Music, movies and stuff

Blonde Redhead’s new album 23 is out April 10. Pre-order it on iTunes and get the bonus track Signs on the Path. I guess, Lo, in between walking their dog in Tompkins Square Park and buying sushi at Dean & Deluca they were makin a new album.

I recommend seeing Bong Joon-ho’s The Host. I’ve wanted to see it since the January cover of Artforum. It’s playing at Sunshine, which means it will probably play there until summer. According to Gawker Stalker, Lou Reed didn’t like the movie (“what the fuck was that?”). My only complaint about it was the last scene—I won’t ruin the ending—with its Street Fighter fireballs-esque not-so-special effects. I could probably make better fire with Prismacolors. My coworker, who is Korean, recommends Bong Joon-ho’s earlier film, Memories of Murder. Apparently it is scarier, less funny. Netflix has it. When I finish all four seasons of Felicity I will add it to my queue.

Lauren Ambrose is in a new movie, Diggers—and, like, five other ones, four of which are in post-production. Diggers is another coming-of-age movie about guy friends growing up in Long Island as clam diggers.

In other news, Annie’s Naturals Lemon & Chive Dressing is gross. Continental Airlines’ lemon dressing is more delicious.
