Some good finds (for once) amid a great deal of drek at the Salvation Army this morning. Two early Elektra Tom Paxton's, promotional copy of Randy Newman's first, a Lord Buckley, with "newly discovered performances", and John McCormack, the great Irish tenor (1884-1945).

I didn't expect to have to make this request again, but here goes: O Time-Travelers of the Future, this is the moment. Do your duty, and good luck!

I watched it this week, and it's very good, but tremendously sad to see Rob Reiner so alive and so close to his horrible fate.
The soundtrack to the new Spinal Tap movie is just tremendous. Looking forward to seeing it.

The minute he walked in the room
You could tell he was a poet of distinction,
A real fine writer...
Hey, Stephen Spender
Spend a little time with me.

I wanted to watch The Man Who Came to Dinner on Christmas night but I had to settle for the filmed original stage version with Nathan Lane on YouTube. And while I'll always cherish the film, I must say Mr. Lane and company do a great job with the play.

I'm listening to Neil Young's latest Talkin' To The Trees and I see that it's co-produced by...Lou Adler! Who just turned 92. Needless to say, God Bless Him.

Something I just realized: In Britain a "villain" is a serious bad guy. In America a "villain" is a comic book character.

I've enjoyed every reincarnation of Inspector Maigret from Jean Gabin to Rowan Atkinson. This new one is good too. Only, since English is apparently the national language of France, why are documents and newspapers and signs still in French?

Noir fans will get a kick out of Thomas Pynchon's latest. A gumshoe in 1930's Milwaukee. Exquisitely inventive period slang and hilarious (but very Pynchon-esque ) patter. I'm enjoying it immensely.
