Soul Shower is one of my favorite
sites-this blogger from the Soulful Midwest writes about classic R & B with passion and mad knowledge and as
though it’s as relevant now as it was in 1974, which for some of us is quite true. He also provides
downloads of cuts so choice you will not believe your ears, often taken from rich buttery vinyl. Let the analog love soothe your soul.
Wired reports on the
book Pleasurable Kingdom which
asserts that animals experience the same hedonistic urges, bacchanalian catharsis
and-I’m assuming-morning after regret as humans. Anyone who’s ever seen
this classic footage of animals
getting plastered knows that much like big pimpin' celebs
they’re just like us.
Laura Kightlinger’s merciless new show The
Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman is spot-on in its portrayal of
the madness that is life struggling to Make It in Los Angeles. It’s jogged my
memories of living there, bumming rides from friends, hustling to break into
The Biz and completely losing my mind, all while somehow still managing to have
a hell of a lot of fun. Kightlinger is appalled and amused by the pretensions of L.A. in equal parts which is really the way to go when dealing with what Joni Mitchell called the City of the Fallen Angels. I’m putting this up there as a worthy successor
to the dark, cracked worlds of both The Comeback and Arrested Development. Minor Accomplishments airs Friday at 11 p.m. on IFC and again on Sundays at
the same time.
