What a fantastic day!
I got up and showered an hour earlier than I intended to, so I climbed back into bed and listened to the Kinks before the Titus Kaphar lecture (which was amazing.) He rejected the common talking head-style lecture format and instead opted for a discussion based panel format that was very casual and intimate. What a great guy. He was full of really great quotes, too:
"Every five years or so people claim that painting is dead. If painting is dead, then I've got to be the guy to do the autopsy."
So he and his work were wonderful. After Ideation, I went to the Electric Fetus with Maddie and Amalia and bought the NEW BREEDERS ALBUM, MOUNTAIN BATTLES. It's more explorative genre-wise than other Breeders albums, but retains all the rockin' weirdness that I adore. It's superb.
Then there was the Peter Hutton screening at 6:30. His new film is 60 minutes of silent imagery of container ships being built, traveling, and being dismantled by hand. His shots looked like Edward Burtynsky photographs come to life. It was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long while.
Also, it's Diana's birthday and we went to Jasmine 26 with four tables' worth of people. Lemongrass chicken, coconut cream cheese puffs, free pan-fried tofu and sweet potato with condensed milk for dessert.
I love my life.
...yours, too.

Phuuuuuuuck!
Maaan.
The Boredoms are coming on the 25th, and I leave on the damn 23rd.
Fuck me.
They're one band I've always wanted to see, and I've been totally psyched about this upcoming show.
Also, I thought they were coming on the 16th.
Wrong.
Ugh. This sucks.
...
But, the NEW BREEDERS ALBUM IS COMING OUT IN APRIL.
NEW BREEDERS ALBUM!
It's called Mountain Battles, and it haunts my sleep.
I sincerely recommend that you listen to the new single, "Bang On" here:

I can't handle it.
The Breeders have been one of my most favorite bands for many years and their output is so sporadic that any trace of activity sends me into a frenzy. This is overload. I'm getting panicky/anxious over this new album.
And they're touring! Hugely!
I think i might have to travel if I'm going to catch them because they're in my old home when i'm in my current home, and later, vice versa. I don't mind.
They were my first real concert, and I'll love them forever.
Also, look how vaguely Joel-Peter Witkin-esque this photo is:
