Fur Soft As Fur

The Boy Least Likely To has about five sounds that are all over their album – simple kick, one-man band jangly snare, glockenspiel, bendy synth, and doubled vocal – and it’s perfect for walking in the morning.

I was dumb and went out last night even though I was very tired and still kind of sick, and I got in late and woke up early for work. But walking the length of Spring Street this morning in just a hoodie with my headphones on was very nice. Spring is here, I think. Many thanks to Sarah, who went out of her way to get me past burlysecurityman last night because dumb old me forgot my ID at home.

A series of e-mails sent back and forth between me and my co-conspirator about that film as I was writing about it yesterday:

HER: It’s Will Oldham, not Mike.
ME: Todd?
HER: Right, Gary Oldman.
ME: Gary Numan?
HER: Yeah, Julie Newmar.
ME: Genevieve Bujold?
HER: Yes, like I said, Jenny McCarthy did the music for Drawing Restraint 9.
ME: Candice Bergen’s father’s ventriloquist dummy?
HER: Yup, Edgar Winters.
ME: Shelley Winters cut her own foot off?
HER: Yes, just like I said, Shelley Duvall wore a giant fur kimono.
ME: Shirley MacLaine and Robert Duvall drank amoeba tea and are made out of fishflesh?
HER: Yes, [anon #1] and [anon #2] are blowfish.
