Heads up to my Lips fans!

I know a few of you who check this blog from time to time are Flaming Lips fans like myself. I just found out about this new movie that premiered this week called The Heart is Drum Machine. It's from the makers of the terrific documentary Moog. This new film is a creative exercise in which all sorts of musicians and artists were interviewed about their feelings and interpretations of music. It's a broad canvas, but there's certainly potential. The Flaming Lips give interviews, but even better is the news that Steve Drozd composed the film score.
Also making an appearance in the film is Fairuza Balk. How incredible, Fairuza Balk and The Flaming Lips in one film! It doesn't get much better than that.

Thilled!

I am overwhelmed with pure joy!

My friend at PunchBuggyBlues is the luckiest guy and is at the New York Comic Con right at this very moment. He did a huge massive favor for me and has secured two very limited NYCC exclusive Kathie Olivas babies for me. One is a cute little Scavenger named Beaumont, the other is a very rare limited Two-Faced Hazel edition (the Asia edition is on pre-order and I'm waiting on her, I'll have twin sisters!). I cannot believe my luck!

Thank you, Michael! You freakin' rock!

Also, I have found a new obsession in the form of Doktor A. His steampunk Mechtorian babies are breaking my heart with their cuteness.

Cute x 3

Oh boy! From the directors of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Pola X, and The Host comes a trilogy of tales about...

TOKYO!

This looks very cute. This goes straight to the top of my list!

Happy days

I want to wish my beloved Kim a big happy birthday! I'm terrible about cards and such, but I can give her a big blog kiss! Happy Birthday and many happy returns!

Random notes:

The new Franz Ferdinand album, Tonight, is excellent. It's sticky hot Scottish disco and I love it. It's better than the last one. Of course, it's been about 4 yrs since their last full-length so they would have no excuse for mediocrity. No worries, it's top notch.

Kevin Smith's latest Zack and Miri Make a Porno was released on DVD this week. It's fantastic, the funniest movie I've seen in ages and ages. If you get it, be sure to watch the special features, particularly the outtakes.

Only one more day until...

Two more days...

Only two more days of waiting left, my friends!
Here's an article with Mr. Gaiman. His date for the premiere was none other than my favorite actress, Fairuza Balk. Seems a bit odd, but lovely nonetheless. The full article is here.

Shopping Shout Out

Many of you are familiar with the glorious Etsy.com, a site specializing in facilitating the sale of handmade and vintage goods. Several of my talented, crafty friends are now selling their wares on Etsy. In fact, I'm going to start an Etsy links section on my sidebar. I'll get around to adding that soon enough, but in the meantime I must present my lovely sister-in-law's brand new Etsy store, Wear It Out Vintage! My sister-in-law is a very groovy lady who has spent the good part of a decade or more obsessively collecting vintage and retro clothing, accessories and housewares. She's finally started sharing the love by selling off some of her collection. She's got a great eye for spying kitschy cool stuff that's in good condition. She just started uploading a few items with many more to come.
