Need I say more? Not as fun watching this shit at home on DVD - if you haven't seen this, you're not alive yet.
Find your local urban cinema if they still screen it, and go get your cherry popped. someday, I swear, I'll do a RHPS tour and open up for the movie, then spend the rest of the night throwing toast.
Do not watch this movie unless you are prepared to be very upset for a few days.
Incredible film making, beautiful music, a heartbreaking story and commentary about the death penalty...and Björk. How can you resist?
Zoë Keating & I were both devouring this book on the last tour. In a very Bill Bryson-y way, Pollan does this genius thing where he takes information that might otherwise bore you to death (how the corn industry works, eh??) and makes it fucking FASCINATING. Basically, Pollan set out to trace four meals (one from McDonald's, one from Whole Foods, one from an organic farm and one he creates by hunting and forraging) back to their origins. This book is made of win, I didn't want it to end.
I would recommend this book to anyone who interested in mindfulness and meditation (the idea, not the bullshit ritual) and doesn't want to read a bunch of woowoo new age or Buddhist books. Tolle is a great teacher and a great writer, he cuts to the essence of what Buddhism points to: the only way to escape suffering is to wake up to this moment. I've bought over 15 copies of this book and given them away in the past year since reading it.
I love much of PJ's work but this album is my favorite. I recently re-discovered it and it's even more fucking awesome than I remember.
All of her stuff is different: if you've tried dry or "Rid of Me" and it's too heavy for you, or if you're tried the newer stuff and it's too minimal/weird for you, try THIS. The production, the songwriting, the vocals, all of it are PJ at her fucking best. The woman is a Goddess.
There were no formerly heroic times, and there was no formerly pure generation. There is no one here but us chickens, and so it has always been: a people busy and powerful, knowledgable, ambivalent, important, fearful, and self-aware; a people who scheme, promote, deceive, and conquer; who pray for their loved ones, and long to flee misery and skip death. It is a weakeing and discoloring idea, that rustic people knew God personally once upon a time - or even knew selflessness or courage or literature - but that it is too late for us. In fact, the absolute is available to everyone in every age. There never was a more holy age than ours, and never a less. - Annie Dillard

I just wanted to ask You (and I know that today its the 15th decembre) if it would be possible that You would make an exception and if I could get such a limeted AFP christmas card too, because my order would be for 153 $ (without shipping) and I saved my money for months just to be able to do that and as hard as I tried I didnt manage it to get the money till 10 th decembre and I didnt want to order yet parts of it cause shipping to germany is very expensive and a student like me hasnt much money. So it would be very nice if you understand me and you could make that exception.
Hope you answer me, even if you dont make an exception so that I know wether its possible or not.
Just wanted to thank you again for the hug and the flowers you gave me in albuquerque A little over a year ago. and your music and voice still are wounderful to me and will be always.
It used to be Marilyn Manson, ironically. Then you partied on webcam, inspired me like crazy, and sold me an autographed christmas card that came in a beautiful fancy envelope. Let's see Manson do that?
