Okay so today I watched "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart," which is a documentary about Wilco made by Sam Jones. It is about the making of their Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album and getting dropped from their label and trying to figure out what to do. It was a really good film, I liked it a lot. I think I can safely say that Wilco is my favorite band in the world. Partially that is because I discovered them when I was like 14 and they are one of the first bands that I ever independently fell in love with. Like Belle and Sebastian. Or Pavement. So I think I will always just love them so unabashedly.
Yesterday I went to a free Decemberists concert in Millenium Park. Fun times. I made a pasta salad. There was hummus involved, so that is always a good sign.
I hope that Flight of the Conchords comes out with a soundtrack.
Another really really good movie that I saw recently was You Can Count on Me. I don't know if anyone else has seen it. I thought I would like it, but I didn't expect how much I would actually like it. I think it is a movie that would appeal to everyone. It is not even that indie-ish, but a lot of stuff in it is pretty subtle. Mark Ruffalo is so good. Well so is Laura Linney, but I think she is good in everything she does. Oh and a Culkin is in it. I think it's Rory? And he's awesome, like just a really solid kid performance. And it's shot beuaitufully. And it's just realistic and pretty heartbreaking and funny and...yeah I really loved it. I don't know why it isn't on anyone's radar, that's weird.
Tomorrow...Harry Potter. My God kids. It should go without saying that I am so excited that I might throw up.
