Ferris Bueller’s Day Off “Soundtrack”
“Unfortunately, Hughes’ didnt feel that the music would fit together well when removed from the film and compiled into an album. The songs work really well alongside the highs and lows of the film, but there isnt much of a common thread running between the songs other than the film’s plot. So unlike Hughes’ other successful films, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off never received an official soundtrack release.” Go get all the songs in mp3 format here.

Despues, despues
When I feel kind of weird and sad, I whisper songs in Spanish to myself. The thing is, I only really know one song in Spanish besides the usual karaoke fare. Yo s?lo quiero mirar los campos, yo s?lo quiero cantar mi canto, pero no quiero cantar solito, yo quiero un coro de pajaritos. [Coro:] Quiero llevar este canto amigo a qui?n lo pudiera necesitar Yo quiero tener un mill?n de amigos y as? m?s fuerte poder cantar. Yo quiero tener un mill?n de amigos y as? m?s fuerte poder cantar. Yo s?lo quiero un viento fuerte, llevar mi barco con rumbo norte, y en el trayecto voy a pescar…

Hardboiled Mexicana
In other news, it appears that Mexican criminales are watching too much Tarantino: “When the police arrived they took the helmet off the corpse, believing at first that he had died in the crash …he had adhesive tape stuck to his face, a knife wound to his forehead, and showed signs of strangulation.” Full story here.

I hate cat people
Since rescuing Yoda the kitten last year, I have grown fonder of cats in general. We grew up with many cats as pets and we loved them as part of the family, but I never really liked other peoples cats or strays, of which my neighborhood in rural Japan is absolutely full (there are constantly between ten to fifteen strays on my street lined with only 20 or so houses). Cats, by nature, are selfish and pretty much endearing only to their owners – kind of like sports cars, except they are not especially benefitted by lugubrious waxing (I assume). What I’m trying to get at is that I’m cool…

Amazon Anomaly
Has anyone else ever received extras in their shipment from Amazon? I ordered a couple of music CDs a while back and when they finally came a couple weeks ago in those new soft cardboard shipping sleeves that Amazon (JP) just started using, there were a couple of completely unrelated J-Pop CDs included in it (combined retail value: over 5,000 yen). Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is god trying to make me like J-Pop? Another huge Amazon annoyance is that half of the shit I ever order from them never comes through – first comes the e-mail that they are out of stock and the item is on…

Shark Bait
Swimming to Catalina Island from the mainland is either stupid or insane, I can’t decide which. I mean, there are GREAT WHITE SHARKS out there and he’s worried about barracuda? You will need a login/pass to view the LA Times article and video. Get it here.

Audioslave in Cuba
An interview with Audioslave, just back from a huge concert in Havana is up at The Wave. Playing old Rage Against the Machine songs to 70,000 spectators sounds kinda like a recipe for revolution: Township Rebellion Rebel, rebel and yell ‘Cause our people still dwell in hell Locked in a cell Yes, the structure’s a cell Mad is the story I tell How long can we wait? Come on, seein’ what’s at stake Action for reaction If your mind’s in a somewhat complacent state Get a check up This is a stick up Our freedom or your life Lord, I wish I could be peacful But there can be no…
