Lemme know what you think.

Greg Brooks is a writer/director with the rare courage to be honest. I encourage everyone to check out Greg's work, esp. his iron-nickel take on LA slanderers called "Come Hard Or Don't Come At All". I think he just put up a clip.

Listening to:

*Rite-Flyers - "Skyscraper" - www.paisleypop.com/featured.htm (scroll down a bit)
John Clayton was my childhood friend. We discovered music together. Spoon covered his "Me & the Bean" brilliantly on their 2001 CD "Girls Can Tell".

*Joao Gilberto: Live In Montreux (1985)
Simply gorgeous. A man and his guitar.

*Pete Doherty & Wolfman - "For Lovers"

Great romantic song, cool video. Was just on those Montmartre steps not too long ago.
