nova.
within black walls, little things always tend to buzz.
dj jester is a nice guy. its weird when you find out someone actually reads your work. and likes it.
very odd.
SXSW was peculiar and fun. saw Clearlake give a solid in-store performance as their lead singer (a thom yorke-looking dude) sounded like chris martin of coldplay. this kid and his mates have a future, i tell you.
beer, Can's tago mago and scholarly amounts of foosball later i see TV on the Radio for a split second at this snooty wankfest. i see Slug of Atmosphere roam in. he was wearing a Charlie Chaplin hat. as im walking in, Murs is walking out. i say hello as does he.
4 dollar tecates do not go hard in the paint. saw Ozomatli and nostalgia-inducing mexican rock dudes, Plastilina Mosh give a great show. thumbs down to Ozo getting arrested. i saw that one and its a tragedy that should enfuriate people in to becoming more cautious of their local police's power.
on a lighter note, i finished Langston Hughes' autbiography, The Big Sea. a wonderful read, very educational and funny at times. also an easy one to read. he was a very, very clear writer. Joyce and Pynchon could have learned a thing or two from Hughes. now, im trying to finish 'the brothers karamazov'. something i should have done last semester. being a literature major is still gangsta.
books someone needs to read:
samuel r. delany's babel-17
saul bellow's herzog
reinaldo arenas' singing from the well
chris abani's graceland
carlos fuentes' la muerte de artemio cruz
