important thing I'm "wearing" right now is my hair down and unstraightened, troublesome curls everywhere. It's a maddening but ulimately fulfilling, possibly Pam Beesley-inspired experiment and all about self-acceptance, or something.
Wanting: dinner at Pace in Laurel Canyon, plus a house in Laurel Canyon. And lots of more flowy hippie tops like the silk/macrame one I'm currently in danger of wearing to death.

Listening: Toughen Up by the Arrows ad nauseum- check out the video below if you like seriously strutty, sexy rock-n-roll swagger (muchos gracias to my pal Mandy of sweetie-pie-pop duo Garbo's Daughter- totally my fave new band of '08!- for turning me onto this record)
Watching: The Odd Couple (Team Felix!!); Mo Rocca 180; am currently averaging about four episodes of Season One of Veronica Mars per night.
Reading: Fat is a Feminist Issue by Susie Orbach- I recommend that every girl/woman/man too/whoever in the world read this book. The tragedy of it all is that this book was written in 1978, yet all of its core themes (the epidemic of self-hate/body image issues/eating disorders in women) are still entirely relevant. I also read The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden, which is hella sweet, though not necessarily imperative for all of humanity to read this second.
Wearing: Oh, just t-shirts.
Wanting: I'd take just about anything from Rodarte, Matthew Williamson, Louise Goldin or Christopher Kane's Fall/Winter 2009 collections (also the thick halo-style headbands from Marc Jacobs); Cloud B's Lavender Lab, a plush yellow-lab puppy that is scented with lavender aromatherapy to help you fall asleep! Talk about fashion meets function!
