Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting

+ Kat

Listening: In preparation of my theoretical new DJ gig as DJ Double Dutch: Johnny Gill, Bell Biv Devoe, Heavy D, Tony! Toni! Toné!, Al B. Sure and basically any new jack swing I can get a hold of. My imaginary DJ night would be essentially themed after a "7th Grade Dance" concept and would mix new jack swing, Miami freestyle and booty bass. Oh, and the Raveonettes, Lust Lust Lust. That's kind of booty music, no?
Watching: This is England on DVD (the movie holds up to a second viewing for sure)
Reading: The latest issues of Lula and Amelia's
Wearing: Uniqlo skinny jeans, old H&M long grey v-neck sweater, boots, shrunken leather jacket. Uniform!
Wanting: I honestly wish I had about three more extra hours in the day to do all I need to do

Listening: Alice Cooper, Love It To Death (especially "Sun Arise" - who knew Alice could be so pretty??); The Doors, Morrison Hotel; The Wipers and Urge Overkill and The Raveonettes; "Elmo Delmo" by Stephen Malkmus (perfection; get it at Fluxblog). And I'm revisiting Pre-Millennium Tension by Tricky and wishing I had another copy of it besides the cassette an ex gave me for Christmas in 1996.
Watching: Smiley Face!!! I also tried watching that Brothers and Sisters show but then I died of boredom. Then I came back to life to watch St. Elmo's Fire, in celebration of having run into Rob "We Should All Look This Good At 44" Lowe in a Starbucks in Malibu on Thursday afternoon.
Reading: the last three issues of Vogue, which for some reason all landed in my mailbox right around the same time, and Alice Hoffman's Property Of and Fortune's Daughter
Wearing: this great French Connection sweater I got used at Gotta Have It in Venice last Sunday; it's angora and charcoal and probably only the 3rd or 4th sweater I've loved in my post-Boston life.
Wanting: Lately I'm feeling this weird urge to play tennis, which I haven't done since college. I also want the It's a Grind coffee shop I'm currently sitting in to stop playing Death Cab. Oh, and if someone could hook me up with an mp3 of Liars doing "Leather Prowler" live, that would be sooo peachy-keen.

Listening: I am going to try and refrain from devoting the "Listening" portion of my weekly Snapshot exclusively for self-promotion; that being said, I would totally be lying if I failed to mention that I hadn't been listening to Ver Sacrum's killer cover of Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" ad nauseum for two days straight (YOU should too!); also, lots and lots of Lizzy Mercier Descloux and the first Nuggets boxed set- all the best music ever made compiled into four compact discs!
Watching: American Gangster, which was awesome because a lot of it was filmed on my exact old street in Bushwick, Brooklyn! One day I woke up and my entire block was decked-out to look like late-sixties Harlem: finned cars, the Dunkin' Donuts blacked out to look like an old-timey bodega, and dozens of sexy extras wearing bell-bottoms in muted tones. It was pretty much the best day of my life.
Reading: I just finished The Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov- amazing. The entire first half is written in the first-person narrative of a stray dog who lives on the streets of Moscow! And the second half is about a botched operation where he turns into a scary human/dog hybrid!
Wearing: Cheapie twenty-buck knock-offs of the $300 Tom Ford pink-lensed Whitney sunglasses I've been wanting forever; also a really beautiful silk scarf printed with a map of the south of France that I felt almost guilty about paying $2 for at Value Village. This whole super-cool upper-body look can be seen HERE.
Wanting: A record deal; FOR WINTER TO BE OVER
