in the past week (and in one case today) Gillian Welch (The Harrow & The Harvest) and Jolie Holland (Pint of Blood) have released long overdue albums (though Gillian's library fine would definitely be larger than Jolie's).
and while I have no subject relevant, cobweb-covered prose to offer, I can tell you that the last book I ever read was Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN (give it four out of five stars, though Amazon readers trend lower, apparently because their expectations were greater than the book delivered, which doesn't seem to be the book's fault), the last movie I ever saw in a theater was Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris (the New York Times offers a cheat sheet) which, while containing a certain charm (give it three stars out of five), falls far short of even other potentially one-note mid-career work like Zelig and the last movie I ever saw on DVD was The Matrix (yes, I'm saying that I'd never seen The Matrix until this past weekend) which was horrible on so many levels I feel like I'm not in on the joke.
good night, Cleveland!
