Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Etc.

+ Kat

Listening: So much random! Black Sabbath's Master of Reality and Vol. 4 and Paranoid (on a bit of a Sabbath kick lately), older Blonde Redhead, a bunch of King Tubby, Guns 'N Roses' Appetite for Destruction, Neil Young's On the Beach (see, true love never dies), Satisfact, Justin Timberlake, Abbey Lincoln...MUXTAPES. ALL OF THEM!
Watching: My bank account deplete itself after doing my taxes
Reading: Laura talked up Motherless Brooklyn awhile back, so I picked that up and am enjoying it heartily.
Wearing: I am wearing a boy's grey and white striped oxford shirt and Kate Moss Topshop flared leg jeans with platform sandals and an army green parka.
Wanting: I'm praying that air travel won't be so crazy when I go to London and Lisbon next week

+ Liz

Listening: No Age's cover of "It's Oh So Quiet" by Bjork (download at their MySpace); Kat's muxtape, Kritty's muxtape, Teri's muxtape, Erin Sodafine's muxtape, my own muxtape; The Lemonheads, Car Button Cloth; new Breeders stuff; DJ Shadow, "Walkie Talkie"; the GTOs
Watching: DiG! (not quite what I was hoping for, but still great - and now I have a crush on Joel Gion and it feels so weird); The Hills and Rock of Love (usually I don't take much pleasure in trash TV, but these two are all I really want right now). And Wednesday night I went to see a work-in-progress documentary about the Red Hot Chili Peppers, which fully confirmed my suspicions that they are the most endearing, adorable, fun-hearted, fuzzy-hearted, magically delicious, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious band in all the world. And now I keep watching the "Tell Me, Baby" video over and over (cuz the movie goes into how no one in the video knew the band would be there until they actually ran into the room, so the psychedness at the second verse is all very genuine - so cute! I got teary-eyed).
Reading: rereading Eat Pray Love; the Elle with Madonna on the cover
Wearing: Cleaning out my closet last weekend, I found this kelly-green suede jacket I'd totally forgotten about. It's got green fake fur along the collar and cuffs and makes me feel very funk, which is a good way for me to feel at the moment.
Wanting: to find out where the hell all my Pavement CDs went! Seriously, did someone break into my house and go, "I'm here only for the Pavement," and then make off with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Slanted and Enchanted and every other record I really want to hear right now?

+ Laura

Listening: The Friedberger madness continues! Also: Paul McCartney's RAM; "Atlantis" by Donovan; "Would You Believe" by the Hollies, which is either the most pathetic or the most beautiful love song ever writ. Probably both.
Watching: I finally watched Young Frankenstein last night: I've been hell-bent on seeing it since purchasing the Built By Wendy Gene & Gilda hoody, which I wear with alarming regularity, but every time I go to rent it, I look down and notice I have Professor Fronkensteen's face emblazoned on my chest and chicken out. Oh yeah, and that U2 3D concert iMax thing. The 3D glasses were so Enid Coleslaw.
Reading: Still X-Ray- I'm, like, seven months away from Village Green and am DYING in anticipation.
Wearing: This amazing t-shirt I bought off the street by Union Square with the cover of John & Yoko's Sometime in New York City on it: not only do I get to promote John & Yoko, but I also get to shout out Elephant's Memory and Angela Davis! Life is good.
Wanting: For Lifethyme Natural Market to open up branches in every city I reside in for the rest of my life so that I can subsist entirely on vegan raspberry tollbooth cookies & banana cream bars until the day that I die (of malnutrition).

"Tell Me, Baby" by Red Hot Chili Peppers:

This is the "original" video for Black Sabbath's "Paranoid," from 1971:
