Cartwheels into your heart. Tuesday, February 17, 2004. In The New Yorker. I don’t listen to much classical music, but my iTunes playlist regularly careens from the Beach Boys to Aphex Twin to R. Kelly and the Muppet Movie. About a year or so ago, a few things transpired to change my mind. For one, I was already starting to feel bored with my same-old interests. Then I happened upon an online message board. Full of intelligent published music critics who unexpectedly yawned at Wilco and fawned over Jay-Z...

Cartwheels into your heart. Thursday, June 19, 2003. I saw Night of the Hunter. This week. This may be an absurd comparison (it no longer sits with me as well as it did the other day), but the film initially reminded me of Terrence Malick’s films from the 1970’s:. 1 Similarities between Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum) and Kit Carruthers (Martin Sheen in Badlands. Since even Hitchcock, five years later, felt it necessary to explain away Norman Bates at the end of Psycho. And Linda Manz in Days of Heaven.

Cartwheels into your heart. Sunday, August 24, 2003. There’s something liberating about the list format Matos uses in " 100 Things. Similarly fragmented books, but the high-culture references and overly philosophical bent of This is Not a Novel. Posted by John C. at 11:09 PM. Thursday, August 14, 2003.

Cartwheels into your heart. Friday, May 30, 2003. I’ve been working on a mini-essay about popular music’s lack of academic institutionalization, but I’ve had a hard time getting a handle on it. I think the topic is probably bigger than I’d like to make it. Thus giving more leeway for popular works to sneak into syllabi, they are much more stark with respect to music (composition or bust). Posted by John C. at 3:54 PM. Thursday, May 22, 2003. Last night, I was reading some blogs from ILM folks (mostly this.

Cartwheels into your heart. Friday, January 30, 2004. I don't want to be an elitist indie kid about this, but there's something disconcerting about the fact that half the comments on Dave Pajo's LiveJournal. But fairly low-profile post-rocker I've always known him as. I do have to say, though, that he and Paz Lenchantin make a cute couple. Posted by John C. at 11:23 PM. Monday, January 26, 2004.

Cartwheels into your heart. Wednesday, November 26, 2003. Another piece for Squeezed. Because of both length constraints and the nature of the audience, some of this may seem elementary. My two regrets: 1. That I gloss over the history of sampling pre- Paul's Boutique. Robert Rauschenberg, Retroactive II. With 17th-century engravings and actual paint smears in a busy, colorful display. In the mid-nineties, three of my favorite records were Soul Coughing's Ruby Vroom,. And Beck's Odelay,. This seems to be...

Cartwheels into your heart. Wednesday, December 31, 2003. But a few weeks ago, I happened upon Sasha Frere-Jones’s justification. For rating Liz Phair. Now, I haven’t followed SFJ’s method to the T (doesn’t it unfairly punish end-of-year releases? Note: This entry is for #10-#6. I’ll be posting #5-#1 later this week. Enjoy! 10 Schneider TM, 6 Peace EP. Okay, so it’s kind of a cop-out - half of these songs have appeared elsewhere, and the ones that haven’t are merely remixes of tracks from last year’s Zoo...

Cartwheels into your heart. Wednesday, April 30, 2003. With the former, my concern is that you’d lose sight of whatever extra-textual stuff might significantly deepen the experience (e.g., watching Far From Heaven. Posted by John C. at 5:25 PM. 1 How similar is O’Rourke’s attitude on Eureka. To Todd Haynes’ in Far From Heaven. 2 Was Nick Drake able to get away with a smooth saxophone solo on "The Chime of a City Clock" because there was no smooth-jazz radio to negatively associate it with in 1969? Is sup...

Cartwheels into your heart. Tuesday, March 23, 2004. Apologies, of course, for the blogging drought. I was on vacation in San Francisco earlier this month, enjoying the beautiful weather (70s and sunny the whole time), and only now am I feeling really settled again. Anyway. There's a scene toward the end of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Even when they're adults. As with Eternal Sunshine. Time is compressed. We see them at every age at once. Oddly enough, both Charlie Kaufman.
