Coma Cinema

Been totally hooked on Coma Cinema for weeks. I know absolutely nothing about this band besides the fact that I downloaded them on the interweb and am hopelessly in love with their sound. The only way I can describe it is that it sounds like the entire Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack transmogrified into one artist. Kinda gives me that awesome feeling that The Microphones and early Modest Mouse did when I first heard em. Plus the album is called "Stoned Alone", which should be reason enough to listen to this. There are two songs below (and a really good bonus track from Balam Acab that has nothing to do with this post) and you can download both his albums FOR FREE RIGHT HERE.

Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam (Film)

Damn, I haven't blogged in two whole fucking months! I'm sure that my 3 or 4 readers were upset for at least a week or so and then got on with their regular lives sans moi. Anyway, I'm back, and you should totally go watch this documentary from the early 90's called Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam. In case you didn't know, Heidi Fleiss is a crazy ass druggie high class prostitute who by the age of 27 was running a large "elite" prostitution ring out of Hollywood. The best part about this doc is simply the characters that are interviewed. The Hollywood movie director who threatens to cut off people's arms and legs, the mysterious israeli ex-military guy who basically runs everything, and Ron Jeremy (who surprisingly had a lot of friends in very high places). Even the fucking BBC interviewer for this film is nuts, not to mention a total perv. You can stream it on Netflix at the link above.
