October-ber-ber

There is alot to look forward to this October (and November).

1. New Fuck Buttons album.
I even dreamt I was listening to it last night.
2. New Lightning Bolt album.
I still haven't gotten a chance to listen to 'Colossus' but I'm always excited for anything LB.
3. Where the Wild Things Are hits theaters.
And it looks beautiful.
4. New season of Nip/Tuck.
Came out of nowhere, but good timing.
5. Halloween (duh).
Duh.

I can't think of anything to be for Halloween. I'll feel bad if I don't at least try and do something, but I'm kindof lost. Maybe I'll just wear a sailor shirt and my batman mask. Or I could do what a friend suggested and dress just extra peculiar and have people guess, and whatever they say I am, I am.

You better look out below

The trailer to Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are is pretty heart-wrenching. Whether it's from memories of sitting indian style in a classroom while a teacher read the book to you, or Arcade Fire's emotion crushing dance-a-long 'Wake Up' that scores it. Whatever the reason, it's bound to strike something inside of you that gets you on the verge of tears, even if your not sure why.

Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) is scoring the film, which I'm personally on the fence about. I'm expecting great things, but this sounds like a first for her. If the entire thing was filled with Arcade Fire's Funeral then I'd be happy as bees (a wish of mine since I first bought the album), but rarely do I hear a trailer song actually make it to the final product.

Anyways, Where the Wild Things Are comes out October 16th.
