The fall season has started and school is now in session, which signifies that the end of the year is near. Rather than be reflective about 2006, for now, I’ll focus on what I’m looking forward to in pop culture:
Sept. 12 - Only Revolutions: Mark Z. Danielewski’s follow-up to his amazing 2000 tome House of Leaves. I wonder how long it will take for him to complete his third book...
Sept. 22 - The Science of Sleep: Michel Gondry’s film starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Charlotte Gainsbourg (the daughter of Serge!) should be the perfect balance of strange and quirky
Oct. 3 - The Crane Wife: One can depend on The Decemberists for good albums. I also just heard a cover they did of Joanna Newsom’s “Bridges and Balloons.” Brilliant!
Nov. 3 - Love Is All @ The Echo: The Swedes behind noise-pop record Nine Times That Same Song return. Glee!
