(TV) Littleton,NPR,BlueLight, & Kubrick

[Russ <russvr@pop.nwnexus.com>]

I'm listening to SaOTs right now and the first song 'a parade in 
littleton' - well... it wouldn't be  the first song I'd place on a 
record. I do like it but I'm glad there are *many* other songs on this 
record that are better. I guess what I get from that song is 
banality...? Maybe Tom saw "Bowling for Columbine" and saw how banal 
life is in Littleton, CO or maybe he's a "South Park" fan - which is 
also supposedly based on Littleton.

Also, just listened to the NPR podcast. Tom seems like a pretty affable 
chap. I like his *unusual* and eclectic tastes in music. I really want 
to investigate some of the jazz musicians he was into early like Mingus 
and Ayler ( both of whom I'm pretty ignorant) and theremin music in 
general.

I still can't get over what a beautiful song  'blue light' is.

Totally unrelated and yet somehow weirdly related, I recently saw this 
early Kubrick movie on TCM called "The Killing" (from 1957) - sorta 
noir-ish w/ voice over. Kinda like 'Dragnet' - story of a race track 
robbery that goes awry . Very entertaining and compelling. I can imagine 
a Verlaine soundtrack for this movie.
