Text of the page (random words):
ver i guess this rule also applies to david bowie an unequivocal musical genius whose passing at the age of 69 on the 10th of january still seems way too premature i d like to think that the grim reaper is catching all sorts of hell for this in heaven as we speak while bowie is already off in the corner being hounded by offers to play jesus birthday party and whatever the equivalent of the 02 is in the afterlife i assume that his no more live shows declaration was rendered null and void by his death but who knows furthermore if anyone has figured out how to literally resurrect himself it s bowie there s always the chance he could be back up on earth and wandering the streets of london new york or berlin by st patrick s day so your facebooks twitters snapchats whatevers are likely to be filled with tributes to the late great david bowie for the foreseeable future and sorry if i m adding a further distraction from the endless march of cat memes and gosh this bernie sanders guy sure is fantastic posts filling up your various feeds if you re unfamiliar with this weird old man with the multicolored eyes well you oughta be ashamed of yourself and shouldn t be allowed to listen to a single second more of adele s sonic wails until you ve heard the entirety of the rise and fall of ziggy stardust at least once but for those who have been listening to bowie s music since you were a kid or a teenager or an adult i urge you to give the next day a shot no bowie album can be considered overlooked but this one is likely to be largely forgotten in the days to come it s not his final album and it s not his best but i think it s the best one he recorded after 1980 s scary monsters yes that s a bold declaration and might even be considered sacrilege by fans who think his poppy 80s material is grossly underrated or for whom his meandering 90s concept albums are masterpieces the next day is a bittersweet and relatively straightforward rock album filled with insanely listenable tracks that range from the beautiful valentine s day to the roaring title track then there s where are we now which i consider one of the finest songs he ever recorded here s the very weird video for the tune musically it s a pretty conventional song or about as conventional a song can get when it s been written and recorded by david bowie my interpretation of the lyrics which seem to tell a coherent narrative leads me to conclude that it s autobiographical where are we now is apparently about a reclusive man living in berlin who decides to take a walk one day by himself he s lived a full life because he s david bowie but he s in the twilight of his years and he s feeling pretty lousy about everything there s regrets and memories nipping at the corners of his mind like diamond dogs and there s no escaping the fact that he d much rather still be 25 than in his late 60s the song is directed towards an unknown person maybe his wife the model iman or their daughter or someone else entirely continue reading posted in art music weird comments off on where are we now the force awakens q a posted on december 17 2015 by brandon it s time for my first and presumably last q a blog post about all things star wars without further ado today s question which was sent in from a reader all the way over in portland or q so how was the force awakens note that i will probably never see it so you can spoil away i m just extremely curious of these pop phenomenons can ever live up to their hype a for those of us who have been waiting 32 5 years to see this movie it might as well be the second coming of christ for everybody else it s probably going to be considered a pretty good movie and a whole lot better than george lucas prequels the film is entertaining and funny with lots of gorgeously shot scenes in real world locales and action sequences there s a cute robot zooming about for the kids and a pretty great little story to go along with him it s a great cinematic roller coaster ride unlike in the special editions han solo is also allowed to once again be a dashing rogue and many of his rough edges back in place mild spoiler he shoots first plenty of times and feeds one of his foes to a intergalactic monster without batting an eyelash it s wonderful to see harrison ford once again invested in a role rather than sleepwalking through another blockbuster the script rewards him for being a good sport about returning to a franchise that he s mocked a million times over the past three decades for ford alone the film is well worth a few hours of your time and the sight of one of my childhood heroes getting to be himself again on the silver screen is nothing short of pure joy however the force awakens isn t perfect and i m not enough of a star wars fan to go completely gaga over it naysayers are already describing with terms like jj abrams played it too safe and the movie is pretty much a remake of a new hope i think non fans will chuckle at some of the unintentionally silly moments in the film especially during the final scene and whenever andy serkis character the ridiculously named supreme leader snoke shows up on screen all of these criticisms are fair but i ll defend abrams decision to not get too crazy with disney s 2 billion dollar toy box the primary goal of the film from a business standpoint is to reestablish the star wars universe and erase much of the ill will still festering from the prequels i think the force awakens has and will accomplish these goals it will be the role of future sw installments to break away from the series tropes in much the same way the recent marvel movies have begun busting out of the trappings and traditions of the comic book film genre anyway if only so i have a photo to go along with this here s some further reading compliments of a guy who knows a lot more about the inner workings of hollywood and star wars than i do posted in geeky movies tagged star wars comments off on the force awakens q a a real horror show portland s housing crisis posted on october 29 2015 by brandon i m in portland at the moment where halloween season is in full swing back when i lived in the city i tried and failed to get someone to go to fright town with me it was practically an annual tradition hello family member and or friend would you like to go to the pacific northwest s finest annual halloween extravaganza with me no that place is probably swarming with obnoxious teenagers or it s too expensive were the replies i typically received my girlfriend relented last night and we fought through the crowds at the blazers home opener to get down there fright town is an annual halloween event in the basement of the memorial coliseum that features a series of haunted houses and people running around in elaborate monster costumes like the one below who was eager to dance with anyone and everyone the highlight is a baron von ghoolo s an addam s family style museum freak show bvg s favors cheeky humor over outright scares so guests here will find stuffed were pugs and clowns instead of rampaging witches and zombies gentrification and problems with affordable housing are huge in portland right now but it was still surprising to see a section of bvg s devoted to such a heavy topic in one room a guy dressed as vaudeville barker screams things at guests like soon this town will be more expensive than san francisco and there will artisinal coffee shops in every house as mandated by law honestly i found him about 1 000 scarier than the ghouls over in the cannibal cannery the more conventional haunted house across from the museum the crew even added a snarky banner to the room that thanked the brownstein and armisen alliance for their sponsorship i don t think it s fair to place all the blame at the feet of the duo behind portlandia nobody moves across the country because of a sketch comedy show nevertheless with each passing year portland becomes less and less the town of my youth and yet another overpriced american metropolis as so many others have noted about a million times over the past five years the freaks and artists are all moving on to different climes to repeat this whole process all over again every other article in the portland mercury is devoted to the topic and last week s cover story in ww hit the nail on the head pretty well what s the next american city to get bit by the gentrification zombie my money s on fort collins posted in uncategorized comments off on a real horror show portland s housing crisis some thoughts on jurassic world and its inevitable sequel posted on june 19 2015 by brandon is jurassic world a perfect movie not by a long shot but i haven t had that much fun in a movie theater since i saw uhhhh ok mad max fury road last month i loved every totally ridiculous fan servicing second of this film expect for one i ncredibly cruel death scene that made absolutely no sense don t read the rest of this post if you haven t seen jw and or care about spoilers yes i m about to write several hundred words about a dinosaur movie 1 this is the film that the lost world should have been and the payoff i ve been waiting to witness since i read jurassic park back in the eighth grade it offers a fully functioning theme park filled with 22k thousand tourists for the dinos to tear to pieces instead of a handful of scientists and hunters it presents a what would happen if disney world contained living dinos and everything went to hell in a single day scenario that was amazingly fun to watch on screen i started laughing like a loon when the petradons tear apart the park s main street the shot of an overly ambitious one trying to cart off a baby triceratops from the petting zoo was great i just wish there had been further bits featuring them running amok in the gift shops and the margaritaville 2 anybody who knows is aware that i m completely fascinated by theme parks and the film offers so many great little barbs about the industry the horrible celeb in ride instructional videos great to see jimmy fallon show up in one during the hamster ball scene the indifferent bored underpaid teenagers given too much responsibility on the rides the cynical corporate tie ins all over the place etc continue reading posted in ani pals geeky movies comments off on some thoughts on jurassic world and its inevitable sequel the goonies was released 30 years ago crikey posted on june 5 2015 by brandon i wound up in a discussion on facebook earlier this week that consisted of various people discussing the merits of the goonies versus stand by me both movies were filmed in the 80s and focused on foul mouthed oregon kids going off on adventures they also coincidentally featured anecdotes about large groups of people throwing up all over themselves chunk s theater story and gordy s story about lardass hogan respectively despite that puke joke i ve probably seen the goonies more than other film i grew up in portland and spent a lot of time out on the oregon coast as a kid so there s that it much like stand by me presented kids as they often are thoughtful and intelligent beyond their years fearful of and powerless against the complexities of the adult world and as foul mouthed as sailors stand by me is easily the better of the two films but it s not very much fun to watch on a rainy saturday afternoon but there s a lot of stuff in the goonie s that really makes me cringe sloth being the prime example i m not sure why he needs to be in the film and his character is handled incredibly poorly you smell like fish heads can you imagine a scene about a developmentally disabled guy getting chained up in a cellar landing in a kid s flick these days nevertheless much like stand by me the goonies is also surprisingly deep for a movie about and starring children it deals with themes of loss gentrification class warfare how people become embittered etc the scene in the well is worthy of any much more mature drama fantastic and downright moving even nowadays so says me this was my dream my wish and it didn t come true so i m taking it back i m taking them all back that s one of the best lines to come out of hollywood in the 80s put it up on the pedestal alongside no i am your father and greed for lack of a better word is good greed is right greed works in a nutshell that s why i still watch the movie every autumn when the leaves start turning orange and the seasonal gloom starts smearing itself all over the northern hemisphere it s also why i once hosted a show on kwva the university of oregon s campus radio station that included a segment every week about the cancelled sequel when rumors were circulating in early 00s which always concluded with me hitting the play button on cyndi lauper s the goonies r good enough and why i once broke into the house in astoria while it was being remodeled with two guys that had driven all the way from kansas to see the place with their own eyes and why i actually attended a 20th anniversary celebration in astoria that included full grown adults doing the truffle shuffle alongside jeff cohen i opted out the movie turns 30 years old this monday june 7th and there will be another celebration in astoria honoring it i won t be there but i will be watching the following it seems like an anniversary that i should acknowledge in one way or another even from all the way over here in the netherlands posted in movies united states comments off on the goonies was released 30 years ago crikey 18 somewhat artsy

bunch of photos i artsied some of them up here they are feel free to click on any or all of them for a closer look posted in portugal tagged lisbon portugal sintra comments off on 18 somewhat artsy photos from portugal the whitewashing of the red light posted on july 8 2014 by brandon quartier putain is just one of the many examples of how amsterdam is trying to essentially erase its status as europe s sin city recent city initiatives like project 1012 have shuttered several of its iconic prostitute windows and continue to lead to the closure of several coffee shops de wallen the area better known as the red light district is quickly becoming more associated with quirky record shops than weed and sleaze there s even maps available these days that guide tourists to de wallen s more family friendly businesses and away from those that made the district world famous residents seem divided when it comes to the changing face of their neighborhood after years of putting up with poorly behaved visitors drug addicts and organized crime many are welcoming the shift with open arms others meanwhile lament the changes and fret that de wallen is becoming as gentrified overpriced and downright banal as a million other districts across europe i visited quartier putain a few weeks ago it s a great little place...
