Saturday Night Awesomeness

I got a new Macbook Pro in July. What does that mean? It means, of course, that a brand new super awesome version of it has been released three months later! Mind you, I’m in no position to complain given what I paid for mine.

Speaking of super awesome, maybe your desktop should be.

If you happen to be a billionaire, you might want to get your ass to Germany. There’s a fair going on that you might not want to miss.

A lot of people have contacted me lately about the Daniel Johnston documentary The Devil And Daniel Johnston given that I have posted photographs of Johnston paraphernalia in my house and that I covered one of his songs on my last record. I purchased the DVD the week that it was released, so have owned it for some time now, but thought I would mention for those of you that haven’t checked out the special features that there is a special segment in which Daniel meets Laurie Allen, his life long love and muse, for the first time in 26 years. It’s very moving and certainly worth watching. Obviously, given his struggles with mental illness, I feel a special connection with Daniel’s work. He is, in many ways, an idol of mine. And while many people, and understandably so, don’t ‘get’ his music, I urge everyone to watch the film and then delve into his material. I think you’ll find you have a greater appreciation for it having been exposed to his story.

I was going to go and see W. tonight but am too under the weather. That said, the film’s star, Josh Brolin, is hosting SNL tonight and there are rumors that Sarah Palin will also be there. Anyway, here’s a few SNL clips to hold you over…
